She tells her daughter that Santa does not exist.
What are your thoughts about this?

Why do you pray to the saints? How does one get to be a saint? Where in the bible does it say to seek out the saints for either prayer or intercession? Not trying to be insulting, I am simply curious.

In English, adjectives come before the noun they modify, right?
Then why do we say "notary public" instead of "public notary";
the same happens with "attorney general", and many others.
Is there an exception to the rule or something?

If someone is about to kill you, but you end up killing them out of self defense, is it a sin? Will you go to hell?

I need historical, religious, and literature examples that prove Emerson's qoute that "to be great is to be misunderstood."
I already have Budha, who was misunderstood for his beliefs, and Jesus Christ, Abraham Lincoln, and Galileo. But i need more, and I can't think of any.

Or men for that matter-Imagine Governments growing populations to replenish dwindling numbers rather than spending $Trillions on SEX without lifestyle contraception or MIGRATION without ethnic invasions. No more Spina Bifeda, HIV, Autism, Baldness or other defects. Forward your DNA profile to Fertility Utilities Corporation (FUC) and they will pay you to bring up your “Designer Babies” with your choice of sex, height, hair, eye and skin colour. Large penis and breast sizes, high IQs come as standard options.

I'm not trying to be rude at all. I simply don't understand why black people act and think all a sertain way. They blame the white population for the slavery thing, when it was their own black brothers that sold them to us. They all seem to be century's behind in intelligence and cleanliness. They don't try to better themselves, except when they are trying to take other peoples money for nothing. They are statistically nasty, don't take care of their kids, uneducated, thugs, rapist, gangsters, etc.. Why don't they just go back to Africa? Oh yah- their country is plaged with AIDS ( one in four have it) Plus they want to stay over in america so they can live on our wel-fare and pop out a dozen new thugs. Plus they want to leach off of the white population. I realise there are some blacks that are very cool and outstanding, however 99% are not. If you say that you disagree, then you have never had to co-exist with them. They are like roaches in Texas.

People were more open minded back in Biblical times compared to today?

Think of the Prophets and their ability to have people follow them. Those people had to be very open minded don't you think. If someone tried that today, people would laugh or scoff at them and call them crazy.
It's my understanding that we only use a small percentage of our brains. It's also my understanding that if we stop using a certain brain function that connection in the brain that allows us that fuction becomes cut-off. That fuction can be rewired once we require it again. So, maby throughout the last 2000 years we have slowly lost what fuctions were there in the first place and have become in a sence close minded.

With me or against me...... you have to think about it.
