So God sends Moses to Egypt on the most important mission - to free the Jews. Mission so important that later God himself will be reminding about it in every freaking paragraph of the Bible. And what does he do next? He tries... to kill Moses for no apparent reason. WTF??? Some will say that was because his son was not circumcised, but wouldn't a sane god, if it was so important to him just say something like "and yeah, by the way, i noticed that your son is not circumcised yet, you should do it before you go".
So, insane? Randomly homicidal? Or what?


Also the funny question is - why did he fail to kill him fast? One would expect the Creator of the Universe would have no problem instantly destroying a good part of the galaxy, but this god seems to be embarrassingly weak...

I'm having trouble coming up with a present for my fiance. He wants a pair of really expensive headphones but we've decided they're too pricey (Bose noise reduction - crazy!). Anyway, he's a photographer (so he always needs strange bits and pieces that he can never find) and he's quite handy so I was thinking maybe a really high end Swiss Army Knife? Is that a good present? If you have any other ideas, I'd love to hear them. He's 32, sporty, loves art and culture, English, lives near the beach...

Ted Haggard is the worst kind of SocioPath. Hypocrites are the main reason Organized Religion is losing its affect. I stopped going to church over ten years ago, but maintain a relationship with God through other means (demeanor, behavior, and prayer).

The members of his church seem so Passionate and Devote. He appeared passionate and devote, but ALAS! is really a man who is married to a women, had a homosexual relationship with another man, and did illegal drugs (yes, I know...allegedly did illegal drugs). Futhermore he crushed the spirits of his congregation and dismanteld his family with his lies. Can you imagine how his teenage daughters feel going to school now?

I feel he should be more accountable. Yes, God is the one who makes the final judgement, but this kind of betrayal on such a Grand Scale seems to warrant some sort of earthly punishment.

But what?

I would just like to apologize for the un-Christlike behavior illustrated by another user just a minute ago. Just letting you know that most true Christians would never say that. It was very rude and I hope the person who said it sees the error of his/her ways. God bless all.

A lot of people, upon meeting me, think I am Mexican. But I'm not. I'm Spanish, and there IS a differance. My parents imigrated to America from Spain when I was a few months old. What's the best way to tactfully correct someone who gets mixed up?

John took a 3 point shot, it bounced off the rim. The airplane landed in hot sauce, and the camel ate ice cream, when the job was done, i mean,why would this happen?

Then it started to box the monkey and later that day the phone rang and the job was in Mars, then he ran to see the lions....

why would the U.S want border patrol?

Alright, I have only lived in the US for 2 years & I just recently moved to Chicago with my Boyfriend of one year...I used to go to a community college, but because I moved I quit college this summer. Now I started looking into colleges, I don't know much about american school so I checked out DeVry and UIC and was ready to apply to UIC until my Boyfriend told me about Columbia. He said he wanted to go to Columbia for Public Relations (which I said I wanted to study) anyway, so today I go check out the school & my Boyfriend calls & I say Babe that is a really nice school I really like their academic statement & their programs are great. So he gets all mad talking about I should have never told you that was my idea my college, you can't go & so on and hung up the phone on me! What kind of s*it is this? Why the **** does he act like that? I mean am I beeing insensitive? I don't get it? Am I wtong for wanting to go to this college? I would be going part time, it's not like I would see him

I've always been a christian but lately have been thinking a lot about what i believe and why i believe it!! I read up on scientology (out of interest not to join) and thought hey, thats so far fetched.... but when i think about it.... christianity is 2 and so are most religions. (personal opinion, dont get upset)

I've always been "spiritual and earthy" and believe in the elements etc... and i guess that doesn't fit in with christianity anyways, so i figured i never really was a true believer. I believe in the earth. i'm not sure if i'd be considered a pagan?? or if i just believe what i believe??? i'm just confused

Has anyone else gone through the same thing or have any advice?

When people pray and stick notes in the cracks do these notes stay there until nature takes its course or do someone removed them after so long and if so, what is done with them then?
