Think about it...

the earth's soil is fertile and allows plants to grow, to come up from the ground, and provide oxygen for us to breathe. without oxygen there is no life.

So why not worship the earth, why not call it "god" as it has given life to us all. At least the earth is tangible...you can touch it, feel it, know it will always be there.

Or is that too much of a "dirty hippy" philosophy for you all?

Southern people talk funny too. But the majority of the US don't have such an intense accent as the east coast and southern people. Why is it? Some Americans relish in talking with a thick accent. I am from the midwest and have no discernible accent or so I've been told from all types of people.

I am a photographer and on ocassion, I get asked to shoot at weddings and such. This weeked I had to shoot a wedding, but the priest did not allow flash photography inside. This is NOT a famous church, rather a small community temple, and this is NOT a well lit place. It has low stained glass windows all around (which burned when I exposed for the couple) and very orange tungsten lights... I was forced to use ISO1600 with my fastest (f/1.4) lens. I did OK, but I am wondering WHY DO SOME CHURCHES PROHIBIT FLASH??? Maybe a priest can help answer this...

God said that if they ate they fruit they would die. The serpent said that if they ate the fruit they would gain knowledge. God lied, the serpent told the truth. Why do people hate the honest serpent but love the lying, decieving god?

Seriously... so many hypocrites. Everywhere people whine about global warming and the impending gas crisis (which I think are very real), yet they keep buying those ugly, expensive, innefficient, polluting SUVs.

Come on, if you don't do off-road exploring in wild areas, and just stay in the city, what's the point? Your family is not that large, you can easily fit into a minivan, or a nice, fast sedan car.

But no, you'd rather have your wife (a socialite with way too much time on her hands), drive at 10 mph, blocking the road with that f*cking huge ugly shoebox on wheels, and making me late for work, right?

SUVs are expensive, ugly, unsafe, pollute unnecesarily, and are almost always driven by spoiled hags that go slowly because they have way too much free time on their hands.
Man, sometimes I really hate people.

Do English people often confuse these common expressions and use them the wrong way? "How do you do?" should be said once in a lifetime, unless you are totally forgetful and you don't remember you've already met and know the person, while "How are you?" could be said every time you meet this friend of yours. Am I right?

i'd like to hear other peoples views on what happens when you die. There are so many theories and i'd love to know what most people believe. I believe that there is no hell just a heaven designed for each person. Everything and everyone you love will be there and it's almost like you are god because you have powers (physical and mental). eg. if you want to relive a special day you had when you were alive you can go back there and watch it all from the view of a 3rd person (invisible of course!) Also i believe that you can choose whether you would like to live again as someone or something else - and you can say no and do it later if you want to. What do you all think happens?

Or is it just a failed piece of human genetics? If it had a soul, why does it die before life?

Supermarkets and food manufacturers have been subjected to blackmail on a number of occasions, usually in the form of contaminating foods, or threatening to do so, and demanding money in exchange for ceasing or refraining from this contamination. Should a supermarket or food manufacturer resist this type of blackmail, or should they negotiate with the blackmailer? Explain.
