My niece is 18, my nephew is 15.
What would be the best gifts for teenagers. I know Jake (nephew) is into skateboarding. Jess (niece) shopping and the like.
I don't want to resort to just gift cards or money.

My friend is a lesbian (or bi) and has a girlfriend that she just classifies as a roommate. I found out that they are a couple and she knows that I know, but she has not been truthful about their relationship to me. She wants me to act as though I don't know, but that makes communicating with her difficult at times. How do I let her know it is okay to be who she is when she is trying so hard to hide that she is gay from everybody including herself?

I have here than one time God asked for an opinion on how He shoul treat men,than satan said:Force them to worship you. But Jesus said: No,let them be free to make a choice;Than God likes Jesus opinion better than satan's,and thats when satan revelds and some other angels agree with him,so God send him and his followers to hell(or to the earth I'm not sure)and than they become demons?

This is not argumentitive. Is your problem with believers the individual believers, or the religion?

For example, I consider myself to be an educated, and kind person, and I believe that Christ taught us kindness. I am not opposed to homosexuals being given equal rights, I never vote my faith, I vote the politics. I am a Christian, but do not associate with any particular religious movement, such as Cathiloc, Baptist, whatever, I just follow Christ.

But RELIGION, and its movements in the past, with men who kill in the name of God, who force conversions, who continue to speak out loudly about many unpopulare and discrimanitory laws and practices, is that the problem?

I am not talking about your personal belief, Im just wondering if your problems with Believers, stem from not liking a group without knowing the idividuals (blanket statement ALL Christians hate gays), or if it the religious movements themselves that are what bothers you more?

I came across this wonderful video sermon given by a catholic priest who has the heart to tell the truth on the subject of demystifying paganism.
Before you hate please watch.

What happened...what cause you to think about what you really believe in? Did you stand your ground, did you listen to the other side, did you change your believe system some?

Batseries5 Question 2 of 5 (spiritual). I will ask a series of 5 questions a day (psychological, spiritual, sexual, polls, and miscellaneous). If you have time, answer all 5 during the day for a broader perspective of yourself. Have fun!

On holiday this year i got chatting to a really nice woman who had a couple of kids around my kids ages, they all played well together and i got on well with her. We spent a couple of evenings in the entertainment venue and our husbands joined us. My husband is a quiet person till he gets to know people, but if he doesnt like them he wont have anything to do with them. Thing is the wife is lovely, good natured and kind but her husband is the sort of bloke you want to slap. He is loud, crude,borish and constantly drunk.
I know they will turn up at my hose unannounced and my husband will be well peed off. How do i tell them i dont want to be in contact anymore? i really dont want to hurt her feelings.

In a public place, where kids should be well behaved and their behavior could bother other people, such as a nice restaurant.

Why do people live their life without God in it? I don't get it. You may not want to admit it but he is in this world weather you like it or not. The majority of people on earth do believe in him so get used to it! He is always here for you and will wait until you wise up and and except him. Don't give me this stupidity of Christians needing something to believe in because we need that "security" in our lives. What if your wrong? What would you do? If we are wrong we have nothing to loose, but if you are the ones who are wrong, you have everything to loose and you don't even know it.

(A) Passing a spark through a mixture of gasses forms simple amino acids but -

(B) they are only the very simplest of 'building blocks' used in the formation of larger organic molecules.

(C) they must be caught in a cold trap to prevent the spark from destroying them

(D) a reducing (non oxygen) atmosphere is necessary.

(E) any amino acids forming would have been destroyed by the ultra-violet rays of the Sun. These conditions would not have occurred in nature.

(F) Even allowing millions of years, there has still been insufficient time or material in the whole universe for very complex organic molecules to have formed BY CHANCE.

When are you going to start realising evolution is a lie?

I'm making cookies, brownies and cupcakes for my co-workers, which I will be wrapping up very nicely...plus, they get a nice mug! And my boss gets a $20 Nordstrom giftcard from me, also!!!

Happy Holidays!

When people use the expression "HOW DO YOU DO?" instead of "nice to meet you", "pleased to meet you", do BOTH people who meet for the first time use the INTERROGATIVE intonation while they say the words, as dictionaries and grammars suggest?

How true is hindu vedic astrology?.....is it really accurate? the timeing?........I've been dating this person for about 3 mos and consulted with a astrologer(gave my time of birth, place, name). We were just having lots of "ups" and "downs", and the astrologer advised that we will be having lots of uncertainys and advised on wearing a special gem stone, that will do wonders. The astrologer predicted that after March things between me and my boyfriend, will take a more permanent status, till then we wil have uncertaintys. I got the gem stone, and put it on as advised. My boyfriend, just texted me asking us to call it quits ---i am just devestated at this moment....

This astrologer has over 20 yrs of experience in vedic astrology. I just need to confirm - if vedic astrology is very true or not? any hindus to this notion.

From a Question by Justin: Christ was 100% man and 100% divine. Christ is the second person of the Holy Trinity. God (the Son). thus since Mary gave birth to him and raised him...this would make her the mother of God. not the mother of the Father...but of the Son (both God)?

Right?
