Do you even read what people paste? I ask because even I find it annoying when you ask a simple question and people start pasting a bunch of stuff if you asked a yes or no question.,... no matter where you are quoting from long answers do not seem to read... am I correct in assuming this?

Usually we go for the easier, and less attention-needing fake Christmas tree, however this year we tried to go o’ natural and now I am beginning to remember why. Is there anything I can do to spare myself from having to vacuum up those annoying little piney things almost everyday?

In the study of religion among primal peoples you find that many believed in "magic". Magic is defined as the belief that supernatural forces can be controlled, influenced and manipulated by executing a ritualistic formula, either physical or verbal. We still, today, in a more fashionable way, utilize superstition, prayer wheels, magic, sacrifices and elaborate doxologies to induce God to favor our requests, grant our wishes and perform miracles upon demand.

Minister, Rabbi and priest are expected to offer prayers on behalf of the desires of their congregation. Does this not make God a divine magician? And does this not make the minister or priest a magician's apprentice?

Are you the type of person that takes a bite off their fork and uses their lips rather than their teeth, as to not leave behind any food on the fork that clumps up and looks pretty gross? I am, but my husband isn't. I love him and accept him for who he is- it's this fork thing that he does LOL! ...And this is a pet peeve I've had since I was really young (a kid). It looks really gross! LOL We were eating biscuits and gravy thismorning- if you get the picture... If you've had a similiar experience with pet peeves and trying to not let them bother you, especially with someone so close (spouse, boyfriend, family member...) PLEASE let me know a good way to let it not bother you as much!

Even though historical evidences such as the Birth place of Jesus Christ, the miracles He has done, the place where he was crucified, and the empty tomb from where He resurrected all is there in Israel, the land of the Jews. Even then, why does not the Jews beleive that He is the son of God?

I don't think that I am narrow-minded neither do others think that about me (except you guys, who can judge someone only by reading a few words...amazing).
neither am I "so enlightened et cetera"(but I liked this reply), I know I am not perfect...but this is the difference between us: I strive for perfection. and this undoubtedly requires an objective view of ego. I mean I am criticising myself more often (and more "harder") than others because I don't want to have any kind of "mystake" or "lowering" atitudes.
and for those who think that I am a "want-to-be-god"-like, then you're not wrong entirely...I am my own god, but not yours.
and yes...my first question was to know your reaction, the result: although I didn't tell that you are all narrow-minded, you understood it as you wanted to or you felt offended who-knows-why (yes...sarcastic).
So i might sometimes express my disgust towards those who are not striving for perfection (yes,I know that perfection doesn't exist).

Not some guy who's just lost his job and home and lives in a small trailer. But, the ones who have been on the streets for over a year. Begging for change, lives under bridges,drinks to kill the pain, is out on his luck. I mean,if he saw you walk by him on the street and he got up stoped you and gave you his "adress" so that you can visit him. Would you ?

Same old movies, movies everyone have seen by now, showing over and over again. Why not treat those staying at home to new movies, why the old movies again. Can a person complain about that.

I am an atheist and my mom doesn't want me to say anything to my grandparents so as not to upset them. Should I graciously accept the religious gifts every year, or should I "come out of the closet", so to speak...

Rescently when doing a reserch on the olest language, i came across both Tamil and Sumerian as the oldest language, Both language has its pillar of support why each of them were meant to be the oldest, but when researched deeply i encounted Sumerian as Archaic Tamil .
This very much make it clear that old Tamil is indeed the the oldest language in the world.
Btween why are they still viewd in seperate account which is still causing confusion.....
Is this what called "not accepting the fact" ?

My brother in law always has amazing, unique ways of presenting gifts. Last year, he froze the gift in a bucket of water. When his recipient unwrapped his gift it was an ice pick. He had to chisel out the actual gift. The year before he bought 500 envelopes, placed a gift card in one, sealed them all. Then nailed them in a wooden box. We have done scavenger hunts as well. I really need to get him this year! PLEASE HELP!
