I know a person that has extremely high expectations of me and because of these expectations, whenever I let them down they ignore me for days at a time. They often act very surprised and even disappointed when I dont know something that they do. Keeping in mind this person is 6 years older than me, has been to college, co owns a company and went to all four years of high school. I, on the other hand went to a 2 yr business high school and graduated at 16 which is why I'm missing vital history info. Right now I am in college majoring to be a Teacher so I still have a lot to learn. The other day we were talking and I didn’t know something and they got all weird and made this big deal about it. It made me feel like I was being put down. The next day I tried to call to chat and they hung up the phone on me. I feel like I’m under great pressure to live up to this persons standards and like there is no room for air or era.Is it wrong to end this friendship? Serious Responses only please.

Why in anger God flooded the Earth killing countless beings and then made some small magic wonders else where? Why didn't God use his own power to tame his own mind, stop his anger and be a loving being? Anger is low and easy, while love is high and difficult. Seems God needs serious mental training!

I, and millions of others, donate money to St. Judes Children's hospital. We have compassion for the poor children who are unlucky enough to get cancers, rare diseases, etc. Why these children get sick (and sometimes die) is a mystery, but I've been told that god allows these things to happen to teach all of us lessons.

Obviously, I (and others) do not agree with god's tactics, so we try to save these poor children. Were we to not do this, many, if not most of these children, would die.

So perhaps this compassionate god allows them to get sick, and then demonstrates his compassion by working through me, an atheist, but I prefer to think that I am acting of my own volition. Either way can't be proven.

That said, how exactly does god show his compassion in a way we CAN PROVE it is him, and not luck/random chance, or human free will? You can have all the faith, and recite all the verse, but without real proof, god is no more compassionate than he is indifferent.

Please give examples.

I think this is a great "text book" to learn colloquialism of foreign languages. What do you think?

mean I see so many memorial signs that say "don't steal flowers". Do people have no conscience or no soul?
And what do they do with the flowers? Take them home or put it on a friend's grave? I've also heard its used for "black art?"

And where is that in the bible in relation to the sin of child molestation, abortion, rape, slavery, etc?
Couldn't they think up a better and more moral 10 commandments?

I got my hubby a couple of big car parts and if I wrap them he'll know what they are.

I wrapped a decoy gift in one of the car parts box and I'm hoping he pays attention, but then what...

Any ideas for a hunt or something?
