Ina public shcool history class on the constitution the teacher had said things like

Quoting an article "Shortly after school began in September, the teacher told his sixth-period students at Kearny High School that evolution and the Big Bang were not scientific, that dinosaurs were aboard Noah's ark, and that only Christians had a place in heaven, according to audio recordings made by a student whose family is now considering a lawsuit claiming Mr. Paszkiewicz broke the church-state boundary.

"If you reject his gift of salvation, then you know where you belong," Mr. Paszkiewicz was recorded saying of Jesus. "He did everything in his power to make sure that you could go to heaven, so much so that he took your sins on his own body, suffered your pains for you, and he's saying, 'Please, accept me, believe.' If you reject that, you belong in hell." "

A student is suing the teacher for these comments. Is he right?

Are people who are less educated more prone to being converted to a Christianity that believes the Bible is the last word, than people with a higher education (i.e. doctors, lawyers, scientists)? If so, or if not, why?

K, clarifaction when I say God I mean the Old Testament God.

God: Jealous, kills many, many people, including two for burning the wrong incense, including all of humanity except for Noah and his buddies.

Jesus: Compassionate. Helps those that don't believe. Resurrects at least a couple of people, even though God never did. Isn't a stickler for rules and set guidelines.

If you've read the bible, I don't have to spell it out for you, the God Moses and others speak of has almost the exact opposite charcterisitcs of Jesus.

If God is never changing (I'm sure that's in the bible somewhere) how come he's so different when he comes down as Jesus?

OK, we had a really successful first date -- it's only been 2 days but I still haven't heard from him. I don't wanna appear like an obsessive stalker or anything, so how long should I wait to call him before he calls me?

And if it matters, we did sleep together.

My friend is crazy about Italian motorcycles and cars. What gift should I get him for Christmas in range of 50-100 bucks?
It does not have to be auto-motorcycle connected but has to be original.
Thank you for your answers! :)

Jesus uses that phrase all the time. But what is he talking about? This life or the next? What is it?

Canceling Christmas would make all the gays, Jews, Atheist and Muslims happy

No one seems to be complaining about Hanukah, so we should just make Hanukah a national holiday. I would still get my vacation.

If you hate gays so much, stay out of the GLBT section!!! That makes no sense! Or maybe you're all in the closet and the only release you have from your repressed world is Yahoo! GLBT section. Am I right? You people are so pathetic. For people who hate gays a lot, you really do like hanging around them. There's got to be more to your story.

Are you like a drug user and feel better when you have others like you around? Are you worried about the poor souls of others drowning in hell while being forced to eat adorable kitten poo for all eternity? Does your religion fail without 100% acceptance? Do you get "a** pirate" points for every convert when you reach heaven? Are you a brown noser? Are you a Jesus pet?

Seriously, why to Christians feel they need to convert Muslims? Why do Muslims feel the need to convert Christians? Even the Jews are getting in on the action (people are now allowed to convert because numbers are dwindling).

Is it arrogance? Is it pettiness? Are they just ankle-biting morons? Yes, yes, the Bible and the Quran say to spread the word of the lord...but, why do you care if someone believes differently than you? No really, why? What is the need?

Keith Ellison is the first muslim to be elected to the House of Representatives. He wants to take his oath on the Quran. Should he be allowed to, or should he take his oath on the bible?
