I mean its not dust from the saw, its dust of the wood. If you took a file to the saw and grinded it, I think that stuff WOULD be in fact, sawdust.

If I cut a person in half with a saw, is that sawdust on the floor too?

I think it should be called "wood shaving dust thingies"

Any thoughts on this very important matter in our day and age?

I want to know some people's opinions. I am prejudiced towards certain ethnic groups, but I do keep my feelings to myself. I do not disrespect them, I do not hurt them or wish bad things upon them. I treat them the way they treat me. But I can not help certain prejudices against them. I do not hang around with the groups I am prejudiced to, but I would never single them out or not talk to them if they came up to me or anything. At my job I treat them with respect and help them as much as I can. I dunno.. Does that make me a racist or a bad person?

Just curious. I watched the news and they were showing people in the malls and some were just as happy as could be with all the crowds while some were just plain angry.

Hi,
I have a question. People claim that Jesus is a son of God because the gospels say so. But then according to the gospels the authors are unknown. So why they believe in a man to be god from unknown authors. And why do people believe in a books that were written years ago. Even if the man exists how do we tell if he's a son of god or not. I don't want to pray to a man but only god though. And by the way, Jesus died because he spoke against the roman ruler then why people claim that he died for our sin ?
I'm just confused.

As far as I've heard, the Bible doesn't include everything and there are passages that have been kept by humans from humans.

I know it sounds ridiculous, but I'm serious.

Is there any mention in the Bible about what happens to animals souls after they die?

Our neighbors always give us baked goods for Christmas, we aren't close throughout the year, just at Christmas 2 of them bring us cookies and stuff. I'm not a baker but feel terrible that we don't ever return the niceties. Any suggestions for a New Year's gift? One is mormon, so don't suggest booze.

they claim that there are more straights having aids than gays
yeah,it is true,but don't cheer too early
in USA, 56,8% male who are infected with HIV are those who adopt gay behavior
but the gays will shout out:"look at africa,most aids patients are straight"
now what is the difference between an average straight american and an average straight african?
the previous has better medical care,and is better educated
the latter does not
and an average gay american also has better medical care and is better educated than an average straight african
and why there are such a small number of gay africans that have aids?
because straight africans are hostile to gays,so the gay africans don't express themselves freely and they are safer
that the best way to protect gays from infecting HIV is to discriminate against them is quite ironic
Aids is not a straight disease,it's more likely the disease of those whose name i'm so afraid to mention for fearing to be reported by them

while I always give she and her kids something nice.

should I return the favor and start giving HER cheap stuff as well? I suspect she has re-gifted the stuff I am given!

Someone just asked a question asking Pro-lifers if they would be OK with a law that restricted abortion to rape, incest and emergency health related situations. Some Pro-life people say that would be acceptable. My question is, how should rape cases be handled? Honestly, don't you think that suddenly the number of 'rapes' would go sky high?? What's to stop someone from saying they were raped just so they could get the abortion? Would they need proof? Would it have to be a reported rape? So many people are afraid to report rapes or can't deal with the situation for many reasons. Should they be denied the abortion unless there was a police report? Would false reports start happening all the time? Could innocent guys start getting arrested too? How on earth would that work?

I'm pro-choice but I'd like to hear from the Pro-lifers who would be OK with abortion for rape victims. I want to know how you think that should work.

Is the Father and the Son one ? IF they are one , then why do we have a father and a son ? Does'nt the Father and the Son mean that they are two ?

How can we say that God is " the One" , if we have "TWO" the Father and the Son ?

Who is the "ONE" is it God or is it Jesus ?

If God is the "ONE:", than what about Jesus, is'nt he God ??

If Jesus is God, than who is the one in the heavens ?
If you say God, does that mean that there is a God on earth and a God in the Heavens ?? Can something be in two places at once ?

If they are "both" Gods ? Than who was Jesus praying to ?
Was he praying to himself ?
If you say no, that means that he prays to another God not himself ? Than how come we say Jesus is God, if He prays to God "another one" ?

I was reading about him and here's what he did:
Doctors examining him for his later trial claimed that he was a sadomasochist, indulging in self-mutilation, driving needles into his body, mostly around his genitals. He said he tried sticking a needle in his scrotum but it was too painful, and there were needles in his pelvis that were permanently embedded. He would stuff cotton balls soaked with lighter fluid into his rectum and set fire to them. He is said to have consumed not only the flesh of his victims but also their urine, blood, and excrement. He attributed these tendencies to the abuse he suffered in childhood. He also claimed God sent him on "missions" to kill. His murders often involved slow torture. He would tie children up and whip them with a belt cut in half with nails sticking through to tenderize the flesh for cooking.


Scare the heck out of me.

how to please a women?

2006-12-23 18:17:42 · 22 answers · asked by woo-lee 2 in Religion & Spirituality

This family I know has the husband's mother living with them right now. She has been attending some church and they've been raising money for building a new church. Fine and dandy. However the preacher brags that many have donated thousands to guilt trip those who have not donated. So this woman felt compelled to donate $100. Which was basically her weekly money so she has nothing to live off the rest of the week and mooched off the family. Who really don't need the burden since they're low in come and have kids.
The woman was obviously stupid but shouldn't the church be greatful for all their donations not just ones that are a thousand dollars? Do many churchs act this way? Do you think it's very Christian to guilt trip?
