i've been with my 'wife' for 3 years; i've known her for 19 years. over the past 6 years, she's been battling a huge drinking problem. very recently, she's been diagnosed as bipolar. i've been very supportive. very supportive, even after she lost her job. she's verbally abusive when she's drinking and throw things and punches holes in the wall. she started new meds before christmas, which is a huge step because she finally admitted she needs help. she's seeing a shrink; two, actually. the problem is that she keeps promising she'll change, then drinks, doesn't take her meds & insults me. we had a long talk on new year's day about starting over and moving back home (i think that's what has triggered the depression). but that night and since, she's been her usual drunk self. it used to be that anytime she was sober, i tried to be happy & have fun with her, so she'd want to be sober; but now, i'm just mad & hurt. what would you do? stay or go? why?

If God is omnipotent and can do whatever he wants, can he decide to call it quits?

I just saw someone claim that babies die because of sin. I can't think of any sin that a newborn might've committed. Is it original sin that causes them to die? Or does the existence of sin in general kill them? If that's the case, how does that work? Exactly how does Joe's sin kill little baby Bobby?

I just saw this video on Yahoo and wonder what your thoughts are on this? I personally think it is ridiculous, but as an atheist I have no use for any religion. But I guess to each their own. :)

I know that not all young people are without God, but it really seems as though the young people these days have no limits to the immoral life style they live. What do you say? Do you think this generation needs more prayer? What say you?

ones grave? They were two handmade silk flowers, and pretty too. I put two of them in the vase, and I came the next day and 1 was missing. And then I came the following week, and the second one gone. Someone threw it near a wall far below and crushed it in their hand because it was wrecked. Why would someone do this?

My sister goes out on the road for the first time with her husband the truckdriver. At a very large truckstop she was confronted by another woman while passing in the restroom. She smiled and looked into my sisters face and told her that she had a sick mother. Our mother has a rare form of cancer that lies in the lining of her veins. This shocked my sister as there was no way she could have known her. She told her that mom was worse last year then got better, and now its come back, "is it cancer?" she asked, and told her that everything would be allright. She then proceded to tell her things about my sister that only her and God knew. When my sister asked how she knew, she told her that the Holy Spirit laid it upon her heart, but she hadn't used this gift in many years, then she told her that her daughter would also be fine. My neice is only 15 and preagnant. We have been raised very conservative Christians and want to believe, but how can this woman have this gift and not one of us?..

Is it possible for an individual to see from two separate points of view simultaneously? I'm speaking of the sacred and the secular, or Atheism and Theism. Would it be like switching from a telescope to binoculars?

The only part I didn't like was when Shane went looking for Carmen at her house and Carmen's cousin pushed Shane on the ground. That was messed up. Plus Shane was totally screwing up this whole episode.

I just answered a question that referred to "you white racists". That makes me so angry! Why is it white people are the only racist ones as far as any other race is concerned? In my eyes, if you are generalizing a race as anything, isn't that racism? I'm just so sick of having to constantly pay for things that happened in the past, things people around today didn't have to deal with but are taking out on us as if revenge for their ancestors, when really, we're so racially mixed, you really don't know if someone is white, black, indian, or some other descendant. How long are we gonna have to throw racism around? At this rate, it will never go away.
