Why are we blamed for forgetting things when we have tried our best to remember?

It is no good assuming that people have not tried to remember because you cannot prove that, and everyone has a right to fair trail and so we have to prove it.

Have you ever had your teacher moan because you forgot to get your PE kit?
You tried to remember, but saying this to the teacher just doesn't cut it.

Tell me how a teacher can be right dispite this? and why.

This is something that I have been trying to figure out for ages. I really need an honest answer. Is it because they want to take out thier frustration on the kids or something else?

I would like a very indepth and conscise or scientific answer.

Rev 20:13 talks about "White Throne Judgment", which in my views simply means this:

**When you accept Jesus into your heart, you win a ticket to Heaven, no matter what. It's a free ticket.
**When you don't accept Jesus, you'll go to the "White Throne Judgment" and God will judge you on your works, your deeds.

Whether my views are correct or not, doesn't even matter. There are two options: God is moral and accepts good people or God is amoral.

If there is a God, then the only two choices for us atheists are acceptance by a moral god or refusal by an immoral god.

Assuming that nobody wants to spend eternity with an immoral god, then if the second one is true, hell (i.e. far from the immoral god) is the better place to be...

And no, I'm not an atheist who "is afraid of hell, blah, blah blah"...I'm just tired of Pascal's Wager.

In most cultures women are second-class. I'm just wondering to what degree in these three cultures women are subservient. In what areas are they equal? Do they usually do as they're told without question or argument?

If anyone knows anything about the dynamics of the man/woman relationship in any one of those three cultures, please share what you know. Thanks.

I've started to realize that I may be attracted to emotional pain and hurt. I find that I put myself into situations where I will be hurt emotionally.

For example, I tend to crush on straight guys constantly and guys who can't and won't reciprocate those love and affection. i've thought about it a lot and i think that a part me secretly digs getting hurt and beat up on.

Are these feelings typical? do you think that i should be worried about this?

People are nicer in person. Is it because there are lots of immature losers that spend too much time on line or could it be that people lack the guts to act this way in real life? Is it both? Is it something else as well?

There are over 100 verses in the Koran that i have which commands jihad & to murder to get into paradise,so if a Muslim does not die in jihad as a martyr how do they or moderest (those who don't go to jihad at all) Muslims get to their paradise ? Even Muhammads first successor Abu Bakr was worried that he would not go to paradise because he didn't die in jihad, even though he fought loyaltly in jihad !

I was born a catholic, was raised to beleive everything the bible taught me word for word and when I was in high school something so contrary happened it made me forever skeptical. It was simply for me was when I asked my teacher who was a priest why does it not make sense to me that Adam and Eve had two children who were both males yet the bible never mentions any other women and he replied matter of factly to say Jesus spoke in parables and you shouldn't take everything literally word for word, they are all just stories afterall. I was litterally stunned because up until that point I was taught by every catholic teacher and priest that I was supposed to accept the bible as fact. I was also taught that a priest was to be held in the highest regard and I do not think I have to go into details about that one, so how does one have faith after realizing everything was one big lie............

Ok, here is the entire story before I ask the question because you need this to make your decision. My uncle, two years ago, died on January 16th. The second anniversary of his death is coming up, and for about a month before his death, he was in the hospital. He had a bunch of stuff wrong with him, but the main thing was pancreatitis. That's what landed him there. He also had liver problems. He was the uncle I was closest to and could literally talk to about anything. I've been having a very hard time lately, one of many since his death, and was thinking about him among the three people lost that year (one to brain cancer and one to sudden stroke). This is going to sound weird, but the light in my hallway started flickering and flashing neurotically. I had just left it and was in the bedroom where my husband and daughter were. I looked at it, and for some reason I am not very sure of, said "Ok Uncle Jimmy". The moment after I said that, it stopped. Is this him or what?

"Jewish, Christian, and Islamic Fundamentalists have long been waging a “culture war” with the Western world’s concepts of justice, science, democracy, and pluralism, which they refer to as “the Forces of Evil.” It is well past time for liberal, moderate, and even conservative Jews, Muslims, Christians, Neopagans, Unitarian Universalists, Atheists, Agnostics, and everyone else who isn’t a religious fanatic, to start consciously fighting back against deliberate ignorance, religious bigotry, and sanctified violence — that is to say, against Fundamentalism.

As I said before, it is time to take effective action to “contain, subvert, and dethrone Fundamentalism wherever and whenever it oppresses its own and other peoples.” What does this mean? To begin with,

Reconstructionist, Reform, Conservative, and secularized Jews have to stop respecting those Orthodox and Hasidic Jews (at home and abroad) who advocate violence against non-Jews in Israel, who attempt to revoke the civil liberties...

OK, some of us can only handle so much anger and hate . . .

To those of you who think it's fun to insult:

If someone's fat, you insult them. If someone's skinny, you call them anorexic. If someone's Christian, you tell them they believe in fairy tales. If someone is an Atheist, you tell them they will go to hell.

Arabs: Terrorists
Americans: Stupid
Bush Supporters: Idiots
Liberals: Idiots
White and Proud: KKK Members
Black and Proud: N*ggers

What do you have to say for yourselves?
