I would like to find someone who can help me get a grant to restore an old building and turn it into a youth group. The area is in a poverty zone and there is no where for the youth in the community to go. Not a bowling alley, a theater, zero, nothing. This town has plenty of children and just one grocery store, one gas station, a hardware store, and pharmacy. And that's it. There is an old abandoned building (what use to be a bar) which we could have. But it needs to be updated with electric, a roof, furnace etc. The building has great potential and could be restored into a youth group. But since we don't have the money to do this where do I go, who do I talk to, who can I contact, how do I write it up. I've never done this before so I don't know where to start so I could use all the help I can get. Please help!

The "idea" of Heaven and the afterlife comes from wanting to be immortal, exist forever. I have to admit, even I want to exist forever. Why do humans feel a desire to live forever?

My ex-boss swapped our phone numbers, so we would hit it off. She described him to me and vise-versa bout me. I called him, its rare to get along with someone non-stop talking bout anything. He called the following day, I was at work he apologizes for not calling me, that he'll call me the next day, his phone was disconnected(true cuz I tried) So days later, I feel I want to talk to him, I was ready to ask him to meet on sunday my only day-off, but he's MIA. I feel that I just barely met him and dont to lose someone I clicked so easily. I feel Like Im waiting next to the phone, I hate that stupid feeling. Im contacting my manager till monday(seems like forever) bout him.

Why is it acceptable in our society for women to be intimate together, ie. dancing together, sitting closely to one-another, touching, whereas if men were to try it with other men, they are labeled as gay or effeminate?

I think that men need to bond just as much as women do, and they usually only get to do this in sports, a safe place for suppressed homo-eroticism.

Europe seems freer, and in Italy, it is not uncommon to find men to going arm and arm down the street.
Thoughts in general to this subject of double-standard?

Science explains many of the "hows" they just don't know the bottom "why". Not excepting the "ape-to-man" theory does not equate to ignoring all science.

Thanks to science I know that the sun is approx 93,000,000 mile from here. How and why it ignited in the first place along with the universe is a mystery to science but not to me.

Science-only people never truly investigate the possibility of the bible being the word of a far superior being commonly referred to as God. They say, for no apparent reason the universe exploded and set life into motion. Then man oozed out of the ocean, became an ape, and later a man. Just because.

I say that the universe was engineered by someone. Where did that someone originate from? Unlike the science-only person I don't have to theorize. I can easily say "I don't know". Hopefully, I will find out someday.

I thank science for the asthma meds I take and the inventions that make my life easier. I thank God for making the science possible.

Just like the song,softly and tenderly is calling. Calling oh sinner come home. I know I will get reported but it is my job to testify. God saved me and I am so happy. Just think about it. If you don't want it, that is your choice.

I know there words of the verse, just not the verse itself

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast

Is it because it's easy to find holes and contradictions in Protestantism since it is broken into over 33,000 sects?

For example, why don't I ever see an atheist quoting directly from the Catechism of the Catholic Church and asking a sincere question about a quote from that source?

A great deity creates a vast universe. On one world of that universe, he places living things. The dominant species... we will call them people... make babies... vilages... towns... cities... nations. They also do a lot of bad things. They murder. Rape. Pillage. Plunder. So, the great deity sends his child onto the world, so his child might love among people, and maybe even teach them the error of their ways. Some of the people listen, and follow this "god child". Before long, news of this new person reaches the officials, and they have the "holy person" executed. The spirit of the child of the great deity fights evil incarnate, frees a bunch of trapped spirits, and returns to the people as a demigod. They tell the people a few things that will happen later in the future, bless a few people, and ascend to their father's kingdom, to sit by his side.

The first person with the "right" answer will get the 10 points for best answer.
