1. I work as hard as the next person but my husband (in addition to my full time job) wants me to to geta part-time job) - he thinks he's the next Bill Gates and wants me to be totally supportive of helping him achieve his empire building dreams. He wants what he wants and honestly believes I am like an 8 year old and am incapable of having an opinion. Therefore I need him to make all my decisions for me. If I say no to what he wants he is threatening and says that I'm lazy and that I neva want to get anywhere.

2. I work as an attorney and am constanting reminded of my billing percentage - that is, every minute practically at work has to be directly billed to a client by way of invoice. But not absolutely every minute of your day can be billed to the client - but my two female bosses don't see it this way and just pounce on me whenever my billing percentage is not looking like a 10 out of 10. They claim the partner at the firm will pounce on them if they don't do this.

I am having trouble finding this. Where does it say in the New Testament that Jesus came and did away with the "Law of Moses"? Where does it say we are only supposed to follow the commandments that Jesus followed? I can't find anywhere that says, after Jesus dies for our sins, we don't have to follow God's commandments listed in Torah. Why would Jesus/God do away with commandments that He created in the first place? Did He make a mistake? None of this is making any sense. Also, if anyone believes in replacement theology, where at in the New Testament does that idea come from? Please help me with this, thanks. (sorry there are so many questions!)

How do you explain the fire analogy used in the bible to describe hell, and the fact that the center of the earth is extremely hot?

No one had any way of knowing that the middle of the earth was hot when the bible was written.

Of all the ancient writings, what was used to determine what should belong in the Bible? Since these determinations were made by men, and humans are fallable, how do we know we aren't missing something valuable that was left out?

10. You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

9. You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.

8. You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

7. Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!

6. You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.

Ok, here goes...I'm a lesbian and I've known for ages, and my best friend is gay, but the other night we were at his house watching a movie and, well, I don't know what happened but we ended up holding hands and kissing and stuff...It felt really good and it felt right, but I know that I'm not sexually attracted to guys and for him it has always been guys, he's never been attracted to a girl. While we were lying there it was perfect and I never wanted it to end...and when we were talking about it afterwards, I found out he felt the same way. So now we are both confused...we feel like we're in love, but we just can't figure out how that could have happened...Has anyone else ever experienced anything like this?

I think I made a mistake and put in writing "sorry to hear about the loss of your brother."

I realize some people may not want to be reminded, but I'm not sure to leave it just blank either. (Of course just my name will be signed).

I always seem to be attracted to older men. I think its because they are more respectful and mature then guys my own age. Im not saying I act on these odd atractions but i cant help who I end up having interest in. Any reasons why this is? Is it normal?

has repeatedly denied claims of wishing my children death. Well, I had a miscarriage. Check out her Q and A in the link below for her absolute denial of insulting my children and I for being muslims. Here is the email she sent to my box today. What is wrong with people like her that they rejoice in the pain of others and are happy to say these things? What kind of cowards are they that they can send these things and then block any responses? If you think she's wrong for it, give this question a thumbs up. It shows your support for uniting all and stopping senseless hatred. She's also obsessed with me because in response to her question about muslims killing their children, I provided evidence from the Quran that she was wrong. She couldn't handle it and now leaves messages such as this. To see her obsession, again, click on the link. Email will follow in the add details section. http://au.answers.yahoo.com/my/profile?show=c40072dc9d1ec6693277065f1a0a31c3aa

I don't understand how our faith earns us the classification of WORLD CLASS IDIOTS! So many people talk about Christians as if we are complete morons simply based on our religious beliefs. Our actual individual accomplishments aren't even considered.

In Siberia a group of scientists in the late 80's who were Russian were doing a drilling experiment in the earth. They accidently swung the dilling machine the wrong way, and had a microphone lowered deep into the earth. What they recored shocked them. The heard screams mutitudes of them that were deafining. And the heat they recorded in the drilling experiment was around 2000 degrees fahranheit (how ever you spell it, as I am crap at spelling)The scientists quit their jobs after that(do not blame them)And there were witness around who were given an injection so it would take away the memory. I heard it on the internet and is scared the crap out of me. go to www.almightywind/sounds of hell and hear it for yourself, and get back to me and tell me what you think. I believe it is real. Hell is int he centre of the earth. Where do you think volcanoes come from?They come from the earths crust, deep on the earth. Hell sounds like an inferno. I am glad I am a Christian. This is a true story .
