When you talk to someone, who does not believe that Thor is the creator, they seem so miserable. I feel sorry for them, they are lost.

Do you think they deny Thor because they do not want to be held accountable for their actions?

They seem so angry and miserable and lost without Thor.

People who continually mispronounce common words or continually use words to mean one thing that mean something entirely different and never realize it. This woman I work with does this. Below, on the right, is a list of words and on the left is how she pronounces them

Supposedly=Supposibly
Especially=Exspecially

I am British, but I have visited America, met a lot of Americans abroad, and had American friends on my home turf. I have found them to be very nice, polite and well-mannered, both the ladies and gentlemen, and by-and-large very well educated.

Now I know this is of course not representative of the whole US population (an observation that works both ways, of course), but do we really have to lay in to each other so much? Our nations are allies, have been since the Independence.

Isn't it sad when we're at war together in the Middle East (justified or not), with very few other friends, and yet we have to bicker between ourselves? It verges on pathetic.

The total lack of respect for our nation's war veterans (particularly as far as WW2 is concerned) on this site is sickening; the Americans saved us, no they didn't, yes they did etc etc.

Can't we just accept that tens of millions of our guys, girls and children died so we could slander them 60 years on?

Let's get along?

My fiance and i recently became sexually active and since i wasnt with anyone else prior to him he asked me if i want to try different things so i said sure. Well the more we try the more it gets wierd and pretty uncommon. hes been asking me to use objects to put up his *** and to me it sounds gay? i did it once or twice cuz he said he just wanted to feel it and see if he likes it and he really really liked it. He also tried it to me and i didnt like it so much. Prior to this he has been the straightest man i know. Am i freaking out or is this normal but not spoken about?

Just look on the Internet. Actually just look on Yahoo Answers. . Obviously, people still think the same things they did 60 years ago. Only today, they are afraid to say it in public. But the anonymity of the Internet allows them to express how they truly feel about other races. So why delude ourselves into thinking that racism is dying when it's really alive and well...just hiding?

Do you think it's fair to say that you could make a statement that was stereotypical without being racist? For example, saying "black people like to eat fried chicken" or "white guys like stock car racing" is stereotypical, sure. But is it still racist if it doesn't imply anything negative about the group?

The worst of offenders is this group called "christians" who claim that "god" is the creator.

They even have a developed alternate atheist theory published called the holy bible. These lies are only meant to seperate man from Thor.

How do we stop them?

Yeah its a generalization but I don't feel like being specific. All of the posts from pagans and my own personal experience has led me to one conclusion. As christians we forget sometimes to see our creator in his creation.

I do not believe that he and creation are one in the same no more than an artist is his or her painting or sculpture. However, you do see the love, creativity, and spirit in it.

When I am in the middle of a forest, away from the bustle of the city, I feel a great spiritual presence. For me, that is God's spirit.

As such we also have done a bad job taking care of the earth and its creatures.

Agree or Disagree?

Look at flu viruses. They keeps adapting to the vaccines we use. We see it. It's a fact. It's happening now. That's evolution. It's not micro or macro, it's EVOLUTION. Micro and macro-evolution are the same thing. It just takes a long time and a lot of little changes to see the big changes.
