Should we allow Priests or Ministers and other such people around impressionable children?

Forget about the sexual abuse problems.We have all heard those stories of how Priests have used their leadership role, in some cases, to abuse children.But this is about another matter.Though that could play into our reasoning's as well.

Imagine the amount of influence they have to children.Or for that matter, imagine the amount of influence any adult can have on a child.If they told a child that the Tooth Fairy was real the child would believe.If they told a child the Easter Bunny was real the child would believe.If they told the child the boogey man was real the child would believe.

I recently got accepted to a graduate program. There are people I know in that program that are about to graduate. When I told them I got accepted, they look SO DISAPPOINTED as if I weren't fit to be in it. I am a nice guy and make good grades, so why do they look like they don't want me in their program. They don't even know me that well.

Our own F'up. Our spirits coming here and getting trapped here by the forces that create this material dimension.
Everything on this world works together within the ecosytem, to benefit every other lifeform. Except humans, which throw everything out of balance.
We do not belong here!
Hebrews 11 says the faithful were faithful because they saw the
true Kingdom, the Higher dimensions from afar. And knew we are
"strangers and pilgrims" on this world.

Like creating separation between men, putting fear in their hearts, and creating a counter-culture who go on, as a reaction to the "I know-you don't" mentality (clearly by uninlightened people...sinners) to reject anything sacred?

From what i watch on american tv or read from american media, americans always think canadians are idiots, never portraying them in the good light and always making them seem inferior.

I always read on the net that americans say that canadians expect america to defend canada in any attack when the truth is canada has a very capable army and can take care of itself.

Also that canada is very lucky that they can take advantage of america's good economy, doesn't everyone in the world want to take advantage of america's economy. In fact america's economy is good because of the rest of the world.

Also i read that america often ignore canada, if this is true why make fun of them so much and why is canada your largest trading partner if you are really ignoring them.

I am not a canadian. this is just an obeservation. why treat canadians like that it is not fair to them, it is even disrespectful.

if Jesus is God wasnt he born and lived in Nazareth. Then who created the universe and everything else ? Ok if he was a spirit before then came in flesh and blood to earth then who took care of the affairs of the world like making sure the universe was running smoothly while he was on earth? and if he was God for that matter why did he shout "Elah Elah lama sabatchthani?" when he was crucified which meant My lord , my lord why have u forsaken me? then was their already a God above?

Christians have The Bible and many hostorical documents to justify their faith. What has and is happening in the world is as foretold. The majority of atheists rubbish faith rudely, but not because they have evaluated the relevant material in any depth. So how did they reach their conclusions and why so forceful on the basis of so little knowledge?

Are Christians saying that the above Prophets mentioned in the Qur'an are other Prophets who coincidentally have the same names as the Jewish and Christians Prophets? Muslims worship the same God as Christians, since Allah comes from the same root as the Hebrew words El, Eloh and Elohim. Many Christians argue that Muslims don't accept the true Jesus because they believe He was a Prophet. However, this is just a different interpretation. Christians accept that Jews pray to the same God, even though Jews interpret their scriptures differently, because they are still waiting for the Messiah. Islam just presents a different interpretation of the Bible, which is equally valid. There are two groups of Christians, Unitarian and Trinitarian Christians who also view Jesus differently.

I see atheists say really rude things to people on here, with names like wallbanger, slave to the prophet, some lesbian chick godless---and they are the first to chime in when someone says homosexuality is wrong, and they claim to be atheist, they keep talkin bout hell, and people sayin they are goin to hell, goin to hell for what? gotta be something.

I'm working as a teacher and as the years pass I'm finding that childrens names are getting more and more obscure. I'm getting to the stage where I have to ask the kids how to pronounce their names, due to no phonetic rules applying to the random mix of letters that their parents choose. So, why do people do this?

I can feel the love in this video.. People who move to a foreign land, enjoy the freedoms of the land.. and wish to tear it apart.

Islam, your rhetoric will only get you so far. Your actions clearly speak louder than your words.. How long do you expect the world to continue to support you when videos such as this show your true intention.

Shameful, absolutely disgusting filth.. Call me ignorant, call me “racist”, insult me as you wish but this amongst hundreds of other videos clearly show the intent of a multitude of your people.

I expect this question will be deleted shortly, it is amazing.. I can question Christians and they do not seem to try to censor me, they only correct me when they can.. This message is not just about loathing, it is about showing others the truth.
