Hypothetical #1:
You own a hotel in America. You have a reservation for an "A&S Smith" from Canada on their honeymoon. They show up, marriage certificate in hand, and turn out to be Adam and Steve Smith, just married in Toronto, Canada. They've reserved the Honeymoon Suite and have been promised all the treatment customarily given to newly-weds.

What do you do?

Hypothetical #2:
You run a hospital in America. You are responsible for deciding which family member makes the decisions for incapacitated patients (those who cannot speak for themselves).

An ambulance shows up with Adam and Steve Smith inside. Adam is fine but poor Steve was hit by a truck while crossing the road. Steve is in a coma. Adam insists that being Steve's lawfully wedded spouse he has the responsibility to make decisions on Steve's behalf.

What do you do?

I thank god that my family equiped me to understand the nature of racism as it exists in the educational systems and poeple that I encountered growing up. Racists target the very young as they are the most vulnerable, and suceptable to their bigotry, particularly in educational systems. Internalizing the toxic emanations of such would have done a lot of damage to me if I had not been otherwise equiped. I see it in others who weren't as fortunate as myself and for them it could very well be too late. What do you do as a parent to equip your child so that they are sufficiently armed against the damaging affects of others ethnic bias, hatred, racial jealousy and intolerance?

You have sin because Adam and Eve ate the fruit - God had no choice. You go to hell because you choose to - God had no choice.

Can't God change the rules? Why doesn't he?

Lately I have been wondering if the bible was a fictional story that has evolved over time, through poor interpretation and the hands of the wrong people into the way we know it today. I think maybe it was written by many people, hence the books of the bible, and put together for 1 long fairy tale. What if the bible was the Harry Potter of it's time? Just a thought. Any one else feel this is possable?

A friend of mine is getting married out of state in August. Her shower is in July. I can't make it to the shower, but I am planning on attending the wedding and reception. I asked a question about giving cash as a gift at the reception, and received responses that it was sort of tacky, and that a gift would be better. One guy even said that bringing a gift to the reception was tacky. My question is: Should I send a gift from her registry to the shower even though I can't attend, then just show up at the reception empty handed, or should I send nothing for the shower, but bring a nice card with cash to the reception? Or should I do both--gift for the shower, money at the reception?

As an atheist, you will VERY seldom hear me making a prayer request, but today my sister, a good Christian like many of you, had to euthanize her cat. So how about an appropriate little prayer for Rudy the feline to send her off to kitty heaven? In return, I promise to try to be more tolerant of your views on religion, okay?

In my nkjv study bible the study notes says for Gen 3:8 that "here comes God for an evening walk & a cozy chat......."
The scripture reads: "& they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day..." Some say God is only aspirit when it shows here he is walking & talking so this is flesh correct?,it ls like someone walking behind you & you get startled & go hide, that is what Adam&Eve did for they thought he was upset for them disobeying him. to me it looks like he was in the flesh since they weren't mortals yet.
Any extra help would be nice.

Why are there so many militant Christians out there?

Do Baptists really think they are going to reach people with such things?

Granted this Baptist churches rhetoric is a bit extreme...but, isn't Fred Phelps saying what many of you fundamentalists think? He is just using direct inflammatory words to say it.

-Do you not realize how many people you turn away with such rhetoric?

Your thoughts?

Some of the traits are loud and inappropriate non-stop speech, stealing, literally running from one dangerous activity to another, getting into fights, complete self absorption. I am thinking this is something that is a spiritual problem with adults that is passed down and manifested physically in our children. What do you think?

What knowledge can priests pass to engaged couples if they are celibate?

We thought this was confusing, but went ahead anyways and got married in the Catholic Church.

Later, years later after much disillusionment, we found Christ and found out what we were suppose to be taught:

Gen 2:18
Gen 2:24
Pro 10:12
Pro 18:22
1 Cor 7:2-4
Eph 5:21-33
Heb 13:4
Ecc 9:9
1 Tim 4:1-5

Our current Pastor has preached and been married for over 30 years. His marriage retreats are taught by pastors and pastor's wives. This makes more sense, doesn't it?

I guess I'm not talking about black people because we don't know what the first race was. But why are they black, and why are we white, and so on?
