My friend repeats herself alot. She tells me things she told me many times before. She also thinks she knows better. She comments on my clothes when she has no taste at all! I really want to shut her up but don't know how to let her know without sounding rude. She is getting on my nerves!

I got on the bus today and the driver was cleaning his teeth! 10 minutes later when I got off the bus he still had the toothbrush dangling from his mouth.

I think this is pretty strange behavior but if you've had any experiences that you think rival mine I'd love to hear about it! :)

In Spanish the embarazado means pregnant and the Portuguese embaraçar means to obstruct. How are these related?

Are they that bad or is the government pushing this to the extreme to justify the high sales tax on an addictive product. Would you call the government a drug dealer?

Reality: Everyone including atheists know the Christian god, God is real. We know he is real since we call him God with a capital "G" -- that proves it right there. The more than 2,500 accounted for "gods" are all made up to attempt to draw Christians away from the one True god, God. All these non-Christians hate Christians, as well as God.

I am an Evangelical but currently do not attend any local church regularly. What is better: Baptist, etc?

What if every church were permanently converted into homeless shelters?

What if every religion had to liquidate its assets, land, jewerly, from the golden buddhas to the pope's hat? What if that money were spent on economic development in the third world?

What if people got together every sunday to collect money for schools and pick up litter?

What if the time spent praying was spent saying something nice to a stranger?

What if religious hatred disappeared forever?

What if terrorists suddenly realized that being a "martyr" didn't get you into paradise.

What if people stopped looking for answers in one old book and wrote a thousand new ones?

What if?

I have Severe Canal Stenosis, Also a Herniated disk in the back of my neck. Dr’s want to do surgery replacing some washer type thingys and put in a metal plate in. It will not cure the Stenosis. They said the only thing it will do is, it might help in case I fall or get hit by a car from the rear to keep me from going paralyzed from neck down or dying. I was supposed to have surgery on June 8th but I cancelled.
I am a Christian and I believe God will heal me. He did, He can, and I believe He will! However everyone I talk to says I should have the surgery that God uses Dr.s too. When I read the Bible… I read in James to not waver in my faith. James 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. NOTHING WAVERING!!!I ...

Take any other old document, and you will have teams of scientists deciphering it and decoding it's relevance to the society during the time in which it was written.

But not the Bible apparently. We are to take it's modern revised form as Gospel (pardon my pun). How foolish can people be?

The Bible was written from an ancient Hebrew prespective by various individuals of duboius scholarship.

"Divinely inspired"? Puh-leeze! Get a grip. Some really old Jews wrote some cool stuff, let's not get worked up over it, ok?

If it is such an important place, why was it not mentioned in ANY "inspired" scripture except the Quran? Do Islamic scholars insist it is because there is some kind of anti-Mohammadean cover-up conspiracy?

What a shame if it is true that Abraham DID cross 1000 km of desert to build a holy altar with his son Ishmael, and then Arabs turned it into a shopping mall for idolatry.

The only mention of Abraham's presence deep in the Arabian desert came more than 2000 years after Abraham even lived...in a book containing the recorded words of an Arabic salesman who married a rich widow who had Arabic "Christian" relatives.

Even the Qur'an says that it is a BOOK (before it was composed as a book) which is given in Arabic, so that Arabs can understand God's word.

Does it seem improbable that the story of Abraham building the Kabba might be concocted to shift attention away from Israel and bring it closer to the story teller's home in a way that his people would easily accept?

I have heard that there are places where if you go to the park, there are just couples all over the place "doing it".

Is this true? If so, where are they? Is it legal there, or are the police just turning a blind eye to it?

Have you ever been there and done that and there were a bunch of other people around doing it too? Was it weird or awkward?

I believe in God just not the bible. I think people get caught up in the idea that if you believe in god you must believe in the bible and Jesus.
