Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus, just to name a very few of the many men in the bible who can be described as "strong, dynamic, independant, decision-making".

Can you name four comparable women from the Bible? Four women whose lives and deeds are as chronicled, and as important, in the Bible as these four men?

Just a month ago, I bought a Legend of Zelda game for the Wii from this guy on Ebay. Later, I found it didn't work at a certain part and returned it. Before returning it, the guy said that he would reimburse me for the shipping charges ("[if] you want return shipping and [include] the price we will reimburse you for it."). When I went to return it, I had to pay for both the shipping package and the shipping costs which amounted to $13.98. I told him this and yet later he only reimbursed me for $4.00, presumably what he thought was the price of the shipping only. Should he reimburse me for the remainder of the cost or was it my fault to not package it myself?

I received a baby shower invitation, but cannot attend. The shower is for my cousin and We are close, practically sisters. The shower is being held in her home state, which is across the country from where I live (WA State to FL state), So, I will not be able to attend.
I do want to get a gift, if not lots of gifts for her and the baby. I am confused about what to do. I was going to send the gifts directly to her home, but now I am wondering If etiquette says I should send them to the baby shower location? If I send the gifts directly to her home, should I send a card or something else to the baby shower location to acknowldege the fact that I received the invitation but could not attend? When do I send the gifts? Will it be ok to send them after the shower, or should I send them before the shower so that she will have them for the shower... I'm all confused! Any advise or input?

Please list the true ones in one column, and the false ones in another column.
By "religions" I mean both religions and denominations.

And please --
No church mumbo-jumbo; this isn't an essay exam.

I work in a cabinet shop and my boss seems to be mad at only me and me being the youngest in the shop (32) seems to be a good reason for him to curse at me when I make a mistake. The other day I dropped of some material at a job site and put it where I was told by my immediate supervisor and when I got back to the shop my boss called and started literally cursing me out ( were talkin full blown four Letter words) when I tried to explain to him he said he didnt want to hear it which upset me cause it didnt seem fair that he could curse at me like that without me being able to defend myself or at least give an explanation, then he got in my face pointed his finger and said F%#K You so Isaid it back we cursed at each other I told him I was leaving and he said I didnt have to if I wanted to work I could he wasnt gonna fire me so I stayed thinking it would be different but the next day it was the same thing He works 7 days a week 12 hours a day! my girl is pregnant and the rent is due!

By god shield, I mean, rather than try to reason out a response, they will completely ignore the subject of the question, and instead either...

1. Insult you and the fact that you are godless

2. Say "I don't care about that proof, I know Jesus is my savior" (or some other catchphrase they've heard their pastor mention)

3. Tell you they feel sorry for you

I may have left about 50 of them out, but they all amount to the same thing. You catch them in a lie, or in a paradox that disproves their religion, and they refuse to acknowledge it.

One would think that if their truth was so truthful, they would not have this difficulty. Why is it that non-believers can easily refute anything the believers say, and don't have to resort to this?

Well I'm part of the tutoring program at my Catholic school. Being a Catholic school, every thing we do at school, we have to come in our uniforms. Like for example, we do tutoring sessions after school and on Saturday from 10-2, and they make us wear our uniforms for this. I guess because we're at school. But now, the tutoring program is starting a new program, where we go to people's houses from 3-5 and 6-8. I though this would be kind of neat, so I said I'd give it a shot. Now the school tells us that we would have to come to the houses in our school uniforms. I thought to myself, why? We're not at school, and we asked if the students we tutor have to be in their uniforms, and they do not. That means on Saturday afternoon and Evening, we have to walk around town going to people's houses in our school uniforms for something we do in our own time to help others. Can they do this? Is this fair?

I am a very Christian person but sometimes I have these urges to look at porn. After I masterbate I feel horrible and wonder why I did it. I do not like people that look at porn often and I feel as if I am turning into a bad person. I need a hobby or something to take my mind off porn, any ideas? I want to change and get rid of this addition. PLEASE HELP.

My "Christian" sister-in-law once told me that my kids were bastards. I couldn't say a word, I was shocked and very angry. She noticed my discomfort and proceeded to explain that God says any children born to unwed parents are in his eyes bastards. Now I'd rather spit on her than look at her. I love my kid's, and yes their mother and I are still together, and I don't think anyone has the right to label them for the choices their parents made. I believe that everyone should have their own opinion, but use common sense when speaking. She does and says a lot of things that way. My brother and I get along great,and even he will step in and interrupt her when she's on one of her rants. I was raised Catholic, went to Catholic elementary school, went to church twice a week with school,and on Sundays with my grand-parents, I know I'm supposed to forgive her, but I find it hard to. I would hit any guy if he said the same thing.

I am looking for people that have experienced God in a personal relationship. Is there physical evidence of his existance? I don't mean some artifact under glass in the Vatican but something physical that the common man can see and touch.
