When I getmarried, I am getting my grandmothers huge $45k ring. It is the most spectacular ring I've ever seen. I am also getting an engagement/ wedding ring to wear on my left hand. Can I wear my grandmothers on my right hand? Do I not wear it? Or should I just wear it on the left hand? I would be the second generation of the ring. No traditions yet :)

I keep hearing/reading about PNP in some of the chat rooms. When I ask what it means I'm ignored. That just adds to my curiosity.

Time for some make-nice. Take a minute to say something nice about another religion. Do not say something nice about another faction of YOUR OWN religion i.e baptists, pentecostals. Dont bash another religion (I never use the report button, but in this instance i will) It may be helpfull to state your own faith

I'll go first.
I'm Pagan- I admire the passion wit which Islamics approach their faith, and the way it's a part of everything they do

Seriously, go get a copy of the Bill of Rights. It does not say seperation of church and state, it says goverment may not respect an establishment of religion. Meaning church cannot be the goverment, churches cannot be tax free (which i believe some actually are).

It does not mean religion cannot be on public property. Seriously, does it really bother people THAT much?

I thought people were considerate to pregnant women. I'm 7 months pregnant and wore a tight shirt today, and while I was out running errands, people kept commenting on my pregnancy so obviously everyone can tell that I'm pregnant.

I just got back from Walgreens, where I had to wait 10 minutes to check out because some woman and the young cashier were rambling on and on about nothing while I had my money out and ready to go with my little 4 items and wondered why she couldn't ring me up real quick. The woman wasn't even buying anything, just asking questions.

I'm not saying pregnant women should get to skip lines or have special parking spaces, but it would have taken 2 seconds to ring me out and it is getting harder for me to move and stand around. I am always considerate to people even if they aren't elderly, pregnant or disabled. I'm so considerate that I didn't even interrupt their conversation and waited instead.

nb, this was before I was Christian. But I am wondering what would have been the correct way to respond had I been Christian back then.

When my ex husband of 7months marriage found out I was pregnant (he took risks too, I didn't trick him!) he gave me the choice between having an abortion or a divorce. I actually divorced him on the grounds of adultery, because he started seeing another woman less than a month after this, and I didn't want my children to know the real reason for the divorce.
Bearing in mind that to remarry (and one day I might) can be classified as adultery...
Bearing in mind that if I hadn't accepted the idea of divorce then I would have had to have killed my baby...

What is the correct way to deal with this situation as a Christian?

I met a smart and very beautiful girl who goes to a church near my house. While I was walking by, I saw her struggling moving some boxes from her car into the church and I helped her. Afterwards, we talked and exchanged numbers. But she told me she would only go on a date with me after I went to church with her and her family.

I really would like to date this girl, not just because she's good looking but also because she seems intelligent and we converse very easily. But I would feel like a real charlatan going to church, since I don't believe in God at all. Should I just go to church with her once so I'll have a shot with her?

What I don't understand is why the government is trying to take Christianity out of our schools? If America is founded on the beliefs of the Bible "Under God", not Yaweh or Allah, why is the government trying to remove Christian values out of the schools? I don't want to hear that Yaweh, Allah and God are all the same God b/c in the Torah and Koran the god seems to be evil, and full of hatred. America is slowly going down hill; soon this whole country will be believing in false religions. Its ashame that Islam is rapidly gaining more and more members, surpassing Christianity. Can someone please share with me their views and opinions on this subject.

I mean, If I were god I would use my magic god powers to smite the romans, build a church, and lead my followers to a kingdom of god.

But all he did was hang on a cross and get stabbed by a spear. Why would god do that?

Ok, I have a 10-yr acquaintance w/ someone ("friend" is too strong a word), and she's been in school the entire time I've known her. (She's over 40) I just got married in Feb, and we plan to move out of the country by year's end. Meanwhile, I'm paying off all of my student loans. I RSVP'd that I was unable to go to the graduation party that she threw for herself. Two days ago, she called me up asking me for money. I told her I didn't have any. She then said, "Well, I thought I'd call up the people who didn't buy me a graduation gift to see if they could just give me money instead." BOY, was I hot! I also decided she will get absolutely nothing from me just b/c of that phonecall. Am I being insensitive?
