Women are strange sometimes, aren't we?... We say we'd leave her if she ever cheated on you but they say something slick or apoligize and here we come crawling back... If that's not the case, then what was it that made you leave for good after she cheated (or vice versa... if you cheated, what made her leave). When is it really over?

THE WIDOW



Her husband had passed on and the new widow was so distraught that she sought out a spiritualist who told her that her husband was just fine. She added further that he was eagerly awaiting a reunion with her.

"Is there anything he needs?" the distraught woman asked, between tears.

The spiritualist went into a transient state, then replied, "He says he'd love a package of cigarettes."

"I'll send a carton immediately." the woman said joyfully. "But did he say where I should send them?"

"No," replied the Seer somberly. "But he didn't ask for matches."

Jesus is real and our true living God! Jesus is the only way to heaven. He loves us all and He saves. No sins will enter heaven. Jesus forgives us of our sins if you accept Him and live for Him!! All sins and all evil will only end up in hell. praying for the lost souls. Jesus does love you.

Christians are limited in what they can do or say in Polictics, Education and on moral issues. We are told, separation of Church and State. But yet the Constitution does not say separation of church and state. It only limits the government on this issue. But if think about it, (ie. Evolution is a type of religion (faith in science)) nothing would be taught, you would not have a policital system, you wouldn't even have the right to choose what morals you want to follow. It all revolves around faith. Faith in what, God Almighty, self, science or what

I hear that sometimes people get 'black listed'. What is this all about. Has anyone ever had a bad experience leaving a church because your views changed? Just curious.

`You will hardly find one among the profounder sort of scientific minds without a religious feeling of his own... His religious feeling takes the form of rapturous amazement at the harmony of natural law, which reveals an intelligence of such superiority that compared with it, all the scientific thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection. This feeling is the guiding principle of his life and work, in so far as he succeeds in keeping himself from the shackles of selfish desire. It is beyond question closely akin to that which has possessed the religious geniuses of all ages.'

I am a male, I'm gay and I have a friend James, who i have been sexual with for a year. He has a gf and has been out as bisexual for the past 9 months. We've had sex, made out, cuddled, and done other sexual acts. However,about a month ago, he came out and said he was gay. A couple weeks before he said he was gay, he kept talking about a kid his age that he knew for a fact was gay and wasnt ready to come out and that he had been the only person this kid had come out to. I suspected that this "kid" he was talking about had to be himself. He also kept asking me stuff like "what if i was gay?" over again. I already suspected he was gay cuz he loves the color hot pink, his favorite movie of all time is brokeback mountain, as well as mean girls, he likes getting his nails done and eyebrows waxed (his gf calls him for fashion advice) Plus girl on girl action grosses him out. A week after he came out, he said he was joking. That he is still bi and the gay kid was me!? Is my friend gay or bi?

Ive always wondered why blacks in America are so feverently Christian, when the religion was used to enslave them, and was later used to justify their enslavement...

Recently, it dawned on me that The Church has probably been the only solid social institution that hasnt turned its back on Blacks throughout the history of the United States - it has been there for them through the periods of slavery, segregation, Jim Crow laws and racism that is still prevalent.

IS THIS WHY many blacks in America today are so religious?

If your knowledgeable and open minded then you would not claim God doesn't exist or call it mythology when it hasn't been proven false. Belief in God isn't the same as belief in myth or superstition or the Bible. I mean God as creator of everything. I have studied biology as well as physics. I see it as possible God created everything. This includes history which is cause and effect. God gave us the illusion of a free will and the concept of heaven and hell, religion and morality to steer our behavior. Just think what the world would be like if everyone believed in cause and effect. There would be no progress. Everyone would just do what they needed to survive and would not feel responsible for their actions. People would even giveup on living. God, right now, is the only explanation. When you have nothing else, the only explanation no matter how crazy, is the most possible. I think not believing in God is very close minded, but maybe God just made you that way.

Two days ago, I was sitting outside and I saw a group of teens smoking. Among the group was an approximately nine year old boy having a smoke also. That was probably one of the saddest things I've ever saw. I know that kid did such because of stupid peer pressure, but still, why do it? Have any of you ever witnessed something related to this (or been a part of it)? I want your thoughts.

(Of course there are exceptions to every rule, so I'm not looking to hear from the exceptions per se).

Fierce invectives against women form a conspicuous and grotesque portion of the writings of the Church fathers.
— W. E. H. Lecky

Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord
— Ephesians 5:22

Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and ill-tempered wife
— Proverbs 21; 19

A quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping on a rainy day, restraining her is like restraining the wind or grasping oil with the hand.
— Proverbs 27; 15/16

A normal feminine influence in recasting our religious assumptions will do more than any other one thing to improve the world.

I hate all these places that ask for tips when all they do is stand behind the counter and punch numbers on a register! Coffee shops, Juice bars, delis, etc. There's virtually no service at all.

Recently Showtime aired a documentary called Reversal of Fortune, in which filmmakers followed a homeless man who thought the documentary was about life on the streets. Without his knowledge they planted a suitcase with $100,000 for him to find with a note: "What would you do with $100,000?"

He started off going back to his hometown to rent an apartment, bought a truck, and splurged, splurged, splurged. When the producers realized how fast he was going through his money, they sent a financial advisor to meet with him and discuss his situation. He refused any help and believed that all the adviser wanted was a chunk of his money.

Within 8 months he had spent all of the $100,000 and went back to living on the streets.

What would you do if you were in his situation? Try to think realistically rather than idealistically because I'm sure if he were asked the same question, he would give a different answer than what he really did with it.
