I remember reading an article describing how americans are one of the most obese people of the world or something like that. Movies like Supersize Me have somewhat proved it but what do you think?

1) If someone told you werewolves exist, would you believe?
2) If you knew for sure could keep it secret?
3) If you couldn't would you become one?

2 kings 2:11 " And it came about that as they were walking along, speaking as they walked, why, look! a fiery war chariot and fiery horses, and they proceeded to make a separation between them both; and E·li´jah went ascending in the windstorm to the heavens. "

this was written about 8 years later.

2 chronics 21: 12 "Eventually there came a writing to him from E·li´jah the prophet, saying: “This is what Jehovah the God of David your forefather has said, ‘Due to the fact that you have not walked in the ways of Je·hosh´a·phat your father or in the ways of A´sa the king of Judah"

So did he wrote from heaven?

this was written about 8 years ago.

People from Spain/Portugal have completely different roots than people from South America and the Caribbean. So why are they all called Latinos/Latinas? Where did this term come from?

John the Baptist told Herod that he was living in Adultery with his brothers wife.
John the Baptist called the Pharisess a generation of Vipers.
And Jesus said that there was not a greater prophet than John the Baptist.

So what we we have done with John in todays world?

I believe that we are supposed to judge, Matthew 18:15-17.

How did all of the current living animals, 20 billion animals (10 billion species on earth x2 for mating), and all of the extinct ones (Dinosaurs, ???, etc.) fit on the ark? My cat, for example, is about 10 lbs in weight and about 18" long, 8" wide, and 10" tall, which is roughly 1440 cubic inches. I know there are larger and smaller animals, but if there were supposedly dinosaurs on the ark, I think using my cat as the average is a conservative estimate. So, not even accounting for "leg room" that would come out to be 200,000,000,000 pounds (100,000,000 tons) of weight and approx 2,400,000,000,000 cubic feet of space. Standing surface alone must be (using 18"x8" *20bil) 240,000,000,000 square feet, which is about 47,058,823.5 square miles, or 23% of the earths surface(196,935,000 square miles). This doesn't even approach logistics of feed and excrement. How could the ark story be possibly true? Why not simply interpret it as a metaphor? Thoughts? Comments?

Im 33, Seems like the only way out of my emotional turmoil would be to die. I am so depressed now after years of battling severe anxiety and panic attacks. I feel there are no more options, I want to just give up. I’ve been battling this for over 12 years now. I have been on Xanax for 12 years as well. Sometimes it takes the edge off, but that’s it.
I kinda got better for the last 4 years, I was able to travel short distances like 10-20 miles, but out of the blue, I started freaking again, for no reason. Now I can barely get out my front door again.
I feel I have nothing to offer, and nothing to give anyone. I’m pretty much useless, sitting here wondering why I was even born.I never got to get married, I never got to have kids because of this. My life has passed me by. I am so tired of these feelings. I never have not one day of peace, I am in a constant state of anxiety and panic, checking my feelings constantly, my God I can’t do anything. What’s the use in living, I have had enough!

…but when they talk of their own beliefs, they take the word believe out of the sentence? It becomes, “God made the world in 6 days,” where it should be, “We believe God made the world in 6 days,” because Hindu beliefs, for example, are just as legitimate as Christian beliefs.

The biblical concepts of sin and salvation are an integral part of Christian doctrine. Christianity first creates a problem (sin) and then offers a "solution" (salvation). This is not unlike the protection racket; you either buy protection - OR ELSE.

I have a neighbor, which the mom is always getting drunk and cursing at her husband. Our doors and walls are very thin and I would say about 4-5 times a week, she's out there cursing and yelling while being drunk. I have a 15 month old who's is subject to this kind of behavior and I'm not sure how to deal with it. One time another neighbor had to call the cops because she was up at 3am yelling, "I'll kill you bit**, I'll kill you!" Any serious answers greatly appreciated.

If you have seen questions of mine from a few mos. ago, I am deeply annoyed by this. Please tell me I'm not the only one who wants to tell them to stop. Especially when their at my house and all I hear is "Smack, Smack, Smack". Gross by any meaning of the word.

There's like about 3 or 4 old people over 50 where I work and they went out and bought those wide narrow rectangular tortoise shell color glasses.

I see them and I think, RETARDED OLD FARTS, LOOK OUT!
