I know it sounds stupid cuz its MY wedding but I dont want there to be tension. I used to work with this doctor from December 2005 to Juned 2006 and him and I did not get along. He is very arrogant but plays a very good part in front of others. In June of 2006 I was transferred to a different location to help out with the staff there but now I have been transferred back to my old location to run the show. I want to invite my coworkers cuz they are good people and I really like them. I just dont' want to invite the doctor. I just feel that he isn't the caliber of person I want around. Any suggestions?

My friends asked me a question and she needs more opinions on it. The questions was, if i place a breakup spell on lovers, with good intentions and good reasons, does karma still go in effect to me?

It's just Spaniard (from Spain.. white) mixed with something else like black or whatever. Are Hispanics really a race? The way I see it there are only 3 races. White, black and Asian. Anything else is just a mix of those.

My neighbor's kids are constatly kicking soccor balls into my yard. They have a net that faces my property. We are friendly with them but they want their kids to be soccer pros and we just want some peace. No doubt, if we install a fence, then soccer balls will be bouncing off it. Should we?

In Matthew 12 Jesus makes this statement:

31And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.

Since Jesus and the Holy Spirit are both sort of the same thing, (ie. both parts of the trinity), why would it be forgivable to blaspheme against Jesus but not forgivable to blaspheme against the Holy Spirit?

In fact, even if they weren't the same thing, why would this be the case? Is there something special about the Holy Spirit that we don't know about?

Or because they profess to know the truth, do they just believe what their parents taught them and never research further.

One more before I head off to bed..

When a man cares he is unafraid.
When he is fair, he leaves enough for others.
When he is humble, he can grow. --Lao-Tzu

I look forward to reading your thoughts on this tomorrow. Have a lovely night!

Do you think it's odd how some Christians feel like mentioning Hell when they find out that you are an atheist?

I know not all Christians are like this, but they would never do that if you were a Hindu, a Muslim, or a Jew. According to what alot of Christians believe you will go to Hell forever if you are not a Christian, yet they would never warn someone about Hell if you were a Hindu or a Muslim. It's like there is a double standard for how some people treat atheists.

This actually happened to my sister and I know that the lady that mentioned this was only doing it in an effort to help her, but I can't help but be struck at how this wasn't because she wasn't a Christian per se, it was specifically because she didn't believe in any type of a god.

That yet the U.S. Constitution does not mention a creator or God, but over 45 States, Guam, and Puerto Rico's Constitutions do in fact mention a creator?

More than half using God or Almighty God?

http://www.usconstitution.net/states_god.html

You have to remember from history class that while the U.S. constitution was written without any mention of a creator people didn't really care for a National Government, Most where only concerned with "States Rights" thats why states had their own currency and didn't uphold other states laws at the birth of our nation.

Any thought to why almost every state and territory besides (I believe) America Samoa and West Virginia mentions a creator or a God?

How can one wave that countries flag if it was a horrible country?
How can you hang onto a culture that didn't yield well-being?
Can you be proud of a country that sucked, so you left?
If I left my country, I'd treat it like an ex-girlfriend (only visiting every 4 years or so and never talking about it!)

After checking my profile I found a bunch of people blocked, I know that I blocked the WSIDR but I only remember blocking one other person that seemed to be a troll.
AS for all the rest, I guess I have to be a man and claim responsibility, even though it was really negligence.
I have this brother Jim, who is perpetually looking for a job, (or a bottle) and I allowed hin to use my computor. Anyway, yoi people are smart, you can figure out the rest. The thing is, JIm isn't stupid! He was the smartest kid in the class. He just got mixed up with the wrong crowd, and he's having trouble seeing that he has to severe ties with those people who do not care about his future.
Any suggestions on how to deal with him?
I don't give him money, are a place to "crash", just let him use the phone somtimes, (anmd apparently he jumps on the computor).

A good part of today's wars are religious-inspired.

Would there logically be less war if religion was never a factor or motive?
Would 9/11 have happened?
Would there be any war at all in the Middle East?

Mind you I said LESS. I didn't say NO war.
