I know it means "I" or "me" but that it has a slightly different meaning than "watashi."

...That it's always the ignorant, the weak minded, the unhappy, the troubled and the self loathing, who have the most hate for other groups of people?

While the more intelligent, happy, serene, enlightened, and at peace seem to have enough love in their hearts for everyone?

Why do you think that is?

I have my own ideas about this, but I want to hear what you all think. :)

I notice in the Bible it is a big sin to charge interest on money lent. Is there an international Judeo-Christian bank with online banking facilities that loans money without charging interest in order to remain sinless?

Why do people give other people's questions a thumbs down on YA, if they don't curse, or even say anything rude? Is it because they don't agree with their answer?

I'm sooo confused and need help. I don't know whether or not I believe in God. I believe a lot of science like evolution and stuff about the universe and astronomic stuff. Sometimes I believe that there could be God(s) because the universe is huge and complex. but i also believe that there is a scientific explanation for everything. but then i do believe in God because i wonder how the universe began and where that first atom came from. And parallel universes? how What confuses me a lot is....if energy cannot be created or destroyed than how did that one atom become duotrigintillions of atoms now? I'm soo confused.....my family is Hindu and all my friends are Christians. My best friend is a devoted Christian and i feel like if i talk to her she'll just try in turn me to Christianity and my family is no help. They have no time to explain anything to me. They will also get disappointed about this situation and try to turn me into a Hindu. What should I do and believe?

For Anglicans worldwide, this is by far the most talked about issue in the Church.

Today Canadian Anglicans voted against a motion to allow same sex blessings.

What do you think about this matter?

Should Anglicans bless same sex unions? Is it a matter of doctrine? Of scripture?

Many Churches in North America have a position on this matter that is overwhelmingly on one side. But Anglicans seem very closely divided on the subject.

Where do you stand? What should the Church do?

I just got a new job. I am a brides maid in my sister's wedding. I need three days off after the first week I start this new job. Is it wrong for me to ask my boss for the days off?

List who you think is the most attractive to least attractive in order, and for the one who think is the most attractive explain why, and for the one you think is the least attractive, explain why.

If you do, then maybe you can appreciate why many others don't accept yours. They are just as strong in their beliefs as you are. Including the Atheists and Agnostics. No one appreciates your beliefs that all must be converted.

Earlier, I asked this question: Why would an all-powerful being limit itself to the very flawed human body?

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AqnpyTvVOBjGTpqsrvHNy848.Bd.?qid=20070624180733AAtCj7w

I was told I got it backward.

So, let me ask it again, but with the appropriate phrasing of the original statement.

Per the Bible, God made man in His image. This is something I have never understood. If God is all powerful, why chose this form when there are so many other possibilities, especially those than transcend human comprehension?

Hopefully, I have it right now.

Thank you.

Only ten times more pompous? I can do a really good impression of Kennedy, by the way.

I read so many questions and answers and see so many people that claim to have Christ in their heart, but do not have love in thier heart. Why? Do they not know the Scriptures? Can they not put down their differences and see that God wants us to love the sinners as He loves the sinners?
