Are there any suggestions for methods to raise money to purchase care packages to send to soldiers in Iraq for my Eagle Scout Project?
So far I've come up with a 50-50 raffle (where half of your money goes to the cause and half goes to the pot for the raffle).
Selling popcorn at the local park where they sell movies.
Car washes.
Painting curbs.

Any other ideas?

I know I can say that Im not trying to insult anyone or start any angered uproars but I guess they cant be avoided in this forum. So since Im truly wondering....ill ask anyway....

According to Christian doctrines, we are sinners the day we are born. But in the womb we are pure and free of sin. That implies a distinction between fetus and baby. In abortion arguments, it often comes down to the question of where life begins. So why is the distinction in the theory of Original Sin not the same as the distinction of where life begins?

Before I continue, I would like to ask you to please take this question seriously. A few minutes ago my friend called me and was asking me if i knew what this meant. She said "I can see through objects, I have to focus though. But do you know what this means?". And i've never heard of anyone having this ability before. She called me because she knew that I would listen to her, and because we're both indigo children. I have a few weird gifts of my own also. But people don't believe that we can do these things because we are just 13 year olds. I'm kindof the leader of a little group of indigo and crystal children and we teach eachother what we know. So they come to me for advice and I don't always have the answers for them. If you have ever heard of this "X-ray vision" gift than please post a link with info about it, so I can show it to my friend. Thanks,
~Dakotah

As I Chistian I am so confused why someone would call themselfs a Christian, but they have no clue what a Christian is.... They might believe in a god, but they do not believe in God, or his son Jesus Christ.... This frustrates me so much... I am sick of nonbelievers giving Christians a bad reputation!!!! If you are a Christian ACT LIKE IT!!!! And if you are not saved, stop saying you are!!!!!!!

There was a statue of Jesus made in one of the visitor centers in Utah. It is said that his arms were made to be praising God, but they slowily started to move down until they look like they hang to his waist (as if to welcome his sheep or the lost).

This has to be a joke that some one made up speculating the "truth" behind scientology. No man in their right mind could belive an evil space lord froze alien creatures and placed them on earth and we are all vessels carrying the souls of said creatures. If scientologists really belive that I want to stand up and proudly state that you are the most brain washed idiots this country has yet to see and you really should seek professional help.

I mean, isn't that basically mixing nationalism with religion, which is what we see as such a danger in places like the Middle East?

A male coworker of mine (whom I thought to be a good guy and still condsider to be a good guy) were talking (what about I can't recall). His response to something I said about "good guys" was, "There's no such thing".
I've had a female coworker tell me the same thing. Her brothers and husband used to tell her that you can't be nice to a man. But so far I have chosen to stay a romantic buffoon and believe that there is such a thing and that I should continue to wait it out, if you will.
My question is, if there's no such thing as a good guy then why bother being a good girl? Why bother waiting, why just not start having crazy, mad, wild fun? I want to hear from laides and gents alike.
Thanks.

ok you guessed it im a christian, and i have quite a few friends who are some form of a vegetarian. so i really am thinking about it, but is it wrong for christians to be vegetarians, because with my parents that would be a thin line to walk.

but i am really thinking about becoming one because i didn't relize how bad it was for us to eat meat.

but that is my question is it a sin to be a vegetarian, like saying it is in the bible?

I didn´t know anything about jainism when I had a dream that I was walking through a temple made in marble (that white and blue stone). My body was of a 7 year old child, with a blue flame surrounding it. Then I found a big flame (without a "person" inside it). I talked to her. She was breathing and when she did it, I felt a lot of love (and brieth at the same time of the flame). The flame talked to me in a sound that remembered the sound of many violins. The color was almost white, but with many colored points.

The strange thing was that there was statues of a naked man as the columns of this temple (that I thought it was Buda). I was very interested in that dream, because it was very real.
So I made a research on Internet and recognized it as a jainist temple. I was always interested in Mahatma Gandhi and I was born in the same day, but I didn´t know that he was jainist.

I have light off white carpeting. And if my step daughter is out playing with bare feet I think she should wash them. They get black. She will even go to bed like this, she is 14

I've heard the argument that the European immigration, that occured in the late 1800s, early 1900s, didn't negatively impact American culture so our current hispanic immigration issue won't either. Here's my question: Do you think this is true? Why or why not?

The same ones who claim to be under a 'New Covenant', and "saved by Grace through faith" will repeatedly turn back to Old Testament laws and stories when arguing about sins. Paul himself did this. What's the deal? OT, NT, or both?
