Straight forward question, I think we all know the answer to this anyway, but I thought I'd ask.

Like ChristmastotheMax@yahoogroups.com or 365DaysofChristmas@yahoogroups. These are just two that I found while searching yahoo but there are probably others.

Forgiveness is not an easy process, and if one says I forgive before he or she has worked through emotions to be able to let go of the events, freedom from thoughts about what was done is not obtained. So it is not real forgiveness.

But real forgiveness can free you from having to think about the person or people who caused the pain, even if they have been unrepentant and got away with what they did.

I would like to know what techniques others use to work through this. And in doing so, how do you avoid just numbing yourself emotionally? And how do you avoid using forgiveness as an excuse for not doing what you morally need to do, such as speaking out against the sort of abuse that was done, helping other victims,etc?

How about we round up all the bigots and trolls and such, and move them to Chernobyl? Then they can hate on everyone all they want... we can give them their own town, and then we can live in peace!!!

Hypothetically speaking, after death, if you find that there is a God after all and there is Hell and Heaven. what will be your answer to God?

How do you explain using Biblical text the variety of apearances of people. I have never seen anyone look both black and white and brown and yeallow, both blue eyed and brown eyed. Genesis came from the middle eastern Abrahamic traditions shared by Christianity, judaism and Islam. The people that wrote the Bible were essentially Arabic in appearance and would not have had light skined, black or blue eyed people amongst their tribes at the time the scriptures were written?

If you knew a business is employing illegal aliens thus putting legal aliens and U.S. citizens out of work would you boycott that business? Or, would you prefer to have the illegal alien employed and pay their portion of medical, educational, law enforcement and other social costs?

OK. I was sent to Baptist churches most of my life because "they drove the bus." Even so, my dad was reared a strict Catholic, my mom was Protestant. I am married with childrena dn have been going to a Disciples of Christ, Christian Church for the last 12 yrs. My minister is THE best! He and his wife treat our family like family and have expressed us as favorites, in confidence...just felt close to us. We,too. He is resigning because he feels the church isn't gaining enough members and wants the churcch to grow. I want to quit. I would like to convert. Other churches I have tried, Protestant...have been hypocritical, rude, money mongers, etc. My sister is Catholic and I love the things that they do for family. Any input from both sides??

Some say he's great for making everything. However, he made the mistake of creating free will, the devil, hell, and flawed people. His free will mistake meant that he had to resort to a plan B after the Garden of Eden. A perfect God wouldn't need a plan B, because plan A should be perfect.

Others say he's great for sending Jesus to die for sins. That is unnecessary. He could just understand human nature, define sins as what hurts other people, and not make anyone die or suffer for punishment.

I'm an atheist because I think theism is a man-made idea.

If you like my question and want to share your testimony why you are an atheist, star my question so it gets noticed by other people.

I'll give everyone who answers this question a thumbs up.

I've been looking for an old picture - it's a really hot muscular guy in a garage holding tires, he's greased up, etc. I think the pic was from the 80s and it was pretty famous. Anyone know a link that has it? I've been looking and can't find it. Thanks. - Love Jack

So, there are a few guys who like me, however, I am not single, and I have never talked to them. I don't know who these guys are, and we have never even said "hello". However, there are a few who are interested in me. I am not interested in because as I said, I am not available. However, my reaction to their advances by them trying to get to know me is to ignore them, or avoid them. Is this wrong to do? Now, I have never spoken to them and do not know them from Adam. I feel this is being rude, but, I feel this is the only way to be. If they do ask me out, I will tell them I am not available, but thank you, and I am very flattered. But, because we don't know each other, I am ignoring their advances and pretending to not see them. Now, I can tell they are feeling rejected and I feel bad, but, what else can I do? Do I owe them an explanation as to why I am not interested and not single? I feel I am doing the correct thing. What do you think?

My mother is the most extreme racist I know. She discriminates on everyone who is not white, and I cannot stand it. She wont even let me watch a movie on the living room t.v. if its a "N***** movie" (hope I didnt offend... but thats how bad it is). I wanted to go to the Pride Parade with my best guy friend (who is gay) and she freaked out on me.

I have different view points on people. I only have a problem with people who have a problem with me. I dont discriminate against color, race, gender, sexuality, etc, and she cant stand that about me.

What do I say to her? How can I help her see what the world is like here in 2007? In her defense, she grew up on the south side of Chicago and went to school during all the King Race Riots and the color divide was dangerous, because the both sides hated each other, not just one sided.

No silly answers please! :)

I'm asking because yesterday I went on a walk with a friend and her baby for nearly 2 hours and it was cold (it's winter here in Australia) but really invigorating!

Then today I went for a bike ride with my husband along a bike track near a creek (not much water in it, though. More like soggy grass!) and we saw a really cute donkey and 3 Shetland ponies on someone's property (in the middle of the suburbs!) and an old man came past on a bike and gave them carrots. It was so amazing. I think we all should get out into nature more often, because there are so many cool things to experience!

I know I sound like a hippy, but who's with me?

You meet a guy and he is all over you, so much so that people around you notice. we spend a day together and really get on well. We are from different countries and agree to keep in touch. I will be going back to his country in a few months time which he knows of. I email him, he replies and then i dont hear from him. I am confused by his behaviour. What do you guys think?

British Anthropologists Sir Arthur Keith in his book, The Antiquity of Man, described these and other like fossil man finds in detail and stated that they would have been readily accepted by scientists if it were not for the fact that these fossils, because of their locations in the strata, contradicted the accepted theory of evolution.

Examples: Calaveras, Castenedolo, and Olmo skulls.
