at the pamphlet right now. LOL I wanted to laugh so bad, but I kept composed and respectful. But, I'm disappointed with the picture of jesus on this. He has very short hair, it's weird. I don't know about you, but preferr the long haired hippie jesus. How about you?

LOL, P.S. Why are JW's coming to businesses now? I thought it was pretty annoying when they walked up to me while I was pumping gas a month ago. But, good grief I have to see them at work too!

The majority of mosques worldwide are certain to have some weaponery. Naturally its all for "self defense". However, most countries have statutes regulating firearms and places that can store or sell firearms.

The accumulation of weapons in a mosque is so common, it doesnt seem to make sense to call them "places of worship" but instead, either close them down or regulate them the same way you would regulate any militia or weapon silo.

For our annual Christmas Party, we will be playing a variation on the game "Family Feud." As you may know, this game requires people to guess at that the results of various public survey's. We thought it might be a good idea to post some of those survey questions here, and see what kind of results we get. So please feel free to respond with a single answer choice; all earnest answers are greatly appreciated.

Today's question is "What is your favorite (please pick only one) Christmas Carol?"

Thanks!

If God only lets 144,000 (or whatever the number is) into his kingdom, why do they work so hard at recruiting new members. That just decreases their own chances of making it in before its at capacity.

When I look down at a new born baby, I don't think, "What a wretched little sinner. Look how evil he is. He deserves eternal punishment in hell..."

No one is perfect, but is that so wrong? Why can't we just try to be pretty good?

At least 2 basic concepts of god worship (having lots of babies, hatred of outsiders) seem designed to pass down genetic material. Could this be evolution at work?

Almost everyone knows I'm a Shiat Muslim... so no one should assume that any of my answers regarding Islam is out of the Shiat teachings...

SO... how come sometimes when I quote someone important to Shiasm (like Imam Ali a.s. or Imam Sadiq a.s.)... without mentioning their name or their book... I get tons of thumbs up and their sayings are very valid...
BUT... when I mention their books (e.g. Imam Ali's a.s. or Imam Sadjad's a.s.)... suddenly their teachings become false and the thumbs down keep pouring in?

Is this normal? She wears the same outfit 5 days a week to the office at 4 months at a stretch. She claims to wash, though the proof is in the odor that follows her around. I don't get it because she is always claiming to have money here and there, etc. Is this common outside the US?

This is mostly for the Christians, and I am a Christian, who strongly oppose homosexuality. I have read it many times on here that homosexuality is a sin as listed in Leviticus and Romans. Do we also forget that divorce is a sin. I am divorced and I am remarried now and my former spouse is still alive, am I going to hell as well? Do you think it is simply easier to go about screaming abominations to those who are gay because you aren't gay? Do you also fight for laws to ban divorce? And, I am not saying homosexuality is right or wrong. . .there are many things listed in the Bible as sin but it seems there are a few that are easier to scream about because we do not deal with it in our own personal lives. And, do you really think that Jesus would stand in a picket line? How would Jesus respond to homosexuals or divorced people such as myself?

Since Jesus and his disciples were practicing Jews, they would have followed the kashruth laws. At some point, this practice was set aside. When was that, and what was the divine inspiration that allowed people to excuse this?

I saw a guy hitting his DOG in the park yesterday if it was a KID he could be ARRESTED because he hit it hard!

Now CHRISTIANS how do YOU treat animals? They're part of GOD'S CREATIONS and you think we were given DOMINION over them but even if we do eat them does that justify treating them so HORRIBLY?

A lesbian coworker brought a copy of one of Alison Bechdel's comic books to work yesterday, and I'm hooked! I'm straight, but I still think it's better than most soap operas.

James 5:16

2007-07-10 02:56:23 · 11 answers · asked by bethybug 5 in Religion & Spirituality

I think a couple should agree on four basic things before getting married or otherwise deepening their level of commitment:

1. Kids (Have 'em? Want 'em? If so, how many?)
2. Pets (dogs, cats, exotics, number)
3. Onions and garlic (pro or con, there needs to be agreement at dinner.)
4. Smoking (For about the same reasons as onions and garlic, but there are also health issues.)

I think that a couple that disagrees on these things is in trouble. Others may disagree, or have their own beliefs on what a couple should agree on.

What do you think?

It has been 25 years seeing my brother in law criticizing everyone except his wife (his wife is exactly like him) and children. He is very successful moneywise, but he has no manners at all. I have a college diploma and could not get a job, he would say in front of the whole world, "look at her, she has wasted her money going college for nothing". Anything I buy, he would say, "look at her, she is wasting her money". He talks about others in a same manner and would insult others. He always think, he is right, everyone is wrong.If anyone makes mistake, he would say, "I knew it, it would happen", or he would say, " see I told you". If he gives any favour to anyone, he would tell to the whole world. If he gives you a gift, he would tell you the price he paid.
Is there anyway to stop him?
