I posted a question "if you could help someone, would you?" and posted a link to someone's site who really needed help. Some pathetic piece of crap person on yahoo answers reported it as a violation and had it removed. Come on! People like that need to grow up and stop being so negative! Those are the miserable wretches that are nothing in this world except for a useless waste of space! That's what I get for trying to do good.

Try this...

If a person is perfectly "tolerant" then it would be impossible for them to recognize anything as "intolerant" since they would be able to tolerate anything including intolerance.

Beyond that, I think a truly "tolerant" person would be unable accept the concept of exclusive truth. 2+2 would no longer always equal 4 but it could be 7 or 13 or whatever anyone wanted. Personally I like five. 4+4=5 from now on in my mind so don't give me any crap if you don't like my personal views you intolerant bats !!!

I need sleep. Good night all !!!

My grandmother Evelyn is in the hospital right now. She had a heart attack I believe yesterday. According to my mom she is in ICU. And one of my older brothers said when he visited ehr she did not look good at all. And it is also a bit worrysome that she is 86 years old. What is more worrysome is that she is not a believer. So I ask if you can help me pray for God to take care of her, no matter the outcome, and most importantly that God will send someone to her in the hospital who will share the love of Christ, so that she can have eternal life. I would love to pray for her to heal and go back to her home, but I do not know if it is God's will. But most importantly I just want her to know the love Christ has for her. (She is old and set in her ways so the more prayer the better). Thank you and may God bless you.

I believe God gave humans the power of choice as a gift,
and therefore we humans have to the choice to sin. So if
the power of choice is a gift to humans then why do animals
also have the power of choice? I mean a dog can choose
whether he wants the cookie you hand him or not. So why did
God give animals the power of choice to animals? Why did
he create animals and not let them go to heaven? Or do
animals have no soul or spirit or are they simply too inferior to
go to heaven?

Do you think that someone who really WANTS to believe in God and Jesus, but does not, deserve the same "perks" as those who truly do believe? Since you can't change what you really believe, do you think that desire to believe is enough to fulfill your contract with God?

"Protestants tried beating Catholic teen to death: A mother has described how a sectarian gang beat her son with a golf club, broke his skull, then tied wire around his neck and dragged him along a road. Niall Ferrin, 15, suffered hearing and sight loss and underwent surgery following the attack at a north Belfast interface on Friday night."

1 Peter 3:18-20 (New King James Version)
18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us[a] to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, 19 by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, 20 who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited[b] in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=67&chapter=3&verse=18&end_verse=20&version=50&context=context

Did Jesus go preach to them in the past or in the spirit world? Why does this mean, "spirits in prison who formerly were disobedient"?
Did they obey at a later time? If they were already dead, wasn't it too late to obey? Is this just a metaphor? Any thoughts here?

Jesus (pbuh) prayed to God, as did his disciples, and all the other Prophets. Its seems to me that you are more infatuated with the Messenger than the message he came with (love and worship God).

And are they really tree-hugging hippies and tattooed bikers? And why do they want to kill all the atheists? I thought that was up to the LORD. They should let the LORD do it so he can get brownie points with Dad.

Seeing the news about these, it only confirmed why you see so many pittbulls and rotts in the ghetto, and why they're so viscious, but why is this considered "sporting"? You should see these wounded or dead dogs afterward, how can someone just turn their backs on such suffering?

What do you have to show that your version of god exists instead of someone elses? Let's pick one at random that is currently followed: Vishnu, a Hindu god.

What proof do you have that your god exists and theirs doesn't?

Faith? 'Cause they have that just as much as you.

The Bible? Well, the only parts that can be proven from it are the historical documentation aspects... not the theological aspects.

Miracles? Still gotta show that it's not Vishnu performing them.

Prophecy? Because those are so amibguous, open-ended, and subject to wild speculation that three different people will give you three different "fulfillments" of them.

So why do you think your god exists and none others? Do you think that, if you were born and raised in India in a Hindu family, yet were still told all about the biblical god... would you be a Christian?

Because nine times out of ten, your geographic region determines your lifelong religion. Doesn't this say something to you?

Both appear to hate the government. Both want blacks and white seperated. Both hate Jews. Both show up any time a person is killed by some one of the opposite race. Both claim a religion. Both hate members of their own race who associate with the other race. Is the reason they hate each other because they are both the same?

Why do people think it is so offensive to celebrate holidays like Christmas, Halloween, Easter....and not only that, but why are so many "Christians" against celebrating Christmas just as a birthday, and against celebrating ordinary birthdays as well?

Now, this is not an attack on Jehovas, because they're not the only Christians who believe it is against God to celebrate birthdays...

I haven't been part of Yahoo Answers very long, but I noticed that in the last week three questions regarding Wicca and worshipping the Goddess have been asked in the Mythology & Folklore category. Can't we reclaim our rightful place in the Religion & Spirituality category?
