Hypothetical Question -

Tomorrow we wake up to find that terrorist have detenated nukes all around the world. World Governments have decided to merge and appoint a leader who immediatly installs a plan that all mankind take some sort of mark on their hand or forhead which shows their alligence to him and the new world government system and also allows people to buy and sell. Due to the chaotic state of the world, failure to take the "mark" would result in the death sentence. On top of all this, the Christian Church taught "pre-tribulation rapture" has not taken place.

Seriously, what now? Answers open to those of all beliefs and those with no beliefs. I put that last part in for the Christians.

It is getting outrageous in here. Across the board, there are wonderful people and some complete jerks. Surprisingly, most of the worst, most personal insults come from those who supposedly follow the "golden rule". According to the Biblical rules, isn't judging, lying, and pushing people away from your beliefs a "sin"?

I'm doing this entry form contest and the rules says "There is a limit of one Official Entry Form per person, per household, per day. If more than one entry per day is submitted, all entries from that person for that day will be disqualified." Does this mean that two people with the same address can apply the same day or does it mean that one address can only be submitted once a day. In other words, does the address or does person's name have to change? Thank you

I got invited to a barba-Q yesterday and it turned into an all nighter. So I didnt make it back to town to get to church. If I hire someone to go for me I can sign up for online bill pay and forget about it and always be represented on Sunday mourning. What do you think?

it seems logical
seeing that most Americans are Christians you can only assume that you the jury will also have mostly Christians members
if people get out of it by claiming temporary insanity and some have gotten out by claiming they were sleepwalking and even more outrages due to a massive quantity of sugar they consumed which he claimed drove him crazy

Today's world seems to be very skeptical, especially in issues regarding religion. If Jesus were to come again, would he still be belived in or thought as an imposter? How could he prove his divinity? Surely many would think of his miracles as special effects. What do you think? Would you believe?

My boyfriend is letting his cousin's 12 years old daughter staying with us for two weeks while his cousins go to visit a relative. I'm fine with this, she's really nice, a fun, and good kid. So I have no problem with this at all.

But yesterday I was really sick so I was in the bed for most of the day. At one point I got sick of staying in the bedroom most of the day. So I got up and walk out of the bedroom and my boyfriend and his cousin was sitting on couch watching movie. He saw me coming so he stand up and come to me and hug me then ask what is wrong. I just told him I want to get out of the bed room for a bit. So he lift me and carry me to the couch and wrap blanket around me then sit down and cradle me. Since I wasn't feeing well, I didn't really feel like talking so I let him do it.

He normally do thing like this, so it's not a big deal. But his cousin was there so I feel kinda embarrassed about it. How do I gently let my bf know about this?

I'm having trouble figuring out what to do here...

If you were in a choice to come out for a funeral or visit one last time to see your parent while they are alive (mom may not survive). Which would you do?

A second trip is out of the question financially and I cannot stay indefinitely.

I work with a lot of Mormons and feel so bad for them. I have a heavy heart for them because I know what it can be like to be confused. I caught my brother reading the Book of Mormon during one of his low self esteem episodes where he fell into the attraction of being a god himself. But Jesus called Robert home and he is going back to church and was recently married at Christ Church Episcopal.

But what can we do to help Mormons know Christ? They don't believe that Jesus is God. They are like the Muslims, as they think He was just a prophet. They even think that they are going to be gods. I sure would like to help them find the truth amidst their confusion in the desert.

I think Racism is VERY stupid and racist people will NEVER have their way. Most racist people are white and the racist ones always make bad points about black people, hispanics and asians. Its a shame that people are like this. I have friends of every race and culture. I dont mind where they came from at all. But i get most upset when I hear white people talk about blacks. About how they should go back to Africa. Are you kidding me? Most black people don't even have direct desendant to people in Africa, some blacks are people from latin america or the carribean. Also it bothers me that whites don't accept mixed children/people. Why not? Dont you always hear whites say that they are mixed with irish,german etc. So what's the problem with a black and spanish or black and white baby? They make fun of asians also. I always hear that they hate their chinky eyes. But I think it's beautiful. Mexicans should be able to come to this country too!

in declaring that only Catholics can go to heaven. I also believe that the Catholic Church in Rome should help pay for the millions of dollars in settlements as the result of the sexually related lawsuits against its priests and bishops. Afterall the pope is the CEO of the church and should be responsible for the conduct of its priests.
