By presuming the journalist with 'short hair' was a lesbian is maybe not the biggest crime. But surely the comment was intended as an insult, as Jodie was uncomfortable with the questions she was asking. What is Jodie Marsh implying? That a lesbian doesn't have the right to question her motives for the reality show? Because it's about marriage? That she's jealous, or can't get a man? Or is the media making a big deal of it. I personally find it unacceptable, but I'd like to hear your thoughts.

I personaly hate it. Living in a rapidly growing area in the US, I find so much beautiful land gobbled up by developers. Across what was once a farmland that gave us food is now rows and rows of houses that all look alike, and only those making great money can live there. Developers will stop at nothing to get the land they want, forcing families who have lived on a piece of land for generations to sell, only to see it turn into another Wal-mart strip mall.
So what are some of your opinions on suburban sprawl?

I have no clear definition on scientology and have tried many texts to understand. According to rumour they reckon the earth is run by aliens but i have no evidence for this. I worry that the recent attack on this religous group is alienating another group and instead of the open society we should be creating.
(the tom cruise film in germany, panorama and Hardeep singh Koli did an documentary on this subject, all have negative spin on this religion)

For me..it is not..flights can be the factor if one wants to get reacquainted. Happy for the call, but one tear fell for I was hoping to take that one step. Sojack made a difference in my life that one summer.So much to give.

Then why did Jesus cry out in Mat 27:46 why had thou forsaken me?

(Matthew 27:46) And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

According to Coptic grammarian Bently Layton, the literal Coptic translation is "and the Word was a god." (page 7, "Coptic in 20 Lessons," 2007) "And the Word was divine " is also possible. (page 34)

The 2nd/ 3rd century Coptic does not support the traditional reading, "the Word was God." Nor does the reading of several other English versions, which have "Divine" or stress the quality of the Logos here (godly, godlike) rather than his identity.

The Coptic version is not a Gnostic work. It is an ancient translation of the canonical New Testament into Coptic (Egyptian) by orthodox Egyptian Christians, on a par with the Latin Vulgate and Syriac versions.

Email from the owner of where I work:

**I would like to begin a monthly chapel service to be held the first Monday of each month in the classroom downstairs. This will be held before work - 8am - and will be completely voluntary. All employees will be welcome. The meeting will begin at 8 and end at 8:20. We will have a guest speaker ( a pastor or someone from Christian par-church circles) to talk about living the Christian life in our work. We will also have a time to pray for employees/ clients/family concerns as they come up. We can even offer a place for folks to submit prayer requests to be prayed for at the meeting.

I would like to hear your thoughts on this - objections, concerns or whatever. I do not want to start something that will be a problem or controversial but have a time that can help us all grow as servants of the Living God. Please e-mail me your thoughts. **

I'm an atheist (the only non-christian) and this makes me uncomfortable. What should I say?

Does Israel have to be restored to the borders of the original homeland designated in the Bible, or if peace came and all the prophecies were fulfilled, would it be still accepted if Israel had to give back much parts of the land occupied even until now?

I have no religion and I am being an agnostic so far for 22years.

I wouldn't say that God exists or doesn't exist as i have no proof nor clue on what i am talking about.

I am open minded to believe in anything if it makes any sense to me.
Which Religion would you recommend and why?
