She chooses to ignore them and has me send them to her voice mail - I've told her to write them a letter and tell them to stop harrassing her, but I have to route these calls. I guess it shouldn't bother me because its not my problem, but I have to answer all these calls with inquiries to when she'll be at work, does she work there at all, etc. Plus its tying up my phone line! Help. Thanks.

I am not saying believing just to stop and consider that he may be real, besides him standing in front of you and saying here I am?

You know some people reject my love like no big deal,and I don't send them to hell and get to torment them over it,they get to go on with their lives,And I don't have too much of a problem with that,However if you reject God's love he seems to majorly over react,So the question I pose for you is tell me the difference between humanely love and God's love,and why is he so sensitive.I mean seriously,unless you happen to be sadistic,you wouldn't torment someone like an ex-lover for leaving you heartbroken,how can God justify this,I think it is inaccurate to say that God has only one emotion,being love,in the scripture it said God doesn't want other God's before him because he was a jealous God,I think it's safe to say God has a lust for power,ergo (followers on their knees),Greed (the offering plate aka tive),Pride,and apparently it's a sin for us to have it,so while he stands up (proudly) we are forced to kneel in adoration,It was said we were made in his likeness,and look at that,irony.

Pratt was killed by Hector McClean. Hector was still married to Eleanor when she became Pratt's 12th wife. (Blood of the Prophets)

To me this sounds like a husband trying to seek vengeance on a wife stealer- not like a man killing because he disliked Mormons.

There is a verse in the english translation of the Quran that has been mistranslated, as is the case with some other verses in the Quran. In Arabic, the word "daraba" used in Surah 4 is supposed to mean to separate, as in leave the home. This same word is used 5 other times in the Quran, and not once is it meant as physical harm. Need further proof? When the Prophet (PBUH) would become angry with his wives or they were not acting as Muslim women should, he never once harmed his wives. He would go to his own home for a month and leave them to think about what had happened. He did not threaten them, he did not say harsh words, he did not strike them. He did as that verse intructs. Furthermore, the Quran says men may not harm their wives and the Prophet (PBUH) spoke against men who beat women. What do you think of this fact? I know it happens, that can not be denied, but this happens everywhere. No matter the religion or country. How do you feel about this?

I live in the south, in NC, and once again, a white man with a handgun, yelling racial epithets, used his car to chase a black couple in their car. When arrested, the white man had Klan materials in his car. Now a neo-Nazi group is sending flyers to the "whites" in the area, supporting the white man and blaming nonwhites for "whites becoming poorer". You'll never guess the white man's occupation: he's a retired police officer of 23 years. When did this happen? June 8, 2007. I feel so safe, don't you? This is what I live with, I can't pretend racism doesn't exist, like some people.

How active are the Klan and neo-Nazi's near where you live? Why?

In my opinion the only group of people that have a right to complain are the First Nation People and they are not really complaning? In the beginning, First Nation People welcomed visitors with open arms. The trouble started when the visitors decided that they wanted to take over and destroy. And can you believe that they called First Nation People "savages!"

Should I repeat "Atheists are scumbags" 100 times or 1,000 to myself until it becomes embedded into my psyche?

Should I make nasty blanket statements about all atheists and then claim to be quite a reasonable, enlightened person?

Should I namecall and belittle and deride, all the while accusing them of and criticizing them for the same exact behavior?

Should I play victim and rail about the big bad nonbelievers while attempting to grind nonbelievers into the ground?

I have been raised in a Christian household, and I have this feeling that it is a sin to confront people. I don't want to hurt their feelings, but at the same time I don't want to hurt. Is it ok to confront people? Could you please tell me how to go along confronting someone when I want to be honest with them? Thank you.

I would like to hear of examples that people have experienced where Evangelicals or Fundementalists have twisted the bible to a ridiculas point.

It is very clear that the bible was intended to be interpreted in light of the Traditions that the early disciples passed down through the generations and other less authoritative texts.

Because Pastors interpret the bible based on their own experience and their "flock" do the same is that why there are 37,000 different protestant denominations out there all believing that they are the single peope who have interpreted the bible right.

When evangelicals say people should read the bible for themselves are they inviting them to create another disunified Church.

I am sure this isint what Jesus wanted. However I would really like to hear of examples where they have taken verses out of context and why you think they are in error in their interprertation.

Maybe it was the coffee!

So what? How did it happen, and if you tell me that it was natural selection, then tell me why nature is so selective. Is that just the way it is? Nature is some how so smart that it somehow developed the most basic life-form just by pure unbelievably dumb luck? Then it just started selecting what was good and what was bad? And where did the planet come from in the first place? Oh, it just happened to land in JUST the right spot exactly for life to form, after some sort of explosion or something? And where did you the universe come from? When I ask these questions, you say "evolution has nothing to do with origins, blah blah..."- yeah, exactly.

So stop trying to use it to assault people who believe in God. Evolution doesn't prove or disprove anything with regards to God or religion.

Even Darwin was a deist.

We were our favourite Indian Restaurant tonight & there were some Indians eating in there & they were having Poppadums as a 1st course.

I thought that it was just us English who had poppadums like this & that it was actually incorrect to have them like this.

Could someone clarify for me? Or perhaps there's not a correct way?
