She is younger mom, pretty cool and currently is out of work. So she is home a lot, but because my brother and I don't have our liscences, she has to drive us around while my Dad isn't home. I love her a lot...but I don't have much time to go shopping in the next few days. I was hoping for a few ideas that I could do here at home, or something to come in the mail soon if I were to order something from on line. She is a huge scrapbooker, loves our pets and loves the state we live in...like the wildlife and view and stuff. So i was just hoping for a few ideas to get my brain thinking.
What you get your mom for her bithday?

If Jesus is son of god... or is god then why did he shed blood and die like any ordenairy person? Shouldn't he have stayed to help his people to be better Christians?

We will cal her ST she does a good job at her work but she is always negative and angry. She wants to be my friend and I just cannot handle people like that. She has been married 4 times (I wonder why?) She is a total *****, nobody likes being around her. Do I tell her in private...or just let it go?

"Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind."

-Albert Einstein

I don't really agree with him on this, but maybe the high school science geniuses will find a reason to moderate your 'people who believe in religion are stupid' pronouncements.

As an atheist looking in I am puzzled by Christians who berate Scientologists, my reasons: Well neither Christian follower nor Scientologist have actually seen any evidence with their own eyes of the deity they follow. Both rely on shapes made by ink on paper. with what proof/evidence do you believe your faith has been substansiated more than the other?

To me it looks like you're both doing exactly the same thing, just different publications

I saw this on the news last night and I don't understand why people are getting upset. Its a private college, a catholic college that obviously isn't going to have birth control lying around. The reporter accused him of supressed individual liberties. What? You don't like it, go to a public college! It's not different that any other relgious college! Maybe I missed something.

We live in a culture in which most people wouldn't lift a finger to stop genocide in Darfur, help feed a starving person, or adopt an orphaned child, but will act like rabid dogs for the chance to catch a stupid baseball, biting and kicking and tearing clothes and flesh.

These are the moments when I am not so proud of America. It seems that human nature favors what should be an almost worthless material possession over helping to ease the suffering of mankind.

Forgive the criticism, I am aware it seems like a cheap shot, but mob mentality, selfishness and egocentrism are not the hallmarks of a civilized society. I suppose that since such lowbrow behavior is so prevalent, it would be wrong to assume I might find more evolved behavior on Yahoo Answers. Instead, 90% of the questions and answers out here are insults, snipes, spam postings, double and triple postings, partisan attacks, and otherwise meaningless rhetoric.

A sad state of affairs for the human race.

I would tell you my testimony but you are to stubborn to hear anything not from your idol so let your idol speak truth to you that you might at last find love.

John 15:17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.

John 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.

Romans 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if [there be] any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Romans 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love [is] the fulfilling of the law.

i was raised with a family that each parent had a different religion. i get confused sometimes with those things. my question is

Why should God care if we worship him or not if we are nothing compared to him?isn't he more superior than humans? Why should he care so much if we insignificant humans worship him?

thank you in advance

I just got a lovely long letter explaining why I was a "stupid emo Christian *****" and then blasphemy up a freaking wall from this guy.He basically read my myspace which says I am a Christian and went from there.I haven't done anything to this guy(eh,he goes to my school),and hes going to confront me if he sees me.Lovely. I'm only dreading it because every word that proceeds from his mouth is a raping of the English language.I'll try not let my friends hurt him too much. (angry overprotective atheists ftw....)Wonderful way to start the day huh?
Eh,enough ranting.How has your day been?

Let me tell that if a man hits you can quickly put him through hell. Do not ever justify the reasons behind the violence.

A friend had that experience ONE time and dude was booked, lost his job and his life has been a downward spiral ever since.

Do you know your rights??

Hi JW's,
last night I posted a question. After my question went on the fritz...I could'nt add detail and just gave up and went to sleep very sad.
At the age of 18 I was inlove with another fellow brother from the English congregation. Months after we met he moved to Mexico to help an english congregation, we lost communication.
This was a long distance relationship as a result, this brother turned out to be a liar about many things.

He was very clever and very romantic but also a liar.

This was a very hard situation for me to get away from and ever since then I've been coping with feelings of lonliness and regret.
I've worked on moving on but out of the blue I have sad days when other day when I face even more problems.
Such as loneliness and isolation. I have been known to be very outgoing and friendly...but I don't feel that way...I feel that I hide my feelings very well.
What can I do to fill in a void?

Spirituality and Religion are learned even though there is some evidence that there are genes which make people yearn for a higher meaning. I think that family tradition plays the biggest role. I think that people with abusive childhoods might have a tendancy to be religious becasue of trying to find comfort since they were so unfairly treated. Those are two examples. What REALLY made you go the direction you did?

I'm speaking of these words as adjectives.

Originary is something so uniquely original that it did not derive from something else. The first instance of human langage is originary.

"The origin of language marks off a new stage in human evolution, the beginning of culture, including religion, art, desire, and the sacred. In addition, language makes possible new forms of social organization which are radically different from animal 'pecking order' hierarchies dominated by an alpha male. Because language is so radically different from animal communication systems, the central claim of Generative Anthropology maintains that its origin must have been a singular event..."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_Anthropology#The_Originary_Hypothesis

The first poem would be 'originary' - the first sonnet would be 'original'.

I think the distinction is interesting, but I can't find any good places online that clarify the distinction in every day terms.
