Most of us Seniors are on a fixed income. I would like some suggestions on how to raise a little extra income as I know many of us could use that.
I suggest recycling aluminum, the kids now days just throw the cans on the ground.
Any other ideas?

There is no "nice" way to ask that but I am asking it honestly. I see here people saying all the time that people aren't Christians because "they are arrogant" or "they follow the devil". But everyone has a story, I am one of them. It's not as simple as many "assume" it to be. And if you "assume" why someone isn't a Christian, then just how do you expect to sincerly "reach" them?

We have 5 children plus us. They are all small. The oldest is 4, a set of twins that will be 3 by then and a set of twins that will be 10 months by then. We don't want scary. It has to be family friendly. We did puppies and pirates already. I kinda need things that would be easy to make yourself and not a pain to get in and out of we have a couple of nights we have to dress up for different things. Thank you for you help.

Gene mutations result in new alleles, and are the source of variation within populations. Gene mutations are ultimately behind the other mechanisms that provide variation. Due to DNA replication and DNA repair mechanisms, mutation rates of individual genes are low, but since each organism has many genes, and a population has many individuals, new mutations arise in populations all the time. So, mutations are relatively common, and the mutation rate is an adequate source of new alleles. High levels of molecular variation are common in natural populations, although many mutations (usually recessive) are hidden.

The mutation rate varies greatly among species and even among genes of an individual. Mutations are caused by errors in DNA replication, chemicals, or radiation. Large scale effects of mutation result only when mutation is combined with other factors that reshuffle the gene pool.

The good Christian should beware the mathematician and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of hell.
-Saint Augustine, 354–430

We know that mathematics (number theory, if you will) are used to prove many hypotheses, thus elevating them to the status of "Theory." Did Augustine imbue Christianity with a fear of mathematics and a distrust for science because of his own refusal to accept fact over the musings of shepherds?

I know that Jews and early Christians both considered Saturday the sabbath (since it's on the seventh day). When and why did that change for Christians? I'd like the actual historical reason, please!

..when the reverse should be true because `non-believers` have proved they are able to think for themselves, stand up for themselves without having something or someone or a god to lean on?

If you are not a Christian, why aren't you one? (NOT being offensive just curious), what are your reasons for not being a christian?

Other than the fact that Christianity is based completely around the idea of a human sacrifice, I would have to say the idea of the trinity is the most obvious as far as moronic beliefs.

Christians try to tell me, "Well, if you drop 3 rocks into a bucket, then they are separate, but in the same vessel," or "The trinity is like aquafresh toothpaste, 3 flavors in one". Do they ever stop and THINK about what they are saying? Good hell.

Without science they would not be typing their nonsense answers at this very moment, right?

If religion dictated technological advances, and not scientific theories and research, then we would still be in the bronze age, killing each other with sticks, and threatening death and burning in hell as our only way of communication rather than the net.

How can theists enjoy all these scientific advancements without being complete hypocrites? Let me guess, God inspired the scientists to build things like computers, cars, and x-boxes? Hmmm. That's odd, last time I checked scientists were working for the devil right? Give me a fu*king break.

His account was deleted thanks to a bunch of fundies who could dish it out but not take it. He was honest, real...he probably forced alot of you to look at things you weren't willing to face. He wasn't anymore harsh than some of the bible thumping hell and damnation christians I have seen on R&S. The difference was he acknowledged his pain and experienced it the best way he could as opposed to pretending and passive aggresive behavior that so many christians practice. For now he is gone - our loss. Hopefully he will decide to come back for more thought provoking questions!

I bought a corrugated cemetary entrance for Halloween this year and would like to know if there is a way to 'weatherproof' it. I don't know if a coat of polyurethane can be put on cardboard.

Does anyone have any ideas on weatherproofing cardboard? I live in Ohio and will need to protect the entrance from the elements! This thing was kind of expensive and I'd like to use it for a few years. Thank you!

James 2: 14

"My friends, what good is it to say you have faith, when you don't do anything to show that you really do have faith? Can that kind of faith save you? If you know someone who doesn't have any clothes or food, you shouldn't just say, "I hope all goes well for you. I hope you will be warm and have plenty to eat." What good is it to say this, unless you do something to help? Faith that doesn't lead us to do good deeds is all alone and dead"

Ahhh, indeed indeed , it is by Jesus of Nazareth whose oxygen was Justice, Whose occupation was forgiveness and Whose sole aim was to Love without Judgement. Alas, What a state of Mind?

So why do those "true christians" make that claim that others are not "true christians" if it is not pride and love of self?

They rather insult, degrade, and put people down rather than simply give them notice to move out of the area. Are they afraid of being sued for prejudicism and yet not afraid of being sued for harassment? I've had the same treatment when in Hurkett, Matheson, Cobalt, Gilles, Waterside. Most these places were in Ontario but Waterside is just North of Enderby! It's the worst of the places! There triple nastier than those other small communities I mentioned. Is all of BC worse than Ontario? yet some say BC is the place to Be why? I haven't been happy in BC yet don't have enough money to go back to Ontario! I don't know if it be wise to do so. Maybe Ontario has gotten worse too I don't know! I'm 57 and can't keep moving from place to place! I wasted so much of my life moving! I hope where ever I go to will be for the rest of my life!
Any ideas or Answers to Question?
