I live across from a middle school and in the school is the area's park, and next to it is a church, usually once or twice a week there's cars parked in the church's lot at night. Sometimes cops pull over and check out the church's lot, but recently late at night there's been lots of people parked in the street and going into the park. Should i be concern or am i being paranoid after all you hear some weird thing in the news everyday.

I'm sorry, but if a girl hits me after I tell her to stop then I'm going to Ali her a**. I'm not a woman beater but I'm not a doormat either. What's your opinion?... I want down-to-earth opinions, not that politically correct crap.

I'd like to let my friends know that I'm not so sick now and that everything is reopened. How can I go about doing this? Most of them are from this section.

God is fickle and may change His mind half way up.

Hell is generally depicted as a place of eternal torment. That is, torture.

I recently asked if torture was a sin, and the general consensus so far is that it is wrong, evil, sinful and heinous to torture people. A few answers suggested it might be acceptable under very special circumstances, such as if it were necessary to obtain information that would save lives. But it was generally agreed that torture for its own sake, when no useful information could be obtained, is an evil act.
Here's the link to the question:

Now, this presents a conundrum. If God created Hell (as it is generally described), and chooses to send some people there, then God is torturing people for all eternity, and cannot possibly gain anything from it except perhaps his own perverse enjoyment. If this is the case, and I have seen devout believers on this very site claiming that it IS the case, then God is evil.

Why would such a being be worthy of our worship?

It seems many justified by the law, thereby fallen from grace above, say Peace and Safety in Law worketh Wrath, and don't see sudden destruction coming from law: ministration of death.

I keep seeing people posting 'answers' to questions saying 'It's wrong to be gay' or 'God hates you unless you change'...but why would homophobics come into this section if they dislike gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender people? Do you not have anything better to do with your time so you have to go around expressing your hate for other people? If you're really angry enough that you have to go on here to take it out on others, you should really get some professional help.

The fact that women were inferior to men in the past is one thing, but for the bible itself to encourage such thoughts and people still look up at it is beyond me! I guess people back then who believed in the bible and oppressed women couldn't really be blamed...for they were merely following what the bible told them to do! Women were inferior as a fact of life back then, but why would God Himself encourage it? Since when did God have to set laws according to man's desire?

1 Cor. 14:34 "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the LAW. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a SHAME for women to speak in the church."
(It is shameful for women to say anything in church??!!)

Question One:
Do you call your time of worship (or whatever) Church or a Mass?

Question Two:
What Days do you go on?

Question Three:
Is your... gospel thing called a Bible or something else?

Question Four:
I understand that you do not let anyone that isn't Mormon into the building where everyone comes to worship, but is it okay to hand out the book of holiness that you err, read?

Any other information is GREATLY appreciated. Sorry about my uh, lack of vocabulary, I did this quickly without going to a dictionary.

Crime And Punishment
Karma is there to teach, not punish.
The only reason we
are on Earth is to learn,
and Karma provides the lessons.
It would be criminal to ignore them.

Knowing that the statistics prove that people that are raped are more likely to become sexual deviants or predators we as prayer pilgrims need to pray that Elizabeth Smart will do the right thing and not carry out predatory behavior. As prayer pilgrims we need to pray that Smart will do the right thing and use her rape as a an example to combat this horrible behavior. With the Lord's power she has the ability to overcome the evil urges that she will face. Believe me we don't need another Mary Kay Letourneau!

Do you agree prayer pilgrims?

She needs to speak out on this issue and she needs to prove to the world that she will do the right thing. She owes us, the American people, at least that (especially since everything we did to get her back). :)

hahahaha I love all the claims of prejudice and discrimination in here! Most of them are based on a few peoples thoughtless comments, or the "entitlement" mentality. The thoughtless comments I can understand, but those who think they are entitled to anything because of race, color, creed, religion, or era of birth aren't going to like me at all!
All jokes aside, any form of prejudice or discrimination is wrong, and I hope that everyone shows proper respect to everyone else (which does not imply you have to agree or lose your sense of humor!). Take care of yourselves, and may tomorrow find you healthy and happy.
