20 years ago I was paid around £1. a line (55 taps) and I had a computer. Today I'm lucky if I get 40 p. Computer translation hasn't made much headway since Naom Chomsky's famous 'The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak', translated into Russian and back to English - result - 'the vodka's OK, but the meat's a bit off.'
If people want a good translation then they should pay for it - and not expect it to be delivered yesterday.

I am sure most of you know the story about the heavens gate followers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavens_Gate

Now my question is "Why would these people die for something that wasn't true?" I mean willingly give thier lives for a lie?

I would really like to hear Christian opionions on this.

Note: I am in no way saying they were Christian

The better they are at selling Jesus and religion, the greater the money they take in?

my mum andmy dad aren't in a good relation ship, they live seperatly yet my dad wouldn't do a divorce, because he wanted my mum to suffer. he only gives my mom a thousand dollars a month and often when my mum wants things to get better and talk about it, my dad's mum simply says infront of my mum's mum (wt) that my mum is mad and to take her to the hospital. also when she felt sad because our family was broken apart, she cried and my granpa said she was a physco and to shuttup! (i think they're mad gosh) anyways and my mom was so helpless of her future so she went to the fortune teller, she told my mum that next year, in either of jan, feb, mar, or april, she will have a car accident and have a surgery on her stomache. she wouldn't be able to move and then my dad would kick my mum out of the house and would marry this frickin weird lady which would be my stepmom. i hate my dad, kicking out a sick person with no job, and money..so please.. please pray for my mum to get better somehow...

Evolution/Creationism debate please.
Feel free to quote scripture and even another's opinion.
I just want to see you disprove it.
Don't prove to me Creationism is correct.
Just DISPROVE that any type (micro/macro)biotic evolution is not correct and should therefore be put to shame.

My sister is one of the kindest, funnest, most helpful people you will ever meet, and until recently I have had very few problems with her.
Unfortunately the other day I realised that in actual fact she's also pretty racist and more than a little homophobic.
I have no idea how to deal with this situation. I love my sister, but the fact that she's like that is really making me rethink what kind of person she is.
Any suggestions?

I'm not asking if you think it's right or righteous, or sanctioned by Christ, just if we should get rid of the anti-prostitution lawas.

I'm asking this in the religious section, because I'm pretty sure that it was religious people who made the anti-prostitution laws in the first place.

Are you one of the millions of people who live by faith? Do you believe religion is under attack in modern society? Have the lines blurred too much or not enough between religion and politics?

im an atheist and sometimes i find myself saying the same things the average religious nutball would happily proclaim
such as....

I'm right... you're wrong
blank is the only way to think
and the list goes on

how do we prevent atheism from becoming another dogmatic pursuit...

I mean, why is it like it is? Two oval shaped eyes on a slight angle, a thin slit for a mouth and two thin slits for nostrils and thin with a big head. Is there an actual documentation for the first time someone suggested this?

Just like to see your opinions on this.

I am invited to a wedding of a coworkers and I cannot eat anything at the reception due to the use of latex gloves in the food prep area(highly allergic to latex). I want to go to the reception, but I don't want the bride and groom to pay for me if I am not going to eat. How do accept the invite and tell them don't set a place for me??? Or do I just go, say nothing, and don't eat? I am about to decline going at all.

The UK home office defines terrorist acts as:
"Any act committed,or the threat of action,designed to influence a government or intimidate the public and made for the purposes of advancing a political,religious or ideological cause and that involves serious violence against a person; that may endanger another person’s life; creates a serious risk to the health or safety of the public; involves serious damage to property; is designed to seriously disrupt or interfere with an electronic system."
During World War 2, some German pastors, including Dietrich Bonhoeffer, were part of a plot to kill Hitler using a bomb in a briefcase. The bomb failed to kill Hitler and the plotters were killed by the Nazis. What the bomb plotters did was surely, by modern definitions, a terrorist act. Is terrorism ever justifiable?
