I have a sister who is VERY materialistic, and she is making her kids the same way. She buys them nothing but designer clothes expensive flat screen tv's ,bedroom sets. Its just plain sickening,there also very ungrateful. If if not a famous brand they don't want it. They often tease my daughter because i buy her clothes from target and other cheap places. I mean it's ok to buy your kids nice stuff,but also teach them values. I buy my daughter nice things but she also donates to charities and we also volunteer with habitat for humanities to build houses for the less fortunate . She see that there are kids in africa who have nothing, so she wants to share. Isn't sad how or future generation is gonna be a buch a materialistic superficial brats? not really a question more like a rant

I'm not going to apologize for thinking religion is a plague on humanity. I truly believe that, and because I believe that I have a moral obligation to speak out against religion.

But I don't think it's necessary to say things like "Jesus raped puppies." That's just stupid, and all you're doing is inciting conflict. I don't expect you will stop doing that, because anyone who would do it in the first place clearly has no thought or care about it. More so, I'm just saying all this to separate myself from your kind.

I was doing minstry related job, serving God in other country for few months. After i came back to the states, I've been looking for a job. My heart is continually serving God, but my parents are keep on forcing me to get a real job. They don't want me to do ministry at all. Due to my parents saying stuff alot, I've been constantly applying, doing interviews, searching for a job but I never got one. Companies are not calling too much or either that position for the job was already filled. Although I constantly pray so that I can work for a while before I go to ministry, I am not being hired. So now, Somtimes, I feel that I lost the passion to serve although it is my desire to go ministry. Somtimes I feel so stupid because I am not being hired at the same time. I dont want to work in secular environment rest of my life, just doing work all day. What lesson is God teaching me? how can I respond and pray for situation like these? How can I restore my vision?

People who promise to pay you back money they borrowed from you at a specific time, & then the time comes, & you remind them about it, & then they say again that they're gonna do it, & then say, "Oops! I forgot. Remind me tomorrow at noon." That time comes, & then they get annoyed & threaten to report you for harrassment to the police or threaten to kick your @$$. People do that to me all the time, & it hurts. It just happened to me.

Jesus sinned by making himself unclean when he touched the leper and dead
girl (a violation of Levitical law which all Jews were under. Jesus himself
agreed he was under the law.) (Ezekiel 44:25-27,Lev 13:1-8, Lev 5:2-6, Num
5:1-3, Num 19:11, Matt 9:23-26, Matthew 8:2-4)

Jesus promised to return from heaven within the lifetimes of his
listeners – he never did. (Matthew 16:27-28, Matthew 24:34, Matthew 25:13, Matthew 10:23)

My mom is the assistant manager at a hotel. When I was going to school, I would help out there whenever they were short handed. I was the breakfast hostess (I was in charge of the breakfast bar...keeping it stocked, cleaning up and so on as well as cleaning the rest of the hotel such as the lobby, hallways, stairwells, bathrooms....everything besides the hotel rooms). People amazed me. Parents would let their children make such messes and not even bother with it....I remember once a kid dumped a whole mess of cheerios in the floor and stomped on them. His mother actually laughed and then looked at the mess and then at me as if to say "Are you going to clean that up or just leave it sitting there?"

Though, that's really nothing to what my mom has to deal with. People seem to think that you owe them something...it's really unbelievable how some act. I would never behave that way nor would I let my children. Thankfully, though, this is not the majority of people. But the ones who do behave badly leave quite an impression...

This is my little rant for the day...lol, I'm annoyed right now.

the secret priests would take great Cthulhu from His tomb to revive His subjects and resume His rule of earth....Then mankind would have become as the Great Old Ones; free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and revelling in joy. Then the liberated Old Ones would teach them new ways to shout and kill and revel and enjoy themselves, and all the earth would flame with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom.

I've never understood why "pro-life" Christians (does that make the rest of us are somehow "anti-life"?) feel they have the right to protest outside abortion clinics, as though one person's faith takes precedence over another person's freedom over their own body.

So I'm just asking for a little fair play - would anybody object terribly if we started setting up modern sterile mobile abortion clinics outside churches, setting one person's personal freedom over her body over another person's faith. Only fair, surely?

Something has really been bothering me. At a church I just joined the Pastor noted that some in the audiance were being too cool during the praise and whorship time. He went on to say that the person was not participating because they didn't feel worthy. Also implied the person would be found out and maybe this isn't the place for them. Later statements by others lead me to believe he was talking about me. Not sure. I usually stand and clap but the shouting and running is just not my style. I would feel like I was a fraud to do so. Is it wrong to stand and clap or do you have to do what others do. Maybe the Cathoalic Church is more my style?

I say I am fuccked if I know if I cannot answer the question and when they say tell me about yourself I say what the ***** is it to you. I would be good for the job and am qualified but they need to be more open minded about me. I am trainable and have skills I just get aggressive of the attitudes some people have to interviews and the humiliation tactics they use to mess with your head. Some interviews I do not swear but when they are arrogant I think stuff you I would not want to work for you you lsoer.

Is Castilian Spanish considered proper Spanish, as compared to how it is spoken in Latin America? Like how English in the UK is considered more proper than in the USA.
2nd Question - In Spain, for "I Love You", would they say "Te Quiero"....or would they say "Te Amo" ? Which is more correct, at least in Spain?

jesus did not say to accept other religions as being true. In fact, He made one of the most "intolerant" statements that any religious leader has ever made:

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me." (John 14:6)

This statement alone reveals that all other religions and religious ideas cannot be true. No religion other than Christianity claims that Jesus is the only way to God. Therefore, either Jesus was telling the truth and He is the only way to God or He was a liar and Christianity is false.

And don't say "i send money to charities over the net" cause it's bs, and don't say "i work for a charity". Idealy you should sell your possesions and give the money to the poor and needy as jesus said than you will be in the kingdom of heaven, yet you will argue and convince yourself that you are already going to heaven.

I'd like to know how many of you really believe in any sort of afterlife, weather that be heaven/hell, reincarnation, or you float around as energy/spirit till the end of time.

And how many people, like myself, think that life just ends, and belief in an afterlife is just humans unable to come to terms with there own mortality.

If someone swears in the name of Allah he will never do this bad thing again (e.g cursing masturbating, stealing, drinking etc.), but he still does it, what is the ruling if he seeks forgiveness? I have asked a different question about this and they all say for recompensation, free a Muslim slave, feed 10 poor people or clothing them, and if you can't do this, fast for three days and seek forgiveness.

What I'm really saying is do these recompensation acts must be done for each time he breaks it or as a whole?

Help me, guys. I did something bad and I swore in the name of Allah I will never do it again, but I have repeated it many times. Please, do I recompense for each act or as a whole? I really didn't mean to do it and I am afraid, I seek Allah S.W.T's forgiveness. Please, help me.

I was seriously ill for about 8 months. I lost a lot of weight in a short period of time. I'm finding nearly impossible to put back on. I'm 5'7 and weigh 95lbs right now, where I used to weigh about 120/125.I work in a large place and I deal with many departments, so a lot of people know who I am, but don't know me personally or what I've gone through. I get so many comments about being to skinny, it not being healthy, looking like Nicole Ritchie, ect. I've heard people make even more rude comments in whispers to their coworkers.

Why do people find it okay to make comments about my weight? They wouldn't look at someone overweight and tell them they were too fat or needed to go on a diet. Why is it okay for them to tell me I'm too skinny? What can I say to these rude people. I don't want to be known as the poor sick girl, but being known as the anorexic freak might be worse.

I dated this guy 2 years ago, he was there 4 me when I was going thru an abusive relationship. He was the one that talked some senses into me n convinced me 2 leave the abusive relationship 4 good.
We dated for several months after, then he moved away. We've lost contact since. He didn't write much n I decided to stop writing him because I was going thru a lot of issues n I felt like always dumping my problems on him. I fetl I needed 2 deal with my problems on my own.
2 years has passed, my life has been much better, n I'm getting myself together. I've moved on n I'm now in a new relationship. Recently, I ran into him but it was so awkward. I wanted to talk to him, but my boyfriend was with me and he felt really insecure that my ex was there. So I didn't get to talk 2 him much because I felt it wasn't the right time n now I wished I did. I just want to tell him thank u for talking senses into me years ago n let him know I'm better now. Should I send him a card, or let it go?
