I rear-ended another car this morning. I tell you, I knew right then and there that it was going to be a really bad day!

The driver got out of the other car, and wouldn't you know it... he was a DWARF!

He looked up at me and said " Hey buddy, I am NOT Happy!"

So I said, "Well then, which dwarf ARE you?"

And that's how the fight started.



Star if funny :)

I was a Christian before, but now I cannot believe anymore. As a Christian, I was told that being an atheist is worst than being a Jew or a Muslim. Do jewish ppl or muslims believe the same things about non believers? Why is it so bad not to believe in something that doesn't make sense?

For instance the Moon and the snake both represent the throwing off of the old to be born again. As the snake sheds it's skin and the Moon sheds it's light to bring on new life and new light. This is birth and death or relative reality, the never ending circle, also told as a picture or symbol as the snake with it's tail in it's mouth. There is so much more. *sip*

I recently read that if you don't want to have a relationship, or aren't interested in dating girls-- but only hooking up with them then you aren't bi or even bi curious but just horny and up for anything?? Is this true? And I think in my case it is. My husband and I have been looking for someone to have a 3some w/ but they all want to go out and have coffee or go to dinner first.... I think that would make them feel like a "friend" to me, and I could never get down with a friend! I think it would make it awkward, if its intended to be no strings attached. How do you go about this? Any girls in my situation? I'm not trying to be graphic, or derogatory-- just trying to get some answers! Confuuused.... thanks!

A question I saw earlier made me curious so here we go. I would like those who think we pagans are such terrible people to give the reason behind your judgment without accusing us of Satan worship or throwing versus at me. I would really like to know what it is about these beliefs that make some people go nuts. Also think about this, say you have a friend you have known for years that you really care about and one day he/she comes out of the "broom closet" and tells you hey I am a Pagan, how would you react?

I don't know how many of you have heard of and or watched the short documentary called Zeitgeist about how Jesus is just an accumulation of mythological characters and ideas etc. etc. But I personally want to be educated to be able to make my own opinion on the matter. Where can I find totally unbiased books translating the various texts of ancient mythological figures and ideas etc. into english? I really have no idea what to look for. Any ideas and or suggesstions? Books, Websites, etc. etc.?

Hi. My daughter's new cheerleading coach is having a "meet and greet" swim party to introduce all the girls on the squad and their parents to each other. What sort of hostess gift would you take to this party? We've never met, so alcohol is definitely out.

As we know, the Samaritans were looked down upon by the Jews.

See Luke 10:25-37, for those who don't know the story.

Genesis 4
1And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.

2And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

3And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.

4And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:

5But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

6And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?

7If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

Ok now I've heard all the excuses for Mohammand and why he made the chose to spread a 9 year old's legs. Back then it was accepted, everyone was doing it, people died earlier back than.
Only one problem with that, if he really is the prophet than even back than he would have known it was wrong to have sex with a 9 year old. My little sister is 9 years old and she still plays with dolls and can be bribed using candy for pete's sake.

Does it affect the Zodiac?
Does it affect anything?
If it doesn't matter, why not?

I know that God is real because He has revealed Himself to us in three ways: in creation, in His Word, and in His Son, Jesus Christ.

The most basic proof of God’s existence is simply what He has made. For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that [unbelievers] are without excuse. The heavens declare the glory of God. And the firmament sheweth His handiwork.

If I found a wristwatch in the middle of a field, I would not assume that it just “appeared” out of nowhere or that it had always existed. Based on the watch’s design, I would assume it had a designer. But I see far greater design and precision in the world around us. Our measurement of time is not based on wristwatches, but on God’s handiwork, the regular rotation of the earth (and the radioactive properties of the cesium 133 atom). The universe displays great design, and this argues for a Great Designe

Atheist claim to fully understand Dawinism & evolution (That's great you can read a 8th grade science book) but most on this website are just plain negative and unhappy despite what they say.
