traditional catholics ... aren't they a bit strange?

I've met some traditional catholics, and it seems to me that they're living in a completely different world. I'm talking about the catholics who don't follow the current hierarchy of the Catholic Church. They practice the catholic faith of how it was before the changes from the Second Vatican Council. To me they seem a bit looney and not with the times. (dress, fashion, way of talking, etc.) Some of these types of catholics don't even believe the current pope is a pope and elect their pope. And my god ... they have HUGE families! Families of 15 to 20! Why are these types of catholics so weird?

Will you pray for me?

I am currently seeking Gods will for my life and believe I am being called out of my profession to do Christian work in the UK. I am currently looking into two options although am also open to others but I need prayer for confirmation.

Will you pray that I will have no doubt in my mind and clear confirmation where God wants me to be. It could be so easy to jump in and say yes to something but I want it to be Gods will for me.
If you have any thoughts after praying then please would you share them with me too.
Thankyou and looking forward to God answering!

The Leap of Faith?

Do you as believers ever question exactly what does happen when we are dead, and left to bones. I believe that we will face god on judgement day, but ever for one moment do you question the whole "shabang", and what would you do if you died and nothing was true about what we believed?

If Atheists don't believe in the existence of God or in religous laws, what is their moral guide?

I know a woman who went after another woman's husband because she said she was an atheist and adultery wasn't wrong because she doesn't believe in the 10 commandments. Do other atheist feel this way or was this woman just justifying her actions?

True Views on Christ.?

Jesus as he was,
What are your views?
Don't relate it to his followers, etc.
Just whatever you think about him, write a sentence or a paragraph, I'll read it.

Why do people assume pizza delivery drivers get the delivery charge?

The truth is, we get a portion of the delivery charge. It's about half of it. It almost pays for gas at the price gas is running these days; it does not pay for oil and tires, or the danger we're in, frankly. (Pizza drivers are in the top 10 most dangerous professions.) The store keeps the other half. Is this a matter of education, or is it a way for people to absolve themselves from tipping us for good service?

How will god Judge those who grew up across the Globe?

It has to be pointed out that many followers of Islam, Or muslims grew up in an atmosphere where that is the religion.

They believe in a supreme being etc. I understand we have to accept christ and believe him the son of God, but I have real strong reservations in condeming someone who grew up in a different culture, or who never had access to the gospel. How will God judge those people, who have a faith but substitute our teachings for their own?

Why Bom dia, bonjour, buon giorno but Buenos Dias, plural in Spanish?

Can anyone explain how this salutation evolved to be plural in Spanish only. Other romance languages Portuguese, French, Italian are happy with "good day" not "good days." Any ideas how this came about?

Is donating blood really considered "volunteering"?

I dont think so. I think of it as more like a charity...kinda like donating clothes, but your donating your blood instead. Thats MY opinion though, what do you think?
