While the girl was getting my dental records, the phone rang at my dentist's. I reached over and answered the phone and took a message to cancel an appointment. Is it okay to do this in stores as well? These people can't do everything and need all the help we can give them!

This is one of the best clean jokes I've seen in a while!
Jesus and Satan were having an on-going argument about who was better on the computer. They had been going at it for days, and frankly God was tired of hearing all the bickering.
Finally fed up, God said, "THAT'S IT! I have had enough. I am going to set up a test that will run for two hours, and from those results, I will judge who does the better job."
So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away.
They moused.
They faxed.
They e-mailed.
They e-mailed with attachments.
They downloaded.
They did spreadsheets!
They wrote reports.
They created labels and cards.
They created charts and graphs.
They did some genealogy reports
They did every job known to man.
Jesus worked with
heavenly efficiency and Satan was faster than hell.

This is a serious question.

The primary source for the new earth creationist’s beliefs is the bible. This is the root of the objection to evolutionary theory. I think we can all agree on this. Given that this is the case, how many of them are aware that there are in fact two contradictory accounts of man's creation in genesis?

In genesis chapter one, God creates all the creatures of the earth on the fifth day. On the sixth day, God creates humankind. (Gen. 1:21-30) According to Genesis two however, God creates Adam and THEN all of the plants of the earth, the Garden of Eden and all of the creatures that roam the earth and sky. (Gen. 2:4-20). This is the opposite of the account in genesis one. In one, God makes all life, and then man, but in two, God makes man and then all life.

If you believe in a literal interpretation, how do you rationalize this? Is it possible that the creation story isn't supposed to be interpreted as a verbatim account of how it happened?

I've done so many things that would make him very ashamed and look down on me that I am afraid to even talk to Him, I know I've sinned greatly, my past is my worst enemy and I don't think God has forgiven me for my sins...

For everyone who lives in the Northern United States, what do you think of those in the Southern United States?

(Taking a poll for my Social Studies project)

And vise versa.

Southerners, what do you think of Northerners?

I'm in South Eastern Penn (45 minutes from Philly). I am trying to find a store that sells supplies & books of the wiccan/pagan persuation ;) Ya know, in the movies there is always a creepy, powerful bookstore with a witch behind the counter. I know its hollywood, but I thought there would be something tailored for us for real. If no one can help with an actual store, how about a good online site? I'd prefer to see things in person before purchasing though.
Thanks!

Seriously, the media has hyped it up so much that there's a lot to live up to. Does true love exist anymore? Or is it just a fable?

I do not see anywhere in the Bible where God may have wanted these divisions in the church. We are the church, we put him in our heart and his spirit guides us, anyways this is how I understand it! You see, I don't want to get wrapped up in the organizations (denominations) rules, I only want to follow what God wants me too. Is there anyone else w/ this problem. Please be nice with your answers, because these are the type of things that stear me away from religion, but not God.

I found some discussion about one of my youtube videos, only it was in a language that I don't understand. As the board they were talking on was .ro, I figured it was Romanian, but it doesn't translate on the translator programs I found. I also tried Spanish, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, German, Italian, French, Swedish, Czech, and a variety of others.

So can anyone tell me what language it is, and if you understand it, what it means? Thanks. :)
