I feel i dont have anything in life.Im 16 and i have lil mentally challenged bro and almost my whole life i have been taking care of him.Not just that,some how im not able to make friends or make anyone like me.Like how some people talk alot and then people want to be around them.This happens occasionaly but whenever we have a prayer meeting or something im always in the room with my bro and whenever someone(like my cousins)try to talk to me im not able to talk.And thats why no one wish to be around me or wanna be friends with me.I feel horrible because i dont have anyone in life to look up to.My family doesnt treat me right,i dont have any friends,nor have i ever dated a guy.I mean i dont know what im doing wrong or what im being punished for i mean i takecare of my lil bro i doo soo much for him why cant i not have a good,normal life?I pray everyday and yes im very relegious.But i cant understand why bad things happen with good people?I VERY depressed and dont know what do to.And this that i told u is not all theres alot more in my life i can tell.

NOTTINGHAM, Md. - Elwood "Bunky" Bartlett says a New Age book store made it possible for him to become an overnight multimillionaire.

He and his wife, Denise, were on their way to the shop where he occasionally teaches Wicca and Reiki (RAY'kee) healing when they stopped at a liquor store and bought two $5 Mega Millions tickets for Friday night's estimated $330 million jackpot. On Sunday, he said one ticket was a winner.

"If it wasn't for this place I wouldn't have won the lottery," Bartlett said Sunday at Mystickal Voyage, the New Age shop.

Four winning tickets to the Mega Millions jackpot were sold in Maryland, New Jersey, Texas and Virginia. Lottery officials said Sunday they cannot confirm the validity of Bartlett's ticket before they meet with him on Tuesday.

"There's no reason to believe it's not legitimate, but it has to go through security," said Maryland State Lottery Director Buddy Roogow, who said he has spoken with Bartlett.

Bartlett, an accountant from Dundalk, said he made a bargain with the multiple gods associated with his Wiccan beliefs: "You let me win the lottery and I'll teach." Both tickets he purchased had numbers chosen randomly from the computer.

Bartlett had not decided if he will accept his winnings as an annuity or choose the lump sum cash option. The jackpot could get larger once ticket sales are tallied, Roogow said, but the lump sum payment would be at least $48.7 million, or about $32 million after taxes.

According to preliminary calculations, each ticket would be worth about $82 million if the prize were taken in 26 annual payments.

Bartlett said the money won't change him, although he plans to invest in Mystickal Voyage. "I'm going to live my life like I have been," he said.

The odds that any ticket would match all five numbers — 8, 18, 22, 40 and 44 — and the Mega Ball number — 11 — were one in 176 million.

If estimates of the jackpot hold true, it would be the fourth largest in the lottery's history. It was known as The Big Game when it awarded jackpots of $363 million in 2000 and $331 million in 2002.

Mega Millions tickets are also sold in California, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Ohio and Washington.

I was trying to think of ways to squash a full set of anti-homophobic arguments for you to refute into a 1000-character question, and I decided that really the only way is to link to a longer and more complete set of such arguments. I then happened across this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPzso1OOTPM
I'd just like to know what you people who consider homosexuality to be immoral have to say about this. If possible, please try to actually come up with either counters to the arguments made in the video or additional, real reasons why homosexuality is immoral, I'd rather not see any random quotation of scripture that doesn't address the arguments in the video.

religion: a set of common beliefs and practices generally held by a group of people, often codified as prayer, ritual, and religious law.

atheism: the absence of belief in deities, alternatively called "nontheism".

how can ever a set of beliefs be ever confused with the absence of belief?

In our language we say it at times when we don't wanna start a sexual relationship with a person who isn't our bf/gf but lives very close to us on a daily basis. It can be a colleague, a flat/housemate, classmate, etc. So the meaning of this saying is basically "no domestic sex" or something like that. I'm desperately seeking the perfect English equivalent. What do you say at such times? I mean when the conversation is about a person close to us and you wanna express that u don't fancy a sexual relationship with him/her because of the fact of living so close together day by day and sex could only cause problems in the long run.

Because, when reading about her life she obviously didn't have the same Jesus Christ of the Gospels or the Gospel.

That Jesus was absent to her & that she didn't even lead people to Christ on their death bed. Just that they prayed to their God. She wanted to make a Hindu a better Hindu. A Muslim a better Muslim. Etc.

And to be in misery is to be Holy & special somehow.

This isn't in the Gospel, but it contradicts the bible.

My step son has always been "a little" quiet and reserve, definitely never like the other boys when he was growing up.
He played with toys (skate boarding figures and BMX figures on small finger ramps) until he was 16. He still doesn't have his license, says he's nervous. He has been caught more times that I can count looking at cross dressing web sites, or gay websites. I found a chat log once that he wanted to engage in "sex acts" with another boy. He says this is just curious behavior, and he protest he is NOT gay, but I do not believe him. His dad is not sure what to believe. My 2 younger children live in the same house and I have forbid "porn" even on his personal computer. He erases history daily.
I am not sure if he's gay or just inmature.
Like I said, he is 20. He works and sleeps....He isn't like any other 20 year old I have ever known. He doesn't even want to go out (except with his sister, 19) that's only to family BBQ's and stuff.
What should I do?

It seems strange to me that Jesus is painted almost always as a white European. I wonder what would happen to Christianity if it were proved that Jesus was Black. I wonder if people would leave the church in droves?

I kind of think many would... they would find it impossible to pray to a Black icon.
