I believe people will respond to this question by saying they are more outraged by child abuse than animal abuse. However, I haven’t seen people being as vocal about their concern for children as they did for animals in the Michael Vick animal abuse case. This animal abuse case cause a national uproar and greatly increased contributions to animal rights groups.

What do you think needs to be done to get more national attention and contributions to children's organizations and to put pressure on judges to give harsh prison sentences to child abusers?

Side note: I love animals and completely support the need to prevent animal abuse.

Many modern christians say they shouldnt follow the old testament, that only the new applies.

MATTHEW 7:12. is the Golden rule, you know the one, do unto others as you would have them do unto you..that one.

prohibiting gay marriage- do you want us to prohibit straight marriage? With this NEW TESTAMENT way of thinking, you are asking homosexuals to prohibit your marriage, as you prohibit our marriage.

Condemn people to hell- Well, i guess you tell us our beliefs are wrong and we are going to hell, then you cant get after us for telling us you are wrong afterall.

killing people in the name of god- Well then, i guess we get to kill people in the belief of god then!

if the new testament still applies, and this is the main rule of the new testament...christians sure in heck arent following it very well. Any thoughts?

when he says "I assure you that some of those standing here today will live to see the Kingdom of God come with power"?
Isn't he saying that some of the people listening to him will see the Second Coming?

For anyone who is going to read this and has been in witchcraft i am sure that you will answer magick works because of the power of the mind. And i would agree. However, This to me would indicate that thoughts themselves contain some degree but i was curious as to prespectives on thoughts themselves contain power. Or for anyone who disagrees with my take but believes in witchcraft/ magick why do you feel it works

If God is a perfect being, then the universe he created must be perfect, therefore he would change nothing.
Also anything changed would affect something else, etc. etc. therefore he would change nothing. So why pray for something to happen? It will or it wont according to Gods original perfect design.
No quotes from the Bible please. And I understand its also about giving thanks by the way. No offence meant..

I bought a pack of three pairs of socks last week, I felt carefree, so I went for the assorted colours and had a grey pair, a blue pair and a black pair (for those boys nights out)
Anyway I did a big wash earlier and now I've got a black and grey pair, a grey and blue pair and a blue and black pair and I'm quite irritated.
Would I be able to take thrm back to the shop tomorrow during my lunch break and demand a refund? After all this is not what I bought and this colour combination does not match any of my Autumn collection.
What on earth has happened to the British hosiery industry when this sort of thing happens? I'm emigrating as soon as I can

First off I want to say this is in no way meant to be racist. My question is which tribe was it that were basically traitors to the rest of the native tribes. They worked with the settlers and army directly to help destroy the other tribes. They were vicious and brutal and were often used as scouts by the army to track down other tribes on the run and so on. If you post an answer and you have a source from the web please post the source as well.

Can anyone recommend a good community, city or town between South of San Francisco towards San Jose?
Our criteria is:
- good shuttle system (to senior center and hospital)
- low crime
- low traffic
- excellent senior center

The person will most likely want to live in a townhome (no assisted living required).
One city that seems to match is Foster City...any others?

I just saw B.J. Thomas in concert over the labor day weekend and was wondering if any of you have heard his Gospel music? B.J.'s songs are so positive anyway, but when he did the gospel songs, they were fantastic! Have any of you heard his gospel music and also, what is the best shopping site to order CD's from?

If Yeshua ben Yoseph translates to Joshua son of Joseph does that mean that the real name that brings about salvation is Joshua and not Jesus? So does that mean that name we should seek for our salvation is Joshua Christ instead of Jesus Christ? This question is due in part to this question right here:

I find it extremely annoying that many Christians have decided to ignore some things in the Bible and fully support other things. For example, one person may support the story of Adam and Eve, but reject the belief that the world is only six-thousand years old. They may accept that humans and dinosaurs did NOT co-exist, but still believe in Noah's Ark.

Science has been poking holes in the Bible for years now, but all Christians do, instead of accepting the Bible as a false source of information, is ignore something, or claim you "have to read between the lines". Or that it can't be taken literally.

How many times are you going to change your beliefs before you become aware that the Bible is as fictional as Harry Potter?

I think either people need to stick with being delusional and believing fully and completely in the Bible, or regard it as nothing more than an interesting piece of literature--something to teach of morals and ethics, but not as a true account.

This question was brought on by the answer to another question I posted about bisexuality.
Do you think for most of today's youth, that bisexuality is really about the ability to be monogamous and still feel attraction to both sexes, or is more about sexual experimentation, and a way to get laid at a bar, club, spring break, ect..? What I mean is like girls who say they are "bi" at spring break and kiss other girls on the dance floor to get their boyfriends turned on, because in reality they are so insecure of their boyfriend leaving them for something or someone else that she has to go to extremes to keep him, because in the end, with young people it all revolves around lust and sex, and not to emotional, psychological, or any other type of attraction to the same sex, the opposite sex, or both sexes. It's just about the sex in general.
So, do you think young people use the "bi" label to rationalize their promiscuity or use it as an excuse to be promiscuous?
