As we all know the dessert is not a very hospitable place. I was just curious since a huge band of wandering jews spent 40 years lost in the desert, where exactly did they get their food and water from? How did they cope with child birth or any form of sanitation during this time?

Of course anti-believers will say believers are the ones afraid to die that's why we "invented" an afterlife.But are you atheists really so comfortable with your concept of dying...the end? I have actually known this feeling all too well as I'm sure many have,it feels like life has no purpose that there is no reason for even being here,and it is very scary to feel so insecure and meaningless.There is an answer to that emptiness though,I'll let you guess what it is...ok now lets hear all those defensive answers...

for ex. irish, german, italian, etc. or irishi-american, italian-american, etc. Those are nationalities, and you are only that if you come from those countries yourself. It has nothing to do with people related to you from 100's of yrs. ago. What if a black person was from Ireland or whatnot? Would you call them Irish too? Or would they just be "black"?

He created us, he knows everything, he knew what we would do, he created us anyways. To say he didn't do everything premeditated takes away from his power. Why is that so hard to accept? It is not a false presumption, it is the definition of omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence. If god is not all of these, he is not god, just a bumbling tyrant.

Should this ever be classified as an accident? What kind of punishment do you see as necessary, if any?

I am alone walking in a spiritual desert avoiding pot holes and snakes. Seeing mirages of myself. Suffering confusion and disorientation. Trying too hard to find my path again.
Please share a pearl to help me find my path again.

about what you believe about religion/spirituality? If so, why do you try to make others believe the same way you do, or disrespect them when they don't?

So, I haven't been on answers that much lately, I've been having some personal issues, but this latest problem took the cake.

My mother leaves a voice mail for me, advising me that she has been advised by her lawyers to begin working on her will and in order to include me in the will, I would have to dissolve my civil union AND fax her the paperwork. While, I have known since I came out, of my mother's disapproval of my "lesbianism", her dislike of my partner, and then her "pretending it doesn't exist", I think she has crossed the line of any hope of having a relationship.

While it is HER money, and she can will it out as she deems necessary, I refuse to be unhappy for whatever scraps mommie dearest chooses to throw (or not throw) my way. So I'm wondering, do I call her and let her know, do I email her, or do I just ignore her altogether and not even respond?

If my civil union ever does dissolve, it won't be to please her and get in her "exclusive" will.

I'm taking Literature of the Old and New Testament and can't find anywhere in the book the answer to this question. The question is set up as a chart...well anyway, here are the choices...

Just tell me, "Protestants consider (answer) (answer) and (answer) to be scriptures."

Books:
1 Maccabees
Song of Solomon
Obadiah
Wisdom of Solomon

Faiths:
Protestant
Catholic
Orthodox
Jewish

Thank you! I searched for about an hour for the answer but I could not find it, and it's driving me crazy.

I am planning to have a Princess Breelyn b-day party for my daughter. She will be turning 3 in Nov. I dont want it to be the theme of the Disney Princess. I want it to me more focused on my daughter. (Like Princess Breelyn, thats her name of course). Any suggestions or ideas would be great. I plan to make a castle cake and possible do the entrance to the party like a castle, (but how?) And how do I make the house look like a castle? Of course I dont mean the whole house, Just maybe the room the party will be in! I am going to dress her in a beautiful dress & have her wear a crown. But what else!!? I need more ideas!! I think I have the invation wording figured out. I am planning on playing pass the tiara (like hot potato) & playing pin the crown on the princess. (Like pin the tail on the donkey) But I want more, what about food, a few more games, decorations to make it look like a castle, favors, etc.

I was given a website from one questions goer yesterday and spent alot of time looking thru its contents. I am not ignorant to the way many of our animals are treated for our pleasure, meat, furs etc.

These animal farms, slaughter houses, milking ranches and chicken farms are so past any consideration to the animal.

I know from some answers that some people don't care about the animal and it does not bother them to work in places like this. Some actually love the sport of seeing to animals rip each other apart.

But I would say a majority of people, if well education on the subject and actually were able to go on field trips to view these places, do you think they would try to reform the situation at hand?

I am aware of the millions of people who need to eat and a normal family owned farm where the chickens run loose and the cows are still milked by hand are out of the question for production control, but isn't there another way?

because I've heard Evangelicals/Protestants/Bible-fundamentalists call the Catholics non-Christians, and they say that Catholicism is a non-Christian religion, and some even ask what's the difference between Christians and Catholics. isn't that ridiculous?

aren't those protestants considered heretics? why does it seem like they are now the ones considered "real Christians"?


what's going on?


I'm honestly wondering.

OK, here is my delema, When I got married 2 years ago, my maid of honor said she had a card (with money in it) and that she had also ordered a special throw blanket, that I wanted, with our names and wedding date on it as a gift. Well, I never saw either gift. Not even an empty card. She claimed the card was lost and tried to say someone must have stolen it. I also have no clue what happened with the blanket she so called ordered for me. Now, she is getting married and I was supposed to be in her wedding but for one reason or another I am not in the wedding. Not by my choice, I was actually hurt when I found out I was not in the wedding. I was invited but I am not in the wedding party. So what do I do for her gift? Do I give her one, do I give her nothing, do I give a gift but not a money gift? I am so torn. Please help.

A question was asked about global warming. Now I dont claim to know if its completely caused by man or not but it is still something that ought to be looked into. One answer to this question struck me like a slap in the face. I will paraphrase in the way it came across to me.

"Jesus is gonna take me away from here one day so I dont have to give a f***."

A couple of things.
A: According to the christian religion no one knows the when he will return.
B: We know natural and man made disasters occur.
C:It is obvious we are heating up if you think it is caused by man or not.
D:Most of us have children.

Are you really so disgustingly arrogant to barter away the future of YOUR OWN children on a bet about christ returning in your own lifetime?

Makes me sik.

To God, one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years is like one day?
You must remember to stop bringing God down to human level- to our thinking- for Isaiah says His ways are not our ways nor His thoughts our thoughts......what God says He will do, HE WILL DO! He keeps His promises and it is always in HIS timing~
2 Peter 3:8
But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
