If, sometime in the near future, we discover an asteroid or comet that will definately crash into the Earth, should we try and do everything in our power to avert it, or should we just sit back and accept our impending doom?

Is this true? I think I recognise it now.

According to book Killers on the Web watching porn affects all people to commit sexual offences, including those who uphold the law. What about the people on the Censorship board, who watch the most despicable porn in order to censor it. Should we watch out for them or are they carefully 'vetted'? By what kid of vet?

I've been living with this girl for over a month - she never locks the doors, never takes out the trash (she'll put out her own trash bag instead of taking out the communal trash). She never cleans her hair and she sheds like a dog (I have very short hair and only do my hair in my room). She continually leaves dirty plates on the countertop (even though we have a small roach problem) and has left a dirty pot with oil in it in the oven for over a week. She also says she only likes to clean with wet paper towels and doesn't believe that disinfectants/cleaners like Lysol do any good because they leave 1% of germs there. So far, I've been doing the cleaning and taking out the trash without saying anything, but I don't know how much I can take. We signed a lease for a year (I didn't know her be4 she was a friend of a very good friend, so I guess I could be blamed) so I'm stuck here. She's not an outright slob and I don't want to be a *****, but she's very inconsiderate. What do i do?

That is what I am learning in Spanish class but really, the only people I hear say that are the ones that learned Spanish as a second language. The native speakers all seem to nod or say something else.

Our Lord God Jesus Christ's Prayer begins:
"Our Father Who is in Heaven,
Hallowed Be Your Name.
Your Kingdom come; Your will be done
ON EARTH (!!) AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. ..."

Many highly spiritual God-conscious Humans know well that
the Paradise Father-Infinite I AM has NO outside and NO beyond. Thus ALL living Humans now on earth are living INSIDE of HIM. "In God we live and move and have our Being !" "I am a son of I AM and in I AM; AS JESUS IS I AM here !"

Theologians also call this Truth: God's Omnipresence and Ubiquity. Also remember that the Absolute of time is Eternity and the Absolute of space is Paradise and the Absolute of You is GOD ...

If you now see this Earth as our kindergarten Heaven, what purpose(s) or goal(s) are you dedicating your life here to help bring more of God's Light and Life to each and every individual Human son of God now living on earth? To make the Family Kingdom of Heaven here more realized in souls and minds? Peace & progress

My widowed father has recently married a lovely woman who was previously divorced. My siblings and I are adults, married with young kids ourselves, and now we have adult step-siblings. Our step-siblings' father (who lives about 6 hours away) has terminal cancer, so now we're wondering if we should plan to go to his funeral, if/when it comes to that. We would like to establish good relationships with our step-siblings, whom we barely know. They all live long distance from us, and we only met most of them the weekend of the wedding. Logistically finding childcare and taking time off from work, etc will be a hassle for us, but just wondering what the etiquette is for this. Thanks in advance.

About a month ago I was at a bar with a couple of my friends. We were all just minding our own business and this man who must have been in his sixties kept coming over and bothering us. He was so drunk he could barely stand and he absolutely reeked of mariuana. Also, he was carrying this small cooler around with him and he kept throwing it around, and he kept knocking over chairs. At one point, I was at the table by myself, and he got right in my personal space and actually tried to have a feel. The waitress finally told him to leave me alone. My friends and I left the bar to get away from him. What should I have done?

A relationship with Christ is dynamic. He has something new for you everyday. God does not change but people and the world we live in change. Religion is rigid and unchanging. How does a relationship with Christ fit into religion?

That people seem to be more keen to lesbians then they are gay men. Especially speaking in terms of men who are homophobic or very outspoken with a dislike of gay men and their lifestyles, but then go home and pop in their girl-on-girl porn DVD.

Personally having never smoked, i was looking forward to the smoking ban, being able to gou out and breathe decent air and not stinking of smoke when i got home.
However now that you walk down the street, and see hoards of people standing outside pubs, half drunk, smoking , being loud and generally doing what you do when your drunk, i think that it is now a bad idea, as it doesn't really paint a good picture for the upcoming generations who have influential minds. As well as not looking good with tourists.

Do you see any other disadvantages for this?

Two men lived their lives. Each of them believed in the truth of the same set of commandments, and each of them followed these commandments for their whole lives. Both of them had the same set of beliefs and convictions. But when they died, one went to heaven and the other went to hell. How can you explain this?
