Society & Culture - 9 September 2007

I just quit my job because a girl under me made everything hard on everyone in my department especially myself! serveral complaints were made about this one person and nothing was done, even after all the big bosses got involved. they were on my side just never wrote her up when she continued doing things wrong out of vengence! Now i feel i left my crew with a big mess. I no longer have to deal with this, just feel guilty that everyone else has to put up with it, felt there was nothing more i could do!

Hi.

I'd like to know the difference between these two sentences.

1) if i collect all of my tears "of" a thousand years
2) if i collect all of my tears "for" a thousand years

There are 2 of's in 1st sentence, so i want to use 2nd one instead.
Would it be ok?

Thank you for reading!

I'm 34 years old and I converted to Judaism when I was 20 (Orthodox conversion from the RCC Beth Din in LA). I became interested in Judaism when I was 18 and studied for 2 years to convert when I was 20. I practiced Judaism for 8 years and then left the faith when I was 28. At this point, I still believe in Hashem as G-d, but I don't want to follow all the laws that Jews have to follow. Is there any chance that the Beth Din can make a non-Jew again so that I only have to follow the 7 Noahide Laws? A rabbi asked said it was unlikely they would annul the conversion because of the length of time I practiced Judaism after my conversion. What do you guys think? Thanks,
Luke

I mean, isn't there a point where you have to say, "It just makes logical sense, and there is sufficient evidence?"

I mean you can't prove that the next time you drop a rock that it is going to fall down. It could fall straight up. But although gravity is just a "theory" shouldn't we be able to look at it as a fact, seeing as all evidence suggests that it will fall down?

And anyway... God is a giant Mr. Potato Head that lives in an onion outside the universe. He has a room full of eggs and we are all inside of one of them. Can you prove me wrong?

I mean... at what point can we allow ourselves to accept things that make sense, and that seem to properly fit the puzzle?

I went to an are exhibit in St. Louis to see Napolean. His wife's shoes were so tiny and their bed was tiny too. The clothes looked like they fit 4 ft tall people. I know Napolean was short but this was ridiculous. If people in the past were so tiny, were the war's they fought fighting for God so tiny too? Little wars that spread across Europe. But in the paintings the men looked big on the horses. Were the Painters of Early Art liars. Horses haven't changed that much. Unlike Humans. Were they trying to impress people to make it look like 1800 humans were big? Napoleans wife had shoes so tiny I thought they were doll shoes. What the heck is going on with Humans? 200 years ago they were so different from us. How can God change men in just a short period of time? How tall or short was Jesus. I suspect he must have been about 4 foot tall and in that time that must have been very tall.

I'm so skeptical about psychics. Is there anyone who had a convincing encounter with one? If so tell me your experience. Or tell me why you're like me - not believing in psychics.

Okay so a while back i decided to start reading the Bible so I can know for myself what it says. My parents raised me to believe in God so i know a lot, but not enough and i want to read it for myself. Anyways, I'm in the Old Testament, and God is really jealous and does not want us to pray to or have any gods before him. So, Jesus is the son of God and no one gets to God except through him. So we accept him as our Savior, but is it right to pray to him or ask him forgiveness, if God is supposed to be the only one we pray to? Aren't we just supposed to pray to God in Jesus' name, but not actually pray to Jesus. I hear a lot of people pray to Jesus, so is it okay? I'm kind of confused. But I know the devils are afraid of Jesus, but Jesus taught us the Lord's prayer and it's directed to God and...idk..is it okay to pray to him?

to me, it is like not so good. I mean it's better than a 5 or 6, but it's not like highly complimentary. I know it sounds trite but I also know that appearance is so so important in life. People lie and pretend like it isn't but so many people are hypocrites and seem to talk out of both sides of their mouths. Does anyone else also feel this way?

This is not a troll! I really want to know the answers.
Why is it that when a child or a very loving, warm sole passes, the explanation is something like; ‘God wanted it that way.’ Or, ‘God has his reasons.’ Or “God needs them in heaven.” Why? Isn’t heaven filled with nothing but righteous people anyway? I can’t get my head around that. Why not take a wife-beater, or a child-molester, a rapist, Adolf Hitler?
From what I can understand in the Bible, it says man has been around for about 5000 years. Then how does it account for things dating way before that?
Like how does Christianity explain Dinosaurs? Things Science says are millions of years old. The only things I can find are references to ‘Demons and Foul beasts’ or something like that.
If God has always been here, why did it take Christianity so long to come about?
What is Jesus supposed to be saving me from? It seems the world is in a much sadder state than in His time, why is He waiting to come back?

And how does the church justify modifying their beliefs?
The earth was the center of the universe. Many people died believing it wasn’t. Now the church says nothing about it.
The ‘plague’ was the scourge of God. Now we know it was tiny little creatures.
The church condemns homosexuality, yet homosexuality is recorded before there was Christianity.
So how do you do that? I really do want to know.
Is it faith? Or just what you interpret from the Bible?
This is not a homework assignment. I really want to know. I find it fascinating.

Is it because you were told that since you were little child or did you come to this belief on your own.

How come people who have loose morals and are unorthodox in how they do things( e.g moving in with girlfriend BEFORE being divorced from first wife.) materially and financially propser and they dont even consider God?

Yet I know other couples who follow the Lord and struggle like hell for everything that they have. Do you think this if fair? Or do you think apprerances are deceiving? Are there consequences for some people but not for others who willfully and blantenly do wrong?

most of you christians hold his only son hostage in the form of a jesus statue on your car dashboard facing in or out? Well, yes when you do this in fact what you are doing is telling God if get in an accident his only son sitting on your car dashboard will be killed (again) before you in an accident so what you are doing is using jesus just like putting a gun to his head to keep God from killing you in a car accident... Christians please! Put your jesus statue in a safe place in your car!

Why so much of suffering and hardship in life ?
Can't YOU give us only happiness ? What stops you? Please explain
Why should we be tested
Why should we undergo sufferings
Why should we talk truth
Why should we get a certificate from you that we are good
Why can't everyone get heaven
ACTUALLY WHAT you WANTS FROM US

You ask us to give what we have to others (poor and needy) and make them happy.... like charity etc

No you have everything.... why can't you give us everything what we want.....

Why only few get everything ......

Please stop creating us if you cannot give us everything we want ?.............

Do you govern your social life by these guidelines of the media and try your best to stay in touch with these trends:

What to wear, what not to wear? What's in fashion, what's old fashioned? What's cool and what's hot? What's 'hip n happening'? What's not 'happening' anymore? What are the trends of dating?
