If so, to what extent? Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Is it idolatry to be so patriotic that it is an integral part of your faith? Or is it just nice to care about your country that gives you religious freedom?

Last time I checked Judaism was the word of God and it was around before Christianity. If he is so perfect then why does Christianity exist? Does it mean that God made a mistake with Judaism, since they do not share all of the same beliefs?

Be honest to yourself while answering this qeustion...... Don't be phylosophical. You answer for yourself, instead of giving a speach to others.

I recently started a job as a waiter at a cafe. Today, when my shift was over I left. However, after leaving, I decided that I was hungry and that I wanted to eat, so I figured that I might as well go back and eat there since I haven't tried many things on the menu. Anyway, the owner of the place charged me 50% of the meal. Is that standard practise or do most places give their employees free meals. The dish I ordered was only $12. Also, I was forced to tip out the kitchen 20%?

How stupid are people? Do you really believe a TV show will tell you everything about a subject and without bias? What a bunch of simpletons Americans have become. If another person comes on this site and refers to a tv show, I will bust a gut. Am I the only one who sees the humor in this?

Why do people keep fooling themselfs..?
When deep inside they know fullwell that there is no such thing as heaven, or an after life for that mater.
Its no more than a brain wash since early childhood
thats all.
If they dare question the fact that if there is no heaven then it will be hell for them.
why let the churches do this to the young.
cant they tell them the real truth ..that the so called bible was written by men and not god...?

Before, I asked a question asking if there really are Christians who say that they're against popular and secular culture.

Well this time, I'm gonna ask those same Christians about their thoughts on the following things for these things are also a part of popular culture. Attached to them are links that show video samples of what I'm talking about.

1. Anime and Manga

2. RPGs (Role-Playing Games)

3. Popular Movies

What are your thoughts on them?

P.S.

Once again, I will not be accepting non-Christian answers.

OK so i've seen leviathan everywhere, Final Fantasy, the Bible, Devil May Cry 3, movies, Tv shows, books. Some dude asked a question that reminded me of it. All i know is it's supposed to be some monster of the sea.
I don't believe he exists, obviously,
but what do the legends/myths say of it, who/what is leviathan? and from what religion/culture is it from?

As the story goes, I married a wonderful man. I love him dearly and I believe he loves me. The plans are for me to move to Egypt with him. I am waiting on a passport and he had to go back home (Egypt) due to work purposes.
Here lately though we have been experiencing problems in our relationship.
He has these mood swings. One day he is so sweet and loving and then the next he is in such a bad mood and then starts arguments. I try not to argue back with him at all.
So when he gets like that I just leave him alone (something he told me to do). But that drives him crazy too. I get no telling how many phone calls and emails, wanting to know where I am at or why I am not online. He will tell me he loves me and such on.
He gets Sad, Happy, Mad, Happy, Sad...etc.. In that order.

If I talk about going seperate ways then he flips out and gives me this apology again and tells me he loves me. And tells me to never mention ending our relationship cuz we are together forever.

UGHHH!!!

There is this Lou Reed song that has a line that says:
"I'll take Manhattan in a garbage bag with Latin written on it that says it's hard to give a $#17 these days." I know it is a little off color, But I have always wanted to know how to actually say that in proper Latin. Any takers?

I am an Athiest and many Christians keep saying that being an Athiest is a straight path to hell. If there really is a God (and Heaven and Hell etc), eventhough I don't believe there is, would He really care if people believed in Him or not if they lived a good life? You keep saying how loving and forgiving and accepting your God is towards everyone, so in the end would it really matter and would God really care if you believed or not, if you were a good, honest, kind person etc.? Just a thought...

At first I thought it was Indo-European simply because all the other languages from Northern Europe are, but after looking at a copy of The Kalevala I'm starting to have my doubts.

Disability
Question Details: I am 80% compensated from the VA and i still work for the fed govt now, however i am going out on medical disability retirement. The question i have is this; on the OPM forms for disability they ask about if i am receiving any type of compensation from the VA. I am to assume that they mean as a retiree from the military for which i am NOT, so will my receiving money from VA affect my case for disability from civil service. I am under FERS...THANKS...Tony
