Why are they posting spanish language questions where 99.9% of the users speak only English? Shouldn't there be only English here, and only spanish there?

A question for christians or someone with knowledge of christianity?

My son and I were discussing the dates for his football games over the coming season. Suddenly he pipes up and says,
"why is Jesus' birthday always on Dec 25th but the day he died on the cross changes every year?"
"Good question." I said, "I have know idea, but I bet I can find someone who does know!"
So, does anyone out there know the answer?

Is this what they call 'rough justice'?

If one is greedy and selfish enough to hide a large bar of fruit and nut in the hen house under a bucket - and then it is eaten and the wrappings placed back neatly by persons (as yet) unknown - is that justice for my wickedness?

Or is the perpetrator of this vile crime a vigilante who needs to be taken to task and shown the errors of their ways - suggestions of punishments please - surely the eating of ones secret stash is punishment enough without adding insult to injury by leaving the wrappings just so?

Further information : I do not have proof - we can rule out the chickens (they are the only females that I know that don't like chocolate) - but the suspicion is laying heavily at the feet of my husband at the moment.

ATHEISTS, how can you be so blind not to see?

The christian God required animal sacrifices in the old testament, BLOOD, and he was pleased with burnt offerings.
(READ THE BIBLE IS ALL THERE)
Then in the new testament he decided to kill himself, to show his love, ONLY TROUGH BLOOD HE COULD FORGIVE, IN HIS IMMENSE POWER NOTHING ELSE COULD WORK, IT HAD TO BE BLOOD!!!!
After he killed himself, he forgive us of our sins, however , and here is the catch, you need to BELIEVE in this nonsense, if you do not believe you will be sent in a hell, to suffer , for all eternity.
BUT REMEMBER he loves you!!!! there is nothing he can do, you must accept this belief or get tortured!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahh, Christianity is so logic, it makes so much sense!!
How can you not see that?

Why do people assume the whole African continent is poor?

They even think that Africa is a country without even realizing that it is a continent with about 53 countries and not all the countries are poor. The starving families which are shown on tv are only a minority who live in rural areas in villages within countries which still have war such as Sudan and Congo. Otherwise some countries have cities just like the US. And there are wealthy people who are richer than some americans.

why when it rains it pours..have others have times in life when everything goes wrong everyday..over and over?

like right now I am inundated with continual problems and getting rejection and everyone is being critical, rejecting, and very mean..there is no support..I am feeling lack of love, concern, and respect from recently deceased mom, all my siblings, my sons, the neighbors are bring inconsiderate and starting vicious untrue rumors, and acquaintenances are not caring much at all that I am suffering.

I am a pretty nice person having been told by hundreds I am nice, sweet,. kindhearted with a heart of gold. Are these things punishments from god for some reason..or is he wanting me to only turn to Him..it is causing me to hate people as they have been very mean and selfish lately and everyone keeps yelling at me..I am feeling like life is not worth it but I keep on living,,how can I have joy and happiness in the midst of so many problems..please advise me how to handle this and rise above it and tell me are times like these common?

I farted while reading text from the Bible at church?

At church last Sunday- I was at the pulpit reading text from the Bible before the pastor's sermon. Suddenly- I farted loudly and smelly unexpectedly. The fart rumbled and echoed in the church. What do you think the people thought of it? Nobody said anything. I'm 19.
