So Sunday is actually the day of the sun which is borrowed from pagans.
And in the Bible it's said clearly that Jesus rose from the grave after Sabbath in the first day of the week.=>Sunday is the first day of the week and Saturday the seventh.

So that means that on Sundays we should not go to church. We should go on Saturdays...right? Can someone explain it to me? i'm lost...lol

The Devil could do everything the Bible does, plus a little better, and then HIS book would be the best seller EVAR! Why doesn't he? Or Stephen King? Or Richard Bachman? Or Kephen Sting?

WHat Would Jesus Wear?

Chacos or Teva?

Please don't say Birkenstock because my personal goD is fond of synthetic uppers with Vibram soles....

In related news - if Jesus had Gore-Tex boots, would he have needed to walk on water...

I believe in the Constitution and Bill of Rights, something the Christians and their "Christian President" appear to hold in disrepute because it doesn't alloow them to run over all other religions.

or over here!
That's some of the great brit humor from a question I asked a while back. Thought I'd pop over again.
Can someone give me a brief explanation of your old age pensioner system?
Is it like our SS, where you contribute over time and receive back based on earnings and age of retirement?
Is it a real pension just based on age or years worked, totally funded by the government?
Any other programs as a support system for us old ones?
(I hope that "brit" is not considered derogatory, if so I apologize)

I hate my nose, it causes me a lot of anxiety. It just looks terrible. But I keep thinking to myself "what are you complaining about, there is so much to be grateful for in your life, and ok, you look bad from the side, but from the front you look fine"....

And anyway if I did go ahead and get a 'new' nose, how would I explain it to my parents, sisters, brother, friends... i'd just be labeled as vain and shallow forever in their minds... I can see it coming up in arguments.. "well you changed your nose!"... and it's as if i'd lose my dignity... i've given in to the world in which we live... but damn it i hate my nose... maybe it's better to be ugly then beautiful anyway...

So has anyone had a 'nose job', any advice etc? Thanks

en el país.


i know it translates into "in the country" but is there another meaning it can translate to?

"in the country" is turning out to be in the wrong context over and over again.

thank you!

Thank-you for answering my last post, I did read them all. However I did learn that Athiests claim to be spiritual, I would be interested to hear their definition of being spiritual without a higher order of intelligence being involved. I have never met anyone who has converted to athieism with any dramatic life changing testamonies.

Look forward to your answers :-)

I will start, I find when protestants argue against Catholics they use a book that Catholics under inspiration from God put together.

The churches are at best 400 years old and are founded on the teachings of men not God. The bible further was pulled apart and fashioned to meet a mans ideology (something protestants love to accuse JWs of)

Further all the little chick track testimonials of people on this site need to be looked at in light of the truth. Try www.catholic.com, realisticly dont you think that the people who had the full bible for 1200 years before Martin Luther butchered it can answer every little snippet you put forward.

I'm a pretty shy, quiet and very soft-spoken person so I'll only open up to a select few people. The girls I'm comfortable around were talking to me about why my ex-boyfriend broke up with me. Before I told them, I glanced around and behind me to make sure no one else was around and said, "Honestly...it was the sex issue" however, I said "sex issue" REALLY quietly. After I said that, a few of the girls giggled for a second. They totally were on my side and supported me. But why do you think they giggled?

My friends and I stumbled across this website last night. It claims:
"Marry Our Daughter is an introduction service assisting those following the Biblical tradition of arranging marriages for their daughters."

Just browsing through it and reading the FAQ, I thought it was for real. But then I read the "testimonials" and was convinced it's fake. Some of my friends still insist it's serious.

I know it seems out-there, but there are still nutters in this world.

Opinions?

How do you get up in the morning without going back to bed or pressing the snooze button 15 times before actually getting up? How can you just get out of bed the first time you wake up?

How To Forgive...(WOW)

One day a while back, a man, his heart heavy with grief, was
walking in the woods. As he thought about his life this day, he
knew many things were not right. He thought about those who had
lied about him back when he had a job.

His thoughts turned to those who had stolen his things and cheated
him.

He remembered family that had passed on. His mind turned to the
illness he had that no one could cure. His very soul was filled
with anger, resentment and frustration.

Standing there this day, searching for answers he could not find,
knowing all else had failed him, he knelt at the base of an old oak
tree to seek the one he knew would always be there. And with tears
in his eyes, he prayed:

"Lord- You have done wonderful things for me in this life. You have
told me to do many things for you, and I happily obeyed. Today, you
have told me to forgive. I am sad, Lord, because I cannot. I don't
know how.
It is not fair Lord. I didn't deserve these wrongs that were done
against me and I shouldn't have to forgive. As perfect as your way
is Lord, this one thing I cannot do, for I don't know how to
forgive. My anger is so deep Lord, I fear I may not hear you, but I
pray that you teach me to do this one thing I cannot do - Teach me
To Forgive."

As he knelt there in the quiet shade of that old oak tree, he felt
something fall onto his shoulder. He opened his eyes. Out of the
corner of one eye, he saw something red on his shirt.
He could not turn to see what it was because where the oak tree had
been was a large square piece of wood in the ground. He raised his
head and saw two feet held to the wood with a large spike through
them.

He raised his head more, and tears came to his eyes as he saw Jesus
hanging on a cross. He saw spikes in His hands, a gash in His side,
a torn and battered body, deep thorns sunk into His head. Finally
he saw the suffering and pain on His precious face. As their eyes
met, the man's tears turned to sobbing, and Jesus began to speak.

"Have you ever told a lie?" He asked?

The man answered - "yes, Lord."

"Have you ever been given too much change and kept it?"

The man answered - " yes. Lord." And the man sobbed more and more.

"Have you ever taken something from work that wasn't yours?" Jesus
asked?
And the man answered - "yes, Lord."

"Have you ever sworn, using my Father's name in vain? "

The man, crying now, answered - "yes, Lord."

As Jesus asked many more times, "Have you ever"? The man's crying
became uncontrollable, for he could only answer - "yes, Lord."

Then Jesus turned His head from one side to the other, and the man
felt something fall on his other shoulder. He looked and saw that
it was the blood of Jesus. When he looked back up, his eyes met
those of Jesus, and there was a look of love the man had never seen
or known before.


Jesus said, "I didn't deserve this either, but I forgive you."

It may be hard to see how you're going to get through something,
but when you look back in life, you realize how true this statement
is.

Read the following first line slowly and let it sink in.

If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it.

Lord I love You and I need You, come into my heart, today. For
without You I can do nothing.



When Jesus died on the cross, he was thinking of you! If you are

one of the 7% who will stand up for him, forward this with the
Title 7.%


93% of people won't forward this.

Okay, yet again I will explain this because clearly some people don't seem to be able to use the "search" function. People are still asking "Why are Atheists in R&S?"

--Atheists do not believe in a god/goddess, but they can be spiritual. This is Religion and Spirituality, not just a Religion section.
--Atheists discuss religion because a lot come from a religious backgrounds. Also, some just like the topic like other people enjoy discussing art, works of poetry, music and the like. Religion is just another work of humanity.
--Atheists are entitled to an opinion just like religious folk are entitled to an opinion. We're all human.
--Atheists do not believe. They just don't-- they aren't secretly denying something. How hard is that to realize? It's as difficult for an Atheist to believe in God as it is for you to believe in unicorns.

So did I miss anything? Can someone please add something else (kindly, this isn't an arguement)?
