If I am trying to ask a question specifically to Non-Believers then it makes sense to use that term. If I meant something else I would say something else.

Can you come up with AND AGREE ON a better term for me to use if I have a question and want to learn?

This was the original question that brought it up http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AlGYG8SXo4.5AtV.H0AS_3Tsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20070912091708AAMTuh9

meaning just like the euroean union we will have the NAU comprising of canada and mexico. of course this is done to counter the emerging threat of china as a world ower because the union of canada and america and mexico will make the americas stronger. all the borders will be blown open and it will be one big continent. anyway so how many of you will be issed off when all the 100 million lus mestizos have the same currency as you and can go anywhere they want to find work. lol i bet some of the anti illegal folks will need extra helpings of pepto bismol. this is happening very soon folks. THE NEW WORLD ORDER is on us.

Ok I just got a very great job and i love the idea of my job but i dont get along with anyone that works with me. I have tried to make small talk and just dont have anything in common with these people, They talk amoung themselves and exclude me from everything, conversations, outings, everything. I have been working there for 2 months and its getting to the point where I am becoming depressed and insecure about myself as a person. i have never gone throught this before i am always a very outgoing person and make friends very easily. I dont want to quit because of the bills i have to pay and also because of the eduation that my job provides me with but its getting so hard, and i know its me because even a girlt hat started after me fit in very well and is included in everything. I really need some advice about this,
thank you so much

I have a friend getting married in a couple of weeks. She has two weddings, one Hindu wedding on Friday night and then a Non-denominational wedding on Satuday. Both weddings provide dinner. The one Saturday provides alcohol, and dancing. I was married a few months ago and they purchased a gift for me that cost $270. I am sure their second wedding is very expensive. Their first if apparently simple. They are doing to appease the grooms parents.

Not sold, because Bible was around long before book stores were a viable idea. Also the books have to be about them, no reviews or literary criticisms of their books count.

No distinction can be made between official and unofficial versions, so all those Harry Potter fakes made in China, which are like Harry Potter 9 "the Warlock's Rock", have to count. Only because when it comes to the Christ books, how can we say what's official and what's not? The Mormons probably feel their book is official and the Christians isn't. So all books have to be given equal credence. The Bible's been in tons of langages, so they're all included. But same with all the international versions of Harry Potter.

This is not intended as an insult to Christians or Harry Potter fans. This has nothing to do with how factual either book is. More books have been written about horoscopes than the theory of relativity, but we know which is nonsense and which is a governing principle of the universe.

Is this a widely held view among you, or is there in fact dissension about it as this article implies?

Charlotte, NC (Bluehost/PRWEB ) August 14, 2007 -- A reform group called The Bene Yeshua, meaning in Hebrew "children or students of Yeshua (Jesus)," believes it has proven that a core doctrine of Jehovah's Witnesses conflicts with the Bible itself.

The "1914 doctrine" of Jehovah's Witnesses has been a source of debate and controversy because it misleads adherents into believing that the first destruction of Jerusalem took place in 607 BCE instead of the scholarly accepted date of 586 BCE, excommunicating adherents that challenge it. Providing an entirely scriptural argument against the doctrine is significant because Jehovah's Witnesses argue that only the Bible should be used to establish biblical chronology.

One of the primary doctrines of the Jehovah's Witness faith is that Jesus' second coming or "presence" occurred in the year 1914, the year World War I began. Since that year, Jesus has been ruling as king, waiting to collect a small remnant of humans that will co-rule with him in heaven. Once the last human has been collected, there will be a period of worldwide hardship and suffering that culminates with Armageddon, the great war between God and the Devil.

And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.
.
Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
.
And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.
.
And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.
.
And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
QUESTION
Am I reading this right? Moses' mother was sent for, to act as wet nurse for Moses, for the pharohs daughter, after she drew Moses from the river? That's an interesting twist on the usual story of Moses. I'm assuming that Moses was sent to live in the palace as soon as he was weened

ant, and suddenly found yourself beneath a stone on one of your busiest days of work for the queen, and all the other ants saw you there, struggling to get out from under that weight, some would try to move that heavy stone because they can and often do move and carry objects much larger than their body weight. but all you can see are the stream of ants passing by you because they made an assesment of your situation and came to the only logical conclusion. To leave you there untill the life in your small body has been exhausted from the struggle to free yourself. Do you think the other ants will tell the queen and she will come to rescue you with her much larger body of strength? The queen ant, in all her glory can not lift one ounce of that stone from her faithful servant ant. But the compassionate heart of another , The King of all the kingdoms has come to you . Do you know how the king knew you were struggling to be free? and how he knew exactly where you were?

Would love to hear back some answers from everyone, as i believe this is very important to speak about as citizens of our nation. This extention will cause more wasted Billions, and probably a jump into Iran next, which will definantly send a lot of raticals in the USA, to terroristic acts here in the United states.
So why keep invading and policing? I hope to hear from a lot of people back and a lot of persoanl thoughts for and against and why?

It seem to me that the whole point of using the term "higher power" is to avoid offending and alienating people who do not believe in god(s). It is a compromise so that believers and non-believers can participate without feeling pressured.

Some of the members of these group are not religious and do consider "higher power" to mean their own better nature, their government, justice, law, whatever.

If you are offended (or even just uncomfortable) by the idea of joining a group that uses "higher power" as part of its tenets what compromise would you suggest?
