Watching her in debates and reading her stance on issues, I'm reminded of blessed baby Jesus, and how much he loves us all.

Shanah tovah (happy new year) to all Jewish people on this site - and good Ramadan to all Muslims! Shalom and Salam - let us all pray for peace in our time!

(sorry I know this isn't a question, just wanted to convey good wishes)

I work with a woman who is always making snide remarks about people, talking about them behind their backs and degrating their work. I am tired of listening to her. There is no conversation unless she is talking about someone. Do I confront her about this or do I just ignore it. Should I tell the other people she does this? She acts like she is their friend when they are at work, and is terrible when they are not. Help!!! Her mouth makes for a horrible working enviornment!!!

Modern theories say its Santorini, or some other famous place.

If it was, why does no other ancient Greek or Roman writer ever mention Atlantis?
Panchaea, Hyperborea and dozens of other mythical lands turn up in all sorts of histories, geographies and stories. But Atlantis never gets even the briefest of mentions.

ok so i just found out my dad is homeless, the reason hes homeless is because his job just let every go because they were closing but they never told anyone that they were in trouble and in debt.
Then my dad had a fight with his roommate and was kicked out of his house and my dad has checks that are suppose to be sent to his old house but his roommate claims that he never got them.
Also my mom is disabled and that the person i live with, and she is not working so my 21 year old sister is working to keep the house and we are getting ready to sell but we need sometime.
My sisters hour were cut also so she not making as much and since my dad doesnt have a job he cant pay child support.

So can you pray that everything will work out and that we can keep the house long enough to sell it and that my dad can find a job and that we will just be safe and have the money that we need

thanks

We are not close, but I heard about it and will see her this weekend. The fiance was a looser, so it was a good call. But she is in her 30s and is feeling that the noose is tightening. Just how do people deal with situations like this?

Millions of people disapear off the face of the planet, a world leader comes to power and promises peace and love. Then asks you to take his mark. Will you follow him? Will you see that what we have said has come true and turn from your ways. Or will you follow him to hell? Remember our words for the time is coming when profecy will come true and you will be facing some big decisions.

Other than knock at the wood, please.

I am from Brazil and people are very superstitious there. I have brought a few with me kinda difficult to quit. For example, I always cross my fingers when I see a black bird (like a crow), to prevent bad luck. What about you?

I am an atheist and therefore do not believe in anything supernatural...although may Christians, Muslims etc think that their god is real yet laugh at those who would believe in fairies etc. What makes their god any more real?

why do people use the term female when the word they want to use is woman? do these people think it makes them sound sophisticated or do they really think that it is an appropriate application of the word? because it isn't. its disrespectful, tacky, classless, sounds ignorant and it is a misuse of the word.

I'm looking for a faith. I've never been a religious person but I've been through a hard time recently and need maybe something I can believe in.

I was bought up in a Irish Catholic family but I find catholicism has been dirtied by people who want to use it for their individual beliefs and own advantage like most other religions.
Is their any religion that doesn't judge, mock, be hypocritical and true to it's words?

to criticize Christians for their quesitions why is that? When homosexuals or muslims ask questions and Christians give negative responses they get violation notices. Why is that? For you that post negative answers to Christian questions do you recieve violations as well?

who believes that there is something out there, not sure what exactly because there is no proof either way and doesn't go to church b/c of the antics that get used as a result of being a church goer.

Think about air we breath, food we eat, water we drink they are all given back when we go to the bathroom. The body we occupy is also given back when we die.

The big picture is that Everything that we have on Earth is not ours, right? We have to give everything back when we Die.

So shouldn't we use everything to the fullest if we borrow something, which means LIFE?

I'm not talking about me but my grandmother. My grandfather does not have much longer to live and my grandmother doesn't want to deal with anything after he passes. She stopped taking care of herself and caring about herself. She said if he was sick, she might as well be sick too. She doesn't care about seeing doctors and has upcoming medical appts and wants to cancel, thinking "what's the point?" The fact is life has to go on, when a person passes even if you've been married for 63 years. I kinda understand what she means but I know there are lots of elderly widowers who are out there learning to deal with life alone. How do they do that without their husband/wife after long years of marriage?

Words right out of the Bible. I can't think of where it says that, but it is there.

someone just posted this, its what they think an atheist would say to introduce themself at a door-to-door 'preaching' of atheism.

' I think they would start something like this -

"Hi I'm Tony and I'm arrogant and full of pride and basically an idiot who can't believe in anything I can't see." '


isnt it against 'God's will' to be rude and offensivly critical of other people? hasnt this so called Christian ever heard of 'love thy neighbour' ?? calling someone an arrogant idiot is just not nice in my opinion, and if I believed in God and followed Christian teachings id never say anything like this, especially unprovoked

im not trying to start an arguement, i just dont understand!!


oh and by the way, i dont for a fact KNOW that this person is a Christian, i just assumed which i know is wrong but i can safely say this is just an example, i have seen a lot of rude Christians, of whom i knew for a fact were Christian.
