I am from NC. In the south we tend to say ma'am a lot. Just curious to know if other regions around the US use this term also.

Thanks!

Such as when you admit to doing something silly..I find people are not as angry when they find you tell them honestly what/why you did something.

Why is this still going on in the U.S.? How did you feel about it? Did you do anything to change it? Is it still happening now at that school? Have you thought about doing or saying anything in an effort to make a change?

(I'm not just thinking of the Jena 6, I'm also thinking of the places I've heard about that have separate black and white proms - wtf???)

So I understand that it is strictly written as a sin for humans to perform in homosexual behavior, but why not for animals? I think its crude to take every word of the Bible literally especially on this subject matter. Animals have a place in heaven as well as humans, so do you believe that animals whom are gay will go to hell? And dont try and deny that this act doesnt exist. There is MUCH proof to the contrary. Click this link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6066606.stm. So why is it ok for SOME of God's creation to be homosexual and for others to not? I understand that animals arent able to "make decisions" but any Gay person I've known doesnt "decide" to be gay either. Its in their innate nature, as it is with many other mammals. Please explain why its ok for one species and not the other when we are all a part of the same beautiful kingdom?

Yes, parents are always going to brag about their kids at work, and to be quite honest, they have a right to. However, my mom says this woman (we'll call her Jane) brags about things that she probably shouldn't be bragging about. Apparently, Jane has two sons who are very into and "very good at" (according to her) baseball and wrestling. One day Jane was telling my mom and their co-workers about how one of her sons had failed a class and the teachers told her he'd have to go to summer school. But then, Jane also added "And I told them to shove it because it would cut into his baseball season and colleges look down on that sort of thing! Baseball is the only thing he's got going for him! I'm so proud of my baby!". She also brags that her other son has a scholarship to his university because he doesn't have peripheral vision in one eye..... Correct me if I'm wrong, but I didn't know that's something one usually brags about.

Jane obviously drives my mom crazy! Any advice for her?

How can Christians claim that they serve a God of love when the bible is packed full of killings and slaughter and acts of aggression and brutal genocide against young, old, men and women alike in the name of a coersive, aggressive, jealous, vindictive and capricious "Christian" God who is as unstable as a lunatic and and as nasty as a torture loving masochist?

Ever wonder how God feels about it.?

2007-09-20 07:25:31 · 14 answers · asked by angel 2 in Religion & Spirituality

i mean a religious event of course. what if the church was holding service at the park and had invited everyone and their friends, and a pagan group had also invited everyone and their friends to have ritual that day in the same park?

would it be different if the church was having an info day, and the pagans were having a pagan pride day at the same place and time?

if you are christian, how would you feel? if you are pagan how would you feel? if you're neither, how would you feel about the park you want to take your kids for a walk to being over run with religious activities?

for perspective, please include your religious beliefs, thanks

I have always been into the Wiccan religion and I have a few books on it, well just a 'dummy' book. Can anyone please help me get started. It's very overwhelming. I love being intertwined with nature. Also, I am trying to conceive, there must be a ritual I can do for that as well. Please help!!

Then it "exists." Since it "exists" then the idea of something "not-existing" is still present.

If you go to Heaven, the "place," its like visiting another "realm" or "container" and one must ask "what outside of that container?"

So, what's outside the container called "heaven?"

God is omnipotent and omniscient (all powerful and all knowing). So that means he had the power to create the universe and knew what would happen from the time before to the time of the end, and every moment in between. Including every action that every human would ever take. So, he put a tree of knowledge in the garden of eden and then told his human creations not to eat from it, knowing full well that they would. Then he punishes them for doing what he created them, knowing they would do.

So, to remedy this, God, who is also His Son, came to Earth and required that he sacrifice himself to himself in order to cleanse his creation of sin, which he, himself created. (If God did not create sin, then the Gospel of John is wrong - "through him everything came to be, and without him, nothing came to be.")

I'm sorry, but if someone went to a shrink and switched a few nouns in the above before stating it, I think they'd be in a straight jacket faster than you can say, "Holy Writ."

I'm doing a school project. We where given 6 words and we have to find out how to say them in a different language. Every word has to be a different language. I found the first five words. But the 6th word is flowers in the Apache language. The problem is, when I looked it up on the internet, I found out there are many different languages among the Apache tribes.

I need the proper spelling and how to pronounce it.

How can I find the answer to this?
