I put a question on Yahoo Answers about a Yorkshire pudding mix. I only had two replies to my question to which one was in French. As I don't understand the comment or know anyone that does, can anyone translate in English what the reply was. The answer was.......C'est vraiment pas la bouffe anglaise ! Le meilleure de la nourriture est en France !

I came to know that people can still go to heaven based on their actions....

So does that mean Christianity is only for those who keep sinning??and for those who cannot keep control on their actions?? and do all bad deeds??
and does that mean christianity is a short cut to heaven??

Ever wonder what religious people in Taiwan get up to?http://www.pigsofgod.org/

Shouldn't religions encourage people to be compassionate? In reality, it is quite often the opposite.

I'm a christian, so fellow christians there is no need to answer this question, I already know. I'm purposing this question to anyone else that would like to answer.

Now after searching the internet up and down, trying to find some scientist to explain how the universe came into exsistance, all I found was this.

"All of our understanding of the very early universe (cosmogony) is speculative. No accelerator experiments currently probe sufficiently high energies to provide insight into this period."

So basically stating that scientist simply do not know right now. So how can you be so sure of your science if your logic is simply "faith based logic." Truth be told there is no such thing as "logic" when it comes to the unexplainable, and you have just as much "faith" in your science, as does a religous person and there God. So please.....explain.

Mohammad said that Allah is the same god that the Israelites worship and most scholars agree that the Koran is the same account as the Old Testament, so doesn't it naturally follow that Allah = Christian God as well since Christianity is based off of Judaism? We are all worshiping the same god, right?

I just have a quick question and before I ask it I want to set some guidelines. I am a Christian and am not here to bash you or convert you. I also would like it if you did not answer my question with another question. Also I am not here to bash you and showing you respect so I would hope you will do the same and anyone showing disrespect on here no matter what side you fall on just goes to prove why noone would want to believe in what you do. The question is what does an atheist do to better the country or moral stand points on things like volunteering or helping out someone in need? I'm not asking this to be a dumb question or put you down I honestly want to know the answer.

unreleastic expectations from its current Yahoo Answers model, with the obligatory absurd punitive measures derived from flawed expectations?

Or do you use Google or other portals for all your other service needs, knowing that Yahoo may delete everything of yours out of the blue one day, all because some Answers users are way too uptight?

Religion and Spirituality is the primary category where these absurdities come into play, why do you think that is compared to the other categories which seem less likely to be a lightning rod for reporting campaigns?

I work in healthcare and am constantly reminding my nurse aides NOT to do this to people. They think it is no big deal, but I can't stand for them to talk to people this way. Am I wrong?

The first time I met her was in June when she was in the hospital, and she was so out of her head that she didn't know anybody. She's ok now and back in the nursing home. My husband says sometimes she knows the family, other times not, but I still feel like we should get her something for Christmas. What do we get her? I'll have to do the shopping, my husband won't.

Some idiot in the year above my brother at school (he's 14) gave him some 'great' advice about how to masturbate without using your hands. The technique he shared involved lube, a desk fan, bubble wrap and some parcel tape. The resulting experiment by my brother was uncovered (by my mother no less) when he screamed after it nearly ripped his genitals off.

The guy who gave him this advice obviously thought he wasn't gullible enough to do it, but my brother is currently in a hospital bed being administered morphine for the pain.

How the hell do i teach this idiot (the guy who gave him the advice, as opposed to the idiot of a brother who actually did it) a lesson that'll stick without getting arrested?

Please advise.

Oh, and feel free to laugh, because once we were all sure he was going to be okay, me and my dad did too.

why do people believe in something that is so obviously fake? they make fun of ancient civilizations who thought there were gods of thunder, and love, and oceans etc...isn't that pretty much what christians, catholics, and almost all other religions do?? blame some sort of nonexistent entity as an explanation for their mishaps and shortcomings?

Are you kidding me? I was referred to as a "fundie moron" in an answer I received from a previous question, not to mention, small-minded. Ok folks, I am extremely well-versed. There is absolutely NOTHING moronic or small-minded about me. Am I ignorant? In some instances, I am ignorant when it comes to certain subjects/issues, which I, in turn, conduct vigorous research in an effort to "school" myself in that particular area. There's no logic in the concept/cliche' that "ignorance is bliss." The fact that I am a devout Christian woman does not make me moronic/small-minded. Throwing out insults and taking part in the act of name-calling is far more moronic and small-minded. Besides that, 90% of these type responses I received (and continue receiving), have tons of misspelled words. If your going to throw out insults and revert to childhood w/ name-calling, please, at the very least, have the knowledge to back your opinions.

i identify myself as bisexual but i am having second thoughts now; i think i might be gay and i've been thinking this for two weeks now. the only possiblity is that i am 80% gay and 20% straight and i never discovered my sexuality earlier on. i feel as though now that i would rather sleep with a woman than a man and that i couldn't sleep with a man again.

what do you think?

Mary was created sinless through the Grace of Our Lord. In this manner, She was the first human Vessel of the Holy Spirit. I am not equating Her with God, I am just saying that as surely as the Son of God merged with flesh in Jesus, the Holy Spirit merged with the flesh in the Holy Virgin.

Opinions?

i have been perusing the questions today, and although it seems obvious to me that harry potter is just a book, fictional, imaginative, enjoyable, and has morals, there are some frankly strange people who have banned their children from reading the books or watching the films.
have any of these people ever seen wizard of oz? read enid blyton? etc

why do they think harry potter is so evil?!
i know they will mention witches and they think we all go round eating babies and drinking goats blood, but are they that naive that they think reading a fictional tale can actually harm their children?

*sigh*

i have to admit i am becoming rather exasperated by it all, and i have a very patient nature!

so, please explain, what will reading the books and/or watching the films ACTUALLY do to christian children?

many thanks in advance for coherent and non-insulting answers - i am curious and wish to be 'educated' :)

I am sure it has made Him very sad to see and here all the hate and fighting in his name throughout the centuries up to the present. Fighting and hate were not his message. People who do this in his name are/were not true followers. His message was/is of hope, love, kindness, acceptance and forgivness. That should be the Chritians' message to the world today.

Can most of us agree on this one?
