I have stuttered my entire life. At this point in my career it is really holding me back. I am being passed over for promotions and jobs because of my stuttering. I want to know what legal rights I have.

in spirits? My cousin claims to be an atheist but also believes in spirits. Why would she believe in a spiritual being if she doesn't believe in a god (or some other higher being)?

Just curious and trying to understand.

I am reposting this question because "St.Catechumen" has blocked me, and maybe other Catholics from answering the question (why would someone who says he is studying to become a Catholic block the answers of Catholics?). Following is the rest of his question:

"St. Catechumen" wrote

God took woman from within man by using man's rib. Woman then caused man to sin. Because of this, man fell. This, of course, is Adam and Eve.

God then took Man from woman, redeeming woman through His grace. This, of course, is Jesus and Mary. Christ is referred to as the Second Adam; likewise Mary is the second Eve.

Woman came from man, humans fell, Man comes from woman, and humans are redeemed. It is a perfect.

Any answers or comments?

Please, if you are Catholic, give me reasons why the Catholic church is a better choice than Protestant. I am completely sincere about this and am hoping for sincere answers in return...no bashing either denomination please.

Any possibilities? There's so much evidence for evolution. The evolution of animals seems to fit in with religion. God may have created these animals and they must have evolved. But what about humans? God created humans in human form. Can anyone help?

Isn't it about time African Americans are given reperations for slavery? No other group of people have been enslaved in a whole industry of slavery for so long, and a form of economic slavery exists to this day...

With the trillions of dollars being wasted in Iraq- just take sonme of that- it would be enough to give $1,000,000 to every African American.

If the government won't pay for it, then all whites should have a small 'black tax' taken out of their paychecks, and that money given over to African Americans.

White people owe the black man-we have held him down, kept him imprisoned in the inner cities, and put liquor stores and drugs in the cities to make sure the African American stays down.I'm white, but would favor a tax be put on my paycheck, and that money going to a pool to be distributed to all African americans.
Isn't it high time we give reperations to all African Americans?

Then you’re saying you believe in a dead guy?

And if you think he has risen...than can one say he...died...for your sins?....or just took a really deep nap?

I mean, to you he's NOT dead...so where is this wondrous sacrifice you say he made?

Do you American woman rather get your nails done at a salon or would you prefer getting them done at your home from a professional nail tech incl. all the stuff needed? I'm from Germany, just moved to TX. My sister is a prof. nail tech, too, and has her own business in mobile nail care where she visits her clients at home. Her clients really appreciate they can get their nails done at home. Would it be worth it starting a business like that here in the U.S.?

There is an absolutely beautiful transsexual girl in the office, she was a guy until about 6 months ago but now she is a beautiful girl.

She has the sexiest long ginger hair. She is wearing a tight black jumper showing her new assests, a tight knee length black skirt and black opaque tights and heels. This is the 1st time since her transformation she has worn a skirt and tights and her legs look hot.

I am falling for her in a big way and we often smile at each other. I don't know what to do, I want to ask her out what should I do?

I really don't understand the point of Christianity. It's the most ridiculous load of bull that people still buy to this day in a modern society. I think that the fact a religion exists revolving a Jewish zombie who was his own father who can walk on water and floated into the sky from his grave proves how dumb our society is.

((Of course, I'm speaking of only those Christians who deny evolution))

It seems clear that the Bible says God made man and God made land. Nothing about evolving species or shifting continents.

So what is the difference?

Or any fundamentalist, for that matter. Absolute certainty, unmoved by evidence. They have accepted the holy book, but when overwhelming scientific evidence contradicts the book it is the evidence that must be thrown out, not the book.

I dont mean to insult the position of Christ, but this is facts! I read a book about satan and Lucifer. Satanic Churchs have been 'shared' to many countries, included America. Lucifer will start the 'NEW ERA' of satan n a leader of Satanic Church! At the ends'll come, his satanic members will banish with Lucifer.

If you love your child or parent you can't divorce them. Usually you can't help but love them, but what do you do when they use you, don't respect you, and cause you to cry frequently? I know a couple of people going through this right now. It's a hard situation to deal with.

One form of scientific materialism is that matter is the essence of existence. In that view, we study matter because we study what is real, not imaginary things. This view is not in opposition to the study of meditation because our thoughts, our mind, etc. are just an expression of the essence of existence, whether we call it matter is irrelevant.

However, a stronger form of scientific materialism insist that our thoughts and our mind cannot *through meditation* participate in new fundamental laws like the ones we have in chemistry, biology, etc. In this view, the study of the mind and thoughts is only valid as long we separate it from the teaching of meditation.

Not all meditations are equivalent. Some forms of meditation has been shown to have *systematic* effects on our body and on our environment. The challenge is that we can't separate a meditation from its teaching : one is the result of the other. Usually, the teaching is provided by an independent organization.

This is like saying that although you believe in steps, but that staircases are just silly.

Or here's a better analogy:

You have a computer that is programmed to do one thing. you change a line of programming and it still does that one thing, but it does it a bit differently. So you change another line of programming. It still does the same thing, but it does it a little differently. If you change a line of programming every day, or add a line or delete a line, eventually that program will be very unlike the original program, right? Eventually, it might not do the same thing it originallly did. Eventually, a program for calculating mortality tables could become a program for, say, playing pacman.

As an Evangelical Christian, I believe our primary purpose in life is to love God and serve God. Each of us has a different way of doing that. What is your way? How are you serving the Lord?
