Look at the world, the state it's in. Yes, there are happy, great parts of life, without a doubt, however being that this is most likely the only physical life we will ever experience, with all of the negative human conditions that exist, can this quite possibly be Hell?

What other universe or life do you get shootings, killings, gangs, drugs, shady characters, worshipping of money and corporations at the expense of the individual, etc etc.

This place seems to glorify satan and his fallen angels, if such a thing exists, to a degree, and what not.

I don't believe in that really, but I do believe that human beings in general have something evil about them. This life must be hell.

But I guess, a very different hell from the Christian I'm hell.

Let's just say, a weird type of hell.

I'm not depressed or anything, I just think this place is strange at best, complicated, totally totally unjust, and just generally godless and soulless.

My daughters are 4 and 7. I want them to have that excitement of believing that santa comes down the chimney with loads of presents for a few more years. However, my bf has two kids that are 11 and 12, and i know they know the truth but would never spill the beans. How old are kids when they figure this out?

All I hear these days is, "I'm proud to be ," especially from purported Christians. Last I checked, pride was sinful and yet everyone is bragging about how much pride they have. What's up with that?

A police officer who was recorded berating a motorist earlier this month has lost his job. Follow the link there is a video.

The board of aldermen voted 5-0, with one member absent, to fire Sgt. James Kuehnlein on Monday. The vote was cast in a session closed to the public and wasn't announced until Wednesday, when a notice was posted at the City Hall of this tiny south St. Louis County community.

this politician in germany wants to set an expiration date on marriage.

her reasoning is that it will prevent people from staying in "loveless" marriages and encoraging people to stay together because they want to not because they feel it is "safe".

I've heard my church use the term "woman in waiting" as a term for a "kept" Christian woman who is prepared for marriage and waiting to be found. If this is the true definition, than I am indeed a "woman in waiting" or a "lady in waiting".

My concern is if this term is used somewhere else? Someone told me that a "woman in waiting" deals with a brothel or a prostitue. Is this true?

I'll be very careful how I use the term until I find out.

Any clue anyone?

BERLIN (Reuters) - Bavaria's most glamorous politician -- a flame-haired motorcyclist who helped bring down state premier Edmund Stoiber -- has shocked the Catholic state in Germany by suggesting marriage should last just 7 years.

ADVERTISEMENT


Gabriele Pauli, who poses on her web site in motorcycle leathers, is standing for the leadership of Bavaria's Christian Social Union (CSU) -- sister party of Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative Christian Democrats (CDU) -- in a vote next week.

She told reporters at the launch of her campaign manifesto on Wednesday she wanted marriage to expire after seven years and accused the CSU, which promotes traditional family values, of nurturing ideals of marriage which are wide of the mark.



"The basic approach is wrong ... many marriages last just because people believe they are safe," she told reporters. "My suggestion is that marriages expire after seven years."



After that time, couples should either agree to extend their marriage or it should be automatically dissolved, she said.



Fifty-year-old Pauli, twice divorced, is a maverick intent on shaking up her male-dominated and mainly Catholic party which has dominated Bavarian politics since World War Two.



"This is about bringing ideas into the CSU and starting a discussion," she told German television on Thursday after she had unleashed a wave of criticism from other politicians.



Former foe Stoiber said she did not belong in the CSU and European lawmaker Ingo Freidrich dismissed her views.



"She is diametrically contradicting our Christian, ethical values," Freidrich said.

Peter Ramsauer, head of the CSU in Germany's parliament, compared Pauli's ideas to "the dirt under your fingernails".

Pauli, who attracted attention earlier this year when she posed for a magazine wearing long black latex gloves, was at the centre of a snooping scandal which eventually led to Stoiber, Bavarian premier for 14 years, saying he would stand down early.



She said his office tried to obtain details about lovers and alcohol consumption to use against her.



The CSU will elect Stoiber's successor as party head at a conference next week. He will be replaced as state premier in early October.

Viewed as a party rebel, Pauli stands almost no chance of winning next week's vote. The contest has been fought mainly between Bavarian state economy minister Erwin Huber and German Consumer Minister Horst Seehofer.

The popularity of Seehofer, a 58-year-old married father of three, has suffered from the disclosure that he had been having an affair with a younger woman who recently had his baby.
