Someone said how odd of God to choose the Jews. Why did God pick the Jews? Why did he choose them?

He's jelous. He admits it. You have to obey him, humans were created to worship him and him alone, you must be obedient is everything you do and he destroys the world when he gets mad. I think someone needs a hug.....

It really upsets me to find out that I am chauvinistic, I wish I wasn’t and there is still a part of me that isn’t. A part of me that is a true feminist who believes in equality and morally know its not right. Still a part of me, is chauvinistic, at first it was just extreme pride but now its chauvinism. Life has enforced these beliefs because I see the strength and heartache it takes to be a women in this world and even in the past Great woman like Queen Elizabeth and if you know African history Candance. I know of great women in my life and of greater ones now. I see disrespectful guys are now and feel that they are unworthy of their place in life. I even compared Great people like Alexander and Elizabeth and who is better. Alexander is known for conquering and being Greedy , Elizabeth is known for being a Great Queen who defended her country and ruled despite she wasn’t even suppose to , and England never had as much power as it did when she was ruling. Who sounds more honorable. Even today you will find more good women then you will find men. You would even trust a women with your children ,sooner than a man. I am torn and don’t know what to do about this.


What should I do about this?

How would you react or what would you say if your wife or girlfriend felt this way?

Don’t make stupid comments it only enforces my beliefs because guys are usually the ones who make them.

A gentleman walks into Andy's Sheriff Dept., he ask to speak with the sheriff and Andy tells this gentlemen he was the sheriff and when the man does not like what the sheriff has to say, the gentlemen demands to speak with the town judge and Andy explains to him that the judge office is closed and he could not speak with the judge at the moment, with much persistance, Andy takes off his sheriff's badge and puts on the judges robe and then the gentleman insist to speak to the town's Mayor and Andy tells him that the Mayor's office was closed and the man again demands to see the towns Mayor and Andy then takes off the judges robe and puts on the Mayor's hat. Funny episode.

3 Roles, but One person. 3 Roles, yet One God. Jesus just humbled himself to the will of the Father until all things are finished, then he will sit as the Father. No wonder Jesus said if you have me, you have the Father. This man failed to realize he could not get to the mayor with out going through the sheriff

Are there such things as go-go dancers any more? I think it would be interesting to work at a place like that but i would never want to be nude. I'd just like to prance around in skimpy outfits and get paid for it. lol

You do know that Halloween, All Hallows' Eve, is a REAL old-time religious holiday, right? Celebrated in many pagan cultures for centuries. Why do Christians then feel that it's okay to celebrate?

I want to hear people PERSONAL (not religious) thoughts on this.

Are you going to tell me that because YOU think it's gross, two people can't be happy?

Or because you don't want to raise your kid to not be a douchebag who makes fun of people because they are different, two or more people can't live in peace?

You obviously know where I stand on the subject, but where do you stand and why?

Megan is 12 and she wants to go trick-or-treating for Halloween. I want to get or fix her a great costume because this will be her last year to go. I am looking for a unique idea. She is mature for her age and doesn't want to look rediculous in front of her friends. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have been on a lot of the costume sights and nothing has caught our eye so far. She did consider beign Marylin Monroe, but has changed her mind. Please Help!!!!!!!!!

I used to be an atheist before but thankfully not now, 100 % believer now and the atheists here that have not converted yet are only here for one reason, to learn more about God because they are fence sitters still not sure if they want to jump in. REAL atheists like I used to be would never hang out in a place such as this that is full of religion. in their questions and answers they will deny it but that is only so their friends that see their questions an answers will not make fun of them.they will put up a very strong anti-God front but a front is all it really is.....100 % here are secretly fence sitters,..no true atheists here so keep preaching, they really do want to hear it....and to all of the fence sitters here please do not ever give up the search.............you will find !!! and it is worth it, I converted from being atheist 30 years ago and trust me I have never regretted it. God's love is awesome and he really does answer my prayers now !!!!

Last night I was contacted to go to the library and look for a certain book. When I got to the library I was appalled to find this book in the fiction section. I immediately went over to the librarian with the book and asked "how can this book not be considered nonfiction?" The book was entitled "The Cat in the Hat." She told me that it is not real. I said that it was. I told her how the Cat in the Hat telepathically contacted me the previous night and told me that he was real and that he lived a million light years away. He told me that he contacted Dr. Seuss telepathically about this event in his life and that is where he came up with the story, whether he realized it or not. I told her that if she could not prove me wrong that it had to be true. She told me that I was crazy. Why do you think that people choose to reject the truth?

I always wonder what people are talking about when they bring up the "evolution debate"...

What debate?

America is one of the most religiously conservative nations in the world... and 95% of our scientists (including Christians) believe evolution is good science.

Why then are we fighting its teaching in schools?

P.S. 95% is a real statistic - look it up if you don't believe it

I ask this because I have been to Eastern Orthodox churches where the priests are married. I have been to Protestant churches where the ministers are married.
Rabbis get married too.
Catholic priests seem to be the only ones in all of Christendom that do not marry.

Okay I know the typical meaning is a black person who acts white but I am a person who has been called a Oreo for 6 years now and I really don't understand why. I listen to old school, rock, world, techno etc. I have a very diverse group of friends. I am told I speak like a white person and I can't dance. Does that make me a Oreo? I have been called that by alot of people (with a few nasty remarks) at school since I moved their when I was 12 and even a few family members basically call me an Oreo. I know I am weird but I don't think I act white or black... I just act like myself. How exactly does one become a Oreo?
