Dear Ms ,

I'm willing to bet that the rest of the year would be great. I know I still have a lot to catch up on, but I will try my best to get on pace. That's the consequence I get for coming in this late, right? I hope you won't lose patience over me, I can't guarantee that I will be a perfect student, but I will put an effort in my studies.

Please be aware that I don't have all my books with me yet, but I will sometime next week. What should I do for the time being? Please lend me your guidance Take care and God Bless.

Sincerely,


----
I just got into a new school and well... I'm sending this to my American Lit teacher as a common courtesy on my behalf. How can I give more 'oomph' to this letter without sounding so formal or childish? Also, please check my grammar, I can only hope to God that it's alright. Thank you in advance. :)

I've heard before that people who are married a long time end up looking somewhat alike. The link to an interesting article follows. So, to those of you who were/are married a really long time, do you think you've begun to look alike?

God gave us life, the price of sin is death.

Humans where not asked to be born, we just where. But don't we have the right to die in peace if we reject life?

What is that?

My fiance tends to think that living without a belief in God is a depressing way to exist. He thinks living without "hope" for a better afterlife, or any afterlife at all, is a waste of life.

I want him to try to understand that I am full of hope, it just isn't the false kind of hope he has.

I know it means something not to mention I also have experienced a soulmate connection regarding reno. And then one night I decided to burn a candle and I left it in my sink and when I went to sleep some being was trying to get me. It's all so uncanny but yet falling into place. Can someone explain what is happening? My sister says I am in the 5th dimension. (whatever that is suppose to mean)

I read about some baseball player who said he didn't believe dinosaurs ever existed, because they weren't mentioned in the bible... Is this a religious thing, or a stupid thing? Also... are there really people who think the earth is only 6000 years old, depsite the preponderance of evidence contrary to it?

The closest one that i found not liking too much was Jacob just b/c of the way he tricked his father Issac into giving him his blessing that was originally was for his brother Essau. Again any replies that say god is a myth or a fairytale will be ignored. I'm looking for an answer to my question not if you believe that god is real or not.

Some of you are trying start an honest debate. Some of you are looking for people who agree with your point of view. SOME of you are just using your questions as a chance to take a cheap shot at someone's beliefs.

Why do you ask questions here in the R&S section

2007-10-04 06:23:36 · 20 answers · asked by Anonymous in Religion & Spirituality

why do or why don't you think so?
If you do think so which mix is the most attractive to you?

I have been called Makeitright for well over three to four months. I changed because there was so much confusion over daisyduker. It is no longer on my profile or in my avatar at all. Yet, I noted this morning, they have listed me as daisyduker instead of my makeitright name.
Any suggestions? What is going on?

I also posted this on Yahoo for help as well, but I trust this site more.

Because were changing and we just don't really share anything anymore. But I'm afraid that if I choose to stop hanging out with him because I don't enjoy the time we spend together anymore that he think more negatively of Christians then he does now. I don't want to be responsible for leading him away from Christ, despite our differences. What should I do. I don't want this relationship anymore, But i don't want to leave, because he will say something like "wow! Thats a really "Christian" thing to do!" Help! What should I do?

What would it be or sound like or what kind of lyrics would it have?

I was watching a commercial last night.One of those Christian inspirational albums with everything from Christian rock to Christian jazz and so on, all on one album and it got me to thinking..

Christians really have a great ad campaign and really have everything they need to keep the "faith" including their own brand of music.Sure, Atheists have science books, rationality, and often times a higher IQ.But, what about music to inspire free thought that is void of deities and magical tales of miracles and winged men who float in the clouds?Where are the Atheist commercials that send a message of peace and love through simple humanity?

I mean, how does it feel to take what an old book tells you at face value?

Why don't you question what your pastors /ministers /preachers tell you? Some of you bash evolution, but in those rants you show a total lack of understanding, arising from only reading on evolution from religious pamphlets.

And more important....WHY DO YOU TITHE?? Why don't you give that money to relief organizations not related to churches?

Doesn't it look weird to you to see your pastors /preachers /ministers living in rich houses and driving expensive cars?

Does SALVATION entail relinquishing the earnings of your hard work? Do your kids deserve this?

What would Jesus think of wealthy ministers and pastors?

THINK....

After watching the zeitgeist movie I have been curious as to the relationship between Jesus and the "Sun God." There were a lot of interesting points made, but it was rather bias. Do you know of any good literature that explains why Jesus is believed to be the Sun God and any literature that refutes this point of view? I want to learn about both sides of the issue here. I'm not a one-sided man. If you don't know of any literature, then web links are fine. It is just that I prefer books over the internet. Thank you.

And I have found some books on this topic but not many. Your input is greatly appreciated.

Such as online poker, small stakes just for fun. Nothing major where one is gambling his own savings away, but just for the enjoyment and fun of it.

How can we expect other people to follow our religion when we don't do the same ourselves? We hear about it every Sunday in church. The call to bring people into a relationship with God, yet we sin about as bad as they do, and call ourselves children of God. Everyone sins, everyone does wrong, I get that, but I think it's time we take a stand and show people the love and compassion Jesus is all about. Maybe if people could see God in us, they'd change..
Just my thoughts. Is anyone with me here?

what is the logic in making sex a "dirty" thing?

2007-10-04 06:08:05 · 17 answers · asked by bluebear 3 in Religion & Spirituality

Why does the Watchtower discourage teenagers to go to college or university to follow their dreams. In the magazines from the Watchtower they indirectly make youngsters feel guilt from wanting to have high paying careers that require years of study or even wanting to be in Sports or acting or singing careers.

They don't directly say you can't be a Doctor or a Lawyer or a proffesional football player, but they do make you feel guilty for wanting such things.

But the funny thing is that Jehovah's Witnesses, although discourage their kids in becoming wealthy and popular, JW's do enjoy going to the movies, concerts, sport events. So they don't want JW's to be actors, etc, but at the same time they enjoy that other humans have dedicated their lifes to these type of careers.

What is that?
