One person in particular says that Catholics are going to hell and he is the only one saved

So does this person think he is God and allowed to judge, where is the love from this person all I see is disrespect for Christians?

seems like the most of the atheists i see here do not believ e in prophets like Jesus, Muhammad etc......while I respect that, I wonder to myself where do you think these prophets came from? If you say it's man then..... do you think that man could have started this same messege and keep going all these generations? some prophets came within hundreds, thousand yrs apart from the other.What is your reason why you discredit these men who are religously historical ?............
Or if you do acknowledge their presence , how can you still deny god? Do you ever wonder though about these things and think this came from somewhere and look into it deeply even if you think that man alterd the religon for his own good ( which you would be mad at the person and not god)

What if no organised religion is correct and you are all just contradicting each other and causing wars over your views and causing alot of people heartache in your efforts to out do your opposition. Why do people have to believe in one truth?
Surely what any one person believes in their mind is enough and no one should have to fit into some regime of worship!

I absolutely believe that all religions are cults and to join them you are being brainwashed to some degree!!

Or am i blasphemus, surely following rules from a 2000 year old book is just foolish.

I probably sound paranoid but this has happened to me in two different homes and both times whatever it was left eventually. The most recent incident was in the home I live in now in the master bath. I felt like someone was watching me and everytime I went in there I would get super angry. Then I would also feel scared. It was strange because no other room affected me like this and I'm not an angry person. I bought a cross made of prismatic glass and hung it in the room and prayed that God would make whatever was in there leave and never come back. It hasn't come back - thank God but I was wondering if anyone else had any suggestions as to what to do if it happens again or how to prevent it from getting into my home in the first place.

Customer Service Please

With the wide spread of phone sales, customer service by phone and computer’s there aren’t to many people left that fear their customer service skills and what they can mean to their job. Complaints are on a sky high on how people treat the customer we can prove this by looking at Dell, Home Depot and many other companies that have been scrutinized by the media lately. I certainly do agree on many aspects with the complaints so don’t get me wrong but let us try to look at the other side of the picture.

I work in customer service at one of those large home improvement centers where I strive for customer service excellence. I love to help people and I’m even happier when they walk out with a smile or some small relief that they know what to do next. I enjoy this even though my pay is not what it use to be and even though the company’s CEO that I work for prizes himself on paying the employees over the average he still pays about half of what he use too. He makes up for this by contest and employee programs that the vast majority will never participate in nor do most care. We would rather have the salary. We are further insulted by the lack of tact, skill and care that is given to us by management. Our management that treats us less than human by writing us up and threatening our job security because we stopped someone from stealing $700 worth of merchandise and then they complained we were stalking them. Stalking does anyone really know the meaning of stalking, apparently not since it is so openly and readily used now a day.

The actual meaning according to Funk & Wagnall’s College Standard Dictionary is to: “1. To approach stealthily, for the purpose of killing, as in hunting”. Does this sound anything like what the employee had done?

Another factor to look at here is not only that the employee’s behavior is a direct reflection of how they are treated by management but is to look at the customer.

Customers are not always right and a lot of times I have noticed personally that when the customer is complaining about the employee it is usually a result of their own behavior. No I do not want to help you when you are standing their insulting, disrespecting me or putting on airs as if you are somehow better than me because you understand how a nursery plants a seed or your wife is a teacher. No we don’t want to help you when you threaten to go the competitor. Would you like directions because no matter how much you complain that we don’t have it in stock or the box is bent it is not going to make it appear and we are not going to run to another store to be spared the lose of $14.99. We simply can not do anything about it and it is not our fault. We can not force corporate to carry sears parts when we do not carry sears appliances, lawn mowers and anything else bearing Sears name. Go to Sears. We do not want to help you when you are trying to degrade us by cleaning a cushion on our hands and knees that is on clearance and being sold as is. We do not want to help you when you are yelling at us for making you wait for a whole 2 minutes while we were finishing with another customer or better yet when we didn’t tell the other customer he would have to wait because you showed up in the middle of helping them! We do not appreciate that all of the hard work and time we put forth is not only slapped down, degraded and insulted by our management, the CEO’s but then also the customers who nothing we would had done was going to make then happy. Other than maybe showing up on a street corner homeless because you felt the need to complain about something that simply did not happen or you brought on yourself and cost us to lose the right to support not only ourselves but our children.

With this I would like to thank each of the customers out there that wait patiently, don’t wait until the last minute to buy an item and get hostile because a cashier called in sick or had to take care of their husband or child due to cancer, or some other ill fate. Thank you for those who pay for their merchandise instead of shoplifting causing our hours to be cut therefore no one in the store to help you. Thank you to the customers that do come in and great us with a smile and hello! We thank every customer that treats us kindly and takes time to be pilot and are understanding to the fact we simply sold out or we don’t carry the item they are looking for.

Again let us not forget to thank the very few people left in management who also has had enough and tells the customer to go home and stop their foolish behavior because we don’t want to hear it. For all of those I thank you for the rest please stay home there is only so much headache medicine I can keep in my locker!

with young people?

As the nation’s culture changes in diverse ways, one of the most significant shifts is the declining reputation of Christianity, especially among young Americans. A new study by The Barna Group conducted among 16- to 29-year-olds shows that a new generation is more skeptical of and resistant to Christianity than were people of the same age just a decade ago.

Do you feel that the selection of the Bishop of Rome has always been about who was the most spiritually mature person? Has politics had any effect on shaping the papacy?
Is this to the benefit or detriment of the church?

is it possible by will power to cast away gay thoughts and impulses and eventually live a normal married life with a woman and have kids? it's because i always end feeling guilty after male encounters and doesn't like to be an all-out gay. it's just the feeling of insecurity to be in a man-woman relationship if i end fooling my wife and family.

''People who pray do it because that's how they choose to deal with their life.''

I personally find it enlightening. It's like tossing all your baggage in God's direction and letting Him deal with it. But then again, that's how I interpret it. Any thoughts?

Have a nice day, by the way :)
