Is it offensive to you? Does it give you pause to think? Can you see the humour in it? Can you laugh with them or does it just anger you? Is it irrelevant and not worth responding to?

Is it a uniting force or a divisive force in trying to bring together people of different beliefs?

I believe in God, but I understand that atheists don't. That is their perogative. Many of them have higher values instead of a higher power. I understand their life experience has brought them to that decision. I don't know who is right or wrong. But I don't feel threatened by what they believe. Someday we will all know. Why should I fight with them about it? Isn't their perspective just as valid as my own?

Two old ladies were rocking in their chairs on the nursing home porch. One says "Martha, do you remember the minuet?" Martha answers "Heck, I don't even remember the ones I slept with."

Sadie wakes up and says to her husband, "Jake, I'm dead". Jake responds. What's the matter with you, Sadie, you aren't dead. You're talking to me." "No, Jake, I'm definitely dead". "Sadie, you are not dead. Why do you think you're dead" Sadie responds, "Because nothing hurts"

A very healthy, spry-looking 95-year-old man moves into a nursing home. He walks up to a frail looking man walking down the hall with a walker, and says: "How old do you think I am?" The man answers: "I'd say 60." "Nope, I'm 95!" the man boasts. Down the hall, he sees a woman in a room watching TV from a wheelchair & walks up to her and asks her to guess his age. Right away she unzips his fly & fondles him for a few minutes, then looks at him and says: "You're 95." The man looks at her incredulously and asks: "How did you know that?" She shrugs and says: "I heard you tell the fellow in the hall."

My Mom collected them at grocer, service stations and other places. I know this sounds weird but, it was a family thing! My sister and I would take turns placing them in the redemption books. Each time we got an entire book filled, with stamps, you would have thought we were celebrating a huge event! lol

Did you or, your parents collect them too?

Awwww, I miss those days!!

If it is something you would have no use for and the very fact that the person gave it to you makes you wonder if they know you at all. What do you do in that case? Do you do the "thanks, but no thanks" bid and kindly give them back the present or accept it and pretend you like it?

What if you know the person spent a lot of money on it but you will never use it, is it right to then return it or tell them that you appreciate their efforts but don't want their money to go to waste?

I have been regularly going to a reform synagogue for the last 12 years, but I dont know if I believe in the existence of god, although I believe in almost everything else. Can I still call myself a reform jew?

Leviticus 25:44-46
44 " 'Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 45 You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. 46 You can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.

1Peter 2: 18-19
18Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. 19For it is commendable if a man bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God.

Luke 12:47
47"That servant who knows his master's will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many blows.

I know there are a lot of practical reasons to treat sex seriously -- unwanted children, sexual diseases, emotional damage, etc. And I know that God made sex, so it must be good, and that he approves of manogomous sex within marriage. Yet, the bible seems to me, to present an overly negative perspective on sex. It lists permiscuity with murder, and over and over says sexual "sin" is reason for condemnation to hell. Have I misread this? Why does it seem to be such a very very negative issue when it's such a fundamental human drive?

If I ask you what religion you are and you tell me Protestant, you have not yet answered my question! That is what I learned in 9th grade Honors History class. Protestant isn't a religion because Protestant can be alot of religions! If you tell me that you're Protestant you could be Lutheran etc! So why do so many people say I'm Protestant rather than saying O I'm Lutheran or I'm _____?

After their disobedience, and they were given the death sentence, what actually happened to them? For the christians.....are they awaiting a resurrection, or, are they in heaven as many believe when a person dies.

so gravity is a fabric as scientist say then why doesnt fabric have holes somewhere? why dont mountains collapse due to gravity if earth is billions of years old whats holding them up?

theory of gravity is a big lie just like evolutin n big bang.
