Give or take a few thousand depending on which webpage you look at. Does this mean the believers of the other 37999 are all those "other christians"?

I feel a calling to serve at the church, to teach others and possibly lead. I am not concerned with money, as I would take much less for the satisfaction of saved souls. Anyone who may be church leadership able to help me discern my feelings towards this? I am not looking for anything self-serving, but to win souls and change lives for the better. Please answer, message or email me please.

New commers in the organization I've been in for 2-3 years are really rude to me. I dont know how to get them to be less rude to me and I haven't even talked to them ever. I'm not really geeky or annoying (even if I was, they wouldnt be able to tell) and each day they seem to get worse and worse. What do I do so that they are less annoying?

If there was a fire at a hospital where there was a freezer full of frozen fertilized eggs, and you had to choose between saving all those blastocysts or saving a five-year old child in the hospital (you only have time to save one of those two), would you save the five-year old or thousands of fertilized eggs (who all have souls, if you really believe life begins at conception)?

Was there and shady undertaking, any form of filth, especially in cultural life, in which at least one Athiest did not participate? On putting the probing knife carefully to that kind of abscess one immediately discovered, like a maggot in a putrescent body, a little Athiest who was often blinded by the sudden light.

Do you think that the genius they possess makes them more cosmically aware?

Most of the artists I know are deep thinkers; sensitive and amazing people.

I've already asked this, but the "answers"
I got for my question were basically "who cares, I just do"
See for yourself : http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

Here's the original question :
I only am asking this to Christians whom think helping Israel is just, if you would still like to answer though you aren't whom
I am addressing you may answer the first five, the sixth is irrelevant to you.

Dear Christians whom think supporting "Israel" and Zionists is a Christians duty, may you answer these questions, please?
:

1) Who was the founder of modern political Zionism?

2) What were his religious beliefs?

3) What is the Jewish Orthodox view concerning Zionists and modern day "Israel"?

4) What percentage of Palestinians are Christian?

5) What language/s do they - ( the Palestine people ) speak?

6) *Why* do you think supporting "Israel" and the Zionists is a Christians duty?

Thank you!

Even so-called Christians like GW Bush still support capital punishment despite the "mistakes" DNA have uncovered--despite the fact their Lord was killed by capital punishment--despite the fact it is more expensive for the taxpayers because of the Appeals process to execute someone than incarcerate them for life.Why is no-one held responsible for "mistaken" executions of an innocent person???

Listen to what I think.. You are probably a Catholic or a Christian because your parents were, and you were raised that way-therefor, you believe that your religion is the correct one and the other ones are not real... But say you were raised as a Muslim, then you would believe that Christianity is not correct. Say you were raised worshiping a jug of milk? Then THAT religion would be correct... You see? God is fake.

Change my mind!

Okay so I have a half day tommorow and a talent show. Therefore each class is only 10min. long! So I ask my mom very nively if I can skip. My mom told me it is fine with her as long as my dad is okay with it. So my dad saind it is fine. So I was very happy and I put some homework for tommorow. Suddenly my parents realize it is report card day tommorow. So now i have to go to school and finish all my homework. My parent put an extention to my bed-time because of my homework (2 and a half hours!). This just sucks I had it planned out I can relax, sleep late, and sleep in. What really ticks me off is that I have all my grades and I can show it to them. My mom says she would have given me the day off if I had all A's like normal. But this time I screwed up ona test and got all A's and one C. But my parents knew about this for about 3 weeks! This just sucks and I dont think my parents were being fair. Do you think they were beng fair?

My basic philosophy is this: I will love whoever the f*ck I want, whenever the f*ck I want, whyever the f*ck I want, and I'll show that love however the f*ck I want. If you don't like that, f*ck you.

As a friend once put it, "I don't give two s*hits what's in pants. I love hearts, not bodies or sexual organs."

I'm open to the possibility of falling in love with another female. In fact, I'd say it's just as likely as falling in love with a man, in my case. However, I've never been attracted to a female. But I'm open to the possibility.

So, I tend to find filling in the "orientation" section of online profiles slightly difficult. If I say "men," I may lose an opportunity to get to know a girl that's looking for someone. Therefore, I'd say "both," however, I'm not sure if I really "count as" bisexual, as I've not yet been attracted to a female. And if I leave it blank, then I receive a LOT of inquiries as to my orientation.

Any suggestions, or enlightenment here??

What was she taking the 12 or so drugs for? What was she needing them for? What illness or condition did she need them for? And also, why would a doctor prescribe her so many (12!!!!!)

Also, I know it was accidental, but was she addicted?

I'm an officer of my high school's french club, and we (my friends and I) came up with a game that might be fun. What do you think?
Here's how it works. The entire game is a scavenger hunt.
Since we will be going to a cafe, next month, this idea will work. The cafe is next to a movie theather, a library, an ice cream shop, some clothing stores, and many more stores. We wanted the club to divide in groups of 3 or 4 they will each find a club officer or one of the native speakers in one of this stores, their goal is to collect an item from each store by speaking french (ONLY FRENCH) Dictionaries are allowed. There will be a time limit of course, and the winning groups will obtain a gift card in one of the stores. The idea is in the early stages of development but do you think it'll be fun?
Any suggestions?

You could fart, turn on the fan, roll down the windows and hope the scent fades. You could hold it and wait until you're clear of the cashier's window? Me? Hey let it rip! No sense of getting your insides in a bind.

Come on... mothers breastfeed in public and it is deemed offensive, Janet Jackson's breast is shown for a mere second on adult footbal entertainment and it is an outrage, same-sex marriage is not allowed in 49 states, people get all touchy about condoms distributed in schools, a sex scene is discovered in an adult rated game (San Andreas) and causes a political stir...

What the hell is up with all this?

Why is it so hard for people to accept other people's religion? What year is this already that some of these people "claiming" to speak for all atheists practically jump out of their seats foaming at the mouth at the mere thought of Christianity?
