I know that you can ask for forgiveness for sins so do you ask for forgiveness for things that were sins back in the day but are now commonplace? In the Bible there is a lot of writing about women being submissive and not have authority over men and can not be teachers, would a woman boss ask for forgiveness or a female teacher? If these parts aren't being followed 'religiously' then why stick to any of it? Who decides what is to be a sin and not a sin anymore? Does the book change with the times?

We talk all the time. I feel the connection. I just don't think she would admit it if I asked her. She's straight. But she calls me all the time, and always wants to be around me. I think she knows I'm into her, but how can I tell if she's into me...seems like we play a lot of games. And I just wanna get to the bottom of it.

I am 24 female, almost 25.

I have never been in a serious relationship. I have had very high expectations and I DEFINATELY know that being obese has not helped.

I was a late bloomer, my first bf was when I was almost 20. Then a year later I got into a really bad car accident and over a year of not being able to move I gained 75 pounds.

I thought people would judge me on the inside but that is not how men are.

So now I am losing weight and also losing hope in finding someone who cares for me.

Why is it so hard to find a nice guy that is educated and around my age to love me?

Sad day, attended a funeral. Didn't want to cook. Rang 4 pizza. They told me my order would arrive in 30 minutes. 1 hour later - no pizza - I rang...
I said "when did I place my order? why haven't I got it yet?" she fumbled they left 20 minutes ago and should arrive any second. (my house is 5 minutes drive from pizza store).
The pizza guy arrived 10 minutes later. He had his uniform on, but his girlfriend with him. She came up to the door with him, giggling with our bottle of Pepsi. I gave them the money and no tip. they left.

I rang the pizza shop - i was really angry - my 4 kids had been waiting so long! - i said in a really sarcastic voice "my pizza is finally here - it only took 1 1/2 hours - and do you normally have a "team" to deliver it?" I told her about the delivery guy coming with a girl and that I live just 5 minutes away. I told them I would never buy pizza from them again. (the pizza was actually really delicious.....but I'm embarrassed to use them)

I found a place in Salt Lake City that will send toys to girls and boys in Iraq.

We usually give a donation to a local charity, but this year we have a special reason for wanting to give to children in different countries who could use some joy and fun, for a change. Babies, small children, teens. They all need a little love.

Something is wrong here. The leadership of the Catholic Church (which I am *technically* a part of) goes out of their way to protect pedophile priests, moving them to different parishes, brushing it under the rug, etc., BUT GOD FORBID they fall in love with an adult woman! This priest didn't even have sex with her; he just confessed his love for her. As a Catholic, I'm struggling with this. Heck, this new Pope even made the comment "Boys will be boys" when asked about the crisis in the Catholic Church, as if it was no big deal.

Am I right when I say Heaven is a place and Hell is a state of mind? Angels sound realistic, but fire, demons and a guy with a pitch fork and tail? I am a strong Christian and I have read the Bible on ths stuff. It seems that Hell is more of a state of mind then a place. What do you think? I will choose a best answer!!!!

I'm having a real hard time with spiritual beliefs it's hard for me to believe in god with so much peril in the word and without factual proof. I'm trying hard to find something to believe in, but the bible just seems to be fictional stories believed by uneducated unsofisticated people two thousand years ago.

Now Im not saying that it's all a lie (not sure) but it is a perfect way to control people. What better way can you control a society without any physical threat at all? At the same time, how else can you rally your people into doing something productive? All Im saying is that religion is effing genius and Humanity wouldnt survive without it. Although, it may be our downfall. Is my logic wrong?

what makes you think that?? i mean...
if there was a god why is this world crap today..? people getting kidnapped raped murdered abused and etc...
Dont tell me that its because they sinned or whatever because if your so called god was so nice to kill himself to save us then why would he kill so many people for nothing you would think he would forgive instead so why...do you believe in him???

Growing up it seems that the tree of Good and Evil contained something that man wasn't suppost to have and it seems so weird not to know good and evil. I was thinking and knowing good and evil seems to be that we gained a conscience. If you think about it, Adam and Eve were not ashamed until they ate from that tree. Their eyes were opened, could that be our conscience?

If they gained a conscience then what would it be like not to have a conscience but to be in a holy state?

I suppose that it would be like knowing a truth and not even thinking other wise. Like a child living in a two parent home with a mom and dad and not even considering that some families don't have a dad. I bet they didn't even consider doing otherwise until the serpent came along.

Suppose their were ten 10 balls with 10 different colors you had to chose among. The balls only differed in their color. Only one color (the blue color) is the color that will save you. If you choose the wrong color you go to hell. So people all over the world get to choose one ball each. Some people chose orange and some yellow and etc. Some never got to see the blue ball so they had to chose from what was available. Then after everyone had finished choosing, Jesus came down and said, "All who chose blue go to heaven, the rest go to hell".

1) the 10 balls represent the different religions in the world.
2) the balls differ only in color because all religions are equally true to the believer of that particular religion.
4) A large number of people around the world has never heard of Jesus.
3) According to Christians, if you choose any other religion but Jesus, you will go to hell.

Christians, this is what you believe!

I was shocked? I should have thought of that when I got married, I have a large wedding, and lets say I got 50 dollars from each quest, I would have had it made when I first got married. Anyway is this poor etiquette, or is this a scam? I think I will get them a gift card, that is money isn't it?
