We share 99% of our DNA with apes. If that's completely meaningless, I would think DNA testing is meaningless.

I recieved this message from another user:

"Message: you listen ignorant ***** how can you dick hair smarter than me is that really how far you stupidness goes......no hunny you fall back


p.s stop asking ignorant question with that nasty *** opicture of you posted you look ghetto"

I think that before anyone questions the intelligence of another user in this forum they should at least take the time to check their rants for grammar errors, puncuation, and spelling.

After all this is the most documented event in human history. So much evidence exists for the numbers murdered, the amount of money spent on this "final solution" and the money generated for the Nazi government (mostly in seized property and buisnesses but in pounds of reclaimed gold teeth), that it has to be housed in several very large archives.
Yet christians will claim that these are false and that the numbers were either grossly exaggerated (the fact is that the numbers are quite a bit lower than the reality, it's just that without hard evidence, some of which was destroyed by the Nazi's just before the end of WWII, real researchers can't speculate) or falsified entirely.
Honestly, when faced with this kind of willfull ignorant (something they use every day when trying to rationalize their adherance to an outdated mythology) it's hard to reason with them.
So why is it that you christians (note I did'nt say ALL) deny the holocaust?

If so, what kind of prayers should be forced on everyone? And what type of church should people be made to go to.

There's more than one religion out there, ya know.

I am considering retiring in or outside the U.S.

Looking for a place where my money goes far; a simple life where my contribution to the local economy will have a good impact on the local population

I wouldn't rule out moving to a place that is economically challenged

I am a retired Vietnam Veteran in my mid-fifties

I am an Eastern Orthodox Christian, so the ideal area would be somewhere Orthodox worship is easy to locate

I have a TAX FREE pension of about $3,000.00 a month

COLA increases yearly and "no off-set" Social Security coming in 7 years to increase my income.

Also, the U.S. VA will pay for most health care claims I submit from outside US.

Some ideas: Romania, Bulgaria and Eastern Europe in general.

Also Southeast Asia and Latin America.

Not worried about culture shock.

My avocation is singing and songwriting.

I'm a retired Registered Nurse, not looking to do nursing, but having a lot of knowledge to share as volunteer.

Thank you for serious, informed answers.

I know there are people that have been through worse than I have. So I am interested in knowing how you trust God.

I try reading the bible, that doesn't help.

I try praying, that doesn't help.

I try talking to other Christians, that doesn't help.

I have finally just walked away from God, and no, not doing really well with it. It just seems like everything is crashing down on me now, its a never ending battle everyday. I am weak, tired, exhausted, really need God to intervene and the more I attempted to trust Him, the more it blew up in my face and I failed and lost faith.

I figured it would be easier to endure this without Him instead of trying to understand why He isn't helping or acting in this.

In Buddhism, the swastika signifies auspiciousness and good fortune as well as the Buddha's footprints and the Buddha's heart. The swastika is said to contain the whole mind of the Buddha. I really love this concept, and i would love to get the counter-clockwise swastika (the Nazi symbol was clockwise) with Om symbol or a lotus in the middle... But me being white and my husband black, he thinks that people will automatically judge us (and think that Im a crazy neo-nazi) but I want it on my back and I doubt anyone would see it often... and if they did most people would ask about it and I would explain it to them, So the question being should I get it and not care about other peoples opinion of me?

Why are the same people who complained about the governmets response to hurricane Katrina willing to put the government in charge of healthcare? Will the gimme gimme people never learn to not depend on the government for what they should provide themselves?

For example: Let's say you want to know the answer to something, and you just get this feeling that you will find the answer by throwing a rock in the water. You do so, and then you see that the movement of the water in combination with the refletion of the clouds shows you a picture of your answer.

Scientists have just released probes which should confirm by 2025 whether there is any other life out there... Would it make you take another look at your religion? How would it fit in with what you believe?

Fossil fragments of an early species of hominid have been unearthed with rhino, giraffe, monkey, hippo, and antelope remains in Africa. Hominids are upright-walking primates including modern humans and extict and related forms. The new fossils are helping scientists piece together the earliest chapters of human evolution.

The research team said the fossils were of the Ardipithecus ramidus species. This hominid species lived shortly after hominids split from the common ancestor that gave rise to both chimpanzees and hominids some six to eight million years ago.

Hominids gave rise to a number of human and near human species, including the extinct Neandertals and the hobbit-like Homo floresiensis—and the only surviving species, Homo sapiens.

God is never wrong.
The Bible is the true word of God.
God does not change his mind.
Therefore all that is written in the Bible must always be truth and just.
