Why are Indians/Pakistanis all so small and skinny? Do they just have a small bone structure, a godly metabolism, or their habits?

how does voodoo work? we have a friend working on a mission in rwanda. while in a hospital, a man asked her for a strand of her hair, telling her that her hair is beautiful (she's a redhead). she said she'll think about it. on getting home, a colleague warned her not to. they pulled some reddish strands off their sofa instead, wrapped it in a soft paper and gave it to the man when the man visited the mission house.

after the man left, the sofa moved! however, it couldn't go out of the door because it got lodged somewhat. it scared the living daylights out of everyone. if that wasn't voodoo we don't know what it is. how would you explain that?

i hear people on here asking for advice on how to stop doing it, but has anyone here actually succeeded? I've tried a hundred times, but the longer i go without masturbating, the more my sexual drive builds up and i can only quit for a week, or a month at best.
If you have actually quit for good, how did you do it?
How many months or years did you do it before you quit and how long has it been since you quit?

In ancient times, people believed that the river god caused the flood and the volcano god caused the eruption, and they sacrificed virgins to these gods. Now people believe in only one kind, loving and almighty god. Why are there still flood and volcano eruption? Why are there still natural disasters? Why is there still evil? Is God really alone? Isn't Satan his partner? Can God exist without Satan?

I am trying to stay respectful tonight. I got a bit annoyed last night and was a bit short in my questions. So please be respectful in turn.

I know it is said Peter was Bishop in Rome. If he was why didn't Paul mention him in his letter to Rome or in any of his letters written from Rome. Consider the following.



"In A.D. 58 Paul wrote to the Romans, but does not mention Peter. In Romans 1:11, he wants to impart special gifts, and in Romans 1:15 he is ready to preach there. He sends greetings to twenty-seven persons, but none to Peter.

"In 61 Paul is conveyed a prisoner to Rome, and certain brethren go to meet him, but not Peter.

"At Rome Paul writes to the Galatians, and mentions Peter, but not as being there or as having been pontiff there for twenty years [as the Roman Catholic Church claims].

I need help identifying this gorgeous statue. In the store where I found it, the woman said that this is a goddess, but I'm not sure. She is sitting on a lotus holding an orb in her hands. Her eyes are not closed, but looking down. It's absolutely beautiful, but I would like to know who she is. If she is Hindu or what other religion she or he is from.

Any background information, or pictures would be extremely helpful.

By that line of reasoning shouldn`t his existence be beyond human logic as well?
And don`t try to tell me that you have not used some form of reasoning to believe he exists. If you were born brain dead, you would not believe in God for obvious reasons. You belief in God does come from reasoning.

with Yahoo's new version of the thumb's down utility, your answer goes to the bottom, rather than staying at the top?

So now, in essence, this cheesy elementary school tactic of answering is absolutely fruitless. Might as well go to the answer screen, and finish your essay in one go!

Today a stranger said she saw Italian in me. Well, that's not strange, because I AM half Italian. Anyway, she said she could see it in my face, she was pointing to her eyes, and commented something about them, but I didn't hear it.

So, what are some common physical characteristics in an Italian girl?

Why do some people say this and then go on to state how other religions are false? If all things are possible, isn't it possible that things that seem impossible or improbable could actually be?

outward appearance and mannerisms to makes it easy to identify them in the majority of cases).

So why do you think this is? Why is there a correlation between being a literalist fundy and having the general Appalachian outward packaging?

Note: I'm not referring to all theists, just the fundies among their ranks. If the shoe does NOT fit then ....

Do aborted babies go to heaven or purgatory? I know the Vatican recently changed that unbaptised children go to heaven now instead of purgatory.

But what happens to aborted fetuses?

She says I spend all my time with people who are the size of thumbnails, and that I should find something more constructive to do with my time. But, even though you guys are only 1" x 1", I couldn't think of a better place to be. So, should I get taller friends or continue to hang with you guys?
