This may sound like kind of an odd question.. But, when I am in church, and I see a nice looking lady.. My mind does wonder down the wrong path shall we say...And sometime the masses message does not get the attention it should! Anyway.. married or single men..Do you have this problem too?

Have you heard this story?

MIAMI -- When one of his parishioners fell ill, the former pastor of St. Kevin's Catholic Church in Miami didn't hesitate to lend a hand; he gave his kidney. In the past 16 years, Margarita Chavez has had three kidney transplants. Her latest was on Wednesday. The donor was the Rev. Alfred Cioffi. "I figured, I have two kidneys. I don't need two kidneys, so I could give her one," said Cioffi. "There are no words to understand what's going on here. I'm full of gratitude to him," said Chavez. Chavez and Cioffi met while he was a priest at St. Kevin's in Miami 15 years ago.

I wonder: All you people who say bad things about Catholic priests: When was the last time you donated a kidney to someone in need?

I am begining to realize just how "Christian" the US really is

Fox news seems like a cult on wheels with so called analisis that is 100% opinion coloured by an extremist view of puritanical doctrine and yet millions watch it and more over they appear to believe it


Since Christianity is waiting for Jesus to come and rule the world and fix everything - Is this a good religion to have influencing the world scence -Really

Now we appear to have 2 competeing dogma's both waiting for some magical occurance to fullfill somthing written down in a 2000 yr old book

If this war really is about Jesus vs Allah then it was apparenty jesus who started it

I was just wondering if we could let jesus and allahduke it out for themselves and leave us the people out of it

A speech given by Red Jacket, or Sagoyewatha in 1805, in part.

"Brother, Continue to listen. You say that you are sent to instruct us how to worship the Great Spirit agreeable to his mind; and if we do not take hold of the religion which you White people teach, we shall be unhappy hereafter. You say that you are right and we are lost. How do we know this to be true? We understand that your religion is written in a book. If it was intended for us as well as you, why has not the Great Spirit given to us - and not only to us, but to our forefathers - the knowledge of that book, with the means of understanding it rightly?"

He mentions that these people were preaching to others ...
"If we find it does them good, makes them honest and less disposed to cheat Indians, we will consider again of what you have said."

We know what happened. What's different today?

KFC has a new commercial that shows an African American Family at the dinner table eating a bucket of chicken. In the commercial, there is the mother, daughter, and two sons. My question is, where's dad? Being a middle aged African American male, father and grandfather, I find it insulting. I work hard to get out the message and echo Cosby and other Black Leaders that urge our young men to take responsibility for themselves and the families that they create. Does KFC think that this is the normal African American Family? Could they not have shown a happy family with mother and father? What do you think?

When churches say offerings of $100 for baptism does that mean you have to offer $100? Or can you offer $20 if that's all you can afford or nothing even? My friend was asked to be godmother to her cousin and she already bought the entire outfit and accessories totally $215. Now the mom has mentioned she thinks to be proper that my friends husband (godfather) needs to pay for the church. Is that correct? And are the fees actually required or appreciated?

A question was asked on whether or not Stalin & Pol Pot were athiest, most of the answers were yes, but it wasn't their athiesm that created the monsters they were (my words) but other issues they had.
Then people on the same question blame Hitlers problems on being raised Christian.... (surely it wasn't the sever beating from his step father, the strange relationship he had with his mother, just being raised with the the title Christian.)

During Ramadan we strive to be the best we can, we fast (those of us who are able to), read the Qur'an more, pray more and practice charity. Once Ramadan is over do you still attempt to continue this behavior or do you find it challenging to do so?

what if the old God is dead ? The God of the old testament...what if He killed His old self on the cross...with and in Jesus...and rose again..washed of all his wrath and His memory of our sins ? What if he did this on purpose in order to be able to love us unconditionally and forever ? The scriptures say that " God was in Christ..reconciling the world to Himself.
totally dead to His old self and my old self ...in the Name....?
