If I forget to sign off with my name at the end of an email (the person receiving still knows who I am by my email address), which is a very important email where I don't want to sound rude, do you think it will come across as impolite.

Aren't the political activities of the christian right and some of the actions and statements of American politicians (from Bush down) unconstitutional?

It says in Mark 14:56–59

"For many bore false witness against him, and their witness did not agree. And some stood up and bore false witness against him, saying, "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another, not made with hands.''' Yet not even so did their testimony agree."

The word he used for hands is "ต้มยำ" which does not actually look like it means hands. What is this word? Is it a symbolic something or other that he used to convey the idea of hands?

Why is it that after a person is passed on, that the Mormon Church baptizes them? Is it wrong for them to be baptized without the person having a say? Does someone actually have a say, like family etc, even if they're family, do they have the right to give that permission? Your thoughts...?

I think it is "thou shalt not steal"

If you kill someone you have stolen someone's love

if you steal something from someones home you had to have coveted it as well.

If you commit adultery then you ahve stolen someones trust

If you have an idol then you steal your faith from GOD

And while I am here I want to ask this too..God accepted Slavery and yet man has made it against the law.

Don't believe me...here is one of his commandments in length

But the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work—you, or your son or your daughter, or your male or female slave, or your ox or your donkey, or any of your livestock, or the resident alien in your towns, so that your male and female slave may rest as well as you.

So what is up with the whole "slavery is ok in the commandments?"

I would like to say more but eventually even I tire of writing'

there sense of humor is equal to that of a book keeper or an accountant, why can't they just relax with themselves and enjoy life a lot more by laughing at themselves now and then and not be so serious about every little thing?

we started watching a movie about a teacher who helps inner city school kids. Once she realises what movie it is she gets up and says:

She says....I am sick of movies made about white teachers saving poor black kids. Then goes to her bedroom.

This movie was a true story. There are stories about black school teachers helping kids too. The first I know about is one where Sidney Potier plays a teacher in a school of all white kids. There was another one where a black principle completely turned his school around where both black and white kids attend.

I don't understand how this educated woman would say such a thing in my presence.

Her sister flew over and spent a couple of nights with us. One of those nights we were watching a black comedian saying ***** this and ***** that and I was offended but they were laughing and ....they were also laughing at the racial jokes he was telling about WHITE FOLKS and Crackers.

I understood the question as What do you THINK about gay marriages. When an opinion or thought is ask for then have enough courtesy to NOT thumbs down the answer because of the opposing Thought, but, because the answer was incorrect/or wrong. My answer did receive 11 (thus far) thumbs down....because, I had a thought about the question and it was in opposition to the majority. The thought was the belief in the God of my choice. That was so stated in my answer. Those that display that type of mentality or the ones that apparently don't believe in my God or maybe any God for that matter.
Well guess what? What I believe and my answer probably received some ♫ Hallelujahs! ♫ from topside.
I could be wrong about my interpretation of the question. Just as I could be about anything else in life.
Could anyone else out therebe wrong?
Upon entering the question and this idea in this particular category I realize will greatly offend some. The best I can say, It's not meant to.

As a lapsed Catholic, even I know that Catholics are forbidden to join the Masons under pain of mortal sin. Mahoney at one time said he thought it was alright. This guy is a Cardinal and technically could be Pope. I ran across a pastoral letter reversing his decision while researching the Archdiocese of L.A. after they threw out some nuns in a land grab to get some money to pay off part of the 660 million pedophile priest scandal.
Masonry has elements of naturalistic religion among other things that are forbidden to Catholics. Anyway this guy is supposed to be schooled in this stuff.

What happens to you if you are inactive for long periods of time, are fairly inconsistent with attending church, and don't pay the tithes very often.

What do y'all think about full statehood? Do you think that would be beneficial to Puerto Rico? Or, would you rather see the island become it's own sovereign nation? I'm just curious. I have a lot of love for Ricans and for whatever reason I'd really like to Puerto Rico become a state.....but what do you think?
