I had to write a short story for English in school a few days ago, so I took it to church to let Ron (pastor of my church and an English major) read it over. He read and called it "the most unglodly thing i have read!" I admit I had other Gods, a satanic sort of language and some words that were not of a defined language but does that make it "Ungodly?"

If it is, let me ask this question. When we colonize Mars in the future, where will sinners who live on Mars go to? Will they float all the way through space back to earth and go to the center of earth or will they go to the center of Mars? Is there any Biblical scripture to support the answer to this question?

For me it was baseball.

I grew up with four brothers, so there was absolutely NO CHANCE of me growing up FEMININE! (Actually I think I would have been a tomboy even in a family of very feminine girls.)

But baseball was my passion. I can not remember when I DID NOT play the game. And back in those days there were no organised teams for "girls". It just wasn't done. Although in my public school the ONLY baseball teams the school could field were the Junior and Senior GIRLS teams...there just were not enough boys that were good at the game in the same age group!

I especially liked the two years I spent catching the 60 mph plus zingers of a girl who was destined for much greater things.

So what was YOUR favourite sport when you were young?

Let's assume, for a moment, that there is a God. We may not know the nature of God, or
which religion comes closest to the truth, but we can be sure of one thing:

God does not love you.

Look at all the cruelty and misery in the world, which God does nothing to stop. Right now,
as you are reading this, there are children in various places around the world being raped
and tortured. Most of us would risk our lives, give up our lives, to save them if we could.
God stands by and does nothing. God has abandoned these children, and clearly does not
love them. God does not love you, either.

There are some religions which claim that "God's love is a different kind of love", which is
supposed to explain and justify what appears to be God's divine indifference. This is total
bullshit. If I claim that I love my neighbor, and then set his house on fire and shoot him in
the head, anyone can see that my "love" is not love at all.

Another fallacy along these lines is the statement that, "God doesn't give us more than we
can handle in life". This is a ridiculous statement. Go to a mental institution, go to the ward
for those who are seriously disturbed, and you'll see people who just sit and rock back and
forth all day, staring off into space, or screaming at nonexistant terrors. God has given
them more than they could handle, and now they're totally broken.

So you have no loving God watching over you, making sure you get what you need. You
don't get what you need in life, you don't get what you want, you don't get what you
deserve. You get what you get.

Im not ignorant at all and those type of characteristics dont apply to me. Im just think it is crazy that black people cannot unite. Some of us remain so divided by skin color and physical characteristics? Its so sad considering our history, we have came a very long way but it seems like we have such a long way to go. What's with the light skin/dark skin thing? What is this the dividing factor amongst others?

I'm going to dress up as a gangster (woman) for halloween, but I don't want to carry a tommy gun around since I'll be going to bars that night (even though it will look like a toy, I don't want to take chances being stopped by cops). What other accessories can I use to indicate what I'm dressed as? I'm making the costume myself so it won't look as "authentic" as something bought online so I need some good accessory ideas. The only thing I can think of is a cigar. Any ideas?

MADRID, Spain - Nobel laureate Doris Lessing said the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States were "not that terrible" when compared to attacks by the IRA [Christian Terrorists] in Britain.

Nearly 3,000 people were killed in the Sept. 11 attacks. About 3,700 died and tens of thousands of people were maimed in more than 30 years of violence in Northern Ireland.

"As for Bush, he's a world calamity," added Lessing. "Everyone is tired of this man. Either he is stupid or he is very clever, although you have to remember he is a member of a social class which has profited from wars."

Iran also came in for a lashing from Lessing, who was born to British parents who were living in what is now Bakhtaran, Iran.

"I hate Iran, I hate the Iranian government, it's a cruel and evil government," she was quoted as saying.

Do you think that he would be shot and killed (of course he would rise again) or do you think people would accept that he was the son of God...this scenerio is as if he had never lived in Biblical times.

For me it would have to be that overwhelming sense of CONNECTEDNESS when I first held both of my daughters in my arms after they were born.

People have said that this is only hard-wiring to ensure survival of the species...the same reason that ALL babies (no matter what species) are so appealing.

I can remember looking into my daughters wee little face and thinking about all those past mothers behind me into the mists of time, and I knew each one of them had felt this same overwhelming protectiveness for blood of my blood and flesh of my flesh.

So what is the one memory that you don't every want to forget?

what is true evil. It's an assignment for someone's class. She has to name something that is true evil, but if it was destroyed a lot of people would be outraged. The two evils I mentioned were gambling and alcohol. They both destroy people's lives (I've seen it first hand) but you can bet many would be outraged if they were destroyed. Boy did I get thumbs down on that one! One person said if something were truly evil, no one would be outraged if it were destroyed. That is totally wrong in my opinion. What would be your answer - What evil would bring outrage if it were destroyed? (Sorry for the long question)
