This may sound strange but i have to ask. I am protestant and my husband is catholic. I regularly attend church and know the rules and customs of getting a baby baptised in my church. My husband on the other hand has not been to church in over 2 years. He is insisting our baby be baptised in the catholic church even though he does not go. I am ok with this as long as we also have a baptism in my church, but i am afraid we will not be able to have a catholic baptism because he never goes. What does he need to do?

Is that how you would say in German "I hope everything is good": "Ich hoffe bei dir ist alles gut."?

i know you can say "ich hoffe, dir geht es gut." but does the phrase above work as well or is it incorrect?

Often we read about conflict between creationism and evolution. Evolution only explains physical origin of human being. But more importantly, freud explain human psychology in detail. So,
Is there any conflict between freudian psychology and biblical explaination of human being.

I don't think God would send a 10 year old or a 11 year old to hell either. Lets go up more. 12 13 14 problile not kinda young 15 16 17 well almost an adult but I mean what age do you have to be what line do you have to cross to go to hell. Now dont get mad I understand you send yourselfs to hell by doing wrong I get that 100% but still why would God let you go there. God is so above everything out of time and space way above haterd and war you would think he'd just let you come in heaven when people say God will send you to hell its like there saying God doesnt have a choice or something I mean he made everything though. . He is all love and forgivness and I know if someone doesnt even want forgivness you would think God would just be w/e on it. I know like if you if you killed someone he thinks its horrible but why would he send you to hell and put himself through that sarrow for you it doesnt make sence at all. Please can someone clear this up.

We allowed my parents to talk us into keeping the baby on Halloween. Anyway, this will be the first time that we will be going out since the baby has been born. So, I need suggestions on a costume for my husband. He is a very tall man and I am very petite. These are the costume ideas that I have thought of:
1) Bunnies (he hated that)
2. Superman and Lois Lane
3.Fred Flinstone and Wilma
4. Tarzan and Jane
5. Ike and Tina
6.King Kong and whatever the lady is in the movie

Well my husband hates all those ideas. He do not see it as being macho enough. How can you get more macho than Superman or Tarzan? Any suggestions? What would be a good match?

What do you really believe is true for you and what is your relationship with Spirit?
Is your belief carved in stone?
Do you remain open to other ideas?

I'm asking this here because I'm thinking I'll get more negative responses elsewhere, and 'cause I know you all.

So if you don't know I'm in college, and I'm living with one of my roommates from last year. Things were fine last year, but now she has a girlfriend and it's complicating things. I can't stand PDA and she knows it, and yet she brings her gf over and they make out while I'm in the room, even if I was in there first. And now she's (jokingly, I hope) complaining that the bunked beds are "inconvenient" for *ahem* certain reasons.

Basically though, I just feel really uncomfortable when they're making out in the room and I'm trying to, say, study. Is that reasonable, or is the whole sexile/PDA thing an expected part of college life?
