When did it change? I didn't get the memo...

Check out some of the answers. I wonder how they would feel if this were happening to them right now.

to anyone who has been insulted by our faith

I apologize for any insult or wrong that any fellow Christian has done. what can I say? People are jerks, even those who believe in eternal life. Ghandi is quoted for saying that he likes the idea of Christ, but not Christians cause they dont act like Christ.
The term 'Christian' means Christ-follower but we dont live up to our name. It is true that actions speak louder than words, but in a forum like this, words are all we have... and the tone behind them.
Christians are supposed to be accepting and non judgmental. Models in the Bible are given of how we should hate sin but love the sinner.
I suppose the reason that we continue to type out heated replies might be out of frustration and un-righteous anger.
Yes, we believe that we are right about sin, heaven and hell and all that good stuff... but its no reason to get in anybody's face about it.

So im here to say a sincere sorry if we've been jerks.

I'm in the habit of saying, "God bless you" because I truly want people to be blessed of God. I've seen people express irritation on R&S with this concept; so what I want to know is this: Is it the "God" part that bothers you, or do you just not want to be blessed? Can I just say "Blessings" or "Bless ya good"? Or something else, as long as I leave God out of it?

How easily understood is Slovak by a Czech, I hear the two are fairly mutually intelligible, how much so? Is the difference like American and British English? Or more like the difference between Spanish and Portuguese?

So by being proud to worship God and Jesus arent you making them mad?

If not evolution, do you believe He used science as a means to create us? After all we are biological in nature. The universe is a display of scientific genius. Science is all around us. We cannot ignore it. God didn't.

I know that many of us 'went to church' every Sunday with our parents, at their insistence , sometimes..... at some point those of us that don't 'do' organized religion any more had a reason that sent us out the door, never to return..... what did it for you?...
I was a good Methodist until I was in high school.... then the questioning set in and I couldn't get answers, just repetative gibberish from a cranky old pastor.... THEN... we 'became' UNITED METHODISTs and the whole thing turned into a business.....talk about being disillusioned!!.... but I tried to stay close to some kind of church for a good while.... and then, I met my now hubby.... fell in love and wanted to marry him... but HIS church wouldn't marry us, as both of us were divorced....so, according to that, we're both lost.... why bother?

My habit that I consider bad is
folding my shirt and always walking around
with it on my shoulder place to place.
My other one would be biting my nails.

What's are your habits?

I do not see another location that would have as many individuals that have done their home work on evolution. What I want is a cognitive discussion on the evolution of Higher Cognitive states in humans. In addition to brain evolution I want to also include the physiological changes required for the acquisition of language.

My only question at this time is; who is willing to have this discussion with me?

I took German in high school, and found it pretty easy to learn.

Knowing how common it is to run into someone who speaks German, but not English... (I've only met one...)

Knowing how common it is to run into someone who speaks Spanish, but not English... (I have no idea how many I've met- lots!)

Any good places to look for cheap reliable Spanish classes in Colorado?

In my previous question, non-believer's overwhelmingly stated that they felt persecuted and procilatized by Christians. Has answering questions on Yahoo Answers ever changed this, or are you just imitating us?

do you stop looking because of that obstacle?

Many ex - Christians say that they do not believe in God because they find the bible illogical and the Trinity contradictory. But instead of exploring other religions, many give up altogether? Why let one sour grape turn you off the rest?

I have seen questions about the awful fires in America tonight.
Christians asking if they are because of sin or the start of the end of the world or is it because god is punishing people in that part of America because of there greed.
This got me thinking are these people really Christian or people pretending to be Christian ?
After all should not real Christians be asking what can we do to help or at the very least praying for those affected ?
