My Son-in-law used to force my 2 Grandsons to finish their huge dinners as they were growing up often resulting in one of them literally gagging. It used to upset me a lot.
Now, they are both strapping bean poles! That's the only way I can describe an 18 and 19 year old who are both over 6 foot but weigh slightly less than they should.
I actually thought they would grow up to be fat! How wrong can you be?

Is there a concern that one day they will be able to prove beyond doubt the answer behind the existance of man.

If this does go against the world's religious groups beliefs what affect would it have.

I've read the bible cover to cover to cover to cover, and anyone who has, can agree that it's not fun at all to read....Wouldn't an all powerful, all knowing, all good deity be a better writer?

Why couldn't he write it in language that children can understand, and enjoy reading, easily, with no need for translations?

don't tell me "there are bibles for children" because according to you, that isn't written by god, only the kjv, niv, and whatever other version is....

I have been having weekly bible discussions with a very nice Jehovah's Witness lady, and I invited my Pastor to sit in, and the lady I am having the discussions with has decided not to come today. Is this normal?

I have been studying wicca for about a year and the more I study the more confused i become. I am really interested in the celtic culture and mythology. The problem is I don't know of many resources for it. most of the books you find are on wicca and thats not what I'm being pulled towards. If anyone has any resources as far as the religion, practices ect. of the celts please let me know. And please I am not interested in converting to christianity so please refrain from the long posts threatening me with hell and damnation. I only want real answers relevant to my question. Thanks all

I know as Christians we are human and sometime slip into unloving behavior, but suppose there was a person here on R&S who regularly answered questions, but all of them -- consistently -- showed hate and a sneering attitude?

Suppose this hypothetical person never asked questions and never answered any except from the people he saw as his "enemies," i.e. people whose opinions were different from him: would you wonder about his committment to preaching Jesus's tenets of love? Or would you assume that love of one's brothers and sisters, either in cyberspace or in the world, wasn't an important aspect of ministering to one another?

If we know it is not okay to be racist,then why cant the connection be made that it is not okay to hate gay people?A school kid says he's not racist but he hates gays.And lesbians are hot...What are the youths of today learning from these oppressive religious radicals?If the boy goes through life loving lesbians,he wont ever get layed,so this is a new breed of nonosexual...Ha!Ha!Anyway,what is the difference between hate of black people and hate of gay people?We got over one.Why cant we get over the other in spite of the religious rhetoric?Are we THAT oppressed to be told it is against the "will of God" and we HAVE TO believe it and continue to suffer hatred because of it?

as if they are God?

they all the time make research over people as if they are God..we are their creation..

they are not superior to us..on the contrary..

a man who wants to be superior to the other ..actually is inferor to him..because God made us equal..even when some of us loose their mind..

the only superior person to us..is the one like Blessed Virgin..who doesn't sleep around..and considers the poor his/her equal.

I mean I know it deals with witch craft and wizardry but it gets kids to read, would you rather have them playing grand theft auto.

P.s. And DON'T say they can read the bible, no kid wants to read the bible.

.they say there are no demons..there are halucinations..

saying so..the effect is suporting satan to hide..and make the people never think that satan could exist and tempt them..

the psychologists say there is not possesion..there are ilnesses..how do they dare to say something against what Jesus said?Jesus who is GOD, PART OF HOLLY TRINITY..


or they are hipocrite they say..yes there are demons..but this man in front of us is mad..

Aren't they afraid of the fire of hell?

it is the biggest sin to deny that God exists and that demons exists and give troubles to people ..

the medicine is a backward idea ..from ancient greeks..who obeyed the idols ..and didn't believe satan give ilnesses

The Polite Way to Pee

During one of her daily classes a teacher trying to teach good manners, asked her students the following question: "Michael, if you were on a date having dinner with a nice young lady, how would you tell her that you have to go to the bathroom?"

Michael said, "Just a minute I have to go pee."

The teacher responded by saying, "That would be rude and impolite. What about you Peter, how would you say it?"

Peter said, "I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back."

That's better, but it's still not very nice to say the word bathroom at the dinner table. And you, little Johnny, can you use your brain for once and show us your good manners?"

"I would say: Darling, may I please be excused for a moment? I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, whom I hope you'll get to meet after dinner."

The teacher fainted!

Especially those same people who took their children to see the Chronicles of Narnia. Will you take them to see "The Golden Compass" to get both sides of the story?

Or should children only be exposed to philosophical beliefs with which their parents agree?

Atheists, feel free to respond too.

Reconciliation is through Jesus --> Christ --> unto God.
Making it to the end, alive unto God, is the objective.
All the KofG within you are hoping you'll make it,
to the end, and make it there alive unto God;
For dead unto God is as if "no escape".

Your thoughts on the ultimate matrix?
Navigating through it all, to the end?
How make it to end alive unto God?

I read an interesting article about a poll of people's supernatural beliefs. I was surprised that the belief rates were as high as they are. In particular:

48% believed in ESP
23% believed they've seen or felt the prescence of a ghost
17% believed 4 leaf clovers bring good luck

Why do you think these rates of belief are as high as they are?
Do you believe in these types of supernatural things? Why or why not?
