do we really have to go to church and study the bible and whatnot? isnt it enough to just believe in god and thank him everyday when you wake up for living another day(and not sin or to try to avoid sinning)? I mean do we really have to go to church and study the bible and all of that?

For those who still have mortages, as you know after dancing I went into selling, and then 18 years in Real Estate. My advise I would always give to my clients,was to find out on what date the Banks calculated your Interest, on your outstanding mortage amount. It may work differently in The States.Say they calculate your interest on the very last day of the month, and:-

Assuming, you have a mortgate of $40,000.00 (Forty Thousand Dollars) and you pay $2000 a month on your mortgage (I don't know the % of your Mortgage rates in the States). They will calculate your interest on $40,000.00 (Forty Thousand Dollars). BUT, if you can pay that $2000, on the day BEFORE they calculate your Interested Rates, they will then only be calculating interesT on $38,000.00 (Thirty Eight thousand). If you sit down, and calulate this, over you entire Mortgage period, which is usually 20 or 25 years, you will be amazed at how many thousands you have saved at the end of the term. You will have calculate.

...Is it really your assertion that over 80% of the U.S. population is insane?

What do you call a person who claims that, "everyone is crazy but me"?

This Seniors' section got me to reminiscing about "the old days," and I happened to think about the old types of metal ice trays that had a handle to pull to get the ice out. I remember that you had to run water over the bottom to loosen the ice before you pulled the handle; else the ice would come out in cracks and pieces.

I did a search on the Web and came across these items for sale in ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/LOT-OF-6-VINTAGE-METAL-ICE-TRAYS_W0QQitemZ280166366520QQihZ018QQcategoryZ82QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting

These are what I remember having. (I won't place a bid, though, because the site says it will cost $10.00 to ship them -- and the opening bid is only $0.99! Duh!)

I had thought about trying to find some, as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to twist those plastic trays to pop out the ice -- and THEY also seem to break the ice lately. Maybe my water is too hard?

Has anybody seen any vintage ice trays around?

I am curious to know why you turned away from Christianity. Did something bad happen? Was it a gradual turning?

In the bible 1John.4:1-2
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.[2] Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God.
In th Quran chapter 3: 45-48 it says:
Behold! the angels said "O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary held in honor in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah. (45) "He shall speak to the people in childhood And in maturity and he shall be (of the company) of the righteous." (46) She said: "O my Lord! how shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?" He said: "Even so: Allah createth what He willeth; when He hath decreed a plan, He but saith to it `Be', and it is! (47) "And Allah will teach him the Book and Wisdom, the Torah and the Gospel. (48)

May God guide us all to the right path

when christians and islams use text from the bible to prove their beliefs and reason? thats like supporting Hitlers beliefs by quoting "mein kampf".

Bible fanatics also tempt to prove its validity by comparing actual events that happened at the time of its writing, but that just proves that the bible WAS written, what does that prove in the terms of god?

Could it be that their outcome has not yet been decided. Could it be that Satan has some butt to kick after all? I wouldn't feel too secure If I was any of you.

why do some, or most christians think we secretly believe in god. when an atheist believes that god is a fabrication of man in an attemped to explain the unexplainable.

why can they not understand that we just dont believe the sky fairy is there.


please dont copy and paste scripture its really annoying and proves nothing.

A couple months ago I snuck into my sisters room and tried on some of her "unmentionables"....just out of curiosity of course. Well, I actually like the way they feel and I sneak them from her drawer everyday now and wear them under my clothes. Does that mean....? Am I...?

Alright well I dont know if anyone saw Nostradamus and The Lost Book (I think thats the title) and Nostradamus: 500 Years Later, but I find the information they give very frightening! I was wondering what all of your thoughts were on this, and if you believe he really can tell the future.
Some questions:
-Do you believe the world will end in 2012?
-Will war be the reason we face our death?
-Do the alignment of stars have anything to do with the future?
-Is famine in the near future?
-Is it odd that the Mayan calendar stops at 2012?
