So my assistant is new to the area, she seems to have moved away from a lot of her old problems, but her grown daughter and son seem to cause her some major issues. Every couple of days, right when I come to work I get a complete, often grotesque update on the personal lives of her children.

I know she doesn’t have many friends, at least locally, but every once in a while, I would like to hear good news, or anything rather than hearing about her daughters new fling. I feel like a hypocrite, as I want to listen to her, but I take it very seriously, and it is an emotional drain.

Any ideas on how to “lighten the mood” a little, I respect her as a person, and I would like to help out, but this stuff really is not my problem.

Is it possible that early Christian writings & books that were excluded as final New Testament books address Mary's Immaculate Conception since none of the included 27 New Testament books do?
Would it be mentioned in gnostic gospels that were discovered in Nag Hamadi, Egypt in 1947?

If I can get any answers from New Testament scholars,great!
If not,I'll accept answers from Christians who are very knowledgeable about any sources regarding this matter.

I have spent 20 years in the "hearing world" and I have never found anyone that was deaf other than people signing to each other in restraunts and so on. I want to find a support group or something so I can befriend other deaf people so I won't feel alone anymore.

Besides not going to church, reading your holy book, and praying.
Would you still try to be a good person, or would the gloves be off?

the reason why there are 4 gospels (among the dozens of gospels written) is because Irenaeus of Lyons, in the 2nd century thought this was the logical number to add to the Bible, his reasoning being that the compass had 4 directions, so naturally, the Bible should have 4 gospels. Other gospels (such as the gospel of Judas) were discarded without any particular archeological or scientific reasons.

In the centuries following the crusifiction, multiple branches of christianity existed, most of them were persecuted and many seized to exist. Many parts of the Bible were written down long after the crusifiction, and much of the christianity we know today has been heavily affected by the corrupt balances of power that existed many centuries ago.

How can people still take something so vague as the Bible so literal? I am not atheist, and I do believe there is a God, but I cannot take something which has been the foundation of so much abuse, many wars and so much suffering, literal.

Time is too slow for those who wait,
too swift for those who fear,
too long for those who grieve,
too short for those who rejoice,
but for those who love, time is eternity.

Anyone know how to/have tips on how to do a sexy growl type thing? I'm not sure what it is called or how to describe it, but you can see what I'm talking about here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1A6lJtgvXE (Gotta love how everything is on YouTube).

I'd love to be able to do it, but don't know where to start. I tried but I either end up with a rolling r (like you use in Spanish) or I sound like I'm trying to gargle (Very un-sexy).

If you can do it and can just describe where you put what and how you do it, I would appreciate it.

Thanks!

Why does it seem that most gay (and bisexual) men never date outside their race? Most times I see latinos only stick to latinos, whites with whites, asians with asians, but when it comes to someone who is interracial (white/latino) (black/white), nobody really seems to be open to that person unless he identifies as being a "full race" or disgregards his other half.

And on a lot of sites most white guys seem to put down black men "as long as your not black" on their profiles, kind of stuff. Why is there a lot of racism within the gay community when gay people themselves already deal with prejudice for their sexual orientation?

The only people I see that are open to interracial gay dating are a number of black men. I also have seem some white/asian couples but other than that most white, asian, and latino gay men seem to be very racist. Why?

Hey. I believe when you die all reality seizes to exist. i would like you to prove me wrong. all religions seem to point to a "heaven" however not all living things go to heaven, assuming their is one. so what happens to them?
this is what most likely happens to us. eternal nothing
we have all entered a game we can not win.
their will be a moment in everyones life when nothing matters.
i do not fear dying its the whole death part

I've noticed on dating websites that the majority of the women on there are given a choice on what race they're looking for. A great deal of them check "Caucasian/White" instead of "Any" or "Doesn't matter." When I read some of their profiles and they seem like a good person, I may want to say a quick hello or something like that. But then I'll see that they're looking for Caucasian/White guys only.
It's like, "wham! I'm automatically disqualified" before she even knows who I am. I'm an Asian American and I am just as "Americanized" as any other Caucasian person. The ONLY difference is my physical appearance. I don't understand because I'm open to all races; it's WHO the person is that matters.
What are your thoughts about the race thing on dating sites?

I mean read the book it has stories like Sodom and Gamorrah, The Flood etc. does Israel really need US support. They have God isnt that all thats necessary???

Its obviously not about any moral question. Since the occupation of Palestine has been a blood bath. Its not for geopolitical gain since when we invaded Iraq x2 we never staged the attack from Israel.
