Are you aware that Texas law says the following, and what do you think about it?

"No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office, or public trust, in this State; nor shall any one be excluded from holding office on account of his religious sentiments, provided he acknowledge the existence of a Supreme Being."

Recently I read that Grand Mufti's from around the world called on Christians leaders for dialogs (sorry if mistaken).i feel a good idea /chance that the christian counterparts must not miss.

Now to my question.
I also read that both acknowledges the coming of Jesus ( P) in this world at any time and in one of the religion even further states that people will follow/go in one direction(again sorry if mistaken).
So if they are supposed to go on a single road at one time in the future,why the fight now? comes to my mind,the world needs peace.

You're not sure about what science says though its based on all our best theories from the brightest minds on the planet using all our skills and technology to find the truth but you choose to reject it because it contradicts what ignorant, bronze-age desert dwelling tribes thought thousands of years ago, when their knowledge of science led them to believe that heaven was in the sky and the earth was flat?

Do you think it is a form of child abuse to force a young girl to have a baby that was conceived in rape? Would it not be more humane to make sure that she has a DNC right after the rape or an abortion as soon as pregnancy is confirmed?

When a 10 - 16 year old child is raped and becomes pregnant, to force her to have the baby is child abuse, in my opinion.


In black and white reality, forcing a child to have a child condemns two children -- the one forced to have the child, and the baby conceived in rape.



Recovering from rape is hard enough as it is. It's horrible for an adult. Think how hard it has to be for a child! Add to that being forced to carry a baby conceived through such violent means.

It will ruin the life for the girl forced to carry this baby.
It will ruin the life of a child who finds out that he/she was conceived through such a gross and disgusting act of violence.

So much for the sanctity and the dignity of life idea.

All mammals on earth including man have long been extinct due to global warming and plague. They went the way of the dinosaur. For eons now all remaining life on Earth has been insects and microbes. Over the past hundred million years insects have been evolving into humongous specimens. The mighty cockroach has reached a height of six foot. It has learned to walk on its hind legs. Its four front appendages has grown little hands with four fingers and opposable thumbs. They have learned to rub two sticks together and create fire. After inventing the wheel their technology grew in leaps and bounds seeing them through the industrial age, the age of technology and space age. Yes they conquered space discovering other galaxies and other worlds. Still one remaining question would forever plague them. "If we came from beetles, why are there still beetles?"

I'm going to a fancy dress party tonight and I promised everyone I'd go as a penguin.
However, I have no 'penguin costume' or the means to get one so I'm going to have to make one myself.
I'm going to wear flippers on my feet (scuba-diving ones) and probably make cardboard flippers to stick to my arms. I have black face paint and will make my beak out of yellow/orange paper.
What else can I do???

Thanks for any ideas people might give me.

"Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses." Matthew 18:32-35

in a person who says he is a prophet, are my chances of being led astray any greater than one who doesn't believe in one? Isn't anyone whose beliefs differ from yours being led astray?

I'm getting the itch to put them up earlier this year. Usually, I put them up after Thanksgiving. However, I have 2 young kids and I'd like for them to be able to be really excited for more than just 30 days. Is putting them up this weekend or next too early?

When do you hang up your Christmas decorations?
