A lot of people for insults in my school call people Jews. They say "Shut up you Jew," or something like that. How is that an insult? What do they mean by that?

There is something feeble and a little contemptible about a man who cannot face the perils of life without the help of comfortable myths. Almost inevitably some part of him is aware that they are myths and that he believes them only because they are comforting. But he dares not face this thought! Moreover, since he is aware, however dimly, that his opinions are not rational, he becomes furious when they are disputed.

like the lady that had the twins
she ticked a box on the form stating that she did not want a blood transfusion
and now she has died
i dont think it is fair
surely being faced with a decision like that you would think that they would consider things
and be able to decide to have it done

would you consult 1) an evangelist or 2) an atheist heart surgeon? [don't forget that most scientists believe in macro evolution, so their understanding of the heart is probably faulty too]

Do you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior; do you confess you sins to Jesus? I’m looking for definite answers…not your book knowledge…direct answers.
Thank you

Hoover is my Shepherd, I am in want,
He maketh me to lie down on park benches,
He leadeth me by still factories,
He restoreth my doubt in the Republican Party.
He guided me in the path of the
Unemployed for his party's sake,
Yea, though I walk through the alley of soup kitchens,
I am hungry.
I do not fear evil, for thou art against me;
Thy Cabinet and thy Senate, they do discomfort me;
Thou didst prepare a reduction in my wages;
In the presence of my creditors thou annointed
my income with taxes.
So my expense overruneth my income.
Surely poverty and hard times will follow me
All the days of the Republican administration.
And I shall dwell in a rented house forever.
Amen.

Me and my b/f (we are both very friendly people) can't stand it when you pass someone whether it be on the street or in the hall way at work...etc and they put their head down or totally look the other way when passing you....or you can tell that they are trying really really hard not to look at you. We always say hello to people and never avoid anyone. I mean we don't go out of our way but just normal friendly "good morning" "hello" whatever. There are people at my work that I have worked with for years that still won't say hello or look me in the eye when we pass (I'm sure they are like this with other people). Do you think they have a mental problem of some sort?

I know most are going to say its the celebration of the birth of Jesus. It is actually a Pagan Hioliday celebrating St Nick (Sankt Nikolaus): Was born in the 3rd century. A little further in depth study, and you will learn a lot of how early Pagan traditions became symbolic in the Christianized/Protestant version of Christmas (and other traditional holidays). Santa Clause on Christmas has no significance with Jesus Christ. The amanita muscaria mushroom was very poisonous (German word for poison is gift) which grows only under guess what? A pine tree(X-mas tree). Santas elves revolve around the krampus (thought to be St Nicks nemesis by some and helper by others). The Amanita muscaria mushroom was a drug if used in slight quantities. Reindeer who ate the mushroom were seen strangely leaping in the fields (flying reindeer).
Human use of the drug required it to be dried out. It was hung in a cloth sack by the fire place(stockings). By the way the colors of the mushroom red and white.

Forget about those who were raised in Islam. Now, the ones who decide to convert....what could possibly attract them to Islam?
In the US, Islam gets most of its converts from prisons, and most of these prisoners were raised Christian. Islam is much harsher than Christianity. Now I'm not Christian and I'm not trying to promote Christianity, but at least Christianity has the whole "Jesus Loves You" thing. Islam strikes an insane amount of fear into its followers.
Is it possible that Islam would attract people with low self-esteem because they feel that they need to torture and punish themselves even more than they can do in Christianity? (And I'm sure prisons would be full of people with low self-esteem.) Also think of these American women who marry a Muslim man and covert to Islam and then she becomes his slave, covering herself up and walking behind him.

Where is it that the Apostle Paul purportedly says Jesus is NOT God? Paul knew whom he had seen on the road to Damascus - the living God, God in the flesh, the Christ, Jesus.
Yes yes many times he says he is the son of God, the son of man, but he IS God. He says before Abraham was I AM - the only I am was GOD. Jesus came to earth in a fleshly body but was the representation and full embodiment of GOD. The trinity is not some made up delusion - it is a clear conclusion from NT scripture.
