Don't you think it would suck if your mom or dad was much better looking then you are?
Some examples are:
Rumer Willis and Christi Brinkleys daughter. I am not saying these girls are unattractive but society says they are and society also says their moms are hot.......I just imagine that sucks.....Thoughts?

As I sit here alone in my apartment, it is storming outside and there is a grey cast in my room. I keep hearing knocking and thumping in my apartment. I'm sure its just my neighbors' kids coming home from school, but it puts me in the mood for a good ghost story. Anybody have any chilling experiences?

Here's mine:
About 6 months ago, I was awakened every morning by the neighbors next door beating on the walls and running the shower around 7am. I work nights, so I really need my sleep during that time. I couldn't take it anymore. It sounded like they were throwing furniture! I told my landlady---and she said the apartment had been empty for a month! It was securly locked and no one had been inside at all. When I asked her if there had been reports of the building being haunted, she seemed uneasy. Another night, my cat looked down my hallway, started screaming and every hair raised up, but I saw nothing. The cat ran away and never came back. It sure gave me chills!

I don't care what anyone says, putting your faith in ancient superstitious nonsense ahead of your own children is irresponsible.

If we all did that, the world would be full of feral children, with no adults to guide them, and eventually humans would likely become extinct.

Madness.

If someone has TRULY delved into your belief system, doctrine, holy scripture and it did not:

- Point them to a God who inspires love, trust, awe and devotion
- Bring them happiness, peace of mind and spirit and the means to live in harmony with the world and its challenges
- Give them hope for the future, comfort during times of grief
- Answer fundamental questions about their purpose on earth in a way that made sense and completed the picture for them.

And as a result, they switch and go to another religion or not, that finally DOES THESE THINGS and fulfills them spiritually.....

Do you feel happy for them or do you get upset when this happens and accuse the person of actually rejecting the TRUE God, not trying HARD enough, or being evil at heart?

Do you think God BIGGER than a religion or book and can transcend these to reach anyone in anyway that will speak to them?

OR

Your religion/beliefs/holy book is the ONLY way God has chosen to reveal Himself?

I'm having trouble finding a passage in the Bible. I'm not sure exactly how it goes. I'm pretty sure it's in the Old Testament & it's something about when terror strikes in the middle of the night fear not...something something & how it won't grab your foot. I'm sorry I don't know more, It's been a long time but I really used to like the passage when I was younger. Thanks!

Why does God need it so badly he threatens to torture you forever if he does not get your devoted service.

Acts 4:27-28:
For truly in this city there were gathered together against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, to do whatever Your hand and Your plan had predestined to take place.

So…did people kill the King of Glory because of their “free will” and God did not want to “interfere” with their “free will” and step in and stop them…? Or, were the actions of these people under divine direction, even though it was AS IF they had “free will”?

That's awfully creative of someone. Same with the Bible... A bunch of different men write a bunch of different books all pointing to the same God, not to mention it all lines up!

if not, then why do they constantly protest against a religion they are not even a member of?

normally, a person who protests agains something is when he/she is a part of it, and he/she wants something to change.

but since these fundies are not Catholics, so why do they care what Catholics want to believe anyway?

so anyone can actually wonder about the agenda of these fundies.

So, I'll try to make this as least confusing as possible.....I'm working with German pronouns and I ahve a few questions....I will use three examples...Der Hund (The Dog) Die Tür (The Door) and Das Buch (The Book).... Now if I constructed the sentences: Ich sehe den Hund, Ich sehe die Tür, and Ich sehe das Buch...(I see the dog, I see the door, I see the book)...and then substituted the Direct Object with Pronouns. When substituting the pronouns, would I match the pronoun and noun with the Gender of the nouns. In English I would replace each Direct object with "It' in German would I just use "es" or would I need to use Ich sehe ihn, Ich sehe sie, Ich sehe es.....? I know this is really confusing..... Basically...If I have a masculine noun that is not actually a man would I use the masculine pronoun in place of it?

Is spewing idiocy?

How much is your opinion of another person's intelligence based on whether or not they agree with you?

Yesterday, by accident I saw an interesting documentation about the Castle of Windsor. In which it was documented how many people it takes to put up a state affair banquet.
It was a majestic in-fluencial affair. However, do we really need such things now a days? When you could easily serve a chicken or pork roast in an oven? Who needs to go through such long pre-pardness and even meassure with a stick how far a plate is from each other or a chair is before a table?
