Since public schools are a breeding groung for deadly disease transmition, not to mention they promote risky dangerous social behaviors like drinking, smoking, and promisquous behavior also social bullying. In the digital age would it actually save moeny and lives by having digital classes where kids can learn the basics and excell at something they actually want to learn? Without the interuption of bullies and social presures couldn't children learn more?

Sorry, but I'm 27 and I have no idea what is going on in high schools anymore. I thought I was keeping up with the times but I guess not. Can anyone help explain things to me? Thanks!

He is serving a life sentence for stabbing a young girl to death and will not likely get parolled for many years. He has served twelve years already. The crime was committed when he was 18 and now he is 30. She has two children from a previous marriage and wants to have another child with this convict. They both "claim" that they are Christians. They knew eachother from childhood. They went to the same church.

Comments please.

Surely we as men have our own idea of what looks good. So I see a good looking man, and I respect that beauty. Is there something wrong with that?

I'm sure girls do the same, but it's not bad.

I've heard from the Catholics that Jesus will forgive you as long as you accept him to be your saviour. (I was brought up catholic so I know this to be a catholic fact so to speak). So why do I hear other "Christians" telling women they're going to hell? Didn't we learn how to have compassion from Christ after all?

OK we don't always agree with each other but one thing I can say I sometimes get a good genuine laugh out of R & S with some funny answers. What do think?

He said it's an acceptable method because the earth will naturally consume the sauce, with local friendly animals providing assistance. I said that it is not something someone does at another person's home and that the small stain of tomato sauce was not an asset to the yard. What do YOU think?

I have seen this claimed over and over again and was curious as to whether it is a majority opinion.


If your answer is yes: How can there be a purpose of life in heaven? (assuming you can't die and go to super-heaven, and so on).

Estelle’s (who is thin) department is having a pre-Thanksgiving party this Friday. Each of her coworkers were asked to bring some type of dish (i.e. a chicken dish, Chinese, Italian, salad). Estelle, Lynette, Sara and Penny were discussing the party when Sara said to Estelle “Estelle you will bring the salad and we want Italian dressing, and Ranch.” That is when Lynette slapped Lynette’s backside and said more fat (she was looking at Estelle when she said that). Later on Estelle asked why Lynette slapped Lynette’s butt and Lynette replied “Because my butt is going to get big from eating all that stuff at the party.”

Then about ten minutes later Estelle asked two more times why Lynette slapped Lynette’s butt and Lynette replied: (1) because I am going to eat and get fat (2) because we are going to eat a lot of junk at the party and get fat”. Then Estelle said to Lynette “Do you think I am fat” and Lynette looked at Estelle in disbelief and said “the only place you are fat is in your head”.

As Estelle was leaving to go home Lynette said to Estelle I am talking about my butt getting bigger not yours.

Estelle told her friends the above conversation and they said to Estelle you are reading into the above. Lynette never even mentioned you.”

My question: Did Estelle read into the conversation above?

What is it that makes someone have faith in something when they have no reason to believe in it. I'm asking this from as an 18 year old male...newly agnostic... and struggling with my Christian faith...

Come on, Don't feel shy to answer. If you are either religion, don't be ashame of it.

Atheist and Buddist are not the same thing. The Buddist actually believe in a god.

That's the whole question. I find a lot fo religeous types don't, they just blindly accept whatever their bible (not THE bible, whatever the equivalent is in their own religeon) tells them to think.

So, do you think for yourself or do you blindly follow your faith (like your faith tells you to?)

When people are trying to go into ministry, how do they know that it is God's will or their want? I've been trying to apply for a job so that I can take a ministry training for campus ministry early next year. People only have once in a life time opportunity to become a staff once they graduate. Therefore, I've been looking for a job so that I can save up. I've been looking for a job for like five month now. However,it was hard for me to find a job. If I have financial struggles, does that mean God want me to give up since it might not be beneficial for me? or does that mean God want me to give up secular work and serve him? I have option of self support raising so is it his will for me to do that if finacial answer for a job is being shut down? Would it be better for to go into ministry believing in that other people would support or not do it because financially I am not stable? how does minister deal with financial problem before going into ministry?

Have you been affected by the current TV (and screen) writers strike? I have not noticed too much difference in programming. I do not watch too much daytime TV, and never watch sitcoms! How about you?

According to the 10 commandments, a good person does not kill. Many Chrisitans kill animals. They swap flies. They eat meat.They exterminate all kinds of animals. Does that mean they are still Christian? Does this rule only apply to Humans or all of God's creatures?

"Scientists discovered “modern men” in Pliocene deposits.
Modern human skulls and bones have been discovered in Pliocene layers. These findings include those at Calaveras (1866), Castenedolo (1860, 1880), and Ipswich (1912).
Finding modern human remains in layers that are believed to be 7-12 million years old casts serious doubt on the theory of evolution regarding humans (or scientific dating methods), since that is the time Ramapithecus (a supposed ape-man) was proposed to exist. If both Ramapithecus and modern man lived at the same time, we would know that people did not evolve from this “ancestor” (or any of the “later” ones). That is, for modern man to evolve from Ramapithecus, Ramapithecus would have had to exist before modern man. The evidence does not support this idea." Please explain to me after this evidence how the theory of evolution holds water.
