If they are so desperate to come to this country,
and want to use our benefits
ship them out to Afghanistan and Iraq
to serve with our British soldiers
for a minimum of 1 year, then we will welcome them back
to enjoy our health hospitals, jobs benefits etc
If not'
still ship them to Iraq Afghanistan to make more homes available, Sorry for offending some of you, but if you want a new house' we go out to work to pay for it

I think this guy has some special connections. Since we can now depend on God for rain could we pray for other things? Could he miracle away the IED's that blow up our GI's?

Question for you...
I'm an egoist.
Suppose you lose your wallet.
I find it. It has your ID, so I could easily return it.
I believe that it is to my benefit to keep the wallet, and having found it, that I am entitled to it.
If you feel the same way, don't bother answering.
If you believe that I have an ethical obligation to return your wallet to you, please tell me why.
Don't just tell me that it is the "right" thing to do. Keep in mind that since I'm an egoist, I think that the "right" thing to do is to preserve my best interests.

i have to do these types of problems, all about comparatives and superlatives for example:

(as many) ?Puedes beber ______ refrescos como yo?

you would use the english words "as many" and translate it into spanish to fill the blank, which would be "tantos". "tantos" is the answer.

but the next ones, i am having trouble with....

1. "(as) Mis amigos paracen _____ simpaticos como Uds.

2. (the least boring) Rocardo y Tomas son _____ de la fiesta.

3. (the worst) Miguel y Carl son ____ estudiantes de la clase.

4. (the oldest) Mi profesor de biologia es _____ de la universidad.

5. (extremely delicious) El pollo de este restaurante est'a ___.

6. (extremely tall) Sara es _________.

Since the vast majority of people responded that they do indeed believe in Julius Caesar and many reported that they do indeed believe he was the emperor of Rome: Why evidence have you seen that leads you to believe that?

from what i understand and believe, Easter is about the birth of jesus, many religious people i know say thats what it is, but there are a few who say thats what christmas is. From what i know, Xmas started out and grew from someone with the name like Saint Nick, gave presents to the poor around the end of the year ever year untill his death. then parents continued it and eventually you got christmas.
so all you religious and non-religious people, what do u think it is and why?
jesus and easter birthday, (i dont get the chocolate bunny that lays eggs)
saint nick and christmas
or what?

Which verse is right? THese verses have God saying contradictory things. Which verse was GOd wrong in? Did they sin, was it an abomination? Or, were they given

BOM Jacob 2:24 Behold, David and aSolomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before me, saith the Lord.

DOC 132:38-39 38 David also received many wives and concubines, and also Solomon and Moses my servants, as also many others of my servants, from the beginning of creation until this time; and in nothing did they sin save in those things which they received not of me.
39 David’s wives and concubines were given unto him of me, by the hand of Nathan, my servant, and others of the prophets who had the keys of this power; and in none of these things did he sin against me save in the case of Uriah and his wife; and, therefore he hath fallen from his exaltation, and received his portion; and he shall not inherit them out of the world, for I gave them unto another, saith the Lord.

They happen, and he has let the happen ever since the begginning of time. I think most people would agree that it is only necessary that they happen. For example, earthquakes. Half of our land mass only exist because of it.

In conclusion I think that Aquinas and Paley do not entirely prove God’s existence with their arguments because there are many criticisms with these two arguments, however religious believers can then justify the argument for example science has proof of the big bang and Evolution, but what actually started these two theories in the first place? Religious believers can then argue back at say that God started it. Other theories against the existence of God equally have many flaws for example one major flaw in Darwinian Theory is that it relies on something automatically existing, or appearing out of nothing. For example where did this single-celled organism that started the Universe come from in the first place? The Cosmological and Teleological Arguments for the existence of God both have certain strengths. They also share heavy criticisms. In both cases the criticisms outweigh the strengths. Also, sometimes the two arguments are slightly confusing.

When they hired me (it's a state organization), the secretary took me shopping and bought me lots of decorations that I got to pick out for my office on the company credit card. Now that I'm leaving and got "laid off" do I leave them or take them? Would the decorations be mine or the companies? I would really like to keep them. Thanks!

A.)This quote fits most orthodox views:

Religion consists of a set of things which the average man thinks he believes, and wishes he was certain of.

B.) This quote fits most fundamentalist views:

No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says; he is always convinced that it says what he means.

gay. However - she's an upstanding citizen, a police officer, and a regular volunteer. She loves people and loves helping people. Is she condemned to hell because of her attraction to women, even though she can't help it? Why would god make her gay if he didn't approve of it? Opinions please.

In the Bible why did God (thousands of years ago) predict the types of religious acts that would occur today, and basically say, "If you see this then they worship me with their lips, but not with their heart".
