Are there really so many anti-semites or it is just the wrong use of the word anti-semite that makes seem as if there are
so many anti-semites.
I thought anti-semetism means ranting about the Jewish beliefs (i.e the religion Judaism).
I usually disagree with the Jews on the Israel section but they never called me anti-semite. However, I hear a lot of people saying that anybody who disagrees with a Jew on something, be it religion, politics, or even other things is called anti-semite. Could this wrong use of the word anti-semite be the reason why "there are so many anti-semites?"

I know you have a book that tells you that Jesus is the only way, but that isn't the only book on the planet that contains information on how to get to Heaven. What proof do you have that no one but Christians get into Heaven?

Please try to remember, bible scripture is not proof, just as blueprints for the Flux Capacitor from "Back to the Future" does not prove that time-travel is possible.

Is it time that England breaks away from the union as Scotland wants to be a free entity in Europe. After all we get is "English " bashing by their Scottish First Minister yet he is happy enough for us to subsidise his nation .

I have type O blood and want to know what ethnic background is this type most found. I have heard that it is people from the mediterranian sea and American Indians. and I am descended from both of these groups. I can find nothing on the internet about this.

For example, when colleagues or acquaintances get a bit too curious and ask "Do you have a girlfriend?" or "Why are you single?" and I really don't feel at that moment like answering them or giving them personal information about my life or my personality style or issues, what's a good way to say "none of your business" without actually saying none of your business?

Remember that these would be people I'd have to work pleasantly with in the future; not looking to be disrespectful or to put them down.

I just find myself in these situations a lot, and I frankly don't want to discuss my romantic life with women at work, and that sort of thing.

Thanks.

I'm a giving person, I'm known for it, I've always loved to help people. I'm also an Atheist/Agnostic. My father's Buddhist, my mother's Atheist. I love my parents more than anything in this world and they likewise.

Why must I suffer eternal torture roasting on Satan's BBQ?

Why can't decency be the most important thing there is?

Why is it that fundamentalist Christians would feel comfortable watching from Heaven, hearing my roasting skin crackle and sizzle while Satan slathers boiling BBQ sauce on my body.

That's not love, if anything that's selfish meaningless pity. That's a complete disregard for morality.

At home? At someone else's house? In a dorm? Where they can see you or not?

One of my friends said he was more willing to do it in a dorm where he wouldn't have to clean it. I wouldn't do it in a dorm b/c someone might see!

When you are in public; in a restaraunt or in a line to check out, does it make you angry when someone invades your space by sitting/standing too close?
Is it just me?
Are these people oblivious?

Most religions suggest that you should sacrifice certain things in order to make your life more meaningful and pleasing to the divine ... whether its sex, material possessions, or certain foods.

Why is this?

With it being understood that ANYTHING done foolishly and in excess can be harmful, it seems to me that the true meaning of life would be found in enjoying the things we do have, rather than focusing on what we have to live without.

Any thoughts?

THREE LITTLE FISHES (Fwee Widdo Fiddies)

Down in the meadow in a little bitty pool,
Swam three little fishies and the mama fishy, too.
"Swim!" said the mama fishy, "Swim if you can!"
And they swam and they swam right over the dam.



cho: Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, shoo
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, shoo
Boop boop dittum dattum wattum, shoo
And they swam and they swam all over the dam.



"Stop!" said the mama fishy, "You'll get lost!"
But the three little fishies didn't want to be bossed,
So the three little fishies went out on a spree
And they swam and they swam right out to the sea.

chorus

"Whee!" said the little fishies, "This is fun!
Let's swim and swim 'til the day is done1"
So they swam and they swam, and it was a lark.
Then, all of a sudden, they saw a shark.

chorus

"Help!"cried the little fishies, "Look at all the whales!"
And the three little fishies, they turned onR their tails.
And back to the pool in the meadow

why did people get so upset? As Americans we make fun of all accents and it seems that only certain people are singled out for doing it. For example, I have not yet heard of anyone being upset with The Simpsons for having a very stereotypical Easter Indian on there. (Abu) Also, the American accent as a whole is made fun of overseas. That doesn't really bother me. So, why were people so upset?

That to be born again, is to have ones sins atoned for by His redeeming blood & to confess Jesus Christ ones Lord & believe in ones heart He raised from the dead?

That once you are born spiritually whole: body, soul & spirit; then you are a Christian & always will be a Christian?
