My dear friends, I pray you are all doing well today. I wish the best for all of you today. I hope that you will have a great meal, great time with your family and friends, and that your day is free from the tensions that so often crop up when families get together.
I pray all the best for you today. I hope you will remember as your day goes by that this is THANKSgiving. We should give thanks everyday. But, maybe you could use this day today to give thanks to our Awesome God for some of the things that you have let slip by this past year. For God is good and we should thank Him for the small things as well as the big things. I love you all, Cat

I've read several articles and watched many videos about Rabbis who believe that Jews are not allowed to have a state of their own. However Israel is a Jewish nation and has (according to my belief) a majority of devout Jews. Where do Israelis stand and where do the rest of the world's Jews stand?

Serious answers only please..... NO bashing

I see two dynamics at work:

1) The theory is a useful working hypothesis

and

2) The theory is a law of nature itself.

Number 1) is generally sound and probably could not be argued against very effectively.

However, it is number 2) that concerns me.

One Dr. Marsh stated: "I need offer no argument for evolution, since to doubt evolution is to doubt science, and science is only another name for truth." (in Dewar, "Difficulties of the Evolution Theory.)

Granted, this statement was made in the 1880s. However, it doesn not sound out of place today.

If scientists regard evolution as not only a useful working hypothesis, but a LAW OF NATURE itself, doesn't evolutionary theory then enter the realms of metaphysics, mythology, and philosophy (all valid areas of study, but non-testable)?

If you speak in tongues then shouldn't you start practicing it from today? To spend eternity there and speak will take lot of practice initially.

I'm not religious myself, but i have a friend who is a christian. I was jotting down my to-do list and i wrote "xmas". She said it's a term thats offensive to christians. I can see her point; after all, the word "Christ" has been removed. But is it really a big deal, i was only scribbeling a note? I hope this dosent cause offense to anyone. Thanks

...when that is the day most people travel, assuming they don't get Wednesday off. So Thursday is busy with travel and rush-rush-rush, meaning the actual family celebration would be on Friday, so they miss the football games.

And in Canada, Thanksgiving is on the 2nd Monday of October, which is the last day of our long weekend. So often up here the actual family dinner is on Sunday and Monday is spent returning from the visit.

I say US Thanksgiving should be on the Friday and Thursday can be free for travel and in Canada, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving should also be a holiday, to allow for families to celebrate on Monday and then travel back on Tuesday. Plus shorter weeks after a long weekend make the sting of going back to work a lot less.

What do you all think?

I am trying to re-write a question that I previously asked, and that only 3 or 4 people actually understood.

Do satanists worship Satan, or do they just worship nothing?

For some strange reason, when I walk into a store and here the man ringing his bell, and look at all the christmas decorations and gifts, it slightly puts a knot in my stomache, like Oh God, it's a new year, or is this what christmas is all about?

I hear people talk about their christmas list for gifts, and I wonder what is the true meaning of it anymore?

well essentially im married to an east indian and like all east indian men he believes that men are the boss and women are just arnd to cook food and make babies. I would like to wear the pants in my relationship and a friend of mine suggested that if i turned the tables and i made him feel like a woman i could possibly change his mindset. Since he is east indian he isnt a very big guy and i can generally easily overpower him so when i want to i can make things work my way in the bedroom. I actually wanted to know from any women who have done this, whether it phsycologically affects a guy in a way that he will eventually become more subserviant to you. I want him to humiliate him so he will no longer think of me as the submissive partner who just allows him to act like a chauvanistic man. any suggetions on what i should make him wear and what i should say to him would be appriciated. i was thinking of putting him in a sari since it is the traditional dress for women in his country

Did you all know that schools throw out pounds of good food every day. It is so sad to see all the food that is left over throw out in the garbage each and every day. The schools have a policy that prohibits any one from taking any of the food home or giving it away to anyone. They would rather throw the good food in the garbage than give it to someone that could use it. I have seen steak fingers, pig in the blankets, turkey, ham, green beans, corn, sandwiches, dressing, whole cakes, brownies, cookies, etc. get throw in the trash. I am talking about gallons of good food being thrown out each day.

I think of all the people out there that are straving when I see all that food being thrown out. I was always taught NOT to waste food when I was growing up. Then I see the schools wasting all that good food. I think it is really sad.

Do you think that such a man, who caused so much damage to the original inhabitants of this land should be memorialized this way?

Am I mistaking about this? As far as I know satanism is an atheist religion in wich you worship nobody but yourself.
