It would have to be regulated, and monitored only when necessary, by Authorities, but do you think this would be advantageous?

I should be happy... I'm supposedly better off materially than most other middle easterners and 70% of the rest of the world... but I'm still so unhappy...

I've been a foreigner all my life - I'm a foreigner in my home country, and I'm a foreigner in America... I'm a foreigner to everybody.

What to do, what to do? Why are people everywhere just so miserable?

After a conversation with a client about his biggest pet peeve or getting gift cards to places that he doesn't shop, we discussed the idea of having a contest for the worst gifts received. You can read more about it at www.WhatNotToGive.com, but I'd love to hear your stories here. Thanks for sharing.

It appears the Osmond’s have been waging an all out campaign to crown Marie the Queen on DWTS. From her fainting spell, to her father’s death (I don’t think that was orchestrated), to the Larry King Show and then her son in rehab, to Donnie on Entertainment Tonight, she and her family have been lobbying really really hard to get her the dancing ball. They are shameless. Do you think the Mormon vote will win it for her??? Don’t be surprised if they pull this one off. It is good to see that I was not the only one who thought there was something “funny” going on....

I know there is no 2+2=God, there also is no 2+2=No God. Where is the proof that God didn't create the earth the way scientists have proven? Where is that "proof?" And why can't anybody give me a straight answer.

"Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. " The book of Genesis gives basic idea's of what happend, but there is no step by step guide to what exactly he did, and what exactly happend. Its not like anybody was there to see it.

What is your definition of "God"? (or "a god[ess]" if you're pagan)?

Before you say "Check the Holy Bible" please realize that I've read it. I'm asking what YOUR definition of God is.

Since there will be many varying answers, what if anything does that say about the feasibility of any given religion getting it right? Is it important to get it right? Does your definition of God coincide with your religious teachings? Does it contradict some of them in any way? Are you honest enough to realize when it does?

Please avoid cutting and pasting, but if you must please keep it to a paragraph.

(I realize there is several questions there. Feel free to answer any, all or none of the extra questions, the Primary question is the most important.)

Did they actually break their promise yet, or don't you think they did and therefore forfeit any right to having THEIR secrets about what they do (borrowing and not paying back, LYING, etc.) kept?

What they do to you? Like if they PROMISE you something, and your only promise is not to tell anyone what they did, and they don't keep ANY promise they make to you, shouldn't you be allowed to tell someone about at least SOME of it? Or should you just become more beaten down and quiet. HELLO!

It's the Book of Ecclesiastes.

Why?

Because Ecclesiastes (literally "teacher") most likely wasn't some fellow sucking up and buttkissing God. No, he was probably some relatively bitter middle-aged man with the better part of his life finished, and he was passing on what he had learned.

"Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.

Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment.

Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun.

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest."

These are some of the wisest words I've ever read.

Fellow atheists, do you respect anything in the Bible?

I am an English teacher from England, teaching in Saudi Arabia. I have noticed that the Americans have very bad grammar.

For example they will say : 'did you eat'? when you should say 'have you eaten'? (because the time is unspecified). Since all Americans seem to make this mistake (using the past simple instead of the present perfect tense) should I just accept that they are speaking American (not English) and not correct them?
