For the love of money is the root of all evil.. Why is the preachers on t.v. always asking for donations and?

selling dvds, cds, books, etc.... I know we need to give to poor churches so they can keep the lights on...etc...I heard 1 preacher had a toilet that was over a 100,000 dollars. now that is wrong. If I want to give I'll give. But I hate it when it seems like they are forceful. When the preacher makes a good point then here comes the baskets... I remember when Jesus came into temple and they had made it a market place and He was upset.. I just wonder if they are going overboard with this money thing?

Is it rude to let someone pay for your purchases...?

... because you forgot your money?

Say you go to Kmart with a buddy, and you need a few things. You're ready to go to the cashier and pay, and then realize you took your money out of your wallet last night because you went to a party and didn't want to get mugged. You exclaim "I can't believe I did this! I feel so stupid..." and your friend lends you the money, no big deal. You leave Kmart.

But you really need a few things at another store, so you bring your friend across the street and grab a few things. Again, you haven't got any money, so you let your friend buy your stuff, promising you'll pay him/her back later.

You get home, then tally up the receipts and find out how much you owe your friend - should you include tax? You haven't got exact change now, so you write an I.O.U. Was it rude in the first place to let your friend buy your things, then bring him/her to another store after not being able to pay at the first?

What do you believe happens to animals when they die?

And why?

Recently, my the cat that we gave to my sister-in-law was killed. My husband loved this cat very much and he is very upset- she was a very nice kitty.

Atheists, I know majority of you do not believe in souls so we just decompose in the ground, but I'm wondering what others believe regarding to animals. Thanks!

How do you possibly believe that the nature of man was anything but the nature of God?

Why did God need to test the nature of man and more specificly his mental disipline to subject to his lead? he just created mankind right? Is it possible for us to do anything but reflect our creator?

Can someone please explain this statement to me?

"You are a liar. Because you are a Satanist, it is _completely impossible_ that you have only had one sexual partner in your lifetime. Only Christians truly understand the point and purpose of monogamy and saving one's body for their spouse."

Has winter come early to your part of the world?

We dont usually get snow until almost Christmas, and then we are all hoping for a white Christmas. It doesnt usually get really cold here until January, but its been snowing for a week now. Today its -12C (thats 12 degrees below freezing) and its damn cold out there.

I had to go to the store and my car never even warmed up, its about 9 blocks. I just cleared about 5 inches of snow off the car for that, and now its covered again.

I really dont like this, too much, too soon. I can think of a lot of reasons why a person should live in a much warmer climate.
"Winter Wonderland" is over-rated.

Last year my daughter and SIL were living up north, he was working on the rigs, and there snow almost covered the windows in their basement suite. But thats NORTH - we arent supposed to have extreme winters.

"They" are predicting this could the coldest winter Canadians have had - oh yay (not) Colder than 1994 when it hit -65 in Northern Alberta

This is a serious question I would like a serious answer to??

Why do people believe the words in the Bible, Qu`ran and the Torah when they were written by men who said they were the words of god? And if you believe those books do you also believe people like david Koresh who said he was sent from heaven by god? And if you don`t why not surely its the same sort of thing?

Do you tip the maid at the hotel?

My mother is maid and so was my grandmother. I was just wondering because my mom comes home with all kinds of stories of the filth she cleans up after people. She doesn't always get a tip when they check out. She tries to make extra money by collecting cans that the guests use.

Would you feel bad for a woman who flirted all night, drinking heavy, and passed out and got sexualy asaulted?

My thinking is no, not really, not on a personal level. Just as I wouldn't feel very sympathetic to someone who sniffed glue all day and then jumped into the tiger pit at a zoo. Offcourse I would want the guy who did it to be punished to the full extent of the law. Two dumb people made really stupid decisions that night, the girl literaly got screwed so the guy should atleast get legaly screwed as much as possible, and maybe screwed in jail lol.

But to pass off the woman as some innocent who did no wrong, that's really pushing it. If you live a reckelss lifestyle you get wrecked, right? What do you all think?
