Is it dishonest of me to keep my iPod earplugs in even if I don't actually have the thing on to keep the annoying guy sitting next to me from talking to me?

I left several months ago, and I've been experiencing alot of bitterness and resentment towards their religion and its members.
Is this normal? Will it pass?

How are we able to grow anything? The amount of salt water that would have been absorbed into the soil would have rendered it sterile for a few thousand years, yet Noah was growing grapes very shortly after the flood.

If you are going to tell me that the oceans were less salty please provide me with documented evidence of such.

I wonder how many more people would be Christian if they didn't bind the NT with the OT.

Ok for sometime now it has been obvious that my neighbours have been watching us through our patio sliding door windows out their bedroom window. but now they actually have a camera visible and we all here can see it. I am a legal secretary keep in mind and I won't do anything illegal or wrong. But I would like to do something to piss them off back so they will stop taping us walking around our house in our underware. While I encourage neighbourhood watch this is rediculous!!!! I don't like them peeping at us. My husband however could care less and likes to keep the blinds open to keep an eye on valuables in our yard such as bikes and what not that we have laying around. I would prefer that they place their camera elsewhere rather than peering into our living quarters. So I would like to do something nasty inside our home visible to their camera, for example like worse than making faces or waving at the camera to have them get the idea we don't appreciate it. Does anyone have IDEAS?

Christians always go on about free-will.

However, the scriptural evidence seems to be in overwhelming favor of predestination.

Is there support for free-will in the bible or is Calvin correct?

I just realized that most people don't seem to know this. Most regular Christmas lights have a warning on the box and/or cord tag that says the coating for the wires contains lead and that you should wash your hands after you handle the lights. And obviously you shouldn't let kids play with the lights. How many people out there knew this? I'm curious because there have been so many recalls lately of things that contain lead, but Christmas lights are never mentioned.

I heard many times that Christians believe that God loves everybody (even bad people??) & Jesus took everybody's suffering so that other can go to heaven.
Is above true?
If he loves everybody how does bad people get punished?

When is a pine tree just a tree & a Christmas tree a religious symbol of one's faith? Is a blow up Frosty the snowman a religious symbol or just a fat snowman with a smirk? Does one candle in 8 windows mean it's for Hanukkah or is it just decoration? Did you just make snow angels on yellow snow or did you just flatten a squirrel underneath?

i was just reading about a case in texas where a man was executed for murder even though he was not present when the crime was committed, and even though the murderee was killed by a single shot which everyone agreed the murderer had not fired.

http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/Issue/story?oid=oid%3A451599

of course it was texas, and the murderer was black while the murderee was a white jew.

can somebody explain the texas murder laws to me? or is it just that in texas being black is always a capital offence?
