The person at the checkout waits for the last minute to start writing a check?
They're standing there, they know the name of the store, but they can't fill out any of the information till the very end. Don't you just want to choke those people?

This is a serious question, and I'm not trying to be disrespectful, it just crossed my mind today and though I'd ask, it has me curious. If you have any verses that can clarify I'd appreciate it - I don't have time to sit and look for them right now, because I'm supposed to be cleaning my house. :) Thanks!

I am a weak atheist mostly, I can tolerate others religions as long as they don't attack me for being atheist, and then its on. However, I am the only atheist in my family. I told my dad, that when he brings his family over to my house for dinner, that I don't want his family and him reciting their prayers outloud in my house. I am an atheist and therefore my house is atheistic. I told him they they are welcome to say it to themselves in their head but I don't want a prayer spoken aloud in my house? Am I being wrong for doing this? It's my house and therefore,its my rules.

Humans can experience sadness, happiness, anger, surprise, disgust, fear, neutrality - in Heaven you *only* feel happiness. As humans, how can we live with only one emotion for ETERNITY? Then we're just happy drone freaks forever and ever. Which in and of itself is suffering. Can't you realize that Heaven is actually Hell?

What if right after Hitler took poison and it started to affect him to the point of no return, he started repenting and asking God for forgiveness for all that he had done which was a sin, would that mean that he is in heaven now?

My wife and I were talking about the new Tim Burton film, Sweeney Todd, that's coming out soon and we got into a discussion about whether or not it was based on fact. She had always believed it was based on a true story and was surprised that I was more skeptical. I'm a college literature professor and have encountered many different early versions of the 'myth' throughout my career. It is different from many other horror films in that the legend does date back to the 1800's. As far as I know, Sweeney Todd was originally a minor character in a short story published by Thomas Prest. Because that was a fictional piece, I've always held the notion that Sweeney Todd himself was a fictional character. I know that that story led to multiple spin offs and stories that revolved around his character (such as the upcoming movie) and I do believe these definitely do not represent an accurate depiction of Sweeney Todd. If he did exist, I believe that he was nothing like the character depicted in the stories and plays. I won't rule out his existence entirely because I do know the original author, Thomas Prest, got many of his character ideas by hunting through newspapers, but I speculate that it is much more likely that Sweeney Todd (most likely with a different name) came from a clipping. He may have taken a murder that occurred in a barber shop and seen an opportunity to embellish the character and make a story. I highly doubt the references to the meat pies are even remotely factual. My wife still disagrees and insists that more elements of the story are true and from what I've encountered in my courses, most of my students feel the same way. I'm open to any input. Does anyone have any opinions on the matter?

I'm part of a secret santa thing this year and got someone that I don't really know much about. I know that he fences, plays the violin, likes to cook, and likes geeky things. I hear he like geeky little gadgets (ex: he has a clock that displays the numbers in binary code in his room). Looking to spend 15-20 dollars. Any suggestions?

How is going to explain that LDS don't care much for gays, Blacks (non in pristhood) Woman (no woman carrys a big part in their church) Single parents (you shouldn't evenkeep your children Give them to a morman couple so they can have a mother and father, not 2 mothers, 0r 2 fathers) and that is just the begaining Plus i don't think there is enough room to go to their planet when the world ends.

I have been really thinking about all that I have been reading in the bible and I can't seem to understand why would God would allow us innocent people to be born with sin because Adam and Eve sinned. I didn' eat the forbidden fruit. I have two children and when one does something wrong and the other hasn't I don't punish them both. That would be wrong and unfair.

And why does God need to prove his sovereignty to Satan. God is the Almighty why should he care what Satan thinks? I would have destroyed Satan, Adam and Eve then started over and would have re-created man until I got it right. I just don't know about this world, the bible, or religion. What is the point :-(
