no, seriously it seems like their are more better paying jobs with fewer hours like private contracters in iraq make $600 a day tax free. hell strippers and porn stars make more money than college educated people and all they have to do is show off their goods or suck something on camera . and yes not everyone can do that cause of psychological effects or just plain don't have good bodys.hell bounty hunters make alot of money too almost the same as mercenaries although mercenaries aren't allowed to go back to their native soil. but all in all college educations don't do squat but make you work your *** off and make you pay back most of the good money you earned for no reason

meat and soup? Is that how they fly in the movies? I mean in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon they are so graceful flying through the air it reminds me of reindeer on Santa's sleigh. Is that the reason they can fly now?

I have been friends with this person for about six years. She says that she is a Christian, but her actions suggest otherwise. It is not for me to judge this. That is not the issue. Only God knows people's hearts.

She is a pathological liar. She believes her own lies, so therefore, trying to reason with her and help her face the truth is impossible. She just continues to tell more lies. She is constantly in court over issues that she has brought about herself, that she blames others for. She has been through multiple marriages and love relationships which never last because of her lies. Her own family has disowned her.
She has manipulated me and used me over and over again and I forgave her over and over again until recently, I decided that I have had enough and ended the friendship. I told her that I forgave her for everything she did in the past, but was choosing to stop being friends.
Am I sinning by doing this? Is this unforgiveness in God's eyes?

Ok, so I'm only 21 right now but I'm a little worried about this. It seems like most of the pedophiles are in or past their middle ages, like age 40-60. Most of them like young boys, and I know from history that many of the Roman citizens and politicians had their own slave boys which they performed sexual acts with.

This is all very disturbing to me, but I am just wondering, this is disgusting because it's basically homosexuality. Are these men all homosexual for wanting to do things with little boys, or is there something that changes in a man's mind when they reach a certain age that makes young boys sexually desirable? Some of these people seem to have no preference between young boys and young girls, but it seems like most prefer boys - why?

Lately, I've been meeting many people who don't believe in Hell. I asked on individual what happens to sinners. He commented "Nothing. They just die". Oblivion is painless, so why would the religious take pains to obey the commands of God.

Some say that hell is the grave and the dead know nothing more and quote Ecclesiastes 9:5 where it says the dead don't know anything. I believe this is written from the point of view of life on earth and they know nothing about what is happening on earth after they die.
In Luke 16:23 it talks about the rich man being in hell and being in torment. I believe this is the soul and spirit that are in a real and terrible hell.
Anyway I want to know what you believe and why and maybe you have another point of view that I have not considered,

Is intelligent design theory a valid scientific alternative to evolutionary theory or is it only a religious view?

Is there a consensus in the scientific community one way or the other on this issue?

The idea of God was not a lie but a device of the unconscious which needed to be decoded by psychology.

A personal god was nothing more than an exalted father-figure: desire for such a deity sprang from infantile yearnings for a powerful, protective father, for justice and fairness and for life to go on forever. God is simply a projection of these desires, feared and worshipped by human beings out of an abiding sense of helplessness.

Religion belonged to the infancy of the human race; it had been a necessary stage in the transition from childhood to maturity. It had promoted ethical values which were essential to society.

Now that humanity had come of age, however, it should be left behind. [A History of God] -Freud
