Doesn't everyone have the little Check Spelling button on the page when they are either writing an question, or when they write an answer to a question? By all means I am not the spelling goddess, or the grammer queen. But is it that hard to write a question or answer that makes sense?

My best friend is a missionary in the Philippines.(we're both LDS.) Well, I'm in love with him, have been for years. I wasn't supposed to, but I wrote him a letter explaining how I feel, and I mailed it to him. *cringes* I know! it was lame and done in a moment of weakness, but nothing I can do right now....

Well, since the Filipino mail system is retarded, I won't get an answer from him until at least January. And I haven't written to him since... AGH! I know I should...but idk if it's smart to write anything else until i hear from him. Should I write like nothing happened, or should i wait the next month or so until he responds to me?

*slaps forehead* I'm such an idiot....but any and all advice/comments are welcome.

I was trying to explain to my friends brother about Santa (He has to raise his brother being as his parents died in an accident) and my friend couldn't explain it so I tried to help. so I told him....

He is an obese (I said fat) man in a red suit that goes tresspassing (I said breaking in) in the middle of the night and giving you things that are mysteriously wraped up while he eats your food.

It was the only way I could explain it. What do you think of my explenation?

It seems almost as though it is any regular week. I don't care about Christmas right now. It just seems like another holiday. I am not getting that special feeling that I used to get during Christmas. It just doesn't seem that exciting. How can I get more into the mood?

it were not for your god threatening you to be good or else?

In other words do you try to do and be good because you fear your god?
and Would you have been any different if that fear and threat of punishment was not there from god, and you knew there was no reward either?

Can Jesus control God or can he control His thinking process so He won't think anything except what Jesus allow Him to think.

so i was watching Law and Order SVU a while ago and since we are learning about race and ethnicity it made me think of it.

there is a boy sitting next to the detective.

The boy is part of a white supremicist group and the detective is african american.

so the boy says something like well at least i didn't draw the short end of the genetic stick and the detective says its been proven there is no genetic difference in races. your heads been filled with crap since you were born.

so was the boy right? its there a difference in genetics? or was the detective right? is there not?

no judging on what was said i just want an answer to the question.

Just based off of the questions asked and the answers received here, it seems as if many of the non-Blacks here hold stereotypical views of Black women. Why do you think people think most Black women are like this?

I would like to know, because the truth is that Black women are amongst the most succesful women in this country. The first female millionaire in this country was a Black woman. I'm pretty sure a Black woman still occupies that top dollar spot as well (Oprah).

So why the stereotypes? Do you watch too many hood movies? Do you only actually know 3 or 4 Black women and have based your opinion off that?

I'm sure the rat pack will give me some lovely answers talking about snapping fingers and necks and etcetera but I'm more interested in actual answers.

Why is it that some poeple feel that there's something they're missing out on, when they have no guide/religion to lean or depend on? This is an honest to goodness question.

Is there anywhere in the bible that states when jesus destiny was revealed. Was he told about his destiny after he was baptised.Or was he revealed it during the 40 days in the destert. Or was it right after he passed the 40 days temptation test and the angels came to him. Please use scripture texts as evidence to answer this question if possible. Thanks

My confirmation teacher was discussing last week that although the Bible calls God "He" all the time, nobody really knows what kind of being God is and what he looks like.

So the other day in chemistry, my friend Margaret and I are talking about the worksheet we were doing, and there was this question on there that was something like, "Why does (some element) bond with (another element) in the way it does?" Margaret and I thought that it was just "because God said so," and we asked our teacher if that was an acceptable answer, she said no. So then we got talking about the movie "Bruse Almighty" somehow and how Morgan Freeman plays God, and then I told her about what my confirmation teacher had said, so she says, "Yeah, God could be a pink fluffy unicorn." So now we are telling everyone that God is a pink fluffy unicorn.

Use your imagination: What do you think God looks like?

Please no answers like "He doesn't exist" or "I don't know, no one does." This just for fun!

8 But of the Son he says,

"Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;therefore God, your God, has anointed you
with the oil of gladness beyond your companions."

As I'm reading more about Asatru my husband is having more questions, centering around the dreaded race issue.

Were Vikings truly racist?
Do you believe only those of Germanic heritage should be allowed to practice Asatru?
Do racist groups associate more often with Asatru than say, Christianity?

Any thoughts and opinions would be greatly appreciated. :)
