I assume that homeless and the poor tend to steal toilet paper and paper towels but does anyone have a good answer?

It's like the candy dish at a secretary's desk, your not supposed to take it all, but you can. My life would be complete if I saw someone shove a loose roll's worth into their pockets.

I was involved in a car wreck this morning. The other guy couldn't see me because the sun was in his eyes. The first time he actually saw me was after we collided and he got out of his truck and shielded his eyes from the sun. Instead of backing out a little bit to allow me to pull over to the side of the road (he was imbedded in my van and I couldn't move until he did), he started praying. So I yell a little louder can you please back up just an inch so we can both get out of the road. He either pretended not to hear me or was too deep in his prayer cause he just stood there with his eyes closed and kept praying. We have traffic all around us and people are pissed and honking and the guy just prays. After 10 minutes of this I say I think jesus would want you to get in your truck and back it up a little bit. He gets pissed hops in his truck and slams the door and just sits there til the cop gets there. Cop gets there and yells at him to move his truck.

Hebrews 4 :12 shows us that the Word of God is living and operative and sharper than a two edged sword.
Why is the Word referred to in such a way.I am particularly interested in the " two" edged part of it.

Ty for all the verses to support your answer and for taking the time to post
In Christ

A 10-year old aboriginal girl got gang-raped by 6 men in Australia. The rapists got NO prison sentences. Only 12 month probation.

http://edition.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/asiapc...

What are your feelings about this?

1)The aboriginal girl didnt provoke the rape, she was innocent just 10 years old.
2) There were no prison/jailed sentence at all for the RAPISTS! Raping a 10 year old innocent girl. The sentences in the Australian case fly in the face of Australian law and public opinion.

I read an article urging atheists to declare victory on certain issues and move on. The author said that any time spent debating evolution or biblical errors is wasted because these are established facts.

(1) Do you agree with this suggestion?

(2) Is there a practical way to "move on"?

isn't this just a cop out for saying "god is not going to do what you ask him to do"? indeed the percentage of "miracles" in say the field of medicine that occur because of prayer are on par with the number of that occur without prayer. couldn't one just assume that these are not miracles then?

Seriously , there was a Christian group who said Sponge Bob was teaching our kids to be gay. Another Christian said Star Trek was giving out Anti- Christian messages. The list goes on and on. My 3 year old watches Sponge Bob and she's not gay. Get over yourself , Christian!

Yeah Yeah I know people love their animals, but isn't their a better cause to push for. I believe the horrible organization of Peta pushed too much for Micheal Vicks Sentence. Can we get civil rights and childrens rights in a better place and than worry about animals? Peta worries more about animal cruelty than children being abused and neglected. Give me your feedback on peta.

Which makes me ask, why do creationists continue to box themselves in with the premise that proof of god's existence is in those things that science cannot explain? That just tosses the guantlet to scientists so that they work harder to explain further. Truth is, science and spirituality are not mutually exclusive. Consequently, the more that believers try and justify their beliefs by saying "you find god in the dark, unknown places" the more they box themselves in when science finds a way of shinning light into those dark, unknown places.

It's time to accept the fact that evolution is real and exists. It's also time for believers to find a way to reconcile that fact.

Your thoughts?

Hi Folks,

I know that we are not all in a position to pick & choose ideal employment, but when I encounter miserable and grumpy folks, who are fed up with their work life, I wonder "well, do something else more suited, then".

I have chosen a career in an area of designing & installing power stations in remote parts of the world, so get to play with helicopters & big trucks etc.

My first college holiday job was putting thousands of toy tractor tyres on toy tractor wheels.
Soul destroying.

Surely, in an ideal work environment, which doesn't exist, we should all strive to look forwards to going to work, as we then enjoy it as a big part of our lives.

What do you do, and what do you you reckon on this notion ?

Have you people read anything at all about the history of christianity? To call the first "pope" a "roman catholic" is ludicrous. The first followers of Jesus were following creeds that would be completely unrecognizable as "roman catholic". There were no priests, no vows of celibacy, bishops, etc.... The whole church heirarchy is a relic of European feudalism. The vows of celibacy came about to preserve church property from transfer through marriages, there was no limbo, purgatory, they didn't worship Mary as a divinity and intercessor, there was no immaculate conception... and on and on and on.

When every religion and non religous people beleive that there is only one god?Should we consider religion as the resource to beleive that we are far from god?

We have to bring a white elephant gift to my company party this Friday. I think it would be funny to give away my wife's aunt's ashes because we don't really want them. My wife says it's kind of weird, but I think it's a great idea. My wife thinks we should give them to her brother for Christmas instead, but that would probably just start a big fight because no one else in the family knows we have them (don't ask).

Any suggestions? Thanks!
