Sometimes women are overly suspicious of their husbands.
When Adam stayed out very late for a few nights, Eve became upset.

"You're running around with other women," she charged.

"You're being unreasonable," Adam responded.
"You're the only woman on earth!"

The quarrel continued until Adam fell asleep, only to be awakened by someone poking him in the chest. It was Eve.

"What do you think you're doing?" Adam demanded.

"Counting your ribs," said Eve!

Ok, so I'm due to work late over Christmas period and finishing On Christmas day around 1.30am!

I hate this job and was gonna call in sick but a wanky colleague grassed me up and manager warned me. However, I feel so strongly about not working for this place that I am thinking about faking an injury, fainting/collapsing at work, etc, just need a couple of days off, but needs to be something good enough to get away with!

If it isn't, isn't it time for the Christians to claim it is.

All vestiges of Roman religion must be dissolved.

I have a 15 yr. old, 12 yr. old, and 9 yr. old. I also spoiled them on Christmas, I know my OWN fault. I was never able to spoil them throughout the year so I did it on Christmas. Now I don't have much money and bills are piling up. I just WISH I could skip the holidays ALL together. Anyone else feel the same way?

When you have failed to provide a single strand of evidence of your god that can pass each and every test and scrutiny it is subjected to?

Why don't you stick to your faith and live in "bliss"?

She told us that she bought herself her Christmas gift. $700 worth of landscaping, much of it paid for with cash and gift cards that she'd begged for on her birthday earlier this month.

Now she's saying that because of this, she can't afford any gifts except for those for our three youngest cousins. (My cousins range in age from 14 to my 33-year-old self.) The rest of us are "too old" to have any kind of presents anyway. Yet those of us who are "too old" have gotten her the gift cards she begged for, at least $10 or $25 worth.

She also tried getting us to go to a poor neighbor's house on Christmas and give them stuff in person, which several of us thought would embarrass them, because she says we were never taught about charity. Our parents beg to differ, and so does the guy at H&R Block when he does my tax write-offs.

So, what is the right response to my grandmother when I see her? Because I'd like to organize a game of rugby on her new lawn, with cleats.

It seems to me that if you entertain the possibility of gods and goddesses at all, then there is no way of knowing which of the hundreds of deities that humans have worshipped all over the world and throughout history is the real one, if any. Statistically the chances of having chosen the right one are tiny. Maybe the real one hasn't even been 'discovered' yet. Do theists therefore spend a lot of time in a cold sweat, panicking that they might end up in some other god's version of eternal torment? If not, why not?

considering much of the merchandise at goodwill or thrift stores are from estates and deceased persons, you would think that some of these items might be attached to a spirit. anyways, i was showering this morning and i heard a scream coming from my living room. it was clear as a bell and i was the only one in the house. maybe it was the chair i just bought from goodwill. it's so damn comfortable, though. maybe the former owner thought so too.

What are the deeds?

Have you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, or are you trying to get saved without Him?

Mark Twain said it was the first duty of a Christian mother to soil her child's mind. Isn't that what Sunday school is all about?

Is it fair to take a trusting child and fill their innocent heads with centuries old drivel, just so they feel guilty and unworthy? How does this differ from what the jihadists do to their children?

If it is a crime to harm a child's body, should it not be equally criminal to wound its spirit?

a girl on this forum asked for others to pray for her, i said a 'hail Mary' for her, but as usual i included everyone else. in your opinion does it lose anything when instead of praying for individuals, you include the whole world? i saw a bumper sticker that said" God bless the whole world-no exceptions" i'm sure it was in response to the many "God bless america" stickers. does it lose any meaning because it is all inclusive? isnt it better to include everyone on earth in your prayers? or would God think that to generalized.

Often fundamentalists adhere to a strictly literal interpretation of Genesis and other scriptural events, but when it gets to later chapters (e.g. Revelations), all kinds of symbolism and metaphor is brought in to play regarding a fig tree (previously in Y!A interpreted as the state of Israel), the beast and the harlot, when and where and how the end of the world will come about, etc. Why the split approach rather than all literal or all metaphor and how do you determine when to apply each?

backstabbing, disobedience to parents, fighting with sisters and brothers, etc are awful sins before God.

Aren't we blessed that we do not get saved by deeds???
