In the past whenver i gifted a gift-card, the envelop or folder that came with the gift-card had a space to write the amount, which I wrote, or sometimes the salesperson themselves wrote it! Urrghh!!
My kid is gifting her teacher a gift card. The gift card is held in a plastic pocket around the neck of a small stuffed toy. Should I find a spot near the "from", "to" and discreetly write the amount?

So question is, when gifting gift cards, should the amount be mentioned somewhere, or does the recipient call the 800 number, enter the 16 digit number and find out later?

Theists and atheist alike, would a newly developed civilization need to establish a religion or set of beliefs in order to function properly. This is just a question and I'm not challenging anyone's beliefs or lack of. I just need a answer to prove someone wrong.

This person also says, "The Ancient Egyptians were a bunch of waring tribes and the strongest one created the Egypt Gods to control the others under control. Without it, they would still be waring tribes in the desert."

We all know that lots of questions get asked repeatedly of us here on Y!A--now, no one's complaining ;-) but which question are you most tired of answering, or which answer are you most tired of giving?

Peace

I've got mine in mind.

You know, Jesus will never leave or forsake you. He is waiting for you with open arms. Don't deny him.

Does one's religion or religious values lead to inherent goodness? Is one's ability to be "good" independent of one's religious manifestations?
What do you think?

Please, no rants, just an orderly, educated discussion.

my school is making me cut my hair because its too long. I realize that trying to keep my long hair becuase of some crazy religion is farfetched, but im desperate... also any thoughts on this plan would be helpful too. plan= join religion that requires no haircuts. Then when i return to school and the princepal tries to send me home ill just tell her that i cant cut my hair becuase its part of my religion. They then can not send me home due to my religious beliefs. my hair is saved!

Many people answer questions with answers like, well freedom of speech, they had the right to say it, you have the right to express yourself and so do they.....

Dont you think there are many times when someone might have the right to say something, but probably shouldnt, and if they insist on saying it, then they deserve the criticism back for it?


(please try not to use this question to just bash on people you dont agree with because you can state differences of beliefs or opinions in a respectful way that doesnt deserve criticism and those arent the circumstances I am talking about)

All Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and also IS God, being the 2nd Person of the Trinity, along with the Father and the Holy Spirit. Jesus is also the son of Mary. Now many Protestants are quite prepared to say "Mary, Mother of Jesus," but balk at saying "Mary, Mother of God." Why?

There is probably an element of cultural conditioning here. Giving Mary such a title like Mother of God seems too grand to many protestants. For centuries most protestants have tried to ignore Mary, and have avoided all talk and discussion of her - except perhaps to condemn Catholic "excesses". But this is a serious matter. To call Mary the "Mother of Jesus" and yet refuse to call her "Mother of God" is to diminish Jesus as well as Mary, for it is a denial that Jesus is truly or fully God.

The Virgin Mary is the Mother of ALL of the PERSON of Jesus Christ, and is therefore truly Mother of God the Son.

Why deny Mary as the Mother of God the son?

A Sudanese boy was crucified by his master after being enslaved by him. He was caught escaping to attend a christian church. Now, what really exasperates me is this HUGE emphasis people have put on the word 'Muslim' when mentioning the crucifixion!!!!

Who's the racist here?
Were they even practicing true Islam????

I'm Muslim and as far as I know hurting and killing people are two of our greatest sins.
I'm not supporting those sinners. I'm defending the boy because the Quran mentions you can NEVER discriminate against anybody because of their faith: everybody must be treated equally.

How could they be so hypocritical?
In the past, even people who were Christian commited crimes. Are we allowed to discriminate against you because your ancestors ****** up many nations and imposed their faith on other people????

NO. That's a sin in Christianity! To impose a belief on somebody else!
So we just say: They weren't true practitionners of Christianity.

The question is:

A golfer is in a competitive match with a friend, who is ahead by a couple of strokes. The golfer says to himself, "I'd give anything to sink this next putt."

A stranger walks up to him and whispers, "Would you give up a fourth of your sex life?"

The golfer thinks the man is crazy and that his answer will be meaningless. At the same time he thinks this might be a good omen, so he says, "Okay," and sinks the putt. Two holes later he mumbles to himself, "Boy, if I could only get an eagle on this hole."

The same stranger moves to his side and says, "Would it be worth another fourth of your sex life?"

The golfer shrugs and says, "Sure." He makes an eagle. On the final hole, the golfer needs yet another eagle to win. Though he says nothing, the stranger moves to his side and says, "Would you be willing to give up the rest of your sex life to win this match?"

The golfer says, "Certainly!" He makes the eagle.

As the golfer walks to the club house, the stranger walks alongside and says, "You know, I've really not been fair with you because you don't know who I am. I'm the devil, and from now on you will have no sex life."

"Nice to meet you," says the golfer. "My name's...
Father O'Malley!"
