Society & Culture - 20 December 2007

This morning I went to Circle K to break a $100 bill. The clerk told me that I should probably buy an item so he could break it, though. I bought myself a water, and when I went back up to pay, I said, "Merry Christmas" and I gave him $5. He looked at the bill, however, and said, "I don't need that," and then he pushed it across the counter at me.

Did I do something wrong? Why did he reject it in this manner? I went in happy, and I had just gotten a bonus. I was in a sharing mood, and I just wanted to share my luck...

According to Gen. 1:6,7, Psalms 148:4 & 2Peter 3:5 there was, but what type? Is it true that if air pressure increased in Gen. 1:6,7 rain probably would not fall? Anyone know about air pressure? ALSO, how was there light in the beginning of creation before anything was created? Was creation in the dark till light finally appeared?

I know that we all sin....

But I believe there is a difference between sinning and being sinful.

How are ways you stop yourself from sinning..

Is there any history for it? Such as when it originated and what started it? Just one of those questions I thought of while driving home. =P

If God is perfect and never wrong, how come the Angels he made rebelled against him?
Does this mean that God created them wrong?
And does that then mean that God is capable of making errors?
If Forgiveness is at the heart of Christianity, why did God kill all humans except for Noah and his family when they displeased him?
Is God as good and benificent as we are dicatated to?
Or is he a fascist dictator?

We are going to dinner with my husband's boss tonight. His boss has given my husband a truly wonderful bonus this year and I am wondering when is the best time to say thank you and how to say thank you during the meal? Thank you all for your answers.

P.S. There will be another co-worker there who got the same bonus as my husband.

I don't understand this culture trend. A girl I work with claims to be Wiccan and dresses Goth and claims to speak to demons (As does most of her social circle). Isn't Wicca a very nature based religion? I find this behavior confusing and contradictory to say the least. I know very little about Wicca so any EDUCATED response would be APPRECIATED.

Much like their logic.

1. What goes up must come down.
Yet we know things that go up and never come down.
2. Every medication, theory, idea is a great discover, until tomorrow.

seem to speak so rapidly. It is a beautiful melodic language, but I just can't understand why so fast. Maybe it is just my perception.

Do you think there is a special place in hell for baby rapists, baby killers, or baby abusers?

I caught the news last night and there was a woman who abandoned her 2 kids ( a 9 month old and an 18 mo. old)
behind a strip club next to a dumpster wearing only diapers and t shirts.
Do you think or should there be a special place in hell for these cruel and sadistic types of people?

I wonder how much longer God will tolerate the mistreatment of his one of his greatest blessings?

I don't know if this is a spell or just some weird worship or something. Near where I live I found a circle scrapped into the ground about 6 foot wide, in the circle there was different plants tied together in bunches. There was also some little crystal figures in it and one of them was an elephant couldn't tell what the others were.

Does anyone know what this is? is this the work of witches or something else, thanks.

It's been documented that the largest philanthropic donations recently have been from Warren Buffet (30 billion) and Bill Gates (11 Billion), both self-declared atheists.
If atheists don't have a moral code, why are they so darn compassionate and generous?

"In the 3rd century B.C.E. Greek "History of Egypt" by the Egyptian priest Manethos,as excerpted by the Jewish historian Josephus,the inhabitants of Jerusalem were decendants of the impious Hyksos who had terrorized Egypt for 511 years until forced out by King Thutmose. They occupied Egypt again 518 years later and in an alliance with leprous slaves led by a Heliopolitan priest Osarseph-Moses,polluted the people,mutilated idols,and pillaged temples for 13 years until expelled by Amenophis and his son Ramses." Sounds a little different from the Judeo-Christian version. Opinions?

I mean something that you have actually held in your hand or seen with your own eyes and it disappeared? I have read accounts of buildings, ancient edifices that have disappeared and seen something like that once in my life and was wondering if anyone else ever has?
