Then the man asks: "God, how much is a million dollars to you?" God replies " a million dollars is like a penny." Finally the man asks "God, could I you give me a penny?" And God said, "In a minute."

Asalamualaikum.

There is a certain person, this person is a close relative of mine. She is kind of two-faced. For a few days we'll be all nice and friendly but then after a while she goes and backbites about me. If she doesn't like me, then that doesn't bother me but what does bother me is that when she backbites then other people start treating me differently.
What is the best thing to do? I can't avoid her becuz she is a close relation.

The kids letter comes back stamped Dream on, chester.
Kid asks for a new bike, gets a pack of smokes.
Along with his presents, Santa leaves a hefty bill for shipping and handling.
By the time he gets to your house all he has left is foam packing.
Instead of "naughty" and "nice" Santa has him on the stupid list.
Labels on all your kids toys reads "Straight from Craptown."
Four words: "Off my lap, Tubby!"

It's like no Christian that believes in eternal torment thinks it's weird. Love + Eternal Torment = Acceptable Behavior For An Omniscient, Omnipotent, Infinitely Loving Being? NOT.

So, are ANY of you Christians (at least the ones that BELIEVE there is an eternal torment) angered, disappointed or at the least even slightly confused by this apparent discrepancy/ conundrum/ profound paradox? Do any of you feel any emotion on this subject?

My family is trying something different this year, we are giving no presents. We have cut back on the total number of gifts in recent years, and this year we are not giving any gifts. Do you think it would feel like Christmas in your family if there were no gifts?

Would you like some advice for enjoying the next one?
When you see a photo of the interviewers family on the desk, point and start laughing uncontrollably.
Ask if there is only one emergency exit, grin and say; "Boy! I bet this entire floor would be in trouble if someone barricaded that."
After detailing your greatest achievement, qualify with "of course I was totally hammered at the time."
Over emphasize your ability to use a copier.
Tell them you will have little impact on the overhead budget, because you swiped all the supplies from from your other job.
Mention your resume would have been stronger but you didn't feel like making anything else up.
When making small talk and the Simpson trial comes up, shout "You mean Marge and Homer are in some kind of trouble?"
Upon walking into the office for the first time ask the receptionist to hold all your calls.
Constantly fidget with your underwear waistband, then blurt: "the strawberry ones are the stickiest ones, don't ya think?"

All cultures have always had gods -or a god

All through history there has been a religon wherever we found people -

And those gods all had somthing to say - they all had an instruction list of some sort even if it was as simple as bring me food or as complex as a specific code of behaviour

What has it been in man in our society our cultures for thousands of years and all over the globe - a need a belief of or in a god(s)

And why is it so seldom looked at in this light ?
