Hello, My mother is a Catholic as am I. She has been all her life but being a child of Presbyterian parents she has never had Confirmation. She is 50 and would like to get Confirmed. I was wondering if anyone can help me in finding out where we can go for Confirmation for her. I know we can go to our Church but she wants to be Confirmed not just by herself in front of a crowd and not with just the little children and her. She is a shy women. We are from Sydney. Also I was wondering if a person can get reconfirmed? I was Confirmed many years ago but would like to be reconfirmed with my mother if I once again can. And do I have to chose a Saints name or can I choose a Holy place as my name? Thank you all for your help. Very much appreciated. Merry Christmas and bless you all.

Say you are the last survivor of an elite research team who discovered a tribal society deep in the jungle that practiced human sacrifice, cannibalism, and slavery. The rest of your colleagues were captured, tortured unspeakably, killed, and eaten by the members of this tribe. You have video evidence of their violence against your crew. What should be done about this society you encountered?

When I say is it true I mean all of it.

If so then how do you respond to the fact that there are 101 clear contradictions in it?
Go to answering-christianity.com and look for 101_bible_contradictions.

How can you rely on a text with so many errors?

Don't even bother to answer if you can't come up with an answer that I don't have to be a Christian to buy into. This is an academic question that deserves a THOUGHTFUL response not a lecture on how I need to accept Christ as my personal saviour.

For those that believe a baby is a 'gift from God'. And God doesn't make 'mistakes'...how do you explain miscarriages?

Don't read too much into the question, just explain please.

Especially if they are more in step with the original teachings? And do Modern day mormons (LDS) reject any other teachings of Joseph Smith, or just this one?

There are no less than 3 Bibles all different.
1. Protestant (King James) which has 66 books
2.Catholic Bible which has 73 books
3.Coptic Bible which has 81 books.
Which one is correct ? How do you justify your answer since some books are included in some Bibles while others are not ?

For myself, my life is a catelogue of failures, and nothing more. I am a failed artist, a failed writer, a failed partner, a failed friend, even a failed socialist. In time, I think the resume of life that we have to look at becomes our basis for relating to things spiritual.

God, it seems, pays attention to the success stories, not life's failures. Were it not for my failures I wouldn't be conspicuous at all. This, however, is no spiritual enhancement, or credit to any deity.

What about you? Do you have successes that God has shined his light upon? Do you perhaps feel the credit for them is due him? When you can count your successes on earth, does this equate to successes in Heaven....or even the means of reaching Heaven?

Not the best constructed question, I know, but I am running low on inspiration---even negative inspiration.

if you find the FACTS, you will know it's not as strong as alcohol, you cannot overdose, and no physical addiction so if you are weak minded, stay away. so why do you hate what you dont even understand? GOD CREATED WEED. he didnt make coke or meth, you have to add baking soda and other crap. I see it as a test to see if you are responsible or not. those who abuse it RUIN it for the ones who ARE RESPONSIBLE. yes, we do exist, I can quit WHENEVER i want. it's like ice cream. have it or not doesnt matter for me. been clean for over a month after smoking weed 2 times a day everyday. GIVE ME A GOOD REASON because i dont operate machinery, drive, go to school, cause public disturbance, smoke around non smokers, and i dont go to work high either. so you hate me? because i smoke? you hate your parents if they sip beer? why? it's legal? i dont think it matters. but give me a good reason.

I have no idea if this has been on YA before, but the first third of this film, attempts to prove that christianity is, like most other religions, founded based on a huge conglomerations of other religious ideas.

http://zeitgeistmovie.com/

It's at least an interesting film, even if you don't agree with it. Be warned, if you don't have alot of experience with the ideas presented here, it can be very convincing, it is well-presented, at least. Don't let one source decide your mind.

The last two thirds are your basic conspiracy theory setups, if you have interest in the subject.

I've got this newcoworker that I'm supposed to train and he complains too much, im losing it.?
I'm not really into training, but I am required at my job to train some people that are new. I think I explain things as clear as I can, and I have patience. But there is this one guy at work that I have sat with for an hour the past 3 days to show him things on the computer and he constantly complains and doesn't like computer and how they work, and he doesn't like doing things my way and tried to always cut corners. I'm trying to be patient but I just get quiet when he says some smart **** remarks. I really like my job and I haven't been here long and all this pressure is starting to get to me because I don't want my boss to feel like I'm a failure. I have soo many jobs that I'm juggling right now that it can be overwhelming at times. And I don't want to tell my boss I can't handle it because I'm afraid they may let me go if they find out I'm getting stressed from all this pressure. I am the only one on my team that knows all the little details of what we do, its not easy, help!

One major cause of Cancer is genetic mutations within the human genome...

Since many, if not most of you, point to the genetic mutations within certain bacteria that make then immune to certain antibiotics as evidence of the evolution of that bacteria...

As stated, Cancer can also be caused by genetic mutations, is that evolution?
