According to the Young Earth Creationists, leap seconds occur in 23/34 years and that shows that the Earth is slowing to rapidly to be older than 6000 years. There's no leap second at the end of this year. There has only been one leap second since 1999, when the Creationists say there should have been six. Does this mean that the Creationists have lied?

Wet Preacher

One day there was this preacher and he was having his usual sermon when all of a sudden it started raining, really, really, hard! After about one full hour of complete non-stop rain, they started making evacuations because the whole church was flooding, but the preacher just stood there in the ankle-deep water.

A guy in a car came up to him and said. "Preacher, Preacher you better get in here before you drown!" But the preacher just replied "Don't worry God will save me." The man then said "Whatever!" and drove away.

The water was now knee-deep and a guy in a raft came over to the Preacher and said "Preacher, Preacher you better get in here before you drown!" Despite the second warning the Preacher just stood there and replied "Don't worry God will save me." The man then said "Whatever!" and rowed away in the orange raft.

The water was now waist-deep and a guy in a power boat came to the Preacher and said "Preacher, Preacher you better get in here before you drown!" Despite the third warning the Preacher just stood there and replied "Don't worry God will save me." With that the man said "Whatever!" and jetted away in the power boat.

The water was now neck-deep and a guy in a helicopter came and said "Preacher, Preacher you better get your butt in here before you drown!" The man still just stood there and replied "Don't worry God will save me." And with that the man said "Whatever" and flew away.

The water then got so deep that the Preacher was sucked under and died. When he opened his eyes he noticed that he was in heaven. He then saw God and asked "God! Why didn't you save me from that horrible flood?" God then replied, " I sent you a car, a raft, a power boat, and a helicopter! What else do you want from me?"

I hate getting a new cell phone, for instance.

Hubby bought me a new wide screen flat monitor for my computer and I don't want to tell him that I HATE THE THING!

I am used to my old one, damnit.

My kids laught at me because my video camera is the size of a recipe box. They bought me a small one and I never could figure out how to use the damned thing.

They bought me a CD player for my car and I don't like that either, the CD's keep getting scratched and don't work. Cassettes didn't have that problem.

I just don't get it... somethings are getting larger and larger, like TV screens and some things are getting smaller and smaller, like cell phones. Why on earth would anyone want to test message constantly using only 8 tiny keys?

I have heard that they kill doctors and nurses that perform abortions.
Is this true?

This was probably the best Christmas I've ever had. I had all three of my kids, along with my grand children, mom, sisters, brother, cousins, and friends were at the Christmas party on Sunday. We had a blast.
Christmas morning there was an abudance under the tree, many, many gifts from my sis-in-law who has a terminal illness. She said she thought it would be her last Christmas so she went a little crazy. I kept opening gifts from her and I was so touched because I know they came from her heart. I was able to hold it together until I opened a gift from my son, which was a beautiful family portrait on one side and a picture of my gorgeous grand daughter on the other. I lost it and started crying like a baby. I'm getting way too emotional in my old age. Anyone else have a happy/sad Christmas? And yes, I know I'm very, very blessed.

On occasion I get social invitations from people who I do not like. I suspect they are inviting me out not because they have any love for me, but they just have no friends and are lonely. Their personality turns me off and I do not want to go out with them because I honestly do not like them.

If I tell them I am busy or make up another excuse, I would be lying. I am not busy I just do not like them. Would it be rude to be honest?

Do you, as a Christian, believe that because I deny Jesus absolutely and completely, I am either:

1. the Antichrist.

or

2. have the "Antichrist Spirit"?

I have been told I am both, by various Christians.

Please explain why you believe whichever one you choose. Thanks.

(and no -- no one will be reported by me, I really just want to know your answers, just for my own knowledge.)

You complain about new cures and medicines being tested on animals. But I can almost guarentee your answer to the following question will be no. Would you rather the medicines and cures were tested on humans and more to the point, you?

Julia is not bothered about being accused of being a Jew, she just wonders where the stereotype of the Jews being money grabbing, tight or hard up comes from

I will provide an example. A well qualified atheist woman, candidate A applies for a government job at the same time as a not so well qualified Christian woman or believer in God,Candidate B. As soon as it becomes known that candidate A is an atheist, Candidate B gets the job because they feel Candidate B is more qualified to represent "One Nation Under God" even though she is not.
Because Candidate A's status has know been revaled other areas of her career are scarred. She gets asked to step down from the position she currently holds. Her relationship suffers and she goes from positive public figure to disgrace to Americans everywhere almost overnight.

I ask this because, it’s growing steadily more obvious, even to the uneducated, that the absurdities stated as fact in the bible simply cannot be true. So if the bible is stripped of its “miracles” and its “creator god” all that will be left is a delusion and only insane people will think that it is anything but a delusion. But it will still have the ability to allow people to be part of social group with the same ideals, but everyone will know in their hearts that it’s not real.

On occasion friends and I see celebrities or media people walking down the street. In some cases I feel like I know these people as well as my own friends and family but of course they do not know me. I saw a local weather-caster
(TV Meteorologist) once I have been watching for 20 years. He has been a regular visitor to my home so many years, but again he does not know me.

Would it be rude for me to approach him and talk?

My dog can roll around in the snow like a happy little idiot. I guess I could too, but I would only be an idiot -- not happy.

Why did God design us to naturally only occupy a very small portion of the Earth?
