Do you feel pain, happy when your child is doing well in school, love your parents, sad when someone you love dies, angry when someone insults you, enjoy the beauty of life, pleasure when you find new friends, cold when you are exposed to freezing temperatures, unhappy when you have problems in your family, cry when you are in pain?


Pls. state your religion ( or non religion ) first, then answer the question.

my auntie has had quite wierd experiences. the 1st was when she went 2 lie down and she could see black figures at her feet and something was pulling at her legs. she was speaking in tongues and couldnt stop it. that has happened about 2 times. but a few days ago her 10/11 yr old son started crying whilst we were at hers and said that he had been hearing voices and seeing wierd images in his head. he said it has happened 2 him twice.
i'd prefer it if i could get some sensible answers. because i have recently come on here and some of the morons on this site seem 2 feel the need 2 make pathetic jokes.

can you please get bck 2 me on here.
thank you

Okay here's the story. I am a father and I have been with my fiance for five years now. We have a kid and I enjoy having sex with her but I am not really attracted to women. The truth is there are very few women I am attracted to and she's pretty much the only one. The issue I am and have been attracted to men a lot, not enough to cheat but I'd check out a man before checking out a women.

So am I really gay? I am seriously into and attracted to my fiance and enjoy or family.

What do I do? HELP ME!!!

I mean like, people some people dont say their grace whne they eat. Some dont pray before they go to bed. But why is it when we are in serious trouble like if the aliens came, we pray to GOd for help? God asked us all to obey Him and follow His rules and He will give you anything you want(like a genie, but with unlimited wishes) but we still dont do it. The crazy thing about it is that even non believe like atheist and agnostist even pray to God for help when we are in danger.

Can anyone tell me what kinds of jobs are available out there for someone interested in humanitarian services and jobs that involve preservation of the environment? What type of schooling would you recommend to someone considering this type of career?

"Members of rival Christian orders have traded blows at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, with four people reported wounded in the fray.

Greek Orthodox and Armenian Apostolic priests were sweeping up at the church following the Christmas rites of the Western churches earlier in the week.

Reports say some Orthodox faithful encroached on the Armenian section, prompting pitched battles with brooms."

I work as a receptionist and the front door to my office has a button for disabled people to push to make the door open automatically.

I can totally understand when people who have children in tow or delivery people use this button, but it really grinds my nerves when people who obviously have nothing wrong with them use this button to get in and out of the building. It's almost as annoying as when I see perfectly able-bodied people parking in handicapped parking spots! (The nice lady who picks up our mail everyday uses this button to get in everyday and I want to scream at her everytime! She's the inspiration for this question).

Does this bother anyone else?

Like the doubter, Thomas...I am a very wary believer.
After all, I was an atheist who read the Bible to prove it wrong in 1995 before becoming a child of God.
And this I confess as a negative thing, not a boast in particularly good quality that I have.
Reasonable skepticism is one thing, but doubting and denial is another.

BUT, this all being said...
I happened upon this the other day:

Regarding a “Creation Museum”.

It appears that some groups, like “DefCon” (so-called “Defenders of the Constitution”), have campaigns that are opposing the very existence of a “Creation Museum”:
http://ga3.org/campaign/creationmuseum

Personally, it is all a bit to surreal to me that groups like “DefCon” even exist...and oppose a *freaking* museum. (please excuse the French).

And along with movie Expelled, it smells too much like “Conspiracy Theory” kind of stuff, to me...

Oh...and here is an awesome movie trailer for the movie, Expelled, by the way:
http://www.expelledthemovie.com/playground.php

You don’t want to miss it.

But in any event, I am traveling this weekend, and as it turns out, I will be staying within 10 minutes of this “Creation Museum”:
http://www.creationmuseum.org/

So, my questions are:
Have you ever been to the Creation Museum?
If so, what did you think?
Is it worth going to?
And, of course, are you a Creationist or a non-Creationist?
And did it change your mind in any way, shape, or form...about anything?

One day, during a lesson on proper grammar, the teacher asked for a show of hands for who could use the word "beautiful" in the same sentence twice. First, she called on little Suzy, who responded with, "My father bought my mother a beautiful dress and she looked beautiful in it."

"Very good, Suzy," replied the teacher. She then called on little Michael.

"My mommy planned a beautiful banquet and it turned out beautifully," he said.

"Excellent, Michael!" Then, the teacher called on little Johnny.

"Last night, at the dinner table, my sister told my father that she was pregnant, and he said, 'Beautiful, ******* beautiful!'"

It seems only gay men have the tendency to be less masculine.

For the last ten years, I heard how fat we are. Like so many Americans, I believed the lie. Over the years, I began to noticed how fat the British, French, and Germans are. It was not just a few but generally every fourth person. In the States, there are millions of health fitness clubs at full capacity. Americans are obsessed with becoming thin. Every year, millions (not thousands) of Americans lose major weight. In some cities like San Diego and Miami folk are bone thin. Nevertheless, obesed Europeans eating greasy sausages feel quite justified pointing their fat fingers our way. I remember seeing an Oprah show where French women were boasting about their ability to stay slim. Now, France is having a pandemic of obesity. When you visit your little fat grannies, try to remember that American grandmothers are at the gym toning up their bodies. It is not good to be too obsessed with the exterior, but we do not poke fun at Brits who are overwhelmingly becoming obese.
