If you heard two people talking about you in your presence, what would you do? Well, they were not really aware that I could understand them, however I could. I live in a foreign country and look obviously foreign in this so-called mono-nation. So, I was almost in the same room with those people when they began talking about me. Even though they probably didn't say anything bad, it just pissed me off. I told them I could understand they were talking about but I'm still angry! What should I do? What would you have done if it happened to you?

So I've been on sick leave for minor surgery since Dec 12. I've had some complications and my leave was extended to Jan 3. My boss is on vacation so I called my coworker to let her know. She went off on me saying she has things to do and I need to come back to work. I explained the doc had put me on total bedrest and she started asking a million questions and saying she wasn't going to cover for me anymore. This same woman has not worked a 40 hour week since I got there 2 years ago. She skips out early every Friday and takes 2-3 hour lunches when the boss is gone. Example: Halloween she left at lunch because she had to go buy candy. She's been out to take her 28 year old son to the eye doctor. For 2 years she has left me to die at work and now she's mad because I'm out sick. Why would she be this way? She has to cover for me but it just upset me that she acted that way. I dread going back and having to work with her in our small office. What can I do?

....... "oh but now we have the NT which superceded the OT" argument. In this way the parts about condoning slavery and stoning unruly children to death can be sidestepped and glossed over.

However it is still ok to use the OT to justify hating gay people or simply saying being gay is wrong.

So are some bits still relevent and other bits not ? How do we know which are the bits to keep and which bits to discard ?

Two of my best friends are gay. One is a surgeon who saves lives every day. How anybody could believe that such a person would be "cast into a lake of fire" is beyond me.

The bible was written by humans - Good humans, but humans all the same.
There are hundreds of years between those who wrote the books in Bible - many of which did not know Jesus.
Then there is the problem of translation - translators do not translate direct form original text, but earlier translations - sound like broken telephone.
How can the Bible possily be "The Word of God."
Im not criticizing, just discussing.

There's been a lot of talk about how the hijackers who destroyed the World Trade Center expected to receive 72 virgins (or 70 or 50, depending on whom you listen to) in paradise. Is this really true? (That they expected this, I mean, not that they'll receive it.) It seems a rather unsophisticated and juvenile theology: "In heaven you can eat all the ice cream you want and stay up past ten o'clock and it's always recess." Is there any Koranic basis for believing that those who kill and die for the faith will get the aforementioned virgins?

Hadith number 2,562, known as the Sunan al-Tirmidhi ,

"'The smallest reward [each] for the people of Heaven is an abode where there are 80,000 servants and 72 wives, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine and ruby, as wide as the distance from [Damascus] to [Yemen].'"

I know I'm going to get flamed for this, but I just cant help parking in the M&C supermarket parking spaces. Does anyone else see them as blatant pandering to a pressure group ('mothers with kids') that is putting everyone else out?

Supermarkets are required by law to provide disabled parking, yet even that is being sited further and further away from the main entrance, so that mummy and her big 4*4 can park badly in a lorry sized area.

I wouldn't care a hoot if the M&C spaces were at the back of the car park, because I can see that there is a need for them to prevent kids opening doors on neighboring cars. They're not at the back though, are they? They're right at the front like royalty.

Its happening more and more in the UK - jobsworths looking for excuses to give some poor disadvantaged group preferential treatment. Yeah right. I've never ever parked in a disabled spot, and agree with the need for them 100%. What fool decided to give M&C the same privileges though?

When I was thirteen years old I started to have the idea about a place where people would live together in a different way than in this society. They would do things they like to do and not just for themselves but for the well of others. They would express themselves freely and also in an artistic way. Finding out about themselves as the most important ‘work’ because knowing that we are all in a growing process, to free ourselves to connect with spaces beyond ourselves. I designed places like this and years later I studied architecture still with the same vision. Then life took over for twelve years with family life, making money, etc. until this finished and I found a beautiful place in midst of unspoiled nature. I bought this land and started to realize my dream. The first years I build up the place. Some times alone, some times with paid workers. When the buildings were finished I offered the place to therapy groups. This went on for a few years.

I've searched and searched and haven't seen why we have Sunday services and not Saturday services. People have told me that Jesus changed it but never gave me a verse or reasoning. My research has found that the Catholic church changed it. If so then why do non-catholics observe the Sunday worship instead?

I wish Christians would stop believing that their religion is the only one. There are many other religions that have just as much evidance to back their religion.
I would love to know what drives Christians to believe that any non-christian is a sinner?
Surely a lack of tolerance and narrow-mindedness is more of a sin, because thats what causes wars.

How can anyone claim that Islam is a religion of peace when anyone who tries to bring the Islamic world into modernity is assassinated? We've seen it in Lebanon all too frequently and now Benazir Bhutto is assassinated in Pakistan,

Should the Pope put more pressure on World Leaders to stop all of their mischief.... Should he excommunicate Catholic leaders who overtly fly in the face of Christ's message and doctrine? Should he call on Catholics to boycott those who do not respect Christian values? Should the Vatican also clean up its own house as well? I don't mean turning back to the Grand Inquisition but standing up for Chrsitian values, no one else seems to!!!!
