The county gives major support to the ageny, and they require you to hire an accountant who can keep the financial records and report to them on how the agency spends its money. You review candidates, and Ms. A seems the best qualified. But the county auditor insists that Mr. B should be hired. You review his application, and conclude that Ms. A is far more qualified. The auditor insists, and swears he will cut your agency's funding in half if you do not hire Mr. B. The grapevine tells you Mr. B is the county treasurer's nephew.

Who would you hire and why?

Father Christmas shall be renamed Father Argos.
Christmas shall be recalled Winterval
All chuches must remain closed during Winterval

I feel only if we take these steps, shall we feel more interracial and cultural harmony, and the inter faith bickering shall be a thing of the past.

Come on who is with me? we have to make the immigrants welcome, I have read so many questions on here saying we Brits are racist pigs, come on, lets change.

Her American doctors say there's nothing more they can do for her, but she's heard of a Mexican herbal remedy that has given good results. It's illegal in the US, and her doctor says there's not much hope it will help. She asks you to get some for her and mail it to her, since you live in San Diego and she lives in the midwest. She sends you a check for the drug and for your expenses.

Would you break US laws, risking your own freedom, to get the drug for her? Would it depend on whether you believed it could really help her?

Please include your reasons for your decision.

It goes beyond taking the 10 Commandments off of the Courthouse steps.
It goes beyond equal rights for atheists, agnostics, and Eastern faiths.
(There are different versions of the 10 Commandments by the way)
Courts could legally show preference to one Church over another.
WHAT IF YOU BELONG TO THE CHURCH THE COURT DOESN"T PREFER?!?
If there is a Department of Faith, or something akin to that, telling you how you must worship, you don't have Freedom of Religion anymore.
Some Supreme Court seats are up for grabs in this election.
This needs to be an issue!
The framework for turning the Land of the Free into a Theocracy could unfold before our eyes if we're not careful.

As a child I was always made to attend hymn practise and as much as I hated going, there was this one hymn that really stood out. I wish I could remember a line from the hymn but I can't. All I know is, the word "creed" is in it. It's a very slow and moving hymn. I also seem to think it was called Greensleeves or something like that, I could however be wrong.

He was my first love and I knew him since we were 7 years old and basically grew up with him.... our families were really close. We were eachother's first puppy love and eventually dated when I turned 16. The last time I seen him was when I was 19. I moved on with my life, but still contacted him every now and then to see how he was doing. I was devastated to find out that he passed away, and I wasn't invited to the funeral, they said it would be too hard on them for me to be there(my family and his family had a falling out).

He has came to me in my dreams a lot over the past 7 years, but lately he's leading me to his grave. I'm starting to take this as he wants me to have closure, or he is hurt by the fact I haven't been to his gravesite? I don't know, but I just want to have peace & finally see that he is no longer here.

I've spent 30+ hours on the internet trying to find out what cemetary he's buried at. I can't ask his family, so how can I find him? PLEASE HELP ME

It doesn't matter if the things he does is good or bad, since they're merely concepts. What matters are the actions he takes. Even if he were good, would you still follow orders without hesitation? And if he were bad, how could you kill him?

By the way, this "god" would have invulnerability to the weapons of man, immortality and superhuman strength.

if someone {Christian or atheist} said god told him to add something to the bible, would you believe him, or would you question him.
im not asking if you believe what he put in the bible would you believe who said it

This is my opinion. Yes.

God spoke through the prophets and new testament writers. The original manuscripts were the inspired word of God.

But the translators erred in some of their translating. That's where the human factor came into it.

So new information supplied to us that corrects some of these translational errors such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, only corrects the TRANSLATIONS not the original WORD OF GOD. That was never corrected or changed.

Jesus related himself equal to God. Even spoke of it. God told Abraham to tell Pharoah, "I am" sent you.
Jesus told the Pharisees, Before Abraham was "I am"
Apostle Paul spoke Of Jesus not thinking it not robbery to be equal with God (my wording) but made himself of no reputation to be equal to God.
your comments?

Why do muslims claim all the nasty stuff ie stonings are just culture when it occurs in other islamic countrys

Heard the bs accuse many times..

All the stonings, sexsim, homophobia, honour killings, forced arranged marriage, males dominating femles etc etc.

Oh nothing to do with us thats just culture.

Likeiwse the 'individuals' nothing to do with islam one.

Give over.

Exaplin then shariah law and how these nasty things occur in loads of islamic countires wherever the muslims take control and introduce their evil britual & abusive sharia law to control everybodies lives over the sexaulity, how they live, look, behave everything where kids are brainwashed with the idea that you

Must submit to allah, must never question shariah, it does not matter if you think its wrong its gods will etc.

Hence said culture is infact islam itself as you get the same thing in countiry after country under islamic control.

But none where the buddist, chrisitians, athiests, hipp

Note: Dead people don't go anywhere when they die, they must be resurrected back to life first. Hell is the graves though and it will be burned by fire from heaven in the future.

Technically you go to a place in heaven called "the New Jerusalem" which descends to Earth 1000 years later. It's a PHYSICAL PLACE in the universe unlike what most chritian probbably think because they don't read their bibles.

Basically, it'll be like star strek because you will learn more about the universe.

Also note that you don't earn Eternal life, Jesus paid it for you and all you have to do is believe (he wont force you to live forever, that's where hell annihilation comes is, that is ceasing to exist).

In heaven you can
1. Build your own home and plant your own garden (Isaiah 65:21, 22)
2. Have a city mansion built by Christ (John 14:1-3.)
3. Sing and play heavenly music (Isaiah 35:10; 51:11; Psalm 87:7; Revelation 14:2, 3).
4. Worship before God's throne every Sabbath (Isaiah 66:22, 23).
5. Enjoy never-fading flowers and trees (Ezekiel 47:12; Isaiah 35:1, 2).
6. Meeting loved ones, patriarchs, prophets, angels etc. (Matthew 8:11; Revelation 7:9-17).
7. Study the animals of heaven (Isaiah 11:6-9; 65:25).
8. Fly and explore wonders of the universe without getting tired (Isaiah 40:31).
9. Listen to God sing (Zephaniah 3:17).
10. Realize fondest ambitions (Psalm 37:3, 4; Isaiah 65:24).
11. Being with Jesus (Revelation 14:4; 22:4; 21:3; 1 John 3:2).
