The thing is I work with him and he gives me attention back and I can tell that he likes me too but I really don't want this to escalade any further.
I feel very guilty, but with each passing day I find myself more and more attracted to him.

aside from finding a new job, what else can I do ??

Just minutes ago, in response to this question:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071129194436AAya5bE&cp=3

a Christian on this board stated that: "They can't live as a christian because they don't know Christ. They will lack the true peace and joy and love for others that a Christ-like person does. "

... really? So only Christians are capable of "true" peace, joy, and love? What do you think of that statement? Where does that leave the rest of us?

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to respond.

Can't we just come back to the table and celebrate each others?
At the very least we can let everyone celebrate what ever they wish to celebrate. It should not offend anyone.
It has gotten SO out of control. People can not even ask for prayers, well wishes or what have you anymore here in North America.

I think that we have to be very careful about trying to obtain "Exclusive Freedom" it can be a tricky thing , usually you are going to have to trample someone Else's freedom in the process of trying to obtain your own.

Naturally, and specifically, I am of speaking of the freedoms granted or taken for granted in non repressed households, cultures and/or Countries.
What are your views?

I would appreciate civil answers.
I do not mean to offend, if I do I apologize ahead of time.
You may let me know in a civilized manner and I will be enlightened.
Thank you for your answers ahead of time.

Please refrain from letting the thumbs down monster getting the better of us.

so i watched Fallen, i was wondering . if male angels can father children. can female angel give birth. do the males have semen or is it divine conception or something.??? because if this is the case why didn't the male and female angels just mate with each other and not seek out human women since they thought we were not worthy, anyway.

...you deny the existence of God, would you claim to believe in God so that you can testify in court (supposing you were asked) or would you voice your disbelief and try to fight it? I'm asking because of such laws that exists in certain states.

This guy went parachuting. He jumped out of the plane, counted ten, and pulled his ripcord. Nothing happened so he pulled his reserve ripcord. Again nothing happened. He was thinking, now what do I do, pray? When he looked down he saw a guy coming up. He yelled, "Hey do you know anything about parachutes". The guy coming up yelled, "No do you know anything about furnaces".

If Joseph Smith was a true prophet, why did he fail to realize that “Elias” is the N.T. form of the name “Elijah”? (D & C 110:12,13 and 1 Kings 17:1 and James 5:17) How could Elijah (Elias) have appeared to Joseph Smith in the Kirkland Temple as two different people?

After all.. the covering of women goes back to the day of moses. Nuns cover themselves to remain pius and plain. Is it so hard for christians to believe that some women respect God enough to respect themselves? Why does everyone think we are so repressed?

I'm Catholic. I've been Catholic all my life, and I'm pretty sure that I plan to be Catholic til the rest of my life.
I have a friend who's a Jehovah's Witness.
And I was talking to her about how my week just totally/completely sucked. I was also talking to her about how my faith in God is swaying a little bit.
Then she says something on the lines of...

"Well, I was just thinking... and my other friend who goes to my Hall suggested the same thing. I mean, it seems like you're unhappy with it (Catholicism) so can I tell you about my religion? I won't be preach-y but just tell you about it. I'm not telling you to convert, but just to listen. We can answer all the questions you had about the Bible and how some people are translating the Bible wrong..."
Something to that effect.
I have been told that Jehova's Witness have a tendency to be cult-ish? correct me if i'm wrong.

So. What should I do?
Because I'm not interested into converting at all.

Is there a difference between "believe in what I believe or else you'll roast on Satan's BBQ forever" and someone pointing a gun to your head saying "conform to what I believe or else!!"

What's with all the bloody violence? I don't see much love, or respect for other cultures there, I see "conform or die".

Your thoughts?

What if they are using your credulity to take advantage of you?
Religion was established to manipulate the minds of the populace and make them meek and easily controllable.
Think about it if you like yourself.

If baptism for the dead was a Christian ceremony, why did Paul use the pronoun “they” rather than “we” or “ye”? Why did he exclude himself and other Christians when referring to it? (I Cor. 15:29)
