{ 1 } Why the " can conferences " what is talked about and why in public restrooms ?
{ 2 } Why is it you say you love a guy but always want to change him doesn't love mean you want him for what he is ?
{ 3 }Why do the good women always seem to pick the ones who treat them like s*** and hold on for dear life end up supporting the bastards and lying for them defending them even to the point where your own family will have nothing to do with you ? Eventually even getting to the point that when you do move on you seem top need being s*** on so much you go out of your way to aggravate the next ones so much they drop you as damaged goods ? And complain about it !

Please I know for a fact that I and many other men would love the feminine view on these questions as well as many others ! this is not meant to offend just educate us thanks to all that answer !!

I can reference two writers, Simone Weil, and especially Louise Michel, who point up the spiritual aspects of Anarchism.

To note, in theory, Anarchism is inimical to the idea of deity, but these two writers found spirituality in man, the freedom of his soul expressed, as it were. The sprituality of which they wrote was not tied to the idea of an overlord deity, but rather the community of man. Weil converted to Christianity before her death from anorexia, but Michel was a committed anarchist to the end, and held to her ideals of a spiritual anarchism.

What do you think? Does Anarchism have spiritual properties? Does man necessarily need a spiritual master in order to be spiritual?

There has been much to do about Christmas and other Holidays and, it seems to me, that Christians seem to get bent out of shape when it is stated that their Holidays are not Originally Christian. Can anyone tell me why it upsets Chrsitians so much?

My parents say it's not Christian to have female pastors, and I don't think it makes a difference. They are Christian, and believe in Jesus as their savior, so why does it matter? I'm getting confirmed this year as a Lutheran. I've never read in the Bible that you can't have female pastors. What do you think?

If you do research, America is starting to lead the way in "single mom's." This is not due to thier husbands dying in a car accident. It is due to women and men irrisponsibly opening thier legs (forgive spelling). We have Eastern and Western Europe beat in this catogory. Does this concern anyone but me? It almost seems normal in the to most people in the United States? Has anyone else noticed this?

P.S. Christians and non-christians: feel free to answer.

I see a lot of questions and answers on here that are poking at each other's beliefs, especially Christianity and Atheism. People say "Oh, Atheists are better than Christians because they're more educated" or "Christians are better because we worship God and therefor will be granted into heaven while Atheist burn." WHY CANT PEOPLE JUST ACCEPT THERES DIFFERNENT IDEOLOGIES AND MOVE ON! I'm an Atheist..and yes I'll have FRIENDLY Debates will people of other religions...and i find it rather enlightening. Why can't people see everyone as equals! Just because someone is Christian doesnt mean they arent educated or intellegent, and just because someones and Atheist doesnt mean they have no morals and are evil people. I've seen completely idiotic Atheists and very intellegent Christians and people of other faiths! So I wanna know your opinion on all this, why dont you think people can accept so many other believes in the world and respect them!

Christ spoke in parables so as to avoid speaking the plain Truth to those who as yet had no Truth in them-so that the Truth might be revealed in "secret" to those not yet taught by their own understanding.

What say you all?

I know that God is supposed to be perfect but with hindsight might it have been better if he'd done a few things differently?

For instance why did he go to the bother of creating all those ancient dinosaur fossils and sedimentary records which seem to refute the story of creation? Was this a mistake?

Why is there so much in the bible that is inappropriate for this day and age? I'm thinking of things like stoning, mass murder and condonement of slavery. Even if these are parables would'nt it have been better if he'd chosen ones which would have remained relevant and more palatable into the future?

What do you think God could have done differently if he were starting again today?

I feel no guilt for my past uses of it because at the time I did not view it as stealing.

However, for the past year or two, I would have viewed it as stealing. I have recieved pirated software from a friend. While this is a piece of software I could certainly use, I do feel guilty.

Should I commit to eventually purchase it or should I simply not use it. Give me some tangible wisdom...

Is it still considered a mortal sin? If not, how do Christians reconcile this with the teachings of the Bible?

It is my understanding that suicide is caused by severe mental anguish and not a conscious refuting of Jesus Christ and God.

My thought is that suicide has been made a mortal sin to prevent the religious from killing themselves in order to reach Paradise early because of their belief on how great it would be.

do you think if the Christian's knew God's plan back before Jesus was sent to die for us, do you think they would be calling on God to send his son to die for them, so they could get into heaven?

as I grow up, I realize that this world is a pretty cruel place, full of cruel and hateful people, violence is everywhere and all life ends up being is hurting others to get more for yourself. We all do this to each other whether or not we realize it.

So, if you had the chance to make that decision (that your mom decided) would you be born into this world? or just skip this whole mess altogether?

Brother Charles Eisenhower completed his earthly course today...

His is indeed a fine example of Christian endurance.

Don't you agree?
