Mine was stolen last night and they're already making fradulent charges on my accounts. Crappy time of year to have this happen. In addition they took now have my social security number. I'm cancelling everything I can think of and am now enrolled in an "ID Protection" program at my bank. I filed a police report.

I'm asking my friends on here that may have had something similar happen to them. What steps would you advise a person take in this situation? I don't want to miss something obvious and get even more burned.

Thanks.

I do! I mean I think as long as we are mature and have a desire to learn we should be able to attend unless its an inappropriate topic for women or something. I mean I understand there might be a few topics the men don't want us to hear because of modesty but I think most we can, you know? I am not trying to be a feminist either. I mean I understand men can get frustrated with women when they give their opinion at Bible studies b/c it can come off as feminist but atleast let us sit there and listen, you know? I want to know what others think. Maybe I am missing something as to why we shouldn't.

...earning commissions from both the givers and takers and thus sullying the social fabrics. How do they account for this exploitation, particularly of the toiling poor before God?

My family are all atheists.

At the end of 2004 my grandmother, my brother and I were in a very serious car crash and really none of us should be alive and I shouldn't be walking. We were lucky that my Grandparents had just bought a brand new car which saved us.

I had a bad spinal injury while my brother and grandma only had a few scratches.

My family are 100% atheist. But when I was in the hospital and my grandma came and visited me, she kept saying that God was looking out for us and that we must be thankful to him.

She's never spoken like this before or after the crash. Why did she turn to God when she was upset? What does this say about her beliefs?

Please don't try and convert me. I'm not interested. I have my own beliefs and they aren't Christianity.

Thank you.

I was listening to a Christian radio program earlier today, and the host spent about 30 minutes discussing why Mormons are not Christians. To sum it up, he basically said Mormons are not Christians because they believe things that aren't explicitly taught in the Bible.

So, is that the yardstick that most Christians go by? If it's not in the Bible, then it must not be true?

Why or why not?

Why do they reject eternal life in perfection, received through a free gift, without rational examination and prayer? Is life so worthless to them that the prospect of living forever seem bleak?

I know usually when the owner of a company is Christian, they're closed on Christmas. No offense to any other religions & holidays or anything, I was just curious as to why Starbucks is open 8am-5pm Christmas Day.

It seems to me that the Christians should be glad that the atheists are here. How often do you actually get to "witness" to a whole group of atheists?

Here, you got a bunch of atheists reading everything you write about your religion. Even if they do criticize what you believe in, they are still reading what you have to say. How often do any of you Christians actually have an opportunity to preach to a room full of atheists?

This seems like it should be considered a pretty unique and amazing opportunity from a Christian standpoint.

I am growing increasingly concerned for people asking and answering questions in R&S.
A lot of them appear to be off their meds or, as yet, undiagnosed.

One question aout God can bring up so many different responses. However I has noticed that a lot of people react with fear and withdrawal when they speak about God almost as if they are afraid to speal about him in a bad way. That of course leads them to codemn people who don't beleive to a life of eternal damnation. Why are people so afraid?

It was said that God says that he requires tithes, apparrently he says this in the bible. Can anyone tell me why God (not the church) needs a tenth of a persons wage every time he/she gets paid.

About two hours ago a county sheriffs deputy cut me off in an intersection and just about wiped me out. He just kept right on trucking. As soon as I cleared the intersection a state trooper pulled me over and ran up asking if I was ok. As soon as I let him know that I, and my bike, were OK. He took off after the deputy, with lights and siren on. As he pulled out he said that the deputy had "just bought himself a citation". The deputy behaved EXACTLY the way I generally expect people too. The trooper pleasantly suprised me.

My best of best friends told me she could read minds. I don't know what to think. But this is one of those people that barley lie about anything. Like, you can trust her with your life. She's really supernatural too.

She has such freaky proof to prove it.
Would you believe her?

Seems to me, a christian symbol would want to stay away from 'fire' as it reminds one of hell.....or is it symbolic of something more abstract?
