let me tel lyou what Jesus (if He was like any one of us) would do.
1. He would go over to the colleague He quarreled with and tell him nicely that it is just a misunderstanding and even apologise saying"if i offended you, i am sorry." He would smile and invite him to sit together.
MATT5:44: But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you.
2. He would go all the way. help her carry the bags to her house even.
MATT20:28: Just so, the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve
3.Jesus would forgive her mom and find a time to talk to her.
Mat 6:12 (NRSV) And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
4.He would leave the room.
Genesis 39:8-9, "But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand..how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?"

5. I'd gang up on him with my friend.

For the hundredth time, as Abraham Lincoln said, "When I do good I feel good and when I do bad I feel bad and that is my religion."
More specifically,
1. I'd feel bad about the quarrel. I might try to get advice from the other colleague.
2. I'd offer to help, even if I was tired.
3. I'm 53 years old. Mom doesn't scold me very often.
4. I had sex before I was married. If I had it to do all over again, I'd still have sex before marriage. I didn't get married until I was 28.
5. If I had made an enemy at school, I wouldn't sit with him even if he was alone.

1. Eat my lunch and have a conversation with my colleague; I don't like talking about other people behind their backs. It is rude and gets you nowhere.
2. If I could get to her in time, I would help her with her groceries. Otherwise, I would offer her my seat.
3. I would tell her I didn't do it, and she would believe me. That's just the type of relationship we have - an honest one.
4. I don't have sex with anyone I am not in love with. Liking someone is not enough.
5. I've had this happen before. I usually feel sorry for that person, so I have one of my friends invite him over to eat with us. I try to be cordial, and I try to find some common ground between us because I don't like to hate.
It's not about morality with me; it's about life being too short to waste on things like hate, fighting, and selfish behavior. I'd like to make an impact while I'm here, and the best way I know how to do that is to help others, accept people for who they are, and live my life as if each day will be my last. Obviously, I can't go full steam ahead everyday, but I try nonetheless.

1. you just quarreled with a colleague. you go for lunch and sat down with another colleague. what would you do?
Eat my lunch. I am not sure of the quandry here.
2. you see a middle age woman with lots of bags of groceries coming up the train, balancing herself. you are VERY VERY TIRED. what do you do?
Sleep. Again, not sure of the quandry.
3. you just came home. your mom was really unreasonable. scolded you for something you did not do. what would you do?
If I am tiered or hungry, I would take care of these needs first as I mentioned earlier, if not, just explain to her (my mom is crazy) that I didn't do it and she should check her medication dosage.
4. you are alone in a room with a boy/girl you like. people have warned you not to have sex before marriage before because of high risk of STDs, HIV, unwanted pregnancies. what do you do? you are 18 years old already.
Have protected sex. Sex is nice. Catholic, or not.
5. you made an enemy in school. you really don't like him. you see him eating alone in the cookhouse. you are sitting with your friends. what do you do?
Eat.

1. you just quarreled with a colleague. you go for lunch and sat down with another colleague. what would you do?
If I sat down for lunch with another colleague, I guess I'd eat. I really don't see any sense in this question.
2. you see a middle age woman with lots of bags of groceries coming up the train, balancing herself. you are VERY VERY TIRED. what do you do?
I'd offer help in whatever way I could. Look, not beleiving in God doesn't give one free license to act like an *** hole. And morals aren't given by God. There's right, there's wrong. Look at it this way: What if we Atheists are right and there is no God? Beleivers still claim to have morals, right? So just maybe you don't need God to have morals. Maybe.
3. you just came home. your mom was really unreasonable. scolded you for something you did not do. what would you do?
Tell her to go home and mind her own business. I don't live with my mother, and I'm all grown up now.
4. you are alone in a room with a boy/girl you like. people have warned you not to have sex before marriage before because of high risk of STDs, HIV, unwanted pregnancies. what do you do? you are 18 years old already.
Unwed sex doesn't cause STDs. STDs cause STDs. Sex between two consenting adults has no victim--and by "adult," I mean two people who are mature enough to own up to any consequences that may happen. By the way, unwanted pregnancies have been known to happen in marriages, as well. Just because you're married doesn't make you ready for kids.
5. you made an enemy in school. you really don't like him. you see him eating alone in the cookhouse. you are sitting with your friends. what do you do?
Keep eating with my friends. Why go out of your way for the sake of conflict? Life's tough enough all on its own without helping it out.

1. I'd eat lunch and try to focus on something else. Colleague #2 isn't involved in the argument, so I don't need to discuss it with him.
2. I'd just let it go. I'd feel bad, but I'm pretty tired.
3. Ask her what happened, and explain where I was and/or what I was doing. If she completely won't listen to logic, then oh well. Just accept the punishment and move on.
4. I'd make small talk, and hopefully score a date for the future. If we do reach sex, I'd wear a condom.
5. Just let him go. He's along, and only confronting him when I've got numbers behind me is cowardly.

Athiest = one who denies the existence of God.
just for clarification purposes - I do not deny the existence of an all knowing Being or Power - I choose not to box It in with a mind that cannot possibly comprehend the entirity of It's Greatness.
1. character assassination is poison to the soul. keep it to self OR do not disclose any identifying information and discuss in a general way the situation if I needed feed back, be honest about my part.
2. Help her. What kind of a person wouldn't - although chivalry is all but dead in this day and age - and manners have gone mostly out the window as well.
3. let her have some quiet time and bring the situation back to her when both have calmed down. i would not argue because it would only aggravate the situation.
4. are both persons consenting? Is this a person I really trust? What do I know about this persons background? Have they lived in a manner conducive to contracting a disease? Does their soul speak to mine, am I emotionally ready for this step, is the other person?
There are too many tangibles to answer this one directly.....
5. sometimes people just don't rhyme, or they're not the same "flavor" or they don't jive - whatever you want to call it. If he is alone that is his business and I am not a saint and do not need to call him over to our table. I don't need to talk about him either to my friends. My friends can like who they like - that is their business. If one of my friends called him over to the table, I would be polite to the best of my ability.

1, I would feel bad for quarreling I may talk it over with the colleague About how bad I feel and what should I do. Of course if he was a good friend. If not, it would probably be like gosip. But I would go to the colleague I quaralled with to talk it over.
2 Ask if she needs help.
3Ask if it could wait. And we can talk over a cup of coffee
4Non of your business, If I did, I would use a condom. I of course it would depend on how well I knew this guy and if we were dating.
5 Probably ignore him. If I made him the enemy I would try to find out why.

1. I would more than likely discuss what had just happened. Bottling up emotions causes more problems, and a second opinion is always welcomed
2. This is a similar situation to me like a pregnant woman with a stroller and a toddler in tow struggling with a door. In that scenario, I helped her, as I would in yours.
3. I would have it out with her. Respect earns respect. Lack of respect earns lack of respect. We'd make amends later of course.
4. This is supposing that being in the mere presence of someone of the opposite sex makes ones hormones impossible to control, which is not the case. However, if I wanted to have sex with this person, I would. Taking the required precautions of course.
5. I never made enemies in school. I was friendly with everyone. There were people who for whatever reason chose to hate me however. I ignored them as best I could.

1. Eat my lunch.
2. (has happened before) if I have a free hand I will offer to help her.
3. I would tell her that I did not do what she was accusing me of and I would ask her to talk to me instead of yell at me.
4. Married people have STIs too, it's not like marriage is a magic cure and vaccine. If they were not my long time partner then I would not sleep with them.
5. If the person has done something to me to make me dislike him, then I would let him be alone and see how it feels when no one likes you. Then maybe he will be nice. If he came to me and apologised I would accept.
See? I'm not some baby-eating, perverted evil being. I'm just a person.
