but thats only cos my ex broke my trust. he promised to be the best guy in the world and he even fooled me and others into thinkin he was great etcetc
well then he cheated on me
so now im finding it hard to trust anyone especially the new guy, hes great he really is known him for years and stuff but im scared that just like the old ex put on a mask to show that he was a good guy, what if this guy is the same...cos it always happens to me. i never like the guys, they always like me first, then as soon as i like them back something always goes wrong and they cheat, or do something similar.
and now this guy whose always loved me [he says] for eyars, im scared he will be the same ....
I cant trust him?
we've all been there! i've just managed to get over that one myself!
at the end of the day, we've all had guys in the past that have taken us for a mug and cheated on us, broken our trust but we cannot take this out on our new partners.
if you dont have trust in a relationship, what have you actually got??
you've known him for a while so you should have a very good idea to what he's like.
i think you need to try and bury what has happened to you in the past. its all about finding mr right! and there's gonna be quite a few frogs about to break our heart before we find our prince!
like the saying goes "love like you've never been hurt!!"
Reply:Its human nature to be wary after being hurt, a defence mechanism of sorts. However you can't paint all men with the same brush because you got a faulty can of paint. Its not fair to punish him for the mistakes of someone else. If he's good to you then nothing else matters. We can't go through life shying away from hurt, that's no way to live.
If you go outside you might get hit by a car but does that mean you should stay at home covering under the blankets?
Reply:I understand y u are scared, i would be scared too. but if have known for years.... and if u and him have been kind of close for a while.... don't u think u should give him a chance.... I know every girl thinks almost every guy is the same. but trust me - they r not no where near it....
and I know u don't want to get hurt again. but i say just take a chance on this one.. maybe he will be the right one and prove u wrong.
Reply:If you ever want to be in a relationship and happy you have to conquer those demons and learn to be happy. You have to ignore the fact you had a realy nasty boyfriend and accept someone new does like you and is prepared to be with you. Dont be scared, just go with the flow and date and have fun. He will show you how interested he is in you, texts, gifts, etc. he will not be like other selfish men. And if he does know women you have to learn to trust him.
Reply:you cannot base everything on your ex. every person is different. doesnt mean that all the guys out there are cheats.
but i do understand, that you been hurt once, so you are not too sure now, about this new guy.
well, forget your ex. don't rush with this new guy. take your time. and get to know him first. but you can't compare him to your ex. that's a mistake that most of us do.
Reply:are you the same as every other girl? what about any other girl?
if not then why should he be the same as every other guy? or any other guy? for instance the last one?
if you are going to hold on to that while your with him you can trust that you will push him away, and maybe push him into anther girls arms (possibly subconciously just to see if he would, which is hardly fair on him as that puts hurdles there he shouldnt have jump over).
a suggestion, instead of focusing on wether a person is trustable - make it about what you can trust them with.
I trust my ex to sleep around, I trust my one mate to spend a fiver I leave at his place, but always return a fone and to be there should I need him. I trust those I dont know with things I feel ok to lose, to start with. butt first and formost I trust others cos I trust myself - I trust myself in dealing with it if it goes wrong, I trust myself in dealing with it goes well, and I trust that I will be happier with not being fearful all the time, always wondering where the next failing is going to be (that sort of thing is really undermining of a lot, very destructive).
that way may not suit you, but I would suggest finding a way that works for you that doesnt undermine all of your and his efforts.
Reply:Its hard for you , but eventually you will regain the ability to trust, and this guy who you've known for years, who's not the same as your ex, is there ready to love you. He deserves a chance doesn't he? Tell him how you feel and let him know that you really want to be able to trust him but that you are not yet properly healed from your last bad experience. Tell him you need some time to overcome your fears even though you realise that he is not in any way the same as your cheating ex boyfriend. If he really is the good guy who has been in love with you for years, then he won't mind if it takes just a little longer to gain your love and trust.
Reply:gotta trust untill he gives you a good reason not too,
Reply:It takes a leap of faith. Sort of like gambling. You don't really know for sure if you have a winning hand til you place your bet. Be careful about revisiting your past too often. It hurts when the one you love betrays you. Accept it and move on. If you keep making comparisons between the old and the new you may just get what you are looking for.....to get hurt again.

2 girls i like??
right i really like 2 girls iw ork with all 3 of us are part time and im ahving a hard decision of who to ask out we are all freinds and ive noticed smiling staring personal conversation and fidling with uniforms and ahir while speaking to me.

by time you will discover things in their personalities and lives and will make you decide easily.

Will sex robots/virtual sex matrix (whateva) one day solve all our sexual problems or sex stigmas?
In my mind, if you have this at your availability, girls could have sex with brad pitt, and I could have sex with pamela anderson, male teenagers could get rid of their pure sexual urge during the eyars of 15-21...and despreate housewives could get rid of these as well during their 35-50 period....and then we could really focus not on sex, but dealing with the relationship, the personality and whether he/she is a compatible partner...and then focus on sex as a second, albeit important priority.
I beleive sex can sour beautiful friendships, and is not conductive to long lasting healthy and fruitful things.
I say this after reading that In 2020, it is projected that computer swill have the complexity of the human mind in terms of operations per second.

Do all shops open new years eve and new years day in london?
do all shops open new eyars eve and new years day in london
Do all shops open new years eve and new years day in london?
Sunday trading laws apply for New Years Eve, which means that apart from any 7-11 Spar-type convienience stores pretty much everywhere will be sticking to either 10am-4pm or 11am-5pm.
As far as New Years Day is concerned, most places will be open, but sticking to Bank Holiday hours. Allowing for staff hangovers and the like, most places will probably stick to Sunday trading hours again - opening at 10am or 11am and possibly going through to 5pm or 6pm, but this is at their descretion and if the staff can be found who are sober enough to be able to work.
Why can't everybody just wait until 2nd January and actually let these poor underpaid shop assistants have a day off and enjoy some time with their families instead of worrying about shop opening hours?
Reply:lol metal mickey really is meatal
I want to know the same thing beside we need shopping
Reply:No, New Years Day is a bank holiday, so shops have to follow certain trading rules, lots of shops will be open but these will be for reduced hours.

When will Christians STOP citing Josephus?
The passage in Antiwuities that mentions Jesus was stuck in there 250 eyars later. Schoalrs who are not committed Fundamentalists conclude that it's bogus.
Here's why:
1) It's stylistically different from the rest of the text.
2) Remove it, and it reads smoothly.
3) No early Christian cites Josephus, as they would if it mentioned Jesus.
4) Origen (185-254) wrote that there's no mention of Jesus in Josephus, AND that he never believed in any Messiah.
5) Interesting how in his book there are a lot of gys named "jesus"-- all in the Hebrew form, Yeshua. EXCEPT in the interpolated text, in which his name is oddly given in its erroneous Greek form, Jesus.
6) In Jewish War, Josephus expresses contempt for all messianic agitators, blaming them for the nation's ruin.
7) He also claims that Vespasian fulfilled all the Messianic prophecies. So how likely is it that he'd gush about Jesus?
When will Christians STOP citing Josephus?
You should give 'em something to look at. Modern biblical scholarship makes a very compelling case for the idea that Jesus never existed... that he was, in fact, entirely fictional.

Of course, true 'believers' will never look... they're afraid that they might see something that actually makes sense, and will shake the foundations of their faith.
Reply:The interesting thing about the historical existence of Jesus is it doesn't matter. If some person named Yeshua ben Yoseph did live and die at 1st century Palestine, that would not make him devine. He could just have been one of many religious rabble rousers that come up in times of trouble like Joseph Smith or Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, the guy who started Wahhabi Islam.
Don't mean a word of it is true.
Reply:the fact that some use josephus in their arguements is to give a
corelation of secular history that jives with times and events as
written in the Bible.It seems that so many folks try so hard to
prove that what is written in the Bible is folk lore or myth,that when
someone does show a direct link between secular and bible

How do you all deal with an inlaw that is alway trying to hurt you? Whose always angry and intimidating me?
My daughter in law. goes out of her way to be nasty to me, in what she says and does. She has refused to partictpate with me and allow me the time with my grandchildren. until I threatened my son that I would adopt some. Recently this DIL told me in so many words I was terrible Mother to my son and its not true. I was very close to my son until he married this girl. When I was in a car accident this DIL did not even allow my son to come and see me the first day. He cam as the eyars go by I feel she has not mellowed at all even though I got to se my grandchildren this summer, she has not alwoed me to see them before this and I feel like a stranger to two of them because she did not allow me to come for a visit unless she invited me. Few visits. and one time I went to see them she was so pissed off she would not even answer the door. The baby did. I feel she is disconnected in her feelings, she has no manners or social skills. I feel she is her own Mother. Not very sociable. either.
How do you all deal with an inlaw that is alway trying to hurt you? Whose always angry and intimidating me?
Do you have any clue (s) as to why she's the way she is? Did she have a bad upbringing or some issues with her own mother that she's putting onto you? Was there ever a time when the two of you got along, and if so, what changed that???
Certainly it can't be pleasant to deal w/this, but you need to remember that your son loves her (I'm assuming this, anyhow) and you don't want to create any more friction than already exists. Try to speak w/your son and let him know how unhappy it makes you not to be able to see your grandkids when you want to. Maybe he can bring the kids over to your place without your daughter-in-law present.
Good luck w/this difficult situation. I wish I had more suggestions!
Reply:family drama has been very popular for at least 100,000 years. why not try to figure out why it exists, and what you can do to avoid being as dysfunctional as the 1 trillion people who needed it to satisfy their unconscious needs and behaviors. check out the book *the complete idiot's guide to toltec wisdom*. without it and/ or counseling, your drama will be ceaseless. good luck ;-)
Reply:Best advice: don't stir things up between you and your daughter in-law. Your son is automatically going to take her side no matter what you say. Even if it's true and he knows these things are happening, he will always take her side. He obviously loves her or else he wouldn't be married to her. My boyfriend was in the same situation and he took his wife's side before his parents because he thought that they were wrong about her and just didn't "know" her like he did. They wound up getting a divorce. Back to you, you know, in situations like these there isn't much you can do really. You just have to kind of sit back and let things happen. One day he might get sick of how she handles things. One thing you could do is talk to your son instead of her about spending more time with your grandchildren. Where is he when she automatically makes these decisions? I'm wondering if he has a say in anything that goes on concerning their children and other matters as well.
Reply:Start today and pour out all the love and care that you can find within onto your son, his wife, and their children. Negative and negative, don't work, but pour positive on it, and it has a tendency to crack the negative.

Please please advise?
my fiance is not only blaming me for losing my job, but bringing up things that happeded 4 years ago and throwing it all back in my face again, i want out of here so bad , but have nowhere to go, i am so hurt right now i need help, the furnace just started acting up and he is slamming doors and yelling alot, i am 34 eyars old, and not a clue what to do or how to do it.
Please please advise?
fiancee?? 4 years? Hmm. blaming. Hmmm. throwing, slamming, yelling.... Not good. He needs to learn how to manage his anger. If you don't leave, then this may very well escalate into another domestic violence statistic. Go explain your situation to the battered women's shelter. They will appropriately advise you. It's hard for you to see and understand that YOU DO have options. Go tomorrow and find out what they are before you get physically hurt. I know the emotional part is bad enough.... So go tomorrow.
Reply:Sounds like you need to vent. You probably should call someone you are close with and talk it over. You are sensitive and upset, and in need of support and encouragement.
He sounds frustrated. Maybe you are having financial problems in the house, and you losing your job put a little more pressure on him. So........just be patient with him, and yourself. It will get better. This is the truth.
Give yourself some praise for getting out there and trying to get something better, and getting those resumes around. He is probably scared and unsure and insecure about what the future will hold with him being the only bread winner right now.
Give him some space, and you get some too. He will settle down. And you will feel better. Right now emotions are just very high. Tomorrow will hopefully be a brighter day, and your moods will reflect it. Good luck to you, job hunting, and in your relationship as well.
Reply:Get away from the immature jerk!!! Go to a woman's shelter. Seek out relatives to help you until you can stand on your own two feet. It's too late for the " type of guy you should select before getting it on in a relationship", advice. But; you have to watch where you "park you car", in the future. You are 34 years old and have a lot of life left in you ... so move on and go forward !!!
Reply:Uh.....leave?
Reply:Ya Ya leave people say. If you really wanted to leave you would. You have been with him for four years and I am sure this is not the first time he has thrown a fit. Does he work or are you supporting him? Is there a womens shelter in your town? If so, go there - get on your own two feet, get some councelling and move on. No womans shelter then make a plan, get a place of your own and move out. Churches and Salvation Army have many donated items that you can get to help to set up your own apartment. No woman deserves to be treated poorly by a man (or anyone else).

Please please advise?
fiancee?? 4 years? Hmm. blaming. Hmmm. throwing, slamming, yelling.... Not good. He needs to learn how to manage his anger. If you don't leave, then this may very well escalate into another domestic violence statistic. Go explain your situation to the battered women's shelter. They will appropriately advise you. It's hard for you to see and understand that YOU DO have options. Go tomorrow and find out what they are before you get physically hurt. I know the emotional part is bad enough.... So go tomorrow.
Reply:Sounds like you need to vent. You probably should call someone you are close with and talk it over. You are sensitive and upset, and in need of support and encouragement.
He sounds frustrated. Maybe you are having financial problems in the house, and you losing your job put a little more pressure on him. So........just be patient with him, and yourself. It will get better. This is the truth.
Give yourself some praise for getting out there and trying to get something better, and getting those resumes around. He is probably scared and unsure and insecure about what the future will hold with him being the only bread winner right now.
Give him some space, and you get some too. He will settle down. And you will feel better. Right now emotions are just very high. Tomorrow will hopefully be a brighter day, and your moods will reflect it. Good luck to you, job hunting, and in your relationship as well.
Reply:Get away from the immature jerk!!! Go to a woman's shelter. Seek out relatives to help you until you can stand on your own two feet. It's too late for the " type of guy you should select before getting it on in a relationship", advice. But; you have to watch where you "park you car", in the future. You are 34 years old and have a lot of life left in you ... so move on and go forward !!!
Reply:Uh.....leave?
Reply:Ya Ya leave people say. If you really wanted to leave you would. You have been with him for four years and I am sure this is not the first time he has thrown a fit. Does he work or are you supporting him? Is there a womens shelter in your town? If so, go there - get on your own two feet, get some councelling and move on. No womans shelter then make a plan, get a place of your own and move out. Churches and Salvation Army have many donated items that you can get to help to set up your own apartment. No woman deserves to be treated poorly by a man (or anyone else).

Is it right?
When i was 12 years old i met my frist boyfriend. We lasted 2 years together. My family n his family knew each otha. Later Me n my family moved way n i didn't c him for 3 years. Durin dose 3 years withought him i met another boy. I am goin out with this new boy for about 2 years now. One day i was in the internet n i saw the boy i use to go out with when i was 12 years old. I still love him n he still loves me after all these eyars. Should i stay with the boy im with now after 2 years,or should i go out with the boy ive loved all my life ever since i was 12 years old?
Is it right?
go with the boy that loved you since you were 12. cause thats sweet and true love. since he still loves you.
Reply:thats tough..just follow your heart...u never know the guy that u loved when u were 12 could have changed...u all should just be friends for a whie and take it from there
Reply:At your age you should be more worried about clothes, makeup, having fun, playing sports and friends rather than worrying about a relationship. You are a kid only once, try to enjoy it.
Reply:Do what your heart says. If you don't follow your heart you will never truley be happy. If things can work out between your 12 year old love and you know it go for it. Remember relationship is about commitment It's a 2 way road not a one way. If you are happy where you are don't change things and stay with the guy you are currently with, if you aren't and you know your 12 year old love is willing to start a commitment then start it. The longer you stay with this other guy and know that it's not right and you are in love with someone else the worse it will be later. Trust me. it's happened to me several times. Just follow your heart.
Reply:You should stop worrying about boys and go to school and learn to spell ,Sweetie.
Reply:its not right unless you don;'t like the boy you are with now.
Reply:The answer is simple follow your heart,
Choose what is the best for you abd be sure that you will not regret that.

How do I lose weight of my hips and get a flat stomach in three weeks?
I am 15 eyars old and would like to lose a stone in three weeks for my holiday, however no matter how hard i try I can not get a flat stomach or get rid of love handels.
How do I lose weight of my hips and get a flat stomach in three weeks?
Homeopathic Treatment for Excessive Fat and Weight :-
PHYTOLACCA BERRY's Mother Tincture is perhaps the safest and sure fire way of loosing excessive fat around abdomen. With Phytolacca Berry once you loose the excessive fat and weight you don't get it back because you body takes care of itself after that and keeps you from gathering up excessive fat. It is prescribed after having a baby too, to get the tummy to loose its flab and to make it flatter and tighter. And after loosing weight with this you don't get flabby it tightens up the flab and skin along with helping your body to shed the excessive accumulation of fat around the girth
The dosage is 15 to 20 drops of the tincture in half a cup of hot water thrice a day half hour before or after meals.
Avoid Chocolates, Coffee, Mints, Red Meat and Carbonated and Alcoholic drinks while taking Homeopathic Medicines. You have to take it for at least 30 to 45 days after that you start to feel the results.
To the best of my knowledge its the safest and the most sure fire way of loosing fat and weight and keeping it of for keeps. Excellent remedy for Obese people who cant seem to shed weight despite trying.
Homeopathic Remedies can be found at all Major Herbal Stores or could be bought on line, In most of the world Homeopathic remedies are quite cheap and easy to find and they do not need a prescription.
Take care and God Bless !

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity. Get a fitness calculator that you can put on your cell phone and computer. This will allow you to easily calculate this formula, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as white potatoes) and drink lots of water.
Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/P...
*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.

*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.
*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com

What do you need to get from the boss when quitting the job?
My sister is quiting her job. she is a chef at the restaurant for 3 eyars and she does all the work very good but the people there are not treating her good and the boss is very 2 faced and unfair. The boss never pays the vacation paychecks until u ask for them, and even monthly paychecks sometimes bounce.
now she is quiting and she doesn't know what papars seh has to get from her boss to certify her leaving and what else does she have a right to receive? the last payment, the payment for the next 2 weeks? the vacation paycheck for this year, a paycheck for the health injuries she got(lifting up heavy meat)?
please share what you know about this and give any advice. thanx
What do you need to get from the boss when quitting the job?
Her pay, her 4%, her separation papers, any letters of recommendation. She can ask at the unemployment office what she can do next. She can also take her case and any complaints ,money owed, back pay, to the labour offices. They will advise her of her rights.
Reply:From your sister: a letter of resignation with 2 weeks notice, depending on states, provinces.
From the boss:
- A final pay cheque with all outstanding wages owned by the boss.
- All vacation pay - by law, they have to be paid to your sister.
- Record of employment paper - to apply for unemployment insurance as needed.
- A letter of Reference - good, use it. If not, keep it away.
Please check out the local labor law office for more information.

Reply:i dont think she needs anything when you quit. when she fills out a new app maybe she can just put that she felt she was being mis treated they should give her her pay for the time she worked . and it varies about the vacation pay some places will give it some wont
Reply:She should give a letter to her boss stating that she is resigning her position in two weeks. This is standard notice of leaving. She should also ask in that same letter for two letters of reference (duplicates). This is very normal and should be granted even if she has issues with the boss. She should be paid for the last two weeks and when she finishes those weeks she should be paid vacation pay and health injury pay (if still owing). Basically she should be totally squared up on her last day or know that the money will be deposited on a given day (if direct deposit).

Guy Problems?
I've ben dating my mand for 4 eyars now. We recenttly took a 2 month break because we would argue alot. We jsut got back togetehr 1 week ago and things seem like they are the same. When we argue he screams at me raising hsi voice and uses the "F" word alot. I Feel like i piss him off very easily. Before- if he didn't like something he would go along with it and said whatever. Now- he yells at me and expects me not to defend myself. He told me he's seeing someone else jsut to piss me of. A while a go he called me and left several messages saying he's sorryf or acting like a jerk and telling me those things and that he had told me these things because he wanted to get a reaction out of me. In reality he REALLY hurt my feelings. What should i do???I love him very much but- i can't put up with this kind of treatment. I feel like i deserve better. One reason why i won't move on is because he's never cheated on me and really believe he never will. He's one of those faithfull one
Guy Problems?
Being faithful isn't the only things a relationship is about. You have to respect each other. There are definitely a lot or reasons to break up, not just one. He needs to get his anger under control because he sounds half way dangerous to you. I would cut your losses and leave. I know you've invested a lot of time and energy into him but you do deserve better. Just tell him you're tired of fighting and that though you'll always care for him you can't go on living your life like this. You guys just aren't compatible, even if you do love each other.
Reply:You really need to put your child FIRST and not what YOU want. Do you really think that this is a healthy situation for the child to be in? The situation with you the BF won't change...and how do you know he doesn't have someone else? He might well have but you don't want to accept it.
Also, why do you feel you must have a man in your child's life? He is better off with just you than you and some abuser.
Reply:If I was you I would get off *** an yell back. Show him what you don't like. Don't let him lower your self-esteem. Don't show him whose boss, just let him know that you have say so in this relationship to.
Reply:YOUR FEELING IS RIGHT YOU DO DESERVE BETTER. HE IS VERBALLY ABUSING YOU, RIGHT UP THERE WITH CHEATING. IT IS NOT BETTER. VERBAL TURNS TO PHYSICAL. PROTECT YOU AND YOUR CHILD. MAKE THE HARDEST DESICIONS OF YOUR LIFE. GOOD LUCK!
Reply:This guy really needs some anger management classes if you barely do anything to piss him off. If he doesn't get help, the arguments could escalate into physical violence. True love or not, you cannot put yourself in harm's way. Help him find help, and then move on. No man is worth risking your life for.

You like the BAD BOY JERKS that treat you like s h i t so you can have something to talk about with your friends. Just keep playing the game with him until he decideds to settle down with you and get married.
Reply:No one deserves to be treated that way. My suggestion is that he go to counseling. After he goes to a couple of sessions, maybe you could both go together.
Reply:Get busy with your own life, being alone isn't so bad....I would rather deal with my own company than waste my energy screaming and fighting and bs allllll the time....for what?

Reply:I'm in a similar relationship right now, my husband is very tough but he doesn't beat me and definitely doesn't cheat on me he doesn't believe in it.but believe me i was in your shoes and i wish i didn't move on.it hurts to admit Cos relatively its not so bad but at the same time it could have been better..you will do a lot of sacrificing and will be hurt you and your child.believe me that percent of the good times you are having with him now will decrease by the days so it is not worth it!

Help me please?
I have loved this girl for 3 eyars now. We dated early for about a year and we broke up. We are in close contact and still mess around. I would love to get back with her but she is young and has told me a relationship right now is not what she needs. Do I give up? or wait for the girl of my dreams?
Help me please?
Listen to what she is telling you bro. She needs some space.....so for now, enjoy the booty, and when she is ready to get serious, you're in. Don't give up, be patient and listen
Reply:Go on about your life for now, because if it is meant to be than it is going to happen regardless.
Reply:ask her if when shes ready to ate will she pick you and that's how you know if ou need to wait or move on
Reply:well... if ya love the gurl soo much then wait yeah if mite take a while but time passes! wait for her its the best thing to do -k-!!!
Reply:give it up. look, she's not available; why beat a dead horse. go find someone new.
Reply:if u think she is the one for u and while ur waiting she wont mess around then wait for her.but if u know she will be doing whatever she wants and ur the only one who is waiting for her then it really doesnt make alot of sense to me.
Reply:Personally my friend life is too short to keep trying if she's said not now well you can't be expected to wait until she's ready...move on and maybe you'll find the women of your dreams or this girl will wake up once she knows what she's lost...
Reply:if u really love her wait for ur time.. if not.. then why waste time for that..
Reply:how old are each of you? regardless, she obviously does not feel the same way about you, if you are indeed in love, you need to extract her from your life while you move on and get over her...maybe you can return to being friends once your romantic feelings subside
Reply:give the girl some space maybe that is what she wants. maybe she dont want to be with someone right now. she is young and maybe she just wants to enjoy her life for awhile. give her time to think and if she still feels the same for u then trust me she will come back to ya. for now let it be and dont talk about it unless she wants to. and tell her you will respect the chosen that she makes. and tell her you`ll always be there for her no matter what.
Reply:Well sounds to me that you already have her, just not in the ways and terms that YOU want. Think about what is best for the relationship that you do have now to last, and do that. If you really like her so much, then keep doing what you're doing, and wait for her to say that she's ready for that commitment to you.
Reply:Wait for her. you'll be glad you did or ask her this question and see her intentions.
Reply:I'm probably one of the few woman that will tell you to continue to mess around with her (if you can keep your heart from being hurt). But, look around for a new woman. I'm sure there are plenty of woman out there that would be happy to be involved in a relationship with a guy like you. There are a lot of people out there that you can be happy with. just gotta give them a chance. One question.....why do you want a relationship with a girl who only wants friendship sex?
Reply:keep messing around ... and look for another girl at the same time
Reply:if she is worth waiting for, wait for her!
Reply:If she is the girl of you're dreams YOU WAIT FOR HER!
Shes still young remember, the most important things in life are taken slow. Don't give up yet.
Reply:well if u love her that much i would wait for the girl and see what happens keep her as a friend, do what your heart tells you what to do, i moved to texas to be with someone and it was the best thing i ever did

jessica
man you should take her advices she is good on that stuff why do you think i am still around:)
Reply:do you really love her? because if you do then you should be willing to wait for her
Help me please?
Listen to what she is telling you bro. She needs some space.....so for now, enjoy the booty, and when she is ready to get serious, you're in. Don't give up, be patient and listen
Reply:Go on about your life for now, because if it is meant to be than it is going to happen regardless.
Reply:ask her if when shes ready to ate will she pick you and that's how you know if ou need to wait or move on
Reply:well... if ya love the gurl soo much then wait yeah if mite take a while but time passes! wait for her its the best thing to do -k-!!!
Reply:give it up. look, she's not available; why beat a dead horse. go find someone new.
Reply:if u think she is the one for u and while ur waiting she wont mess around then wait for her.but if u know she will be doing whatever she wants and ur the only one who is waiting for her then it really doesnt make alot of sense to me.
Reply:Personally my friend life is too short to keep trying if she's said not now well you can't be expected to wait until she's ready...move on and maybe you'll find the women of your dreams or this girl will wake up once she knows what she's lost...
Reply:if u really love her wait for ur time.. if not.. then why waste time for that..
Reply:how old are each of you? regardless, she obviously does not feel the same way about you, if you are indeed in love, you need to extract her from your life while you move on and get over her...maybe you can return to being friends once your romantic feelings subside
Reply:give the girl some space maybe that is what she wants. maybe she dont want to be with someone right now. she is young and maybe she just wants to enjoy her life for awhile. give her time to think and if she still feels the same for u then trust me she will come back to ya. for now let it be and dont talk about it unless she wants to. and tell her you will respect the chosen that she makes. and tell her you`ll always be there for her no matter what.
Reply:Well sounds to me that you already have her, just not in the ways and terms that YOU want. Think about what is best for the relationship that you do have now to last, and do that. If you really like her so much, then keep doing what you're doing, and wait for her to say that she's ready for that commitment to you.
Reply:Wait for her. you'll be glad you did or ask her this question and see her intentions.
Reply:I'm probably one of the few woman that will tell you to continue to mess around with her (if you can keep your heart from being hurt). But, look around for a new woman. I'm sure there are plenty of woman out there that would be happy to be involved in a relationship with a guy like you. There are a lot of people out there that you can be happy with. just gotta give them a chance. One question.....why do you want a relationship with a girl who only wants friendship sex?
Reply:keep messing around ... and look for another girl at the same time
Reply:if she is worth waiting for, wait for her!
Reply:If she is the girl of you're dreams YOU WAIT FOR HER!
Shes still young remember, the most important things in life are taken slow. Don't give up yet.
Reply:well if u love her that much i would wait for the girl and see what happens keep her as a friend, do what your heart tells you what to do, i moved to texas to be with someone and it was the best thing i ever did
Reply:do what your heart says.

Is christianty paulism?
The True Founder of Christianity
The teachings of Paul, the true founder of Christianity, cannot be found anywhere in the teachings of Jesus or in those of prophets before him.
The following are some of the innovations that Paul introduced into "his" religion of Christianity.
1. The divinity of Jesus
2. The trinity
3. Atonement
4. Salvation by faith
it seems as though jesus was born and died like millions of people. maybe he was special maybe not. there were plenty of people who had special abilities in the past that wernt god. the point is chriostianity was formed after his death. it wasnt his religion it was pauls. paul just created a religion based on his acount of a man who died many eyars before him
***- credit goes to one of the members on this site with a nickname like a27z or something like that for asking some key questions
Is christianty paulism?
I read a27z's answer to your previous question, and it seems to me that you aren't looking for answers, you're only looking for people to agree with you. This is a sad state of affairs.
Paul did not create Christianity. He did not invent the divinity of Jesus, the Trinity, the Atonement or Salvation by faith.
Jesus, Himself, indicated His own divinity on numerous occasions.
For instance, when Peter said "You are the anointed son of God", Jesus said "You are right."
When the crowds wanted to stone Jesus, and he asked WHY, they said that it was because he claimed equlity with God.
When Jesus was on trial, the high priest asked him, "Are you the son of God?" Jesus said "yes!"
John 1:1 says that "in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" ... (v14) "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld His glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."
The book of revelations, written by John the beloved while exiled on the island of Patmos, indicated that Jesus is "the First and the Last, the Beginning and the Ending", just as God (Jehovah, if you please) said in Isaiah.
Paul's conversion was recorded in the book of Acts, as written by Luke, the very same Luke that wrote one of the gospels, and Luke also pointed out that the divinity of Jesus.
The concept of the Trinity starts back in Genesis 1, when it says "B'raishish bara Elohim (not "Eloheinu") es ha'sh'mayim v'es ho'oretz" - "In the beginning Elohim (God, pleural, not God singular) created the heavens and the earth." Farther down, it says, "And God (Elohim-pleural) said, 'Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness'."
Atonement by the blood of a sacrificial lamb was presented in the Law as "a shadow of better things to come", and when John baptized Jesus, he cried out, "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world."
Salvation is always by faith. "Abraham BELIEVED God, and that was accounted to him for his righteousness."

Reply:You need to do some more research.
Paul was an apostle of God.
True Christianity is central to the teachings of Jesus Christ.
The atonement for mans sins, came about through Jesus
CHrist's, death on Calvary's cross, His Burial,and resurrection
from the grave; not the apostle Paul.
Reply:Yes the Pauline nonsense replaced the teachings of Jesus and became the religion we know of today as Christianity.
Love and blessings Don
Reply:Paul did not teach the trinity.
Paul taught us to worship the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Please note that the context “of” is the same as “his God and Father”.
Please note that the context always makes the God and Father separate from Lord Jesus.
Jesus:
(John 17:3) 3 This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.
Paul:
(Romans 15:5-6) 5 Now may the God who supplies endurance and comfort grant YOU to have among yourselves the same mental attitude that Christ Jesus had, 6 that with one accord YOU may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(1 Corinthians 15:24) 24 Next, the end, when he hands over the kingdom to his God and Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and power.
(2 Corinthians 1:3) 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort,
(2 Corinthians 11:31) 31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, even the One who is to be praised forever, knows I am not lying.
(Galatians 1:3-5) 3 May YOU have undeserved kindness and peace from God our Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ. 4 He gave himself for our sins that he might deliver us from the present wicked system of things according to the will of our God and Father, 5 to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
(Ephesians 1:3) 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for he has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in union with Christ,
(Ephesians 1:17) 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give YOU a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the accurate knowledge of him;
(Ephesians 4:6) 6 one God and Father of all [persons], who is over all and through all and in all.
(Ephesians 5:20) 20 in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ giving thanks always for all things to our God and Father.
(Philippians 4:20) 20 Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
(1 Thessalonians 1:3-4) 3 for we bear incessantly in mind YOUR faithful work and [your] loving labor and [your] endurance due to [your] hope in our Lord Jesus Christ before our God and Father. 4 For we know, brothers loved by God, his choosing of YOU,
(1 Thessalonians 3:11-13) 11 Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus direct our way prosperously to YOU. 12 Moreover, may the Lord cause YOU to increase, yes, make YOU abound, in love to one another and to all, even as we also do to YOU; 13 to the end that he may make YOUR hearts firm, unblamable in holiness before our God and Father at the presence of our Lord Jesus with all his holy ones.
James:
(James 1:27) 27 The form of worship that is clean and undefiled from the standpoint of our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation, and to keep oneself without spot from the world.
Peter:
(1 Peter 1:3-4) 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for according to his great mercy he gave us a new birth to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an incorruptible and undefiled and unfading inheritance. It is reserved in the heavens for YOU,
John:
(Revelation 1:5-6) 1 A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him, to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place. And he sent forth his angel and presented [it] in signs through him to his slave John, 5 . . .To him that loves us and that loosed us from our sins by means of his own blood— 6 and he made us to be a kingdom, priests to his God and Father—yes, to him be the glory and the might forever. Amen.
Jesus, Paul, James, Peter and John all taught the same.
As to Atonement and Salvation, You are mislead about these also.
.
Reply:You seem to have missed a few Gospel passages:
Mark 14:62 And Jesus said, I AM: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. :63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? :64 Ye have heard the blasphemy:...
John 8:19 Then they said unto Him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. 20 These words spake Jesus in the treasurey, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
John 8:24, "Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I AM, you will die in your sins."
John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM.
Reply:Non-sense! All this Anti-Christian stuff is garbage and bad history.
Reply:While I am not a Christian, I agree that the non-Trinitarian view of God seems more sensible. You might want to look at the non-Trinitarian versions of Christianity.
I would suggest looking into these Christian churches which are all non-Trinitarian: Jehovah's Witnesses, Christadelphians, Bible Students, American Unitarian Conference, Arian Catholic Church, Oneness Pentecostal, UU Christian Fellowship, etc. Swedenborgianism (look up Swedenborg on Wikipedia) was also non-Trinitarian. Perhaps one of these may speak to your condition. You can find all of them doing an online search.
While it is true that LDS Mormons do not believe in the Trinity, they have a doctrine of Godhead and eternal progression which is more polytheistic than monotheistic.
Reply:In a single word, Yes
Without Paul Christianity would have likely been a small Jewish sect that would have likely died out just as the Sadducees did.
Reply:Ijust have a question, then:
Did PAUL die for our sins, or did Christ?
I never see Paul promoting himself, but I DO see him giving ALL credit to Jesus.
Reply:You need to go back and read the whole Bible every word you have missed a lot.
Reply:It is quite funny that Paul would be the creator of a religion of people he persecuted and killed before converting himself.
Reply:Yes all these are true facts...but no christian will accept it..
they are brain washed from their young age and even if they know that their religion is a construct of all false ideas %26amp; beliefs, they still keep propagating those things and keep saying theirs is the only truth...
pity jesus, for he has become the reason for destroying centuries and centuries old of civilization and bring in a way of life which is completely intolerant and doesnt suit humanity to meet its actual final goal.
No religion is false, its like going from truth to higher truth...
our life is a constant search for truth..
but every religion has false ideas and beliefs..that was made over time...
its really bad that christians only follow the false ideas and beliefs and leave away the truth behind their religion.
Reply:No Christianity is following Jesus. Jesus picked his disciples and spent years teaching them and preparing them for life without him. Paul (Saul) killed Christians until he accepted Jesus. Paul spent the rest of his life working for Christ. Christianity is faith in God thought Jesus, not in Paul.
Reply:It was started by Jesus Himself. He sent His disciples out to preach the gospel. It wasn't started by Paul, or Peter, or Constantine. It was started by Jesus. That's the very reason He came. He came to die for our sins. It was GOD'S plan of salvation, not Paul's, not Peter's. GOD'S!
Paul was selected by Jesus Himself to spread the Word. Paul didn't go looking for it. He was killing Christian's for crying out loud. It was Jesus who stopped him on that road, and blinded him, and then showed him the LIGHT. Paul didn't make this stuff up. The Bible is the inspired word of God. It speaks the truth, and that's all it can do, because it comes from God. You can question it all you want, but I know the truth, and so do all true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ.
It isn't "Paul's" religion. It's Jesus' Truth. God Bless
Reply:In my opinion it is Paulism. He had quite an agenda and he was a spy. Like I've always said. Xianity was an ingenious plan. It has destroyed the will of the people and kept them in a prison of their own making.
Reply:Pizzaboy, you really need to study the Bible yourself, with prayer, asking for wisdom, knowledge and understanding of the will of God.
God be with you,

Reply:Well, don't forget that a lot of it is also Augustiniaism.
So blend Paulism with Augustinianism and there ya have it.
Reply:I would recommend you to please log on to metahistroy.org and read the works of John Lash on Gnosticism before you come to any conclusion in this regard. But visit this site with an open mind and it can change your views forever.

Paul was an apostle of God.
True Christianity is central to the teachings of Jesus Christ.
The atonement for mans sins, came about through Jesus
CHrist's, death on Calvary's cross, His Burial,and resurrection
from the grave; not the apostle Paul.
Reply:Yes the Pauline nonsense replaced the teachings of Jesus and became the religion we know of today as Christianity.
Love and blessings Don
Reply:Paul did not teach the trinity.
Paul taught us to worship the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Please note that the context “of” is the same as “his God and Father”.
Please note that the context always makes the God and Father separate from Lord Jesus.
Jesus:
(John 17:3) 3 This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.
Paul:
(Romans 15:5-6) 5 Now may the God who supplies endurance and comfort grant YOU to have among yourselves the same mental attitude that Christ Jesus had, 6 that with one accord YOU may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(1 Corinthians 15:24) 24 Next, the end, when he hands over the kingdom to his God and Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and power.
(2 Corinthians 1:3) 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort,
(2 Corinthians 11:31) 31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, even the One who is to be praised forever, knows I am not lying.
(Galatians 1:3-5) 3 May YOU have undeserved kindness and peace from God our Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ. 4 He gave himself for our sins that he might deliver us from the present wicked system of things according to the will of our God and Father, 5 to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
(Ephesians 1:3) 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for he has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in union with Christ,
(Ephesians 1:17) 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give YOU a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the accurate knowledge of him;
(Ephesians 4:6) 6 one God and Father of all [persons], who is over all and through all and in all.
(Ephesians 5:20) 20 in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ giving thanks always for all things to our God and Father.
(Philippians 4:20) 20 Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
(1 Thessalonians 1:3-4) 3 for we bear incessantly in mind YOUR faithful work and [your] loving labor and [your] endurance due to [your] hope in our Lord Jesus Christ before our God and Father. 4 For we know, brothers loved by God, his choosing of YOU,
(1 Thessalonians 3:11-13) 11 Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus direct our way prosperously to YOU. 12 Moreover, may the Lord cause YOU to increase, yes, make YOU abound, in love to one another and to all, even as we also do to YOU; 13 to the end that he may make YOUR hearts firm, unblamable in holiness before our God and Father at the presence of our Lord Jesus with all his holy ones.
James:
(James 1:27) 27 The form of worship that is clean and undefiled from the standpoint of our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation, and to keep oneself without spot from the world.
Peter:
(1 Peter 1:3-4) 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for according to his great mercy he gave us a new birth to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an incorruptible and undefiled and unfading inheritance. It is reserved in the heavens for YOU,
John:
(Revelation 1:5-6) 1 A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him, to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place. And he sent forth his angel and presented [it] in signs through him to his slave John, 5 . . .To him that loves us and that loosed us from our sins by means of his own blood— 6 and he made us to be a kingdom, priests to his God and Father—yes, to him be the glory and the might forever. Amen.
Jesus, Paul, James, Peter and John all taught the same.
As to Atonement and Salvation, You are mislead about these also.

Reply:You seem to have missed a few Gospel passages:
Mark 14:62 And Jesus said, I AM: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. :63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? :64 Ye have heard the blasphemy:...
John 8:19 Then they said unto Him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. 20 These words spake Jesus in the treasurey, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
John 8:24, "Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I AM, you will die in your sins."
John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM.
Reply:Non-sense! All this Anti-Christian stuff is garbage and bad history.
Reply:While I am not a Christian, I agree that the non-Trinitarian view of God seems more sensible. You might want to look at the non-Trinitarian versions of Christianity.
I would suggest looking into these Christian churches which are all non-Trinitarian: Jehovah's Witnesses, Christadelphians, Bible Students, American Unitarian Conference, Arian Catholic Church, Oneness Pentecostal, UU Christian Fellowship, etc. Swedenborgianism (look up Swedenborg on Wikipedia) was also non-Trinitarian. Perhaps one of these may speak to your condition. You can find all of them doing an online search.
While it is true that LDS Mormons do not believe in the Trinity, they have a doctrine of Godhead and eternal progression which is more polytheistic than monotheistic.
Reply:In a single word, Yes
Without Paul Christianity would have likely been a small Jewish sect that would have likely died out just as the Sadducees did.
Reply:Ijust have a question, then:
Did PAUL die for our sins, or did Christ?
I never see Paul promoting himself, but I DO see him giving ALL credit to Jesus.
Reply:You need to go back and read the whole Bible every word you have missed a lot.
Reply:It is quite funny that Paul would be the creator of a religion of people he persecuted and killed before converting himself.
Reply:Yes all these are true facts...but no christian will accept it..
they are brain washed from their young age and even if they know that their religion is a construct of all false ideas %26amp; beliefs, they still keep propagating those things and keep saying theirs is the only truth...
pity jesus, for he has become the reason for destroying centuries and centuries old of civilization and bring in a way of life which is completely intolerant and doesnt suit humanity to meet its actual final goal.
No religion is false, its like going from truth to higher truth...
our life is a constant search for truth..
but every religion has false ideas and beliefs..that was made over time...
its really bad that christians only follow the false ideas and beliefs and leave away the truth behind their religion.
Reply:No Christianity is following Jesus. Jesus picked his disciples and spent years teaching them and preparing them for life without him. Paul (Saul) killed Christians until he accepted Jesus. Paul spent the rest of his life working for Christ. Christianity is faith in God thought Jesus, not in Paul.
Reply:It was started by Jesus Himself. He sent His disciples out to preach the gospel. It wasn't started by Paul, or Peter, or Constantine. It was started by Jesus. That's the very reason He came. He came to die for our sins. It was GOD'S plan of salvation, not Paul's, not Peter's. GOD'S!
Paul was selected by Jesus Himself to spread the Word. Paul didn't go looking for it. He was killing Christian's for crying out loud. It was Jesus who stopped him on that road, and blinded him, and then showed him the LIGHT. Paul didn't make this stuff up. The Bible is the inspired word of God. It speaks the truth, and that's all it can do, because it comes from God. You can question it all you want, but I know the truth, and so do all true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ.
It isn't "Paul's" religion. It's Jesus' Truth. God Bless
Reply:In my opinion it is Paulism. He had quite an agenda and he was a spy. Like I've always said. Xianity was an ingenious plan. It has destroyed the will of the people and kept them in a prison of their own making.
Reply:Pizzaboy, you really need to study the Bible yourself, with prayer, asking for wisdom, knowledge and understanding of the will of God.
God be with you,
William, a bond-servant of Jesus

Reply:Well, don't forget that a lot of it is also Augustiniaism.
So blend Paulism with Augustinianism and there ya have it.
Reply:I would recommend you to please log on to metahistroy.org and read the works of John Lash on Gnosticism before you come to any conclusion in this regard. But visit this site with an open mind and it can change your views forever.
Reply:Yes. Christianity could have come into being without Jesus, but never without Paul.
Nurse or Vet Nurse?
Should i become a vet nurse/assistant or a people nurse?
Which gets paid better?
and how many eyars do i have to be in college for a people nurse and a vet nurse?
which do you think is better?
Nurse or Vet Nurse?
I think it depends on what your interests are. If you love working with animals or people.
Nursing careers dealing with humans would likely pay more in most areas but wouldn't necessarily be as rewarding for someone that prefers caring for animals.

Can you sue someone for this?
I posted a naked picture of myself on a website for fun a dew eyars ago. A girl that doesnt like me found the picture, and sent it to all her friends via the internet, and all of my friends via the internet. Are there any laws where this could be considered wrong? Can i file any charges against her for this?
Can you sue someone for this?
Nope!
The internet is not private and how could you think you have a privacy issue when you are the one that posted it?
The only thing you could possibly do is sue for copyright infringement, but I doubt a lawyer would take your case unless you ante up some big bucks.

Im Not Happy With my boyfriend?
hi im 20 eyars old and i have been in a relationship for a year an 3 months and i love my boyfriend very much, however we have been having some big issues. he cheated on me with this girl that works with him. i helped him get that job and he slept with this 90 pound girl. When i found out she told me everything. ever since then i have never looked at him the same way. I started talking to this guy a while when this happened but i dont want to rush into a relationship? i dont know what to do?! Im never happy and cant stand being alone, but i dont know what to do. i love my boyfriend and we have been trying to make it work for a while but im sooo confused. i love him so much but he keeps saying that im not doing things a girlfriend would do. like for example write poems, and bring him lunch to work, and stuff like that. and im starting to think im a bad girlfreind, however wen i went over this other guys house i was talking to i brang him food and cleaned his room, whats wrong with me?
Im Not Happy With my boyfriend?
baby girl, you need to know what makes you happy. first, you'll never trust your bf again, nor will you see him in the same light as when you first met him. it's obvious that you're not happy with him. so it's time to kick him to the curb. next, what's wrong with being single for awhile? there is nothing wrong with that. don't rush into another relationship, only when you're sure of it. you don't need a man by your side right now. right now, you just need to know what makes you happy. and life would be much easier if you know how to get it. and stop bringing food and clean this new guy room. it makes you look desperate.
Reply:This guy is definetly not for you.
Find a nice man who deserves your good and dedicated personality.
Reply:just leave him how dare he do that to you beacause you sound like a loving woman .. you should leavehim and i bet you will find someone for you!! good luck
Reply:get rid of him
you'll feel better when he's gone
Reply:Personally I don't think that anything is wrong with that. Of course your not going to do stuff like that all the time. I think that you guys may need a break. You don't need a guy to make you happy. I don't like be alone either. But it is nice not to have anybody to love and tak car of other than yourself. If you are unhappy with your boyfriend hn mayb h isn't right for you. You can love him all you want but it' still dosn't make you happier. And nd th nd you'll find out that it wasn't worth it. Then again you may find that his is mister right. however the fact that h cheated on you doesn't make him the best boyfriend. And as my friends and i would say that ain't a man that's an ***. I'm not trying to put your boyfriend down but is it really worth it? Cause more than likely if he chats on you once he is likely to do it again. Anyway sorry it as so long and good luck
Reply:you b/f is using you more like his maid than his lover.. dump him....
Reply:Then cut him a break and get on with your life. But realize that most guys cheat because there is just too much eye candy out there and these chicks don't care if the guy has a girlfriend or not.
The real problem is a girl who says she loves and takes good care of a guy who treats her like crap. That's like telling him, it's okay for him to do whatever he wants as long as he (eventually) comes home to you. If you had someone who treated you like a princess and you treated them like crap, would you change? Ask yourself, why am I putting up with this guy, not what's wrong with you. It's him, not you.
Reply:you need to dump your boyfriend and get with this other guy. you cleaned his room thats so cute! sorry. anyway, your boyfriend telling you that you "arent doing things a girlfriend should do" is just ludicrous. who has those kinds of ideas? about "things a girlfriend should do"? thats ******* dumb. not to mention he cheated. dump that ******!
Reply:go visit the doc
Reply:You think there's something wrong with you because you have a loser boyfriend who cheats on you? Get rid of the loser, he doesn't love you.
Reply:you should not continue the relationship, because if you choose yes , then you will get a big problem later. he will do that daily , and he may refuse you one day , so leave him and find another guy,
Reply:this is not a complicated question to answer......DUMP HIM!
It's as simple as that!
you will hurt and be upset for a while after but you are only 20 years old! trust me when i say that you'll find someone that respects you better than this idiot that you are dating at the moment.....
start having alittle more respect for yourself!
Reply:he totally sucks, not all girlfriends have to write poems, i wouldnt trust his butt after cheating on u, especially if he works with the b*tch - i believe in the saying "once a cheater, always a cheater".
If you cant look at him in the same way then you never will, get to know this new guy :)
Good luck
Reply:Your boyfriend is trying to make you his slave. I have a firm belief that it should be the man impressing the woman, not the other way around, never clean his room. And tell him if he wants lunch brought to him, he has to do something nice for you, you're not his maid. Get rid of him, he cheats on you and treats you like garbage, it's better being alone than being with him.
Reply:i think you're starting to like the other guy and you're really not happy with your boyfriend. you don't seem to trust him anymore and not interested in changing into the person he wants you to be. take time off alone and re-assess how you really feel... know what/who you really want.
Reply:You are being manipulated.
He cheated on you, get rid of him. Now.
Then be alone for a while to figure out who you are first...and wait for a good relationship to develop with someone who will not be dishonest with you.
Reply:once a cheater, always a cheater. leave him. he doesn't deserve you. don't rush into new relationship yet. take time to enjoy yourself. be single for a while. love yourself first.
Reply:Leave him and become a lesbian you will probably enjoy your life alot more.

Reply:You think there's something wrong with you because you have a loser boyfriend who cheats on you? Get rid of the loser, he doesn't love you.
Reply:you should not continue the relationship, because if you choose yes , then you will get a big problem later. he will do that daily , and he may refuse you one day , so leave him and find another guy,
Reply:this is not a complicated question to answer......DUMP HIM!
It's as simple as that!
you will hurt and be upset for a while after but you are only 20 years old! trust me when i say that you'll find someone that respects you better than this idiot that you are dating at the moment.....
start having alittle more respect for yourself!
Reply:he totally sucks, not all girlfriends have to write poems, i wouldnt trust his butt after cheating on u, especially if he works with the b*tch - i believe in the saying "once a cheater, always a cheater".
If you cant look at him in the same way then you never will, get to know this new guy :)
Good luck
Reply:Your boyfriend is trying to make you his slave. I have a firm belief that it should be the man impressing the woman, not the other way around, never clean his room. And tell him if he wants lunch brought to him, he has to do something nice for you, you're not his maid. Get rid of him, he cheats on you and treats you like garbage, it's better being alone than being with him.
Reply:i think you're starting to like the other guy and you're really not happy with your boyfriend. you don't seem to trust him anymore and not interested in changing into the person he wants you to be. take time off alone and re-assess how you really feel... know what/who you really want.
Reply:You are being manipulated.
He cheated on you, get rid of him. Now.
Then be alone for a while to figure out who you are first...and wait for a good relationship to develop with someone who will not be dishonest with you.
Reply:once a cheater, always a cheater. leave him. he doesn't deserve you. don't rush into new relationship yet. take time to enjoy yourself. be single for a while. love yourself first.
Reply:Leave him and become a lesbian you will probably enjoy your life alot more.

Reply:Never and that's what you women love about us. As far as the bills go, did you explain to him that without electricity he can't watch his cable?
Reply:He is taking you for a ride and you got to make the trip a little rough so that he will get on his feet. You are too young to take him, nor will he mind any of your requests or threats. Tell him in clear terms that you would leave him if he does not change. If he does not give a damn, leave him.

Reply:The correct question is, "When will MY man mature?"
There are plenty of guys out there who have their priorities straight and are younger than 27. Sounds like he is not interested in your feelings or concerns.
Simply put, your "man" is not a man. He is a spoiled boy and you are the one spoiling him. I doubt you can change his behavior. Your choice is to change your attitude or your partner.
Good Luck.
Reply:no baby they do not they are as is . if at 27 he is that way that is him. get your bags packed some men really do take care of their women, he will never.
Reply:Is this a trick question??? My ex is almost 60 and has not matured yet. He thinks he has...LoL
Many men never mature.
Keep in mind women mature faster than men.
Reply:Well, to me (a 29 yr old man) it sounds like your man has matured and is just irresponsible. You may be wasting your time. Responsibility and maturity are two different things. I would have to say that if you is 27 and still acting like this, it will take a lot to change his ways.
Good Luck!

If you're willing to live with that, good luck ! Or else, move on - u deserve better .

you might want to reconsider where your life is going to be with him down the road.start holding your head above and let him sink,his ship on his own.
Reply:about 3 minutes before they die.
Reply:We grow old, we don't grow up.
Reply:Sounds like your man is very comfortable knowing that you'll pick up his slack. Stop working the extra jobs and let it fall on him for a change. Don't make it so easy on him to be so irresponsible. If they cut the cable, then so be it. Let him see that you are his HELPER and companion and NOT his mommy or his ATM. Good luck!
Reply:Men never get mature.. it's a fact. And i think you are wasting your time. So an idea is to have a serious talk with his, and tell him that he isn't mature, and if he isnt going to start to act like an mature person you will end the relationship. See to it for 2/3 weeks, and if he isn't changed, show him the door.
It doesnt sound easy, but think about the fact that you already posted an question here for an answer and that you've accepted his behaviour for too long already. It's time to choose for your own.
Good luck.

R.I.P 2pac Shakur (Sept 13)?
Today is the day 10 eyars ago when 2 pac was killed, what's your feel on him today as you see...In my personel opinion the real HIp hop which 2pac was a part is dead now its all about bling bling or gurls or rims...No rapper ever talks about the different lifestyles like 2pac did...So tell me what goes through your mind when you get reminnded of his death.
R.I.P 2pac Shakur (Sept 13)?
The thing that goes through my head is that I wish he was still alive because maybe hip hop would be different!! Like you said all they talk about is bling bling money girls rims and cars. If he was here maybe they would talk more about life and so on!!
Reply:Its a shame such an influential genius had to go out like that. But what really pisses me off is the B.I.G's chopped and screwed album.WTF?
Reply:Who? Never heard of him. Wasn't he some Criminal?
Reply:what goes through my mind is he's still alive and in hiding smoking a fat joint
Reply:Good riddance to bad garbage.
I don't know what's worse, the felonious scumbag that tupac was or the morons who worship him.
Reply:I think he will be remembered for a very long time....so he will never really be gone.
When reading his "poetry" you realize how very talented he really was.
Reply:He's not really dead.
Reply:I too, was a kid when he "died" and had no interest in his music, but it just seems a little funny to me that he's so popular post-mortem, when most others fade into the background.
Is he really dead? I saw some autopsy photos at DeadMart, but you can fake so much these days...
Reply:I miss PAC. He was so gifted. Your right no one will ever be 2pac. I listen to his music often and just wish he was still here. The whole rap scene would be ridiculous if he was here. Now stuff sounds so watered down and stupid. People dance to music that they cant even understand the words to. They recite songs that degrade women like its the thing to do. Pac wasn't like that, at least not in his songs. I think we lost someone great this day 10 years ago. We all feel it. He was so political and smart he could have done many more great things even beyond music. Its so crazy that even after all this time he is still a force to be reckoned with.
Reply:I know I was like 7 when he died it seems wierd seeing and hearing his music and videos because it doesn't feel like hes dead to me. he was a good rapper and it's just so sad.

I was wanting to know of some good ideals for Winter Solstice?
While Christian mythology is interwoven with contemporary observances of this holiday time, its Pagan nature is still strong and apparent. Pagans today can readily re-Paganize Christmastime and the secular New Year by giving a Pagan spiritual focus to existing holiday customs and by creating new traditions that draw on ancient ways. Here are some ways to do this:
# Celebrate Yule with a series of rituals, feasts, and other activities. In most ancient cultures, the celebration lasted more than a day. The ancient Roman Saturnalia festival sometimes went on for a week. Have Winter Solstice Eve and Day be the central focus for your household, and conceptualize other holiday festivities, including New Year's office parties and Christmas visits with Christian relatives, as part of your Solstice celebration. By adopting this perspective, Pagan parents can help their children develop an understanding of the multicultural and interfaith aspects of this holiday time and view "Christmas" as just another form of Solstice. Have gift exchanges and feasts over the course of several days and nights as was done of old. Party hearty on New Year's Eve not just to welcome in the new calendar year, but also to welcome the new solar year.
# Adorn the home with sacred herbs and colors. Decorate your home in Druidic holiday colors red, green, and white. Place holly, ivy, evergreen boughs, and pine cones around your home, especially in areas where socializing takes place. Hang a sprig of mistletoe above a major threshold and leave it there until next Yule as a charm for good luck throughout the year. Have family/household members join together to make or purchase an evergreen wreath. Include holiday herbs in it and then place it on your front door to symbolize the continuity of life and the wheel of the year. If you choose to have a living or a harvested evergreen tree as part of your holiday decorations, call it a Solstice tree and decorate it with Pagan symbols.
# Convey love to family, friends, and associates. At the heart of Saturnalia was the custom of family and friends feasting together and exchanging presents. Continue this custom by visiting, entertaining, giving gifts, and sending greetings by mail and/or phone. Consider those who are and/or have been important in your life and share appreciation.
# Reclaim Santa Claus as a Pagan Godform. Today's Santa is a folk figure with multicultural roots. He embodies characteristics of Saturn (Roman agricultural god), Cronos (Greek god, also known as Father Time), the Holly King (Celtic god of the dying year), Father Ice/Grandfather Frost (Russian winter god), Thor (Norse sky god who rides the sky in a chariot drawn by goats), Odin/Wotan (Scandinavian/Teutonic All-Father who rides the sky on an eight-legged horse), Frey (Norse fertility god), and the Tomte (a Norse Land Spirit known for giving gifts to children at this time of year). Santa's reindeer can be viewed as forms of Herne, the Celtic Horned God. Decorate your home with Santa images that reflect His Pagan heritage.
# Honor the Goddess as Great Mother. Place Pagan Mother Goddess images around your home. You may also want to include one with a Sun child, such as Isis with Horus. Pagan Goddess forms traditionally linked with this time of year include Tonantzin (Native Mexican corn mother), Holda (Teutonic earth goddess of good fortune), Bona Dea (Roman women's goddess of abundance and prophecy), Ops (Roman goddess of plenty), Au Set/Isis (Egyptian/multicultural All Goddess whose worship continued in Christian times under the name Mary), Lucina/St. Lucy (Roman/Swedish goddess/saint of light), and Befana (Italian Witch who gives gifts to children at this season).
# Honor the new solar year with light. Do a Solstice Eve ritual in which you meditate in darkness and then welcome the birth of the sun by lighting candles and singing chants and Pagan carols. If you have a indoor fireplace or an outdoor fire circle, burn an oak log as a Yule log and save a bit to start next year's fire. Decorate the inside and/or outside of your home with electric colored lights. Because of the popularity of five pointed stars as holiday symbols, this is a good time to display a pentagram of blue or white lights.
# Contribute to the manifestation of more wellness on Planet Earth. Donate food and clothing to poor in your area. Volunteer time at a social service agency. Put up bird feeders and keep them filled throughout the winter to supplement the diets of wild birds. Donate funds and items to non-profit groups, such as Pagan/Wiccan churches and environmental organizations. Meditate for world peace. Work magic for a healthier planet. Make a pledge to do some form of good works in the new solar year.
Reply:Go to Alaska. You'll be in darkness for 24 hours straight, but they have a lot of parties to celebrate this, I am sure there will be kid-friendly parties as well. Also, you should see the Northern Lights.
Reply:I have a few ideas.

Separation of C & S: Good or Bad?
For about 225 eyars, America has move back and forth between periods of Religious Politics, and Humanist/Socialist Politics. Which is better for America?
Separation of C %26amp; S: Good or Bad?
The founding fathers wanted seperation of church and state, not seperation of God and government.
Reply:Separate the church from the state. I will not want to witness the Burning times again. It was horrible enough the first time around.
Reply:No religion.
Reply:you do need to keep it all separate. Religion is what causes most of the wars, so you don't need this taught in the schools were there will be internal struggles about what point of view to teach and arguments about what religion was taught more
Reply:Separation of church and state is absolutely necessary for our society to continue to uphold the freedom of religion.
Reply:Neither. We need a move toward individual "politics" and a drastic decrease in government across the board.
Reply:If this country doesn't practice separation of Church and State...we might as well change our name to "Iraq".
Reply:Separation of church and state was to protect church (ie. freedom of religion) from state.
And as for kurlylovescheese, we're doing a good enough job of going backwards on our own.
Reply:The auspices of religion ought never taint the halls of government.
History shows irrefutably that organized religion cannot be trusted to equitably master the demands of political authority.
IF we were to move towards a Christian government (Christianity is internally communist and externally socialist, doesn't have a death penalty, is characterized by its adherents attending the welfare of the less fortunate, etc.), THEN we could perhaps argue in favor of such a government.
However, it should be quite obvious to everyone reading this that such a government will never happen in the USA, because the "haves and the have mores" will never distribute their wealth among the "have nots" -- and, for what it's worth, the "have nots" will never have the aptitude, education or opportunity to be stewards of much more than they already have.
"Humanist/Socialist Politics" is for any nation VERY MUCH LESS BAD than "Religious Politics."
Reply:I agree with Beach Bum-he should get 10 points
Reply:finding peace is better....i dont think America should shift to religion because its just going to fall apart because of all those different groups.....America should focus on Peace and fairness and Justice
Reply:The term "separation of church and state" appears nowhere in either the Constitution of the United States, nor in the Declaration of Independence. The first amendment says that Congress may not make any law concerning the establishment of religion, or the free exercise of religion. The freedom to practice my religion is right up there with my freedom of speech.
The term "separation of church and state" actually first appeared in a letter from Benjamin Franklin to a religious group of people who were concerned that America not designate a "state religion". He pointed out that the first amendment protected against any such thing, coining the phrase "separation of church and state" as a way of saying the church was protected from interference from the state by the first amendment.
Just like they do with the contents of the Bible, people have taken this phrase out of context and twisted it to mean something that was never intended.
Reply:whenever the religious nuts take over we go backwards as a people.
Reply:Whichever the voters choose at the time.
Reply:Separation of Church and State
In 1773, the Rev. Isaac Backus , the most prominent Baptist minister in New England, observed that when "church and state are separate, the effects are happy, and they do not at all interfere with each other: but where they have been confounded together, no tongue nor pen can fully describe the mischiefs that have ensued."
One of the most ironic aspects of the current assault on separation of church and state is that the apostles of religious correctness have managed to obscure the broad and tolerant origins of the godless Constitution, which was written and ratified by a coalition of Enlightenment rationalists and evangelical Christians denominations equally fearful of entanglements between religion and government.
Arthur Schlesinger Jr., published in the Los Angeles Times, October 24, 2004: The founding fathers did not mention God in the Constitution, and the faithful often regarded our early presidents as insufficiently pious. George Washington was a nominal Anglican who rarely stayed for Communion. John Adams was a Unitarian, which Trinitarians abhorred as heresy. Thomas Jefferson, denounced as an atheist, was actually a deist who detested organized religion and who produced an expurgated version of the New Testament with the miracles eliminated. Jefferson and James Madison, a nominal Episcopalian, were the architects of the Virginia Statute of Religious Freedom. James Monroe was another Virginia Episcopalian. John Quincy Adams was another Massachusetts Unitarian.
The Godless Constitution
The word "God" does not appear within the text of the Constitution of the United States. After spending three-and-a-half months debating and negotiating about what should go into the document that would govern the land, the framers drafted a constitution that is secular. The U.S. Constitution is often confused with the Declaration of Independence, and it's important to understand the difference.
The Declaration of Independence is seen as that document that established the new nation of the United States. It was written by Thomas Jefferson in 1776. It was signed by the Continental Congress and sent to King George III of England. It is a very eloquent document that is celebrated every July 4, but it is not the law of the land. It is a statement of sentiments directed to King George III in reaction to unfair taxation. The U.S. Constitution was ratified on March 4, 1789 -- thirteen years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
The Declaration of Independence refers to "the Creator:"
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
The Declaration of Independence is not a legal document; it is not the U.S. Constitution. Foes of the principle of separation of church and state often refer to the word "Creator" in the Declaration of Independence as proof that the framers of the U.S. Constitution intended for the United States to be ruled by a soveriegn being. Nothing could be further from the truth. The United States Constitution was written and ratified by elected officials representing a coalition of Enlightenment rationalists and evangelical Christians who were deeply concerned about entanglements between religion and government.
From Legacy Of Freedom by Rob Boston, Church and State, January, 2003. "Jefferson, Madison And The Nation's Founders Left Us Church-State Separation. Can We Keep It?"
What the Religious Right doesn't tell people, and what, tragically, many Americans apparently don't know, is that when it comes to determining what the laws of the United States mean, the only document that matters is the Constitution. The Constitution, a completely secular document, contains no references to God, Jesus or Christianity. It says absolutely nothing about the United States being officially Christian. The Religious Right's constant appeals to documents like the Declaration of Independence, which contains a deistic reference to "the Creator," cloud the issue and make some people believe their rights spring from these other documents.
The Godless Constitution was written by two professors of government and history at Cornell University. Isaac Kramnick and R. Laurence Moore have spent their careers studying religion in American life. Some quotes from their book:
The preamble of the Constitution invokes the people of the United States. It does not invoke any sort of God
The Constitution forbids any religious test to hold office. A godless person is just as eligible as a godly one! (Article 6, Paragraph 3)
At the Constitutional Convention of 1787, Benjamin Franklin strongly suggested on June 28 that the convention have prayers said there. Evangelists take this as proof that the convention then went on with prayers. But, in fact, the convention did not accept the suggestion, and the convention went on without prayers.
The Tripoli Treaty of 1797 between the US and the Barbary States, unanimously approved by the US Senate on June 10, 1797, specifically states that the US is NOT a Christian nation. At that time, the US government was still dominated by those who are referred to today as the "Founding Fathers". ARTICLE 11:
Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun in the Lee v. Weisman ruling, 1992: "When the government puts its imprimatur on a particular religion it conveys a message of exclusion to all those who do not adhere to the favored beliefs. A government cannot be premised on the belief that all persons are created equal when it asserts that God prefers some." more

Kennedy September 12, 1960, address to the Greater Houston Ministerial Association: I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute--where no Catholic prelate would tell the President (should he be Catholic) how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to vote--where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference--and where no man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from the President who might appoint him or the people who might elect him.
Americans United for a Separation of Church and State:
"It is true that the literal phrase 'separation of church and state' does not appear in the Constitution, but that does not mean the concept isn't there. The First Amendment says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...."
What does that mean? A little history is helpful: In an 1802 letter to the Danbury (Conn.) Baptist Association, Thomas Jefferson, then president, declared that the American people through the First Amendment had erected a "wall of separation between church and state." (Colonial religious liberty pioneer Roger Williams used a similar phrase 150 years earlier.)
Jefferson, however, was not the only leading figure of the post-revolutionary period to use the term separation. James Madison, considered to be the Father of the Constitution, said in an 1819 letter, "[T]he number, the industry and the morality of the priesthood, and the devotion of the people have been manifestly increased by the total separation of the church and state." In an earlier, undated essay (probably early 1800s), Madison wrote, "Strongly guarded...is the separation between religion and government in the Constitution of the United States."
As eminent church-state scholar Leo Pfeffer notes in his book, Church, State and Freedom, "It is true, of course, that the phrase 'separation of church and state' does not appear in the Constitution. But it was inevitable that some convenient term should come into existence to verbalize a principle so clearly and widely held by the American people....[T]he right to a fair trial is generally accepted to be a constitutional principle; yet the term 'fair trial' is not found in the Constitution. To bring the point even closer home, who would deny that 'religious liberty' is a constitutional principle? Yet that phrase too is not in the Constitution. The universal acceptance which all these terms, including 'separation of church and state,' have received in America would seem to confirm rather than disparage their reality as basic American democratic principles."
Thus, it is entirely appropriate to speak of the "constitutional principle of church-state separation" since that phrase summarizes what the First Amendment's religion clauses do-they separate church and state.
Religious Right activists have tried for decades to make light of Jefferson's "wall of separation" response to the Danbury Baptists, attempting to dismiss it as a hastily written note designed to win the favor of a political constituency. But a glance at the history surrounding the letter shows they are simply wrong.
As church-state scholar Pfeffer points out, Jefferson clearly saw the letter as an opportunity to make a major pronouncement on church and state. Before sending the missive, Jefferson had it reviewed by Levi Lincoln, his attorney general. Jefferson told Lincoln he viewed the response as a way of "sowing useful truths and principles among the people, which might germinate and become rooted among their political tenets."
At the time he wrote the letter, Jefferson was under fire from conservative religious elements who hated his strong stand for full religious liberty. Jefferson saw his response to the Danbury Baptists as an opportunity to clear up his views on church and state. Far from being a mere courtesy, the letter represented a summary of Jefferson's thinking on the purpose and effect of the First Amendment's religion clauses.
Jefferson's Danbury letter has been cited favorably by the Supreme Court many times. In its 1879 Reynolds v. U.S. decision the high court said Jefferson's observations "may be accepted almost as an authoritative declaration of the scope and effect of the [First] Amendment." In the court's 1947 Everson v. Board of Education decision, Justice Hugo Black wrote, "In the words of Jefferson, the clause against establishment of religion by law was intended to erect 'a wall of separation between church and state.'" It is only in recent times that separation has come under attack by judges in the federal court system who oppose separation of church and state."

"The constitutional principle of separation of church and state has given Americans more religious freedom than any people in world history. Around the globe, those suffering under the heavy heel of government-sponsored religious oppression look to America's church-state model with longing. The "wall of separation between church and state" is America's bulwark of true religious liberty."

Separation of C %26amp; S: Good or Bad?
The founding fathers wanted seperation of church and state, not seperation of God and government.
Reply:Separate the church from the state. I will not want to witness the Burning times again. It was horrible enough the first time around.
Reply:No religion.
Reply:you do need to keep it all separate. Religion is what causes most of the wars, so you don't need this taught in the schools were there will be internal struggles about what point of view to teach and arguments about what religion was taught more
Reply:Separation of church and state is absolutely necessary for our society to continue to uphold the freedom of religion.
Reply:Neither. We need a move toward individual "politics" and a drastic decrease in government across the board.
Reply:If this country doesn't practice separation of Church and State...we might as well change our name to "Iraq".
Reply:Separation of church and state was to protect church (ie. freedom of religion) from state.
And as for kurlylovescheese, we're doing a good enough job of going backwards on our own.
Reply:The auspices of religion ought never taint the halls of government.
History shows irrefutably that organized religion cannot be trusted to equitably master the demands of political authority.
IF we were to move towards a Christian government (Christianity is internally communist and externally socialist, doesn't have a death penalty, is characterized by its adherents attending the welfare of the less fortunate, etc.), THEN we could perhaps argue in favor of such a government.
However, it should be quite obvious to everyone reading this that such a government will never happen in the USA, because the "haves and the have mores" will never distribute their wealth among the "have nots" -- and, for what it's worth, the "have nots" will never have the aptitude, education or opportunity to be stewards of much more than they already have.
"Humanist/Socialist Politics" is for any nation VERY MUCH LESS BAD than "Religious Politics."
Reply:I agree with Beach Bum-he should get 10 points
Reply:finding peace is better....i dont think America should shift to religion because its just going to fall apart because of all those different groups.....America should focus on Peace and fairness and Justice
Reply:The term "separation of church and state" appears nowhere in either the Constitution of the United States, nor in the Declaration of Independence. The first amendment says that Congress may not make any law concerning the establishment of religion, or the free exercise of religion. The freedom to practice my religion is right up there with my freedom of speech.
The term "separation of church and state" actually first appeared in a letter from Benjamin Franklin to a religious group of people who were concerned that America not designate a "state religion". He pointed out that the first amendment protected against any such thing, coining the phrase "separation of church and state" as a way of saying the church was protected from interference from the state by the first amendment.
Just like they do with the contents of the Bible, people have taken this phrase out of context and twisted it to mean something that was never intended.
Reply:whenever the religious nuts take over we go backwards as a people.
Reply:Whichever the voters choose at the time.
Reply:Separation of Church and State
In 1773, the Rev. Isaac Backus , the most prominent Baptist minister in New England, observed that when "church and state are separate, the effects are happy, and they do not at all interfere with each other: but where they have been confounded together, no tongue nor pen can fully describe the mischiefs that have ensued."
One of the most ironic aspects of the current assault on separation of church and state is that the apostles of religious correctness have managed to obscure the broad and tolerant origins of the godless Constitution, which was written and ratified by a coalition of Enlightenment rationalists and evangelical Christians denominations equally fearful of entanglements between religion and government.
Arthur Schlesinger Jr., published in the Los Angeles Times, October 24, 2004: The founding fathers did not mention God in the Constitution, and the faithful often regarded our early presidents as insufficiently pious. George Washington was a nominal Anglican who rarely stayed for Communion. John Adams was a Unitarian, which Trinitarians abhorred as heresy. Thomas Jefferson, denounced as an atheist, was actually a deist who detested organized religion and who produced an expurgated version of the New Testament with the miracles eliminated. Jefferson and James Madison, a nominal Episcopalian, were the architects of the Virginia Statute of Religious Freedom. James Monroe was another Virginia Episcopalian. John Quincy Adams was another Massachusetts Unitarian.
The Godless Constitution
The word "God" does not appear within the text of the Constitution of the United States. After spending three-and-a-half months debating and negotiating about what should go into the document that would govern the land, the framers drafted a constitution that is secular. The U.S. Constitution is often confused with the Declaration of Independence, and it's important to understand the difference.
The Declaration of Independence is seen as that document that established the new nation of the United States. It was written by Thomas Jefferson in 1776. It was signed by the Continental Congress and sent to King George III of England. It is a very eloquent document that is celebrated every July 4, but it is not the law of the land. It is a statement of sentiments directed to King George III in reaction to unfair taxation. The U.S. Constitution was ratified on March 4, 1789 -- thirteen years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
The Declaration of Independence refers to "the Creator:"
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
The Declaration of Independence is not a legal document; it is not the U.S. Constitution. Foes of the principle of separation of church and state often refer to the word "Creator" in the Declaration of Independence as proof that the framers of the U.S. Constitution intended for the United States to be ruled by a soveriegn being. Nothing could be further from the truth. The United States Constitution was written and ratified by elected officials representing a coalition of Enlightenment rationalists and evangelical Christians who were deeply concerned about entanglements between religion and government.
From Legacy Of Freedom by Rob Boston, Church and State, January, 2003. "Jefferson, Madison And The Nation's Founders Left Us Church-State Separation. Can We Keep It?"
What the Religious Right doesn't tell people, and what, tragically, many Americans apparently don't know, is that when it comes to determining what the laws of the United States mean, the only document that matters is the Constitution. The Constitution, a completely secular document, contains no references to God, Jesus or Christianity. It says absolutely nothing about the United States being officially Christian. The Religious Right's constant appeals to documents like the Declaration of Independence, which contains a deistic reference to "the Creator," cloud the issue and make some people believe their rights spring from these other documents.
The Godless Constitution was written by two professors of government and history at Cornell University. Isaac Kramnick and R. Laurence Moore have spent their careers studying religion in American life. Some quotes from their book:
The preamble of the Constitution invokes the people of the United States. It does not invoke any sort of God
The Constitution forbids any religious test to hold office. A godless person is just as eligible as a godly one! (Article 6, Paragraph 3)
At the Constitutional Convention of 1787, Benjamin Franklin strongly suggested on June 28 that the convention have prayers said there. Evangelists take this as proof that the convention then went on with prayers. But, in fact, the convention did not accept the suggestion, and the convention went on without prayers.
The Tripoli Treaty of 1797 between the US and the Barbary States, unanimously approved by the US Senate on June 10, 1797, specifically states that the US is NOT a Christian nation. At that time, the US government was still dominated by those who are referred to today as the "Founding Fathers". ARTICLE 11:
Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun in the Lee v. Weisman ruling, 1992: "When the government puts its imprimatur on a particular religion it conveys a message of exclusion to all those who do not adhere to the favored beliefs. A government cannot be premised on the belief that all persons are created equal when it asserts that God prefers some." more
