4 Shades of Blue
I am a mother of 4 awesome boys and I have a fantastic husband. We all love the Lord, but we are sick of religion and all its trappings. I especially get angry when people hurt others in God's name. I consider myself friendly and I love to learn about other beliefs. Although I am rabidly conservative and traditional in my values, I try to remember there are so many different ways of looking at things and the world around me and I love meeting new people.
Could this man be charactarized as a "fundie" atheist with too much time on his hands?

Honestly, if God is such a non-issue to him, why spend so much time whining about it?
Opinions?

14 AnswersLaw Enforcement & Police1 decade agoIs tomorrow a special day for pagans?
If so, what is it? I've seen a few questions on R&S today asking what fellow pagans/wiccans have planned for tomorrow.
I'm a Christian and I ask this as a sincere question. I like hearing about different beliefs.
thanks!
6 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoHow did the practice of praying for the dead in the catholic church come about?
Who came up with this practice and why is it accepted even though God clearly forbids contacting spirits. Deut.18:11.?
I'm mainly curious about who brought this about. God certainly doesn't like it so one must wonder why they do it.

8 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhy do people who make the choice to have no children for environmental reasons....?
....have the unmitigated NERVE to lecture those of us who have had children? You are so sanctimonious and self-rightous. Just because a Communist country like China imposes a one child rule on their people has nothing to do with me! Just because you've made a choice how you wish to live your life doesn't mean the rest of us want to live that way.

2 AnswersOther - United States1 decade agoDid you know most people don't understand why Jesus was mad at the money changers?
It is a common misconception that when Jesus overturned the table of the money changers in the temple He was angry that they were selling sacrifices for profit. In fact, this is not the reason He was angry. If people took the time to understand how things were done in those days they would know that it was common practice to sell animals for the sacrifices that were made in the temple. Jesus didn't have a problem with that. He was angry because the area that the moneychangers were occupying was the only area of the temple that Gentiles were allowed to worship....Jesus wanted everyone to be able to enter the temple...not just Jews. This is another example of how Jesus loved EVERYONE, not just the Jews.

3 AnswersMental Health1 decade agowhy are catholics and believers mistakenly lumped in the same category?
as far as i can tell, praying to saints, purgatory, diefying the virgin mary, and seeking absolution from a priest, earning salvation are not mentioned anywhere in the Word of God. how do catholics account for the adding to and taking away from the Word of God? Correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding is that the words of a mere man (the Pope) are considered gospel and as infallibale as the Bible. How is this biblical?
My understanding of the Word of God is that we are saved by grace, and once saved, we need no mediator between ourselves and God. I never thought I had to earn my way to heaven, i just simply need to believe and accept Christ as my Savior. It just seems to me that many Catholic practices are pagan in nature and are even explicitly forbidden in God's Word.

11 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhat is the best cover makeup for tattoos?
I am going to be a bridesmaid in my best friend's wedding and I have a horse tattoo on my shoulder. While I LOVE my tattoo, I would really like to cover it so it won't show at all. the dress is halter style so half of my back will be showing. I'm not ever ashamed of my body art, but out of respect for my best friend, and the fact that her family has very conservative sensibilities, I'd just as soon not have it be an issue. If anyone out there has any ideas on the best product, I'd be greatly appreciative! Thanks! By the way, my tattoo is above my left shoulder blade and is about 6 inches in diameter.
6 AnswersTattoos1 decade agois there anyone out there who appreciates classic british comedy?
i can't stand anything on prime time or any popular shows for that matter. My husband and I live for saturday and sunday night britcoms that come on pbs. we've even rented a couple of seasons of Father Ted from netflix. i dont care how often i've seen an episode of red dwarf, Python, fawlty towers, blackadder, the young ones, absolutely fabulous, open all hours, the list goes on.... they are still hilarious. Even when american telvision producers try to copy something the brits have come up with it fails miserably...remember "coupling"? I've tried watching popular programs and i lose interest. they are just bad. not even funny. Anyone out there who has good taste in comedy? the brits have got us americans beat by a mile in terms of good television. i'm a proud american but in terms of being funny and original, they got us beat. Am I alone here?

I understand that if you work out soon after eating and have too many carbs you won't burn fat...just sugar. Is this true? I'm a little confused about how this works and what is the best time to eat in relation to exercise.
