Hmm...Survey: Americans don't know much about religion...?
tell me your thoughts...
"A new survey of Americans' knowledge of religion found that atheists, agnostics, Jews and Mormons outperformed Protestants and Roman Catholics in answering questions about major religions, while many respondents could not correctly give the most basic tenets of their own faiths."
how can a country founded on christian tenets, raise up christians who know less about these tenets than the atheists & agnostics know about all religions? probably not all that important after all, probably not the faith on which america was founded either...
perhaps the ideals found in christianity as well as all other religions are more likely where america found its root. ya' know in those major themes they all have in common; kindness, caring, loving, acceptance, mindful, fair & just, forgiving, open & honest...or the most part you know those things which make good qualities in people...all people everywhere and i'm pretty sure we can agree on that, or there is so much much more of an issue and at play here than i figured...
peace out!!!

1 AnswerOther - Music1 decade agoWhat all do I need to install an overhead flip down DVD player in my suv?
I have a 2006 kia sorento with a single disc factory car stereo. I purchased an all on one overhead unit, a roof mounted flipdown LCD monitor with DVD player with onboard speakers It also comes equipt with both an ir transmitter and an fm transmitter as well as RCA out connectors.
I am well aware of my options thus far, without any additional connectors, adapters or equiptment that is, i can listen to the Audio through the on board speakers...yuck, total crap sound I imagine, I can throw on the 1 pair of wireless headphones I also purchased and listen all by my lonesome to whatever I happen to be watching, sure...but what about when there are three kids in the back all fighting over that one pair o' headphones, and as far as I know the only other option open to me, as of this moment, currently owned parts and peices, nothing more, would be to tO into the fm transmitter function; hiss, buzz, a whole bunch more static and the occassional cutting out of the total audio...ya know, no sound.
So what do I need to hook the overhead DVD unit to my car's current stereo system, so the audio will come out of the speakers already present in my car???
Is there an RCA adapter for the back of my in dash cd player?? Exactly what is it called, any and all alias', nicknames and/or industry references would be helpful and most appreciated...and wher might I find one of these, I already know of that Internet place, so like an actual address would make it all that much more easy. I hate aimlessly wandering in some parts of that place cuz I really don't know some areas and I could really get lost...which will always undoubtably sidetrack me, and I'll never find what you sent me out there to get in the first place.
So whatcha know? watcha got for me?? How you gonna ease my pain and rid me of this growing headache???
Don't, please don't send me off to fry's or best buy for an installation, i've been there and both places couldn't get me out of there for under $300.00, which I know is complete and utter upsale bulls**t because I didn't purchase the actual unit from them. If you have another suggestion as far as paying for the installation goes, that is reasonable and respectable I am however, happy to hear
it :)
thanx for all your help, advice, knowledge, and I'm sure there'll be at least one snide comment, so thanx for that too!!!
3 AnswersCar Audio1 decade agoFor all you theists and non-theists alike, riddle me this...?
Spiritually speaking, i know I am more apt to get answers here...angel food cake? no not even angel food - I lied - did I just sin there?
just cake, from the box, pillsbury moist supreme strawberry cake...so I am out of oil and already substituted butter, and now, my 3 eggs just became 2, god darnit!!! Oooh another sin? Can I still bake the damn thing? Is there something I should substitute for the one egg now oozing on my kitchen floor?? If so what??
And finally speaking of eggs, what came first; it, the chicken, the chickens ability to produce it, or the ability overall in every egg laying species through evolutionary processes; variation and adaption through natural selection?
But seriously the cake...what should I do??
12 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoHow do all you atheists do it...?
...care for really cheap wigs that is, spiritually speaking of course???
So my daughter love love loves Annie, needless to say we fell pray to her constant yet adorable pleas to "color her hair orange and put curls in it" only to the point of caving at a wig... wait, no costume shop that had among other cheap wares, horribly cheap wigs...so now i will attempt to at least make it wearable, without resetting the curl, how would I best go about this???
If you're unfamiliar with Annie...let's just say the wig is for the most part a shockingly orange not too tight afro, or better yet like every 80 yr olds helmut style do.
So any thoughts and/or worldly humanistic guidance, from those with at least some experience in the wig department is desperately needed asap!!!

9 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs1 decade agodo any christians out there believe in the possibility of time travel?
how does this not presuppose the mere idea of an omnipotent, omnipresent god?
would not a derivatinecessarysecary, and so too then would there not be a consummation?
Time travel is no longer regarded as strictly science fiction. ... They provide a quick path between two different locations in space and time. ... and emerge in the same place and time, but a different dimension. ... A notion that was once nothing more than science fiction, is now a concept that's becoming reality ...

13 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agowhy ask why...........?
if all we really want to know is how the next answer will better rile us up than the last answer?? why do we ask why??? do you live for that new e-mail signal? are you truly so lacking in a life that you live out your your triumphs and all your angers vicariously through yahoo! answers. virtual applause with those posting in support of your 'side' and clenched fists coupled with a quickened heartbeat at those vehemently opposed.
was it that you were never hugged as a child? or is it that your life is really that beige? perhaps maybe then it was, a cold and distant mother? um...khakis?
just curious...for me? a little bit o' both...
happily, mommy always hugged me and i've never owned a pair of khakis come to think of it...i've never owned a thing even close to the shade of whatever khaki considers itself nor beige for that matter...
...but
if you must know, my father...abusive and well i find myself missing the life i led prior to procreating (don't want or wish for it back, just get bored with the mommy/wife thing day in and day out)
so like i said, why ask why? for you? just curious?
