i remember reading a story on the origin of catholic nuns but where or exact details escape me.

the story went that the nuns were originally inhabitants of the greek island of lesbos where the cult of sappho lived and that the catholic church recruited the cult into catholicism which is how they became all female since the cult consisted of lesbians

ive checked wikipedia and official catholic sites but nothing .as if the catholic sites would admit something like that!! LOL !

sound familiar to anyone?? thanks!!

please help me clarify a few things...

1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female,

provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine

claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify?

Why can’t I own Canadians?

2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus

21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her

period of Menstrual uncleanliness – Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how do I

tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a

pleasing odor for the Lord – Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They

claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2

clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill

him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?

6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an

abomination, Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I

don’t agree. Can you settle this? Are there ‘degrees’ of abomination?

7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a

defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my

vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?

8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around

their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How

should they die?

9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me

unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different

crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two

different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse

and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble

of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn’t we

just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people

who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

Does anyone know if this already exists and I can just download it somewhere?

Or perhaps you guys have some thought on how I would do this?

I've checked google and youtube. no luck.

i really do not know .if someone does please fill me in!

thanks and happy new year!

Hypothetically, I order comcast cable internet, and they come over, and see that there is pirated cable TV.

Hypothetically, what it the possible circumstances/consequences

note the pirated cable isn't their services.

So I have a video card. and it's a DVI

I have a monitor with an S Video (no DVI slot)

and the video card also has S Video.

can I just use S video, instead of having to buy an actual DVI monitor??

as in "i have faith that god is watching" but i think they should say "i assume god is watching"

because thats what they are doing,assuming that god is there.

so essentially having faith is assuming.

what do you all think?

then they will say "if your wrong your going to hell but if im wrong nothing happens to me"

why do they say those things??????

very frustrating!!!

Where can I find Snapple Apple in Houston, TX. Anyone know?

I really can't find it anywhere?

Apparently they have em in Los Angeles, New York, and New Jersey.

Please don't tell me it's unhealthy. I would ask about the health benefits about it if that were that case.

I just miss this drink so bad. If you don't know where to find it, please don't post here.

Would I get copyrighted for selling Magic the gathering T shirts on ebay?

I'm just wondering... a lot of people sell things on ebay, anyway... I have Magic the Gathering shirts I made, but they're not licensed by Wizards of the Coast (Magic the gathering) do you think I can get Copyrighted?

I had chicken pox for about a week now, I never scratched any on my face, but now they're all scabbed over. I recently 'rubbed' one of my face scabs and it sorta broke it. it didn't fall off, but it was kinda hanging on there. went to sleep, next morning it's OFF with a hole in the middle, chances are I did scratch it in my sleep, so will I be scarred? Or if I didn't scratch will I still be scarred if my scab just fell off?

also, since my scabs off. should I put anything on the mark? like an anti-scar cream or something...

I have a Airlink Powerline Turbo 85Mbps Ethernet Adapter APL8511 (not entirely sure on the code, but it probably doesn't even matter) and I was wondering, can I attach an ether net splitter to it? Well I know I can. but it will actually work?
