If god only lets in those who follow him then there cant be many compared to everyone who has every lived. Christianity has only been around for 2000 years. Most of the world is not christian and even of those that are, they cant agree on how god wants to be worshipped. There are over 38000 denomination. Granted, there are a fair few catholics, but even then how many follow his teachings to the letter and how many just say they are. Its like Man U fans. Millions claim to be loyal but only a small proportion go to the games.

Even though it only has 5 words in it, thou shall not kill, some people still try to twist it's meaning.

Is there nothing not open to interpretation in the bible?

... you call him Jesus, Jehovah or jim! If you cross yourself, confess, go to church, pray, celebrate your birthday or not. Why have we got all these customs. Does it matter?

No need to justify. Just "god" or "no god"

Physical? Mental? Requires bravery? etc. Give your reasons

.... in fact, with a population of 300 million, they get less medals per head than most other leading countries. At the last summer olympics they got 1 gold for approx every 8 million people. GB got 1 for approx every 3 million. Australia - 1 gold for every 1.5 million. Too many burgers perhaps?

... what bit is true. Creation in 7 days? Water to wine? 10 commandments? The resurrection? Any of it? How come you can pick and choose which bits to believe? Surely its either all true or all false.

Someone is wrong. Who is it, or are they all wrong?

If someone is right what would happen to the other lot when their final time comes. Are they destined to spend eternity as outcasts?

Now that the top 8 has been decided what's your predictions for the Grand Final.

Will it be a Saints v Leeds final again or can Hull KR, Huddersfield or anybody else get to Old Trafford instead?

I have tried a few things already, stretching, massage, a foot splint overnight, ice, but its not getting any better

The three 6 nations games over the weekend yielded 7 tries between them. The Rugby League world club challenge between Leeds and Manley had 9.

The ball is in play for an average 30-35 mins in a union match. The league equivalent is 50-55 mins.

How can anyone defend that?

Not much cash compared to the rest

and 3rd. How good his he? (I'm not a Villa fan either)

Make your predictions for the final league places and the Grand Final winners.

(Points go to who ever puts my team as champs.)

If all the ex-presidents were still alive, which one would you vote for. The question is open to non US citizens too.

Last thursday before I went to work I had a power cut. The whole area was off as far as I could tell.

When I came home that night it was back on, so I reset the time on my mains powered clock radio.

Friday morning the alarm went off but on putting on the TV I realised that it was 1/2 hour fast. I thought it must have been me that set it wrong so re-reset the time.

Saturday morning, the time was now 1 hour fast. I suspected that the power cut could have blown a circuit in the clock and it was gaining 1 hour every 24.

I bought a new clock radio on sunday, plugged it in and set the time

This morning this too was 1/2 hour fast.

I plugged the old clock in 3 hours ago in a different plug socket and re-set the new one to the same time.

They are both now 10 minutes fast.

Do I need to call in

a. An electrician

or

b. Agent Moulder from the X files

Any suggestions as to what is happening? Has anyone else in the Leeds area seen this?

Just been stuck for hours in my car and got thinking, is the world a better place with cars.

Traffic jams, pollution, cost of using them, accident rates, parking issues, the country gradually being tarmaced over

Does the extra freedom outweigh the downsides.

Whats the alternative if we dont have them.

After this weekends games, England v Samoa and Bradford v Wigan, anyone who saw both must agree that league is by far superior. The open, attacking, fast, athletic league version v the never get going, kick to death, pile on union rubbish.

I have read the answers to the previous questions on absolute zero but is there an opposite - Absolute maximum. Ok I know that it in theory its infinate but the total amount of matter and energy in the universe converted to heat must be the limiting factor. What is it?
