Frankly, Marcie, you're the type person I was talking about. Really? I hadn't guessed. I do agree with you on lots of points that you made, actually. I think that with NCLB and such and the expectation that ALL students will be "proficient" that we lose alot of the teaching of skills of finding and discerning information. And today,

Or you can resign yourself to your laziness and call yourself "a feeler". That's sad to me. It isn't because of some genetic inclination, rather it is just a way to justify not NEEDING to be informed. lol...you are EXACTLY what I was talking about. Someone who lacks the interpersonal skills to make all

I guess I value well-rounded intelligence. For example, during my father's illness, we had the pleasure, or displeasure, of working with very skilled physicians. I mean, these were people that could one day cure the disease that took my father's life, they're so smart. But there were a few that had absolutely no idea how to talk with a patient's family. We were so obviously stupid because we weren't doctors ourselves. We also had some do

This would make more sense if it were only in the bedroom. But you totally dominate her everywhere, correct? Do you punish her? Sure you do. It is THEIR choice to participate in these activities. When you begin a relationship with someone, don't you kind of set up "ground rules"? You do this, I'll do

Literature is full of descriptions of hell, but few tales of heaven. I like to think that there's not a lot out there about it because it's indescribable. But I don't know if that's reality or not.

I've thought about working in a hospice as like a social worker. I've got the experience. I know what grief is about. I can imagine the gammut of emotions a terminally ill patient might be dealing with. But then...I don't know if I could do it. Gosh...you'd just get so attached. Someone would remind me of my dad, or a kind old man with a willing smile would remind me of my grandfather. And then I'd lose it. And if you're a professional,

Ahh, yes. I'm running into that myself, actually. I'm having problems with some things I did earlier in my life...it's nothing horrible; I didn't kill anyone and I didn't steal anything...now that I've changed the way I do things and the way I look at things it's killing me to accept the things I DID do way back when. I can't

Hmmm...my cousin is a murderer. But he's also a Christian. I know I'll be happy to see him in heaven. My uncle stole $14,000,000 dollars from his employer and is in prison. I'll be happy to see him in heaven. I don't think that what other people do or don't do negates what *I'm* doing. Does that make sense? If I'm Christian, and I truly want EVERYONE to be Christian, I don't where when and where that conversion takes place, as long as it

They're called 'righteous gentiles' and I'm very honored to have been called one. I believe that if you live a mindful life - meaning that you go through life without deliberately harming anyone, without taking that which does not belong to you and refraining from deception - and that you do good not only when the opport

Judaism doesn't "share" the first five books. Judaism is based on the laws of the Torah, the five books of Moses, which (supposedly) was dictated to Moses by God. Christians took the word of God (the Torah), renamed it the Old Testament, and in effect, modified the word of God to create their new religion. <

Sushi, that was out of line. She is responding in the way she sees fit. She is staying on topic and not calling anyone (except maybe herself ) names. She is welcome here on my blog. Thanks, Jill. I appreciate your letting me be a guest here!

Ben in a sense I do agree with you as we cannot use Joseph to link him to David. Joseph was not his biological father. But someone was telling me that they found that Mary was (I'm not saying this is factual). Has anyone checked into this? Mary was a descendant of David as well.

I read the Christian Bible, the original (German) Luther translation too, and the Qur'an as well (in English). I found that this was too important not to be done, even though I might have little time for it. How can I talk about other people's religions without a minimum effort to, of not understand, at least learn about them?</T

What if you got that response from someone who denounced Jesus without ever taking a look at the bible? I believe what I believe, Jill. I had a choice, and so does every one else. Leauki took it upon himself to call me narrow-minded and say that God's not a nitpicker...well...hmmmm... I sure

Weren't we all supposedly created in God's likeness? So that wouldn't really narrow down what he looked like would it. Exactly my point. We all look like God. So if you jumble us all together...there you have it.

Um, there is a difference between leading a moral life and believing that you lead a moral life. I don't think anyone is going to argue that Hitler was a moral man. I think you'd be surprised at how many people thought at the time that Hitler was moral, and how many people STILL think he was a moral man

Nothing to do with what I said. I was talking about learning about other religions before you make statements about them. You don't have to believe in Judaism to know what it is. And you don't have to believe that Muhammed is a prophet to know what he said. Yes, Yoda. I'll make sure I plug time into my

and living a moral, ethical life is the key to heaven I respectfully disagree. I can be Hitler and say "I'm going to heaven because what I did is moral and ethical," while the other billions of people out there know that's not so at all. Hitler probably believed what he was doing was right at the time

The Jewish religion specifically says that non-Jews can go to heaven (or new earth or whatever you want to call it) if they are good people. The laws of the Bible apply only to Jews. A Jew has to follow them to go to heaven, a non-Jew does not. Islam believes that Christians and Jews will go to heaven as well as Muslims,
