  She prayed for me.... and I spent the afternoon puking my guts out

  by Scully in

  i recently did a favour for one of my co-workers by exchanging a shift with her so she could have a day off when she needed it for a family event.. we worked together last night, and she was so excited about the family event that happened a couple of days ago - she really appreciated being able to go.

  so this morning, at the end of our shift, she tells me that she is going to church before she goes home to sleep, and she is going to pray for me to have many good things from god for doing this favour for her.. i'm flattered that she thinks it was such a big deal, but i told her "no really, that is not necessary... you really don't have to pray for me!

  " she was insistent!!

  Does the Issue of Universal Sovereignty make sense to you as an explanation for evil?

  by gubberningbody in

  it used to for me, and now it doesn't.. i'm not sure how i was able to accept that argument now that i don't, but perhaps it was connected with my increasing compassion for people and their personal suffering as i've grown older.. now it seems like a sick excuse.

  more like a bar-bet with satan and all of creation suffers.. i read paul's words and he has no rejoiner except to say in effect "sucks to be a vessel of wrath...glad i'm not one, but who are you to complain anyway, huh?

  who's bigger, smarter and more powerful than you, you, you complaining vessel of wrath, you.

  The cool thing about chemical castration is that, if new evidence arises and the person was actually innocent, they can just stop taking the meds and there is, in theory, no permanant harm.

  My question is, will this actually fix the problem? Is it a sex drive thing, or is it a mental disorder that's still gonna be there even if they have no labido? I have no idea, so I guess I'm glad they're doing this in Russia so we can learn from their experiments.

  Personally, I think people who are aware of pedophile activity and do not report it should face the same fate. Are they not just as guilty?

  They are guilty. . . I wouldn't say JUST AS guilty. Also this castration punishment isn't just there to punish people, it's intended to fix the problem, or at least reduce the pedophiles desire to reoffend.

  Chemically castrating a theif would not do any good.
  Chemically castrating a drug dealer would not do any good.
  And of course chemically castrating people in authority who don't do the morally right thing by reporting pedophiles wouldn't do any good at all. . .

  Do I believe what?

  That after the earthquake in Chile a group of witnesses got together and helped their fellow witnesses rebuild? Yeah I believe that.

  Do I believe that some random persons grandfather saw this and thought it was cool so he asked if they'd study with him? Yeah I believe that too.

  I'm not sure what's difficult to believe about this.

  Is a child up for adoption supposed to promise love & respect to the potential father?

  by discreetslave in

  tuesday, october 4. offer your very selves to him: a living sacrifice, dedicated and fit for his acceptance.rom.

  12:1, the new english bible.. before someone who is alienated from god can become a member of gods family of approved servants, he first needs to make a solemn promise to jehovah.

  to understand why, imagine a respectable father who shows kind interest in an orphaned youth and wishes to adopt him as a member of his own family.

  Adopting a child is a responsibility an adult takes on for the benefit of the child. . . not the other way around.

  That is, the operation of female desire is poorly matched to their most effective reproductive strategy – they’re too easily pulled into casual sex and behaviors they can fool themselves aren’t pure hedonism.

  Derrrrrrrrrrr. . . . what?

  My reading comprehension is crap today, but I'm pretty sure this sentence doesn't make sense.
