I regard this as a private forum. Just as any private property owner has every right to tell someone to leave their land, you have every right to ask anyone to leave this part of cyberspace, as it were. I apreciate not being booted for my former avatar. I don't expect that anyone will change...

Uh... http://www.snopes.com/glurge/57cents.htm The true story is even better (no offense).

Oh yeah, totally.

He needs some psychological help.

Me too... Ah, anyway...obviously, I'm still here...and I have not felt that my speech has been restricted (other than having to watch my potty mouth. ;))

Don't know if this is what you're looking for...but... Basically, they are not responsible for "offending" people as long as they don't break any laws. In other words, as long as they get the necessary fire permits, they can burn their own property (but if you take my copy of the PHB...not...

Just a point on the whole god thing... The Jews would claim that Christians do not worship the same god as they do...after all, their god has no son. Same thing as with the Muslims...they believe that the god they worship is the same god of Abraham as is worshiped by Jews and Christians. LS, do...

color v. colour. Same thing, varient spellings. Languages that do not use the Latin Alphabet must be approxamately translated. thus the ruler of Russia (prior to the revolution) was the Tsar, Tzar, Czar. Same title...but no direct word since it is written in cyrillic. Likewise, Jehovah...

Adel, I apologize. I was tired and I started writing something, and ended up saying something else. I did indeed rephrase my OP. Agreed. I was just saying that some sects of Judism (such as Hasidic) view this as not cutting the earlocks, which is why they have such long ones. Agreed...

IIRC, the prohibition on long hair comes from *ahem* Paul [sound of can of worms opening...].  Think about Sampson...was he shameful for not cutting his hair? Anyway, the whole prohibition on hair/beards comes from the practice of the surrounding tribes who worshipped other gods. Lev. 19:27 "...

Jesus calling for the law to stand & do good works: Matthew 5 Paul, seeming to say that the law is no longer needed Romans 6

Thank you Leo. "would you care to share Scripture on where Christ and Paul contradicted each other" *cough* the law *cough* (Jesus never said that the law was rescended after he died.)

nomizo. I looked it up in a Greek dictionary on-line. http://www.kypros.org/cgi-bin/lexicon "deem, opine" was what I came up with. Look, here's my problem. I don't have a copy of the Bible in the original greek lying around. Why do none of the Bibles translate it as "Joseph, son-in-law or...

20 pp leter = Acts.

Thanks to everybody who answered my questions. Leo, the discourse on Freemasonry was very interesting. Thanks. and...4top...I misstated something...the question should have been "perpetual virgin." You answered anyway, so...heh.

True. I do it all the time. OK...sure. Uh...no. If she works too, then no. Not at all. So in other words...you both work all day, and you see it as special if you make dinner every so often? Yeah...real impressive. Same with taking care of your kid. Those examples were bad. Sorry...
