    Problem with Teaching 'Religion' is Bad.

    they are probably just ex catholics, catholicism being the most religious form of Christianity, though people can and do find Jesus in it. However sometimes its like serving God and Mammon, having two masters for some....I wouldnt let it bother me though if I was secure in faith from an...

    How much wine is not to much?

    its like how chocolate comes in BITE size portions yet some people just want to eat the ENTIRE block or box to themselves. Do they not know what a serving is. I cant believe some people are unaware of what 'little' means, or maybe dont share food with their families. I dont know how they eat...

    Marriage...expensive or just the wedding?

    Never been to a backyard wedding, most peoples backyards are full of mud atm cos of the storm. Be interesting though, a wedding amongst the washing lines. You cant control the weather though, and its likely it will be windy, rainy, too sunny or combination of all three in one day.

    Stay at home or stay at work

    I worked with software engineers and techies who are very clever, but I don't think they get outside much. I only like automation up to a point.

    Can We All Find our Soulmate Somewhere In Between Dodging Zombies at Halloween and Fruitcake at Christmas?

    Bananas and prawns its easier to ship cocoa from Africa than south america? People just dont want to be responsible for deforesting the Amazon right? Except Amazon which clearly does.

    How much wine is not to much?

    well the Bible says 'a little wine' so, maybe those thimble size glasses they have at church? Otherwise, one glass or half seems like enough. Dont drink the whole bottle. leave some for others. I guess in the olden days when it was corked and you couldnt reseal it you had to drink the whole...

    Problem with Teaching 'Religion' is Bad.

    well yea not everyone grows up in church, and Jesus reaches out to everyone even if they do not go to one. Thats why evangelicals tried to distance themselves from religion, because Jesus is a light to gentiles (not just those who are 'the chosen' ones i.e jews) and they could be from any...

    How did the slaves come to believe in Jesus, become Christians?

    well yea cant you ever imagine life as a slave? Its painful and suffering to be owned and always told what to do and never have any say in your life. To be poor and always under somebodys thumb. To be judged on what you look like. Does Jesus say his burden is easy and his yoke is light. And...

    Speak Your Mind.

    I wonder if I can go for a whole month without speaking my mind, or writing it down on a forum. Is there a difference, and does God really care what I write or think? Doesnt' a fool speak all his/her mind, so are we just meant to keep our opinions to ourselves? Is this why some religious...

    Lounge Forum

    Paperback writer

    I finished reading Kitchens a 20th century history My head is now full of refrigerators, electric frypans and microwaves. If the historian had carried on her study, I guess she'd have to include air fryers. Most houses simply do not have the bench space to accomodate all these appliances...

    Paperback writer

    Sounds a bit like The Midnight Library Well no actually but the wormhole bit. In this one the protagonist, who is 'an average girl' goes into a library and chooses different lives from thousands of books and lives them for a while until she decides she doesn't like it and moves on to the next...
