Do you have to go to church to be a Christian (or be Saved)?

luvmesumgod @luvmesumgod (78) • United States 25 May 09

I have heard so many people say just because I don't go to church doesn't mean I'm not a Christian. So why do we go to church? Going to church doesn't make you saved or make you a Christian. There are many people who go to church...

DerekNS74 In my opinion, going to church hurts your chances of "being saved". All organized religions are nothing more than accepted cults. I, personally, believe that there is a god, and that people coming together to celebrate their chosen book of lies...

How often do you skip the breakfast?

daliaj @daliaj (5674) • India 25 May 09

I do skip it once in 5 days, atleast 2 days in a week I won't have breakfast. I am lazy and get up late in the morning. Then, I have to cook lunch and get ready to work. So, I felt it is easy to save some time by skipping...

DerekNS74 I skip breakfast a lot. It's the wrong time of day to be eating if don't want to be fat. You have to understand that the crap they taught you in school is the reason America is full of morbidly obese people. You should not eat in the morning for at leat 2...

The Boy Next Door...Is Killing Animals!!!!

LilyoftheThorns @LilyoftheThorns (12918) • United States 24 May 09

Okay everyone! I learned something pretty upsetting recently...and I'd like to get some opinions. My neighbor boy (who I don't think is even a teenager yet) has a bb gun and is shooting quail around our houses. He is in a large...

DerekNS74 He will get sick of it. At least with him shooting squirrels, and birds, he is gaining the understanding that the BB gun is in fact deadly. It's the lesson a BB gun is supposed to teach. That a gun is not a toy. He is learning. I'd be willing to bet that 90%...

DerekNS74 I don't need to yet, but I fully expect to be contributing a porting of my paraents income in the next 5 years. My father is something of a jackass with money, and he will have pissed away their savings by then, I'm sure.

Do Things come in 3s

savypat @savypat (20216) • United States 22 May 09

Do you think bad things come in 3s? Or is this just an old wives tale. I hope they only come in 3s I don't want another one, 3 in one week is plenty. None of our situations is life threatening but they sure stirred up our lives....

Double check every doors before sleeping

mhethess @mhethess (379) • Philippines 22 May 09

Pitbulls Girls bestfriend or someone's worst nightmare?

sjvenden27 @sjvenden27 (1840) • United States 22 May 09

When most people see a Pitbull in someone's yard they tend to get scared; thinking that Pitbulls are some dangerous animal that should be ban or put to sleep. I could not believe my ears today... There was a Pitbull that was...

DerekNS74 So you are arguing that pitbulls aren't dangerous because this one ATTACKED the right person. I'm really not getting your logic on this one. I personally thing that the breed should be done away with. I'm not saying gas em all. I'm saying it should be illegal...

Which Would You Prefer? Being Rich or Being Happy?

candramawa @candramawa (114) • Indonesia 20 May 09

Hello every one! How's life.. I noticed that there are some people with different destiny. Some people are rich.. some others are not. Some people are happy.. some others are not.. How about you? Are you rich and happy? Which...

rich

DerekNS74 I'd rather be happy. You argue that money can in fact buy happiness, and maybe it can, but why not cut out the middle man and just go for the happiness? If money is so important to you, being rich would probably be a part of "happiness" for you.

"To get the job, it's who you know. To stay in the job, it's what you know"

DerekNS74 This reads like a chicken soup for the soul story (that is not a compliment). It's completely backward and wrong. Getting the job is in fact about what you know. Your resume has to sell you. Keeping the job is about who you know. I can't even begin to tell you...

Do you think that dogs should wear the leash when they go out?

youless @youless (112621) • Guangzhou, China 26 Apr 09

DerekNS74 In my opinion, they should be on a leash whenever they are not in their home. My dog is never allowed to run loose. And, no, it's not okay to let a dog run loose in the country. In my opinion, it's worse than letting them run loose in a city. In town, if you...
