Church Shopping

Amy @artemis432 (7474) • Abernathy, Texas 14 Aug 08

As some of you who read my posts may know, I've never been much of a church goer. I'm a good person and kind of naturally follow the Ten Commandments not to secure my place in heavan because that just how I happened to be. I'm...

martahandey Obama was a member of the Church of Christ, which are very very fundamentalist for the most part. Assemblies of God are very welcoming to new people... it's the fastest growing Protestant denomination in the world. They also have great children's programs!

Toughest Sport In The Olympics?

martahandey @martahandey (165) • United States 13 Aug 08

I was thinking about which sport would be the toughest physically and mentally... and I can't help but think those gymnasts are crazy!! They go through some of the most strenuous workouts ever... and put their bodies in...

martahandey Yeah those girls are truly risking their bodies out there!! Some of the things they do on the vault and uneven bars just amaze me!! I mean, if they have one misstep, they could really injure themselves!!

Candidates FIRST reaction to situation in Georgia is very revealing.

speakeasy @speakeasy (4171) • United States 10 Aug 08

When McCain and Obama were first told about Russia invading Georgia they had ver different responses. The statement from McCain was immediate and very clear - "Russia had crossed “an internationally recognized border into the...

martahandey If a president is not capable of making instant decisions in times of emergency, then what more is he than a figure head? Presidents have advisers so that they can strengthen weak points, but I think it's pretty important that a president be quick on his...

Hypothetical Question

babostwick @babostwick (2036) • United States 9 Aug 08

Say if baseball all of a sudden decided to add 2 more teams in the American League to complete the balance of 16 teams each, where would you see them going outside of obvious places like California or New York for example? One...

martahandey I appreciate that! I wish there were more sports topics here at mylot... It would be much easier to find something interesting to write on! I'm really surprised that there isn't a larger sports fan population, because they have discussions all over the place...

Do you think the world would be better without religion?

CrazCo @CrazCo (409) • Canada 9 Aug 08

I do. First of all less wars would have occurred. I mean just look at the Jews and Muslims in the Palestine/Israel land. Also we would have saved so much money that we use to build churches, mosques, give to the church, etc and we...

martahandey If you read back into history, you see that even when there weren't gods present, the people created them... to have some sort of security. I think it would be nearly impossible to think of a scenario where religion could ever be void from earth. Today we live...

Don't worry, I'm back with more Religion Blah blah blah!

kassdaw @kassdaw (591) • United States 8 Aug 08

Angels, heaven, god? It all seems to be a little childish. Imaginary creatures and a pretend place in the sky, and people call me crazy. Yes, I know if you believe that there is a god then you believe that there is a devil. What...

martahandey The hypocrites make it hard for me to remain a Christian, truthfully. But there are more good people than bad. It's hard to believe that when all over the news you see how horrible Christians are, but it's those simple and faithful people that prove there is...

Favre traded...will Rogers succeed in Green Bay?

kbjunior15 @kbjunior15 (1309) • United States 6 Aug 08

Tough question to answer. No one knows what he can do yet. Favre put him in a bad situation, though. Now every bad thing he does will have Packer fans complaining that they should have kept Favre...especially if Favre succeeds...

Has anyone else had a real-life Grey's Anatomy moment?

letsbakeacake @letsbakeacake (52) • Canada 4 Aug 08

I love Grey's Anatomy and my best friend and I watch the show religiously and are constantly comparing situations that happen in the show to situations that have or are happening to us in our lives. Can anyone relate to this?...
