I have been married for 23 years. For the most part, I have a loving relationship. Sure, we have our own interests and our little quibbles with each other and all that but come on, 23 years we put up with each other....

MikeMe Given that you've been together 23 years, it's safe to assume he has this info and knows better. THAT makes it even more important he apologize and NOT say "it's no big deal". It may not be a big deal to him if you call him and idiot, but its a big deal for...

Why do we hold God, if He exists, responsible for suffering? Why do we assume that a just God would keep things like 9/11 from happening? Are we right to expect Him to protect us from evil, to NOT allow suffering? What have we...

MikeMe I can hear what YOU are thinking.."Just shut up, dude!!"....:) I think you have a great attitude. So many people want to ignore God all the time, especially when times are good, yet want to blame Him after they've screwed up their own lives. I don't...

MikeMe That's true, what you say. The great thing about God is, He comforts us in our troubles, even though we ignore Him during the good times. How many humans can we say that about?

MikeMe Actually, after the Flood, God simply said he would never destroy the earth by flood again. He continued to intervene when He chose and still does. We want freewill, but when things go badly, we blame God. How narcissistic is that? Thanks for responding.

What did the apostle Paul have against women? His attitude towards females is quite different from that of Jesus, in fact from the other apostles as well. Why do you think this is so?

MikeMe That's just silly. Almost no one challenges the existence of Jesus. Virtually every scholar admits that he was a real person. The big tic is whether or not he claimed to be God or was, in fact, God. Can you "prove" Cleopatra ever lived? Nope...but everyone...

Do we come into this world more with the capacity for being good people, or for being bad? OR, do we tend to be basically good with some bad qualities. Maybe we are born with a tendency to do evil, but some good overcomes...

MikeMe But, in my opinion, respect is for sissies....see where I'm going with that? I can justify anything I want by saying, "In my opinion....." I DO respect everyone's opinion, to a point.

If you are a christian, you believe the Bible to be true, right? Now I know some Christians take the Bible literally, others don't. Since there appears so little proof of much that's written there, outside the Bible itself, why do...

MikeMe Well, there is only ONE definition of Christian and that is "one who follows Christ". People have tried to lasso that term to make it mean what they want it to mean, but there is but one true definition.

MikeMe That's an interesting concept, that bad or good was made up by people so that everyone would behave. Unfortunately, the deck of evidence is stacked WAY against that!

MikeMe And I say, that's a pretty flimsily excuse for us to act like pigs! We have to make right decisions and not keep blaming our bad ones on "society" and "our environment"...
