    Can you help me sort this out??

    I know it will be hard, but please don't turn this into a thread about the war in Iraq. I went to the Holocaust Museum in Houston and they have a whole wing dedicated to Darfur. For some unknown reason, I have a special place in my heart for Africa... I always have. I was basically unaware of...

    Studying the Tanakh

    I am looking for books that will help me study specific books in the Tanakh. I have found several for the "Old Testament" but none for the Tanakh. I really want the Jewish perspective... So... what books do I need? Thank you so much.

    A question for Jewish parents...

    Hello! I am an ethnic Jew raised in the religion of my father. Ultimately, I concluded that that religion was an unhealthy one and left. I have decided to return to the faith of my mother and grandmother before her, however I know nothing of the faith and am therefore starting from the...

    School bus kissing incident... what do you think?

    In a Buffalo area school a 6-year-old girl kissed a second-grade boy several times on the morning bus ride to school. It was described as "innocent and childlike." The boy also kissed the girl and they were seen whispering in eachother's ears. The girl was suspended for 3 days. To the best...

    Hi...

    I just wanted to come in here, now that I can, and say hi. I was part of this group about 2.5 years ago and since heading over to the NCO side I've really missed you guys. I'd love to come by for a chat now and again if you don't mind. :wave:

    Pagans... please help. :)

    My sister wants books about paganism, but not Wicca, and she isn't sure which authors she can trust. Could you please tell me what books to recommend to her? Thanks.

    Buddhism or Taoism

    What is the fundamental difference(s) between Buddhism and Taoism? It seems like one is a focus on what where we come from and where we want to go (the life force of the universe, harmonizing with said life force, etc.) and the other is an understanding of how to do do that (the Four Noble...

    If you can tell me what song this is you are the coolest person EVER!!!

    I'm trying to find a song I used to like. It's Newsboys-ish, but I don't know if it's them. I can't remember the lyrics, but here's what I know: There is something about a dogsled team in the beginning and the chorus talks about navigational things. They used to play it on secular stations...

    The Cambrian Explosion

    I'm reading about the Cambrian Explosion but I'm having a difficult time making sense of it. I don't doubt evolutionary theory from that point to now, but I can't find anything connecting the pre-Cambrian species to the Cambrian species. Could someone please explain this?

    Food for Thought...

    I am reading a book titled The Big Questions: Philosophy for Everyone by Nils Ch. Rauhut. It is essentially a beginners Philosophy class in seven chapters. It has sections called 'Food for Thought', which are just questions designed to make you think. I am only in chapter one so the questions...

    I don't know where to put this thread.....

    Sorry, but I have no idea where to put this thread so I'm just going to put it here. I was reading the Church history of a local UU that I want to visit. They bought a building that previously housed an Episcopalian church. This is what they wrote that I wanted to ask about: My question-...

    Abortion: The grey area....

    I've read through various abortion threads here and I've noticed a trend that I find disturbingly contradictory. Most people who have commented that they are against abortion say it is because "life starts at conception" or "God breathed life into that fetus" or some variation thereof. However...

    Looking for people in Columbus & Cincinnati....

    Hello all. My husband might be taking a job that enables us to move where ever we want in about 1 year. We are thinking Columbus or Cincinnati. I was hoping to talk to some people who live in those areas for 2 reasons.... One is so I can find out more about the cities and the other is so I...

    Unitarian Universalist....

    After the death of my husbands father, Brian and I were discussing religion. He is a Christian in the same way that if an elephant were born in a tree, it's a bird. Meaning, he claims Christianity, but I would tend to see him as a bit more Deist. Anyway, we were up north at the funeral when my...

    Michael Allen Smith, my father-in-law

    I just wanted to take a minute to say goodbye to my father-in-law, Michael Allen Smith, who was taken from us by a gunman on April 13th. He was a good man and it doesn't seem fair to me that only his family and friends are mourning him, as the entire world should be. That being said, I would...

    Toning up...

    YAY ME! I reached my goal weight. I am now in pants that are a size smaller than what I wore when I got married. I'm so happy.... However, I'm still a bit squishy. I need to tone up, but I can't get a gym membership or a bunch of equipment. Any thoughts?? Thanks

    Goodbye, guys...

    Well, I think I need to say goodbye. I've enjoyed my time here, but the more I study the more I think that my sister was right and my returning to church was nothing but my old ways sneaking up on me. I've made a few friends here that I certainly hope I'll get to keep, but in order to be...
