Politics, News & Issues > Politics, News & Issues (Other) Do people tend to base election votes more on emotion or reason?: 12 of 69
I think that most people, but especially us women, tend to vote for a candidate based on emotion. If we have no choice (the President has served out his whole term), we vote for whoever we feel has the best record, the least skeletons in his closet, or, especially in this election, the gender we want to ascend to the proverbi...

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Putting God first in your life: 23 of 114
As the family of God, I believe the most important thing for us to do is to learn that we are all one body, though different parts. We learn at different speeds, we all have different functions and talents. We are one church. We are not this denomination and that denomination, we are ONE church- the body of our Lord Jesus Chr...

Religion & Spirituality > Christianity (Other) Did Judas Iscariot go to heaven or hell: 4 of 18
Judas Iscariot is most likely in hell. I say that because he had a choice in the matter. It's too easy to let him off the hook because he was Jesus disciple or because he was a fulfillment of prophesy (in Psalms it says ' he who ate bread with me has lifted up his heel against me'). Sin is never excusable, no matter how much ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Spiritual Insights Lessons sent in dreams: 15 of 26
This was a beautiful account. Few people really understand what it takes to "get into heaven". Only one thing is necessary- accepting the gift of salvation, offered through Yeshua's sacrifice for us. Everything else is window dressing-important, but window dressing, nonetheless.I know God to be the Creator- the ONE person in ... More..
Pets & Animals > Pet Ownership Which makes a better pet: A dog or a cat?: 102 of 150
I love all animals, especially cats and dogs. I love both equally but for different reasons. My principle reason being that cats are by nature (for the most part) entirely more independent animals. Give them food and water and a litter box and voila`- all set. With a dog, it's more complicated- they have to be walked, trimmed... More..
Sports & Recreation > Skiing Can you really learn to ski with online ski lessons?: 8 of 11

Although I have no personal experience, not knowing how to ski, I feel that it's more likely that you can learn mechanical technique of how to ski but not how to ski itself. Learning to ski without being physically involved is like considering yourself a champion biker because you read a book on how to ride one. You understan... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Could Christianity survive without the Bible?: 65 of 86
Christianity came into existence prior to there being a Bible, why wouldn't it be able to exist without it? The day will come when owning Bibles will be illegal and then what's going to happen? Christianity isn't about the Bible. It's not even about being an "organization". Christianity is about Christ- and following his exam... More..
Relationships & Family > Coping with Divorce How to survive an unwanted divorce: 30 of 30
The best way to survive an unwanted divorce is to be really honest with one's self. Few people walk into a marriage with the ultimate goal being divorced, unless they are just gluttons for punishment or have no moral compass at all. People get divorced, unfortunately, but for the most part, it occurs because they just gave up... More..
