Based on the very limited detial you gave it's hard to make conclusions. I will say you are talking about two different issues. Being mean relates to her personality. Not wanting to see you fired probably relates to her morality. She probably doesn't even realize that she is mean. Most peole don't think of themselves as being mean people. Another thought is that she doesn't believe anyone should be fired for any reason.

I'm sorry statements like these just bother me. Is the church you are reffering to here the church as the bible describes it. Or are we talking about the building. God's bigger then the building. One can easily live a healthy spiritual life without the going to a church building once a week. It is not about the building, and often people who don't go to church use this as a reason. It is about the body of Christ, learning, fellowship, and everything else that church entails. Tell me, if there had never been early church's, where would you be in your walk now? Read the Epistles. We need church and have always needed church. Scripture shows us that God desires it. Not really sure why your so defensive. You pretty much made my point. I don't look at the church as a building. Church happens everywhere. Because God is everywhere. Their was no building in the scriptures you mentioned. It was all about the beleivers. The same is true today. Granted church is the most obvious place to meet Christians in our culture today. That's why I beleive it's important. But we have elevated church to a place that is was never suppose to be. It's almost about what church you go to instead of how is your walk with God. Church is a community of beleivers. That community can be seen in a lot of places besides church. To say that your walk will be falling short by not attending a church is an insult to the power of God and an insult to the scriptures you mentioned.

Not sure where you live but I know living in America it's easy to say the world is getting so much worse. I always try to be careful saying things like this. America is bad. But God doesn't just work in America. The amount of people that are coming to Christ in China and India, just can't be ignored(I'm sure others are out there). God wants to reach all not just those in America.

Hey - don't forget Joseph! Yeah but I choose Jesus as my dad. Nothing against Joseph but he is no Jesus.

Mary, God choose her to raise his child. That says a lot to me.

Father=Jesus and after that who really cares.

Nor was the devil. More phrases like "this world" and "negative forces". Did Jesus talk that way about the devil?

Last night the USA had a great night. Three gold medals and six total medals. Watching how much better Shaun White is better then everybody else is simply amazing. His best score was on a victory lap. He is scary good.

My personal belief is indecision leads to prison.

Half the NHL players are playing in the Olympic games so we get no NHL hockey for 2 weeks. You wouldn't understand my dismay unless you were a hockey fan Your right I can't possible understand how you can't enjoy watching the hockey in the olympics. The best players in the world play for 2 weeks. Why wouldn't you be excited about that? If the U.S. team was a NHL team they would win a Stanley Cup. But they are the 4th or 5th best team in this Olympics. The quality of hockey will be so much better then the NHL. I can't possible understand how you aren't excited about this? Every other hockey fan is. The Canadian Women's team beat Slovakia 18-0. That doesn't make for exciting hockey for me' You get 2 or 3 rounds where the teams are competitive and other than that it is target practice for the 4 top teams. NHL hockey is more evenly matched all through the year If you actually watch the hockey in the Olympics, your opinion might be changed. It is a very competitive tournament. An expert on hockey like yourself should know that a hot goaltender can make a team an immediate contender in this tournament. To compare NHL hockey to women's olympic hockey is absolutely absurd. Only two teams have one a gold medal in women's hockey. If you think teams are overmatched in the men's tournament, you might try to think back at what happened in 1980. Can't wait for the USA to start tommorow.

I like watching the figure skating. I only watch the women's figure skating. Sometimes the bad judging makes it hard to watch. Sometimes it seems as a popularity contest as opposed to how they actually skate.
