Last Sunday, January 3, as a guest commentator on Fox News Sunday, Hume unsolicitedly offered advice to Tiger Woods to turn his faith to Christianity instead. Hume didn't think that Buddhism, Tiger's religion, "offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith." The outrage on talk shows and the web and blogsphere has been swift.He said:"Tiger Woods will recover

During one of his speeches in his campaign President Obama said "it's not about me, it's about you," did he resort to mere flattery and chicanery to win the job? He probably didn't but he would learn in time that there is no pleasing everybody. President Obama thinks he's being just conciliatory by asking religious leaders of varying persuasions to participate in the "big day." But Paul Prather,

According to Theists, God loves all creatures big and small. A God is forgiving, just, fair and loving. This reminds me of one unfinished story my professor told us in my Dogmatic Theology class in college. We had to finish the story and that was how he would grade us.

Please visit "Why God won't Heal Amputees."Someone asked me today why I don't believe in the Jesus Christ. Instead of answering his question, I threw a question at him. Why don't you believe Mohammad? He replied that the Muslim religion is outrageous and unbelievable. I turned to her and said, "that's exactly how I feel about yours."

The sight, the smell, the taste, the feel...You can be alone, but never lonely.It is like a song that lingers on your mind,a poem you don't want to end,a sense of euphoria inspired by the beauty of Fall.This is why I love Autumn.

In Catholic school, the nuns and priests taught us that unbaptized babies who died went to limbo. They could not go straight to heaven because they have original sins, which was supposedly been inherited from Adam and Eve. You know....sins of the parents!!!Limbo, according to Mr. Webster, is defined as: "a place or state of restraint or confinement, a place or state of neglect or oblivion, an

Still on yesterday...I had to take interior photos of a property that had been foreclosed and which I am going to list. It was a piece of crap. A 3 bedroom, 1 bath, 1 car garage, 900 square feet of dump, in a neighborhood I would not live in is worth $420,000. How could one justify the quality of life in the Bay area if housing prices are outrageously high? See what I mean??

As I was driving from San Francisco International Airport toward North I-101 to the East Bay on I-80, I was bothered by how I felt with the surrounding areas. The mountains have patches of green trees but a lot of it are brown space of dirt and dead weeds in between. The roads and highways were cracked in some spots and the asphalt needs resurfacing. As I pass by the Bay bridge, the rusts on the

I got back yesterday morning from my 5 day trip to Virginia. I think this State is absolutely one of the most beautiful, "a top 10", in the US. The Shenandoah mountain is blanketed by trees. In the early morning, there are spots of fog in some areas and the rest is crisp clear. There are patches of fall hues in some trees, but it's still green. I will be back in autumn to see the burst of fall

It has been 5 years ago today that the world was rocked by horror. I remember how people came together in a way they did in the wake of that dreadful day.

I went to LA this weekend for a reunion with some high school friends. Being with them brought you back to a past you sometimes forget actually existed. Reminiscing the fun and carefree days of our youth also brought back a flood of nostalgic feeling hanging on the sentiment.

This planet is inhabited by stupid and irrational evil people who are taught by religious fanatical idiots and crazy zealots that for everything they do, they must adhere to a religious moral code.

Sometimes we add glitter and other art form to make it stand out even more.Ahh..egg hunting...Doting grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles put different color papers which corresponds to a $

It's a crazy weather we're having.2 days ago the weather was perfect - 70 degrees F.Yesterday, the wind blew hard and cold. It was about 60 degrees F but with the wind chill factor it went down to about 55. The wind can blow really hard here in the desert.Today it was warm, prob'ly 78 degrees. I got excited! I went to the backyard to make sure the pool is clean so that anytime it got warmer or

My big baby, Jan, is in Salt Lake for her FA training. She said Mormon Country is beautiful. ...Depresses her, though, because she's alone where she can't share the majestic alpine mountains or the rugged redrock canyons with her husband.I told her to just enjoy the moment and the beauty of nature. Sometimes, being alone and communing with nature refreshes your views in life.I wonder how far she

I went to the Strip to relax and to clear my mind....i saw Hummers left and right....I really had no idea so many stretch Hummers even existed.NO WONDER we had to go to war in Iraq.

Today, somebody from the Philippines text(ed) me. It goes..."Jesus Christ gave his life for us, in this lenten season let us reflect on what our life is all about. Happy Holy Week"Well...DUH...People are so used to saying happy, merry, joyful...whatever... that they just say or write things without having a clue on what it is they are celebrating or in this case, supposedly reflecting/mourning.

So which religion is right for you?Take the quiz.Based on my score, I am Agnostic! Hmmm...I still couldn't shake off my strict Catholic upbringing. The padres and the madres brainwashed and f#@%ed me up big time! tsk...tsk...~ugh~Am probably doomed to have Catholic hangups and religious meanderings.I'd rather be a Pantheist.

We were looking for a house today. It was not on mapquest yet because it was in a new development here in LV. We went around in circles for an hour so I asked my hubby if we could stop at a gas station to ask for directions. And as usual, he said, "We're not lost!" We just couldn't find it."OMGWhat is it with men and asking for directions? The men of Israel wandered around the desert for 40 years

I have a strange gift of converting even the simplest task into a chaotic spiderweb which results in apprehension and stress.Hubby complains about this all the time.I was supposed to pay my Amex card between the 27th and the 1st. Of course the 1st being the last day to pay it before my rewards points get forfeited. And of course I have to wait until the last minute, no sweat. Tomorrow, tomorrow,

Christine got sick with abscess cellulites, more commonly known as an infection. But a very nasty one! When I picked her up from school Friday she wasn’t feeling well. As soon as we got home she hit the sack, never touched dinner and her fever never went below 102.Not Good!Last Night we went to the emergency room because the left side of her cheek was swollen like an overly riped tomato.

This really makes me f*@#ing mad. I hope this woman die a horrible death!If it is in my power, I will personally put her in hell, then I will skin her alive and veeeerrry slowly burn her to a crisp!!!! I would not want to wish a horrible, terrible, insufferable death even with my enemies but this woman deserves an unbearable, a very slow and very painful death. How could someone be so cruel?I saw

From Become an Ocean Defender website:For 70 years, the Nippon Suisan Kaisha Ltd. company of Japan—also known as Nissui—has been involved with the large scale commercial hunting of great whales, which continues today despite the international ban on commercial whaling. In 2001, Nissui, through its US subsidiary Nippon Suisan USA, purchased seafood giant Gorton’s, Inc. of Gloucester, Massachusetts

I am not ganging up on Pope BXVI just because this is the 2nd post I did 'bout him getting all those expensive stuff but I've just read that he has a new toy this time. A group of Vatican Radio employees gave ze pope his very own brand new 2-gig digital audio iPod nano loaded with special Vatican Radio programming and classical music.

I just got through cleaning a part of my house that I frequently stay when I'm there. It's a corner in my family room where I can watch TV and do my work. (Heck, yes! I can multi task)I was fiddling with and cleaning my laptop but I couldn't quite understand why...even after wiping the screen and cleaning the keys, dust would accumulate after 30 minutes. I looked in a corner near the window and

I have an addiction to coffee. This helps me tune up my brain everyday. I cannot start my day without my grande-3-shots-non-fat-caramel machiatto. I'd be a wooze all day. Actually, even if I wake up early in the morning, my mind does not function before 10:30 AM. That means whatever you tell me before that time just passes in my left ear and out to my right.Perfect example...My daughter asked me

I was flipping TV channels this morning when I came upon a game show host being interviewed about how she felt regarding getting another ad endorsement that paid her millions. For the nth time, she said with a tad of arrogance, "GOD IS GOOD! I'VE BEEN BLESSED!"WTF?????...and so the millions of other starving people in other parts of the globe are just plain forgotten because they're not blessed..

I don't gamble because I have this doomed feeling that I suck at it.But today, I lost to a one armed bandit because the stupid progressive jackpot is up to $12,000,000. After dinner at the Rio Hotel, I was standing by the lobby waiting for my hubby to come out of the john. I saw lights flashed on that $12 mil billboard. It beckoned the fool to come over! So I slipped $20 bucks.I lost while he was

I suddenly had the urge to stomp on a damn DVD and smash it to smithereens.There I was comfortably sitting in my soft couch, a drink and popcorn on the table, DVD in the player, remote in my hand. I started the play button and gleefully anticipated the DTS Surround Sound intro.Blue....just blue.....Nothing!Tried again......Pressed Play......Forward.......Backward......Play......Blue....just blue.
