What OS do you prefer (eg. Windows Xp, Windows Vista ect.) I prefer the new Windows vista. But I have thought about changing to a mac computer.

thewatchlist Windows 7 will be out around August. I'm using the Beta now and it is leaps and bounds better than Vista. I haven't tested playing any old games on it so I don't know how it stacks up against XP in that area but other than that I think it is slick. BTW, I'm...

Is reading Tarot cards for myself wrong according to God and the Bible?

Anakata2007 @Anakata2007 (1783) • Canada 12 Feb 07

I read a deck of cards that I always thought were full of Christian symbols. I don't pretend to prophesy the future, but I try to read the crds for awareness of what's happenning in my inner life and what I need to concentrate...

thewatchlist It depends on how literal you take the Bible and how literal you take the Tarot cards. : ) In my opinion, a god who is offended by a parlor game is a rather insecure god.

thewatchlist He's definitely not the worst quarterback in the NFL so my answer is no. If you don't ming me asking though, what does this question have to do with your title "superbowl"?? At least he didn't drag the retirement question out until the preseason like he...

Taking the name of God in vain: church people are as much

manong05 @manong05 (5027) • Philippines 6 Feb 07

guilty as the non-believers. How often do you hear church members saying "Jesus Christ!!" said for no reason at all other than mere expressions of surprise, sadness after hearing bad news or grief. Are the words "God...

thewatchlist It always makes me chuckle when I see someone who uses some other made up phrase instead... If you are avoiding saying the lord's name in vain or damning someone/something, don't you think that god know's what you mean when you say "gosh darn it" or whatever...

thewatchlist I don't think this is exclusive to India though. My hours aren't too bad, but some times they do get a little out of control. I do know others though that put in 70 to 80 hours a week at work. The IT field is also not the only field that suffers from...

Should the mother always get the kids?

speakeasy @speakeasy (4171) • United States 30 Jan 07

A customer of mine stopped by the office last week and told me about the problems they had been having with her step children. Her husband's ex got custody of the kids and he gets visitation during the summer and Christmas...

thewatchlist I agree with your opinions on this judge. Why do the kids need to be with their mother, who appears to have proven herself as a habitual drug user and can't stay out of jail. Does the judge not understand what kind of terrible example that is for her...

Do you think people that live in your country should have to learn the language?

rachelcaron @rachelcaron (1679) • United States 30 Jan 07

Do you think people that live in your country should have to learn the language? There are a lot of people in my country that don't speak English, but they get away with not learning it. You can live in communities where...

thewatchlist The United States of America has no official language (like some other countries do). The problem caused by not learning English is mostly a problem for themselves. No one is forced to make major concessions for people who do not speak English.

MY religion is the ONLY true religion! YOUR religion is wrong!

hockeygal4ever @hockeygal4ever (10021) • United States 30 Jan 07

How do you react to people like this? I get so upset. I dont' think there is one right answer to religion. Religion is based largely upon where you are brought up, how you are raised and so on. Some people call a dog a dog...

thewatchlist Unfortunately since religion is belief in the supernatural (for which there is no natural evidence of), they all seem to include rules about not being so friendly to those who do not believe. If you take your Bible or Qu'ran literally, you kind of have to be...

"Spare the rod and spoil the child" - Is spanking really effective?

coffeechat @coffeechat (1961) • New Zealand 29 Jan 07

Some say it is parental right, even duty. Some say that it's God's "law". Bible-huggers are the most vehement in the promotion of child beating. After all, the "bible" is full of these kind of ways of expressing love to your...

thewatchlist Spanking enforces via fear, which is why it works well with other themes in the Bible. Spanking is a minor punishment for kids really... Exodus 21:17 Numbers 31:17 2 Kings 2:23-25 I'm not a big fan of people spanking their kids because I've seen too...

Judas: should we judge him too harshly?

azriel @azriel (2107) • Philippines 29 Jan 07

yes he did betray Jesus, but wasn't it already written, and so he didn't exactly acted on his free will now did he. because if there is free will, and he chose not to betray, wouldn't it make him disobedient to God's will? it was...

thewatchlist To say that Judas had not free will causes an issue with the idea that we all have free will... Free will or not, Judas was required to betray Jesus. Then Jesus needed left to the judgement of others by Pontius Pilate, so on and so for, to fulfill the...
