It really depends upon what stage of Jewish theology you are looking at. For example, in the earlier books, God does evil things, but in later ones it's Satan who actually did the same thing.

does God change his mind?
by I-CH-TH-U-S in.
in the story of jonah, god says he is going to destroy ninevah jonah 3:3 ..."forty more days and nineveh will be overthrown".
but then god's compassion comes and he spares nineveh, does god change his mind?

Hey, free money!
by Simon init's not every day you get something for free but a 'kindly' credit card company rang to offer a 0% deal on balance transfers or cash advances with a 2% fee capped at 50. hmmmnn .... i figure a 15,000 loan for 50 ain't bad and will earn a several hundred quid if i just stick it in a high-interest account (and pay it right back before the 0% period is up).
should pay for a new xbox 360 .
must ... resist ... urge ... to spend ...

If women could beat the crap out of men
by gumby inmost of us in this world realise men can whoop their wives.
we have been used to the idea that men are heads in households.
men, when they want to, can use their biggerness, strenght, and power to overpower the woman.. just what if......the roles were reversed and the woman were more powerful than a man?.

So, if I understand what you are saying, you ask if men were the same strength as women are now and if women were the same strength men are now whether women would beat their spouses at the same rate as it happens now?
Yes; all power corrupts.

IN COMPARISON, THE AVERAGE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT IN YOUR COUNTRY IS 8.8 GLOBAL HECTARES PER PERSON.CATEGORY GLOBAL HECTARES FOOD 3.1 MOBILITY 0.8 SHELTER 1.1 GOODS/SERVICES 2 TOTAL FOOTPRINT 7
WORLDWIDE, THERE EXIST 1.8 BIOLOGICALLY PRODUCTIVE GLOBAL HECTARES PER PERSON.Unfortunately, it does not take into account the fact that all of my province's electricity is generated by hydro dams.
You've got to like this part, though:
IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 3.9 PLANETS.
our planet was never intended to sustain this many energy hungry apes
tetra, our planet wasn't "inteded" for anything. It will adapt, just like everything had to after the meteor hit. That's not to say we should not be moderate, however. -

This article is misleading. The Pontifical Council for Culture and the documents issued by it are not reflective of the official view of the Vatican.
