Why doesn't a book written by an omniscient being leave you with a sense of wonder and amazement? If you are reading a book written by the all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving creator of the universe, wouldn't you expect to be stunned by the brilliance, the clarity and the wisdom of the author? Would you not expect each new page to intoxicate you with its incredible prose and its spectacular insight? Wouldn't you expect the author to tell us things that scientists have not been able to discover yet?

Yet, when we open the Bible and actually read it, we find it is nothing like that at all. Instead of leaving us in awe, it leaves us dumbfounded by all of the nonsense and backwardness that it contains. If you read what the Bible actually says, you find that the Bible is ridiculous. A book that advocates senseless murder, slavery and the oppression of women has no place in our society today.

I was watching some Discovery Channel this weekend and they had some shows on ancient Egypt which got me thinking, are there still people that follow some of the really old world religions like the multi deity ones from ancient Greece and Egypt?

In my particular faith in Paganism, Magic is neither black nor white. Your karmic retribution (or "three-fold-law") comes from your intent, not the "colour" of the magic you are performing. What are your views on "black" vs. "white" magic?

DISCLAIMER: This question is asked of Pagans/Wiccans/Witches etc. If your only comment is to say "It's all BS" or "It's all Satanist", please, save your energy. Thank you.

I don't make a lot of money, and I need to pay for college and that takes up pretty much most of my salary. But I can pay for maybe a car or for braces...I'm 20 and I HATE my teeth and it's a big issue for me, I hate smiling. So- should I hurry up and get them at this age, it's embarrassing enough but at least I won't have to get them in my 30s, or should I get a car? That would be great because I have to walk everywhere...work, school, and it's so hard for me to do anything with no transportation. BUT you also have to pay for gas and insurance. Which should I get?

article 2270 of the roman catholic communion states:
"Human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception. From the first moment of his existence, a human being must be recognized as having the rights of a person - among which is the inviolable right of every innocent being to life."

roman catholics however teach that the sacrament of baptism is necessary for the soul to attain salvation. (the catholic practice of infant baptism - baptising an infant before she can consent to the sacrament - depends on this idea).

2/3 of conceptuses are shed at the first menses after intercourse has taken place.

if infants must be baptised, and the conceptus is a human being from the moment of conception, can someone give me a link to the roman catholic rite for baptising sanpro (or directly baptising the menses, whichever is the easier)?

to come onto the veggie section and then make funny remarks

Oh my aching sides, how witty to suggest a lamb chop of greasy fry up when the question is obviously aimed at vegetarians.

Doh, at least try to be original or better still keep to the food and drink sections, why waste your time on a sectio that obviously doesnt interest you?
I doubt veggies would bother to answer a meat question.

Ok so you eat meat........ we eat veggies, viva la difference!! live and let live I say!

recently ive been having some problems with eyes..i study a lot and use my pc most of the time, sit up late reading tons of books, so my eyes are under a great strain...
at school i had 100% perfect eyesight..this i took after my dad..he still has it this perfect..dont wanna let it worsen...
what do i do?
ive been to doctors many times...and came to the conclusion they all say one same thing to everyone....dont study this much..thats not much of a advice
so i thought maybe anyone here had or still does such problems.....cos im really concerned about my eyesight..im only 19 and it's too soon to get 'blind'

I mean by all the violence the people do on a daily basis. Just the crime in general that they see it and it keeps them thinking that its okay for them to do what they do! I don't know how to say it but I have thought about how it doesnt help things for our people to constantly commit crimes.

So here is my problem I took in a stray kitten around 3 months ago, I know she is not very old due to her size and my vet thinks she is around 8 months. I'm now sure she is pregnant. I first thought she was just getting fat, she has always been very loving, but now all other cats are fighting with her.
She is eating loads, loves her belly being stroked, she has pink nipples and did have a solid tummy. now I have been away as my mum was unwell and since I have got back her lower tummy is saggy (where the milk would normally build up) but her sides are still solid. any ideas or advice on whats going on? xXx

My son's dad is from overseas. He left me while I was pregnant, son now 12 year old. Never got support, but he went to court when son was 2, dragged me thru mud, and got extensive visitation. I never asked for support b/c i was advised he would still harass me. they have gone on vacations before and not taken him, the excuse? "He dosent have a passport".
He fights me on everything. He was abusive verbally so I asked him to communicate by email, then he wouldnt respond to any emails (ie school lunch questions, ect). then if I called after that, he would say, email ONLY, CLICK. Recently when he called, I did the same back at him (he had been doing this for months...EMAIL ONLY, CLICK. Now, the night before he leaves, at 11:30 pm (and I could NEVER call HIM at these hours) he wants to drop something off for son, as he is leaving. He dropped off a Christmas card and $80. the Xmas card was like, "Our family wishes you a Merry christmas, son", signed dad and family.
I called him after that
