In a Chick tract, it says that the Roman Catholic practice of confession of sins to a priest derived from confessing ones sins to a Babylonian priest in ancient Babylon. Did ancient Babylon have confessions in confessionals or anything similar?

do u like my poem?

Highways

Looking for openings in the sky
she waves good bye to surrealism
wrapping the present of time
hiding it in her truth
for no fool to know

the highway seems scarred
by too many stories
racing into the night
of journeys never appreciated
impossible to rewind

my eyes can’t stay open
to see all the beauty
as the sun sets behind me
I cast judgment upon towns
under the palm of my hand

sad faces in fallen trees
wanting to tell stories
to fall apart and have a stranger
put them back together
a jigsaw puzzle

ponds dirtied with who we are
where sins are washed away
until sense is again made
forgiving until youth
brings you back to yourself

the music of nature lasts
but worlds shown through words
are never three dimensional
so we find in time we fail
to reveal beautiful truths

Still angels hover above
when my beatless heart goes numb
never knowing the freedom
of appreciating life
as it unfolds before my eyes

this may sound stupid, but i'm saying it anyways?

i dont exactly know how to say or put it. it does sound stupid, but i've been told there's no stupid question except the one you dont ask. anyways i'm 14, i'm a girl, and i'm in 9th grade. i dont care about the latest fashions and all that stuff and i dont have an interest in the shows on tv. what i am interested in though is philosophy, how things work, how we got here and all sorts of things like that. but i cant talk to anyone about that, because no one my age i know is interested in that. and it's hard for me to enjoy converstations and things because i can never talk about what i like. and people think it's weird i'm interested in things like this at only 14. and idk what to do.

Was Joan of Arc mentally ill?

I know that many historians have proved that Joan of Arc was not mentally ill, but are there some historians that believe she was mental? Anyways, who brought it up in the first place, that she was ill?

After watching the movie "The Messenger" based on the life of Joan of Arc and portraying her as a mentally ill person, I cant help but wonder myself at the possibility.

Are there any good sites about Joan of Arc and whether she was mentally ill or not??
