n your opinion why does it appear that American Christianity has become the love child of Capitalism, individualism and greed. I have purused the ghettos of Christian television and have become appalled at the heresy.

Prosperity Preachers like Creflo Dollar, Jamal Bryant, Keneth Hagin, Oral Roberts and Fred Price and etc depict God as a grand slot machine; If you tithe to the church GOD will bless you with a Benz, Bentley, new house, car and more bling bling.

It seems that the thesis of there message is that to have those things are a sign of divine blessings and favor. DOES THIS POP-CULTURAL MESS BOTHER ANYONE BUT ME??????

Does it even bother anyone that these beautiful celebraty preachers who dress like characters on soap operas are not even smart and do not have earned accredidated degrees? Can't congregants make a case to sue them for spiritual malpractice? I think the gospel that they preach is the equavelant of spiritual homocide. (murdering the spiritually weak)

ok about a month ago i had a dream that i was in this graveyard.in the whole dream nothing happened no movement just a picture of the front of this graveyard. a few days later i had a dream that a guy walked in to the same graveyard and went into a little house (like where they bury the dead bodies but above ground) in the middle of the graveyard and never came out. about 2 weeks ago i had a dream that my uncle had an unexpected heart attack and died and he was buried in that same graveyard. at this point the graveyard was only in my dreams i never heard about it before never seen it before or anything like that...it only existed in my dreams. all these dreams have just been regular dreams and not nightmares. about a week ago i had another dream of the graveyard but no movement in it and for some reason this was a nightmare and i woke up in the middle of the night sweating, cold, shaking, and scared.

1) Your running and you can't stop but when you do stop you end up flying into something (for example: when you stop you fly right into some trash cans)

2) Where the world is all twisted (for example: your walking home and you know your going the right way but when you reach your house you found out that it's really not your house, and now your stuck trying to find your way home)

For example, I want to travel the world when I get older....do you think looks have anything with me being able to do that?

How about other people...have you ever noticed where looks might limit some people...for example, a short man not getting a job?

It seems like some of the most usefull parts of adult hood...(i.e., saving for retirement, paying taxes, adopting a personal finance plan, investing in the market...etc) are barely touched upon in a general education's curriculum. Why?

right now I hate myself so much that I'm just extremely angry at myself for even being alive. I just want to yell at myself. I failed gym again, I'm failing most of my classes in school. I've also had a lot of nightmares about school. last year I missed more than 75 days. I hate it so much, not the fact the I have to work and no one there likes me, it's the fact that people I don't even no or like have control over me. does anyone else ever feel like this? or have any advice?

Why can't a guy compliment a girl anymore without her automatically assuming the worst of his motives?

I'm in my 20's but I look young for my age. I guess, I feel that People think I'm so immature by the way I act. I just have alot of enthusiasm and love life, I admit I still need alot of attention, I depend on people's approval to control my self esteem, I'm self-conscious and sensitive.
My question is. How can I keep my personality, which I think is enthusiastic and still be seen as mature instead of immature?
How can I become mature without losing myself? Thanks :)

That dictates to men who are speaking to women that obviously the woman can't comprehend the complexity of their amazing thoughts, and thus, must be explained and simplified in an extremely patronizing manner?

I do know of several exceptions to this statement, and I don't mean to criticize them. Is this terribly common, and if so, why does it persist?

Okay. I have a friend who used to call herself "Bloodrane" and thought she was evil, and etc. Now, she tells me shes a spy (Shes convinced she is, like no joke, she's told me she's not joking) and that she was sent to our school to spy on me, and 3 of her friends. She says she has a boss, who like has people watching me and her friends right as we speak outside our windows, etc. May I remind you, she is 15. Her father cusses her out everyday, and she kinda hates where she lives. She's totally convinced she's a spy, and that it's no joke. We had cops called to our school a day ago, two cop cars to be exact. She calims the police that were there were sent to "watch her", and etc. Could all this be a sign of immaturity, a multiple personality disorder, or a cry for attention or all three?. Mind you what her dad does is considered emotional abuse, cause he does cuss at her alot. She tells me that she can't fall in love with anyone until her mission(s) are done, and etc.
