Human beings have a natural tendency to worship. I'm not just talking about religious worship. We idolize, want to know every thing we can about, and collect memorabilia of our favorite celebrities, atheletes, musicians... We faint and cry at concerts...
Don't you think this is because God loves worship so He created us with a need to worship but many times, like all of the above, it is misdirected?? What do you think?

or any of our senses we use to interpret the world around us this is not a question of community i understand the choices of some deaf and the desire to continue interacting with their personal environment more a question of where does the tradeoff end and begin on how we SEE the world

This section has a lot of trolls. There are a lot of atheist troll basically answers every question with there is no God. The theist troll basically answers every question with I am praying you come to have faith and conform to my believe.

I have noticed there is a good core group of theists and agnostics and atheists who try and read and give good answers. I usually disregard the trolls on this site now.

Does anyone else notice this, and just wish we could have like a conversation amougst the 40 of us without the trolls from both sides cluttering up our questions and other people who ask good questions when we scroll through the answers?

I am intrigued by the Ford mustang ever since seeing one at a classic car show last month. I think it was a late 60's model (none of that modern crap) in shining black, and, for an American car, was gorgeous (not that American cars are ugly, but from a UK perspective they are often highly impractical).

I was wondering what the status of this car is in the US- do people look at them and go 'oh, a 40 year old Ford,', or do they have a certain 'wow' factor like they do in the UK?

PS, A friend of a friend owns one, it's a Mustang Boss (...), but I can't remember the three numbers that follow- supposedly it is very rare- any ideas?

Thanks!

What does that really mean? Is it never OK to conform to different situations and adapt? Or, does that mean you're not being true to yourself. The reason I'm asking this is because I find myself subconsciously changing the way I talk depending on my environment. Around my black friends and family, I tend to talk with more slang. Around my white friends, I tend to talk more proper and say things like "awesome" or "sweet" or "bummer". It seems like i'm a bunch of different people. Some days i'm ghetto. Other days i'm prim and proper. Other days I'm rocker chic and it goes on and on.

Does this mean I haven't discovered who I really am? I'd like to think that I just have many different facets to me. What do you think?

You know..it just occured to me...I wonder if atheists got their start at Woodstock...I watched that movie of the concert and I bet some of them are from that era.... it all makes sense now..." power to the people..acid...back to the garden ( to smoke it ) and left handed Jimmi Hendrix playing the Star spangled banner with his teeth...that " everything sucks " kinda attitude.....especially church and " religion "....then all the cynical moods that floated out of that...Those must have been rough times...my sympathy to all the survivors...glad Im a kid and was able to start life in a loving environment...my parents were full of faith...my dad told my mom I was an angel when I popped out of her tummy...I wish this on everyone in the planet......and I pray a smile and happiness plague on everyone with no sign of any cure in the forseeable future.

So much advice tells us to 'be ourselves' or 'be true to ourselves', and yet we would all agree that it behooves us to undertake a certain amount of self improvement e.g. if someone tells you that you are rude, it would be worthwhile makeing an attempt to be more courteous, the same goes with other things like being more confident, more loving, more literate, more open minded, more healthy etc.

This contradiction has been haunting me for years. I would very much like to change and improve myself, but I keep being told that I should just be myself. What am I supposed to do?

I'm off to the Amazon in two months and I suffer extremely severely from a phobia of spiders (yes, I know the Amazon isn't the best place to be in this case!)

What I want to know is, is there any way to 'cure', or lessen, such a phobia? Someone recommended hypnotherapy but this seems expensive and with dubious results.

Someone else just said go to my local zoo and (after a word with the warden!) see if you can get in to a tarantula tank- apparently this can 'overload' the phobia and I will just grow accustomed to their presence.

Any ideas?

Serious question. I have a few friends who are Wiccan, but most don't talk about it with me. Maybe because I am outsider, who knows. What is the difference between a Pagan, a Wiccan, a Druid and some of the other "alternative" religions as I hear some people call them. Please let me know especially if you belong to one of these religions, as I am curious and I want a better answer than wikipedia or whatever gives. Are their ranks like their are in the standard religions? Like priests, rabbis, and such? Do you have to study to become part of any of those religions? Are there services for these religions? What's the deal with magic and these religions? Please enlighten me so I am not ignorant about these religions.

according to the Five books of Moses is through a blood sacrifice?

Where does it say this is the only way?

Do Christians know that sacrifices all but ended with the destruction of the first Temple (before Jesus was born)?
