Ok, my neice is still alive and well, but I keep dreaming of her drowning-I'm not sure if its a lake, ocean or what. its but not a pool.
I've had dreams about people and death since the night before my father died, when I was six. And I don't mean every once in a while-
these dreams come monthly.

On top of that, her apartment number is 222. Is there some sort of curse on us? I didn't start seeing 1:11, and 11:11 all the time until she said something about seeing 3 two's at least once a day (besides on her apartment door)

Are people so truly Dim or are we simply unable to perceive or laugh at things anymore?? I could ask a really stupid question like “ if I rub peanut butter on my B-U-T-T hole. Will it stain my underpants and how do I clean it” .. and I could guarantee I would get about 4 answers of what detergent to use .. or people giving me all these DEEP thoughts.. can people not understand that sometimes questions are just asked to have fun or be silly. People on here take these things so seriously. Lighten up people its not that serious.. learn to laugh again. It really makes things more enjoyable

My boyfriend & i have began to plan our wedding. We have a serious problem concerning the ceremony. I'm atheist, he was raised Christian but is seriously beginning to doubt the existance of god (we met in an atheist chat room). The problem is that i want no mention of god, no prayer, no religious undertones etc in the ceremony. He became very upset, his family are strong Christians & he felt that it would be a huge insult to them & disrespectful. He suggested that we comprimise. How the heck do you comprimise in this situation? Mention god and say a prayer in one half of the ceremony, and not in the other, that makes absolutely no sense. My beliefs would still be disregarded. I care deeply about his family, but this is OUR wedding. I'm not willing to cheat myself to please his family. If it was actually HIM that honesly wanted the prayer and mention of God, i'd be ok with that But he flat out said, "I just don't want to catch grief from my family". What do i do?

Here in my area of Michigan Mosque are being built at the rate of three to four a year. ( There are 500,000 Arabs in my area ) They are beautiful to look at but the people who go there really are different. For example, The women are all covered up and the men look like Osama Bin Laden. They tell me their goal is to turn the USA into an Islamic nation sometime in the next 20 to 30 years. They plan on taking over by the vote and not by violence. They tell me it's a peaceful religion and we will all fall in love with Allah if given a chance. They said Islam is the way and Christianity is a false religion. What do you think?

Will the Presbyterian Church gain or lose members now that they allow this feminist liturgy?

Church looks at gender-inclusive Trinity
By Richard N. Ostling
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.

The divine Trinity — "Father, Son and Holy Spirit" — could also be known as "Mother, Child and Womb" or "Rock, Redeemer, Friend" at some Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) services under an action Monday by the church's national assembly.
Delegates to the meeting voted to "receive" a policy paper on gender-inclusive language for the Trinity, a step short of approving it. That means church officials can propose experimental liturgies with alternative phrasings for the Trinity, but congregations won't be required to use them.
"This does not alter the church's theological position, but provides an educational resource to enhance the spiritual life of our membership," legislative committee chairwoman Nancy Olthoff, a lay member from Iowa, said during Monday's debate on the Trinity.

At the end of Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift, they have a ridiculous disclaimer telling people not to 'try it at home.'

...Are people really getting this dumb? I mean, at the end of Die Hard, I don't recall seeing a message warning me not to go jumping off tall buildings and swinging through windows with my bare feet...

I know it's all about lawsuits, but I guess my point is: Should it even be necessary? ...If someone's crazy enough to do these things without knowing how to do it right, they shouldn't be allowed to sue, should they?

I mean, why the cross? Thousands of people have been crucified other than Jesus and the Bible never says that the symbol of Christianity should be a torture device. I think perhaps the symbol of Christianity should be the way true Christians behave - like Jesus Christ himself.

then he should be the dominent deity? And shouldn't he be considered a deity because he is considered the major opposing force to God? If he is not equal to God, why can't god just destroy him so that this world would spend more time worshipping ? Isn't that what god ultimately wants? to be worshipped?

And vice versus for women how in the hell do we know what a real woman is. For all we know a real woman is the lady you never see at work or in the field she is to busy nuturing her family and keeping her husbands affairs in order.

Why do the ignorant keep refering to Allah as someone or something different from their God? He's the same damn thing! Allah is Arabic for God!! He's the same God you worship for whatever your religion is! Why are you people sooo stupid!?!? Like Jahova and God are the same thing, but nobody seems to make that mistake!
