The idea that the pre-flood race lived ~800 years lifespans; at the flood remnants went up Himalaya Mtns, into caves where they got hopelessly lost and developed an ongoing advanced civilization there. Legends of Shangrila in Nepal. Bigfoot being an animal which is also part of that. Anyone seen information?

We behave differently in public and when we are alone. Let see what people do when they are alone (say in the lift).

When is everyone going to realize that, sure, there are Christians, Atheists, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, and everything else in between, yet we are all hurt the same way by a blow to the head? We all share what hurts and what we need to live. When will we stop arguing who is right and actually work together to make a better world? We may think differently, but we all need to breathe, eat, and drink don't we? We all have good ideas and it is about time that we listen to each others - that is what every human spirit needs to realize.

I know that every religion has it extreme groups, but Islam is the only religion that actually teaches violence, why are people fooled by a religion so violent and we are supposed to accept them lovingly?

I need help with confidence and self-confidence. When I talk to people on Messengers, I'm not so shy, compared to talking to them in person. Please help me.

The Catholic Church is not a "denomination" since for about 1000 years, the Catholic Church was the only Christian Church and all Christians in the world were members of it.

"Denominations" happened after the first Protestants split off from the Catholic Church and when people split from that split and so on and so on. Now today we have over 33,000 Protestant denominations with new ones being founded each day. With Protestantism, if someone doesn't like a certain teaching, all they have to do is leave that congregation and start their own congregation with one less teaching. For example, many modern Protestants are now denying the existence of Hell and sin, and some don't even believe in God but still call themselves "Christian". I think that this is the ultimate end result of that slippery slope.

And why does poverty exist. It is easy to ignore such things in a nice country like the US; but how about the rest of the world? I bet if we took all the Christians in the US and moved them to Africa permanatley they would not be beleivers anymore.

I was at a sporting event and it was the final game. Team A is praying to beat team B and vice-versa. Now, apply this to a larger scale: different religions praying against each other; different denominations within the same religion; family vs family-if most people are praying, competeing interest are bound to arise; so, how does God accomodate this. What criteria are used to decided if team A is favored over B? Would love to hear your thoughts-thanks!

Baha'is believe in a future 'New World Order', but this term first came into use in 1912 or so, thus pre-dating George H.W. Bush (Senior)'s use of the term by 80 years or so. My question is whether the Baha'i concept, which is all about respect, compassion, spiritual answers to economic problems, justice etc. is the light side of the "New World Order" as it is discussed by conspiracy theorists, particularly in the 1990's (in my experience anyways!) Conspiracy theorists generally describe the NWO to mean the centralization of power and wealth on a grand scale, with the rich getting richer and the poor getting dead. Oil and media company mergers are symptoms of this approaching "order", as is the increasing tyranny of our own government (USA).
