ouija boards are really not good to play with because they can become open channels (doorways into the other dimensional planes)~~(has anybody noticed the later it gets on these boards the more jerry springer the questions get and the spelling goes right out the window~~~i mean entertainment value is high but i cant understand the question~~oh yeah and if you have any cautionary tales about ouijas share if you like~~maybe some kid will get the hint. (not to play with this thing)

For instance if you once considered yourself an athiest to become a Christian or vice-versa. Be serious, if we're not helping each other understand then we are all wasting our time.

Do you think that truth is something you find (but it might not be in a religious book), define (by ourselves), or that simply there is no truth, only things we percieve? I'm very interested to know what you think!
If you define it, where do you get your truth from? Do you search yourself as a human being or is it from experiences in your past?

Thanks for taking the time to answer. It seems the Christians in the house get bombarded with questions attacking our belief and we don't seem to get you atheists or agnostics a chance to explain anything you believe. So please.... "enlighten" us.....


p.s. no matter what your answer... Jesus loves you still.

I home school my sons for various educational and religious reasons. The biggest reason by far is I feel that I can give them a better education. I care more about what they learn. They are both active in Boy Scouts and our Church. They have many outside friends and do watch Tv and play video games. How do you think I am raising them to have "social" issues?

Are all animals like the doneky, able to think like us and could express things in words if they were only given the opportunity?

If a question can stir towards truth- do you care if it stirs ire in some of your allies?

People need to ask themselves the following questions (although most do not consider deeply such things): What do I believe? Why do I believe this? People are too lazy, too afraid and too ambilavent to explore their blievfs...

"Who loves gay people more -- those of us who warn of the medical (and spiritual) perils of their lifestyle, or those people who enable such a medically dangerous lifestyle?"

Found this in response to an earlier question of mine that doesn't even mention homosexuality. Curiously enough, it seems to have come from email correspondence with another who preached the same argument (someone I found preaching in the Gay, Lesbian & Transgendered group).

I've spent nearly 30 years defending persecuted minorities, including gays. Seen Christians argue more openly about their beliefs. This business of 'worrying about their health' is a new tack obviously intended to obfuscate their true motivation: religious bigotry.

Considering this 'health' concern is based on inapplicable stereotypes invented to disguise religious zealotry and bigotry, what do you recommend as a response?

One of my kids is finishing up an immersion program at Concordia Language Villages in MN and I am looking for a language school for the summer 2007. He has been out of the country before, but always to Europe, never to Central or South America. I want to find a 6 or 8 week immersion program in Spanish that is really rigorous but also in a place that is very interesting. Any recommendations? What schools? What countries? Why? He likes the nuances between say Argentinian Spanish and Mexican...and Spanish from Cameroon and from Barcelona. I don't feel the 'need' to necessarily send him to Madrid...and I would like perhaps for him to live in a country that struggles a bit. Thoughts? Schools? Recommendations?? Links?? Thanks!!

Notice the word: ANOTHER?

John 14:16
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

and why would Jesus call the holyspirit with another different name?
