What is a good little prayer to say with a baby or a little child. When I was little we said the "now I lay me down to sleep" one. I have a 10 month old and I want to start saying prayers with him.

why do some people you talk to without warning turn into random pervs without being led on or the conversation even romotely be based on sex, like you could be talking about the weather then get suddenly asked what underwear you have on.

My brother will have the opportunity to ask President Bush one question. To my knowledge, it can be on just about any topic. He recently obtained a White House fellowship and will be in DC for a year. He wanted to know what I would ask, and now I want to know what you would ask!

All the resurrections in the Bible happened here on earth--not in heaven. So, where did Christendom got the idea that Christians will go to heaven when they die?

Do all of you people who don’t believe in UFOs and aliens think that the ones of us who do are just a bunch of god hating, liberal, anti government, flag burning hippies. because were really not. is just that to believe that we are the only ones in this whole universes is very arrogant. Also have you ever considered that if god supposedly created the heavens and the earth what makes us not believe that god didn’t seed the rest of planets with other life forms. why should god tell us about his plans for other worlds huh? we don’t need to know its for our own good not to know about gods plans. also in order to get lots of answers because I believe that one category is not right I am going to post this question under several postings so be careful not to answer this question twice unless you want to.

I want this translation because I am thinking about using it for a tattoo. So it would be good if someone could give me the translation and maybe even like a site or something where I could get proof because obviously I dont want to walk around with the wrong thing inked on my skin forever.

Just finished watching "The Mists of Avalon" (Earth Mother/ Sky Father) and "Waterworld" (Earth Mother/Poseidon Father).

I noticed that Judaism, Christianity and Islam (all paternal/monotheistic) have cut off the rejuvenating/nurturing/connecting aspects so obvious in some maternal religions.

I'm curious as to why we lost those qualities in religion.

I'm wondering if rising population densities placing increasing pressures on resources thus placing increasing pressures on those populations to sustain themselves might have led to a more paternal/warlike structure that eventually replaced the Earth Mother.

Comments? Useful information?

P.S. And no, I don't think the Virgin Mary counts. For one thing, she is not worshipped as a Goddess.

The ladies restroom where I work has two stalls. Sometimes when one of my coworkers is in there the same time as me, they will try to carry on a conversation while we are each in our seperate stalls. I find this very awkward. I think the conversation should end once you enter the stall. What do you think?

Well, my family and I got in an argument about how God does love all kinds of people even homosexuals-as long as they follow in his word or guidelines, although are gay (because they are attracted to their same gender sexually etc. ) they don't have intercourse with the same sex, or even kiss-because they know it's wrong. But, my family says that no matter what, God doesn't love them, because they are homosexuals. If you know a passage in the bibile that says God loves all kinds of people, or the guidelines that he permits of people who feel different-it'd be great if you could tell me, I want to prove them wrong. Someone in my speech class had the passage about God loving homosexuals as long as they follow the guidelines, because he was pro-gay and was debating about it and used the bible (the passage) for his argument.

Peter once walked with Jesus and knew Him well, but he denied Him. He truly regretted what he had done.

just ask Jesus to become your Savior. He's paved the path for you to get to Heaven, you simply have to acknowledge Him, and you get to walk the path! He paved it for you two millenia ago. He is longing for you to become His child. don't turn Him down. He is your only hope.

if you want to go to Heaven when you die, accept Jesus. say this prayer (it can be outloud or to yourself--either way God knows your heart and your thoughts) NO STRINGS ATTACHED.

"Jesus, I know what you did for me. I know I am a sinner, I know I don't deserve you. But, by your grace I am saved. I ask you now to come into my heart and become my Light in the dark, my Comforter and my Best Friend. Thanks God for allowing Me to have a way to enter Heaven. In Jesus's name, Amen."

Thats all. If you said that prayer, and meant it with all of your heart, soul, and mind, you are ETERNALLY SECURE IN GOING TO HEAVEN! Congratulations, you did it. God bless those who meant that prayer.

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts they shall heap to themselves teachers, telling them what they want to hear, and their ears shall be turned away from the truth..." (2Tim. 4:3)

Are you one of those helping to show the truthfulness of this Bible prediction? ?

this circus of people smacking each other back and forth is astonishing

the lack of empathy and compassion are proof enough of the prophecy that in the time of the end people would be slanderers, liars, not open to any agreement!

All these ones that ridicule the Bible are also foretold as those that will come with their ridicule,.

everyone with a competant level of understaning from the scriptures knows that these statements are true, so the end must be ever closer,
pray for it!
as it is in a hurrying!
it is God's will for the end of all those who are ruining the earth , aa he wants to rid the earth of them.

thank you to all those who support and do not support the truth and reliability of the Bible, as you have all played a part in many learning the truth!

How often do you pray? Do you have a set routine of the prayers you say, or do you talk to God like you would a friend? How do you start your prayers? Do you kneel at your bed, or pray as you do other things during the day? I always start with the Lord's prayer, then I thank God for all the blessings of my day, then I ask for forgiveness for my sins or mistakes of my day, then pray for help with things and pray for who I talked to who needs help. I was just interested in how you pray.

Hey guys... I am a 22 yr old lesbian. I have known I have been attracted to woman since I was in the 2nd grade. I am in a relationship now for the past year but sometimes I can't help to think that it would be so much easier to be straight. I could never live that life but I feel like I am constantly under the worlds magnifing glass. Has anyone ever felt this way?
