I was at a store today with a friend and she said "Look, a cross with Jesus on it" (the word Jesus) and I said "Well, of course Jesus is on it, what else would be on the cross?" ....

if I wanted to do Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) I know there are options besides going to classes. If I were to do RCIA at home off EWTN with Father Corapi would I still be able to be baptized?

What is your belief system? Who attacked you? How often has this happened to you?

I do.I saw an angel in a super quick day dream.I was wide awake.It hit like a bolt of lightning through my head,while I drove down the street...She reached out with her hand and said "come on"and she pulled me up this dirt hill.Huge trees all around,a path with dry,tall grass,the sun up and to my left,about three o'clock,sort of golden.I was angry at the time,but afterwards,complete joy and peace ran through me.It was awesome and happened only once during my 27 year life......

non offensive, worded in such a fashion as to make it a question suitable for posting on Yahoo Answers, and someone deletes it. Are people really that offended that an agnostic would ask for prayers? Wow, what do you say to that?

And Jesus said
“If those who lead you say ‘see the Kingdom is in the sky’, then the birds will precede you.
“If they say that ‘it is in the sea’ then the fish will precede you. Rather the Kingdom is inside of you and it is outside of you”.
Does this mean that we don’t need church anymore? And don’t say it’s not God inspired, it was buried for about 1500 years!!!

I hear from Christians all the time that God speaks to them or they have a relationship with God or Jesus. I'm curious as to what form of communication is taking place in these claims.

Please, only real answers, no jokes. And Please please PLEASE no scripture... i'm asking about your personal experiences not what the Bible says. I have one, i can look it up if i need to.

Perhaps aliens come from a planet where their flesh and bones are just like ours and some have come to take residence on earth. or that some women who have been abducted were implanted with their genes.

I believe in aliens coming from an actual planet in our own galaxy or other galaxies.
Other than aliens coming from an actual planet I also believe that their could possibly be giant organisms that live in space like giant jelly fish or such.

"...and brought about the rise of secularization and moral chaos"?
I read the following article in the paper today about a new creation museum being built in Ohio.
http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060806/NEWS10/608060348
For those of you that don't feel like reading the article, it basically states that this museum was built to further the creationist view (ok with me, to each his own). I was kind of irritated, however, at the fact that the founder tried to equate a belief in evolution with, ostensibly, and abject lack of morals. I might concede that evolution may have slightly undermined the authority of the bible. OK, maybe it's brought about a rise in secularization. Even so, why is that then equated with MORAL CHAOS?! As if a person that is not a creationist has no ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and thus perpetrates society's ills with abandon?
What eveidence supports that conclusion?

That the lives we live,here and now are not all there is to our existence? That the earth really is a school, and our purpose here is to better our spiritual selves? That heaven, whether you perceive it to be full of fluffy white clouds and angels, or reunion with long-passed loved ones, or God, is not full of people whom disparage each other because of religion, creed, race, or sexual preference? That reincarnation is real ("energy and matter are never destroyed, they merely change form"), and the only salvation for humankind? That the real lesson of Jesus's life and death was his achievement of the Christ Consciousness, and his triumph over the bonds of materiality and crass physical life ("rising from the dead")? That karma ("for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction") is neither good, nor bad, it just "is"? That if your life is going badly now, you and only you are to blame, and only you can fix it? That we won't be able to leave here until we undertand?
