People wonder why the novel is the most popular form of literature; people wonder why it is read more than books of science or books of metaphysics. The reason is very simple; it is merely that the novel is more true than they are. Life may sometimes legitimately appear as a book of science. Life may sometimes appear, and with a much greater legitimacy, as a book of metaphysics. But life is always a novel.

I posted this question in the biology section and cant believe how many answers i got from ppl saying god did it,. so i figure that asking here i might get some better answers. i trust evolution, but it only explains how life changes and how we got to what we are today, but it does not explain how life began. How did something living come from things that were non-living?

It seem like our cynical age won't allow it. Our mythological legacy to history will be pretty thin by the looks of things

Why is it that Jehovah Witnesses do not celebrate holidays? And why, in this religion, is it considered wrong to celebrate holidays? Celebrating holidays brings family and friends together, and in this world, where people get so busy, isn't it nice to just relax and celebrate with the ones you love? I'm Roman Catholic, not a practicing Catholic. I used to study with a Witness, but it caused problems in my marriage ( my hubby is Catholic) and besides the whole thing against holidays, I think that religion is right on.

I am a Christian. I am a sinner saved only throgh the grace of God. I am flawed and I pray for wisdom and mercy daily. I know the differnce between right and wrong and I do my best to be pleasing to God. Why do people expect Christians to be perfect all of the time when there is no one perfect but God? And why are we are accused of being judgmental because we speak the gospel in love not hate? I believe we all are sinners but those of us who are more spiritual should correct each other in love.

And if God has seven spirits, does that mean that we do too?

Revelations 4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

Revelations 5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

Revelations 1:4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;

In my town we have these two particular bums. One is a black man that dresses in very large and dirty bellbottoms, a gigantic beanie with buttons all over it, and all sorts of little medals and things on his ripped-up denim jacket. He's really chill. We call him "Pycho-Magic."

The other is white women with mega-frizzy gray hair, a completely offensive attitude, little beadie black eyes, and speaks an almost incomprehensible dialect of english in which you can just barely make out a few hateful words. She's hostile to anyone unless they give her a cigarette. We call her "Scarecrow."

My friends and have I a few theories that he's the more powerful Magi and she was once his apprentice but he forsook her when she started dabbling in the Dark Arts (which has consumed her since). He adheres to a strick "code of honor" type dogma, but she will do whatever is necessary to achieve her plans. We think that he must have some sort of mighty artifact that she is after.

If a madman takes a woman hostage and uses her as a human sheild while he fires a semiautomatic into a crowd of people, would it be wrong to shoot at the person (assuming that is the only option), even if it means the woman has a good chance of being shot?













If you think its not justified, then are you saying that you think its better that the madman should continue shooting people?
And if you think that it is justified, how do you feel about what Israel is doing? Because that's exactly how they see the situation: Hizbullah are madmen using the lebanese civilians as human sheilds.



Please, only answer the qustion, do not post other (irrelevant) information.
and please keep answers short (~40 lines).
thanks and cheerio

And the Angels use the Sky to fly in, as I have been informed they do from christians, would it not then be correct to say God is indeed Baal(Lord)-Zebub(of those who fly), if I were to use the Hebrew tongue when referring to God?
I KNOW this is the OLD term for the God of Ekron(2 Kings 1:6) But nevertheless, it STILL is a descriptive of Yahveh, considering.
Therefore, it would also be ACCURATE to say that christians DO INDEED, worship Baal-Zebub!

Or can't you handle that fact...?

:)

I'm looking for my puppy dog dragon, he is white, curly hair, about 40 feet long and loves being scratched behind the ears.
Oh by the way, the neverending story is as close as you guys will get to the real truth.
Well, some of you guys know, but the eye has speaketh.
am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind
Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't cry, I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
Cause I ain't gonna live anymore
Believing
Some of the lies
While all of the signs are deceiving

THE EYE HAS SPEAKETH
Gosh, this is fun.
ALSO, the Auryn medallion on the cover of the book represents a tangled heirarchy, which is god.
