Just out of curiosity. If you do so, then why?
(P.S. - I don't even celebrate Christmas or Easter out of my personal views on pagan holidays.)

Does anyone know any haunted roads, houses or parks in Milwaukee, WI. Maybe any cool places to visit. I'm going up there for my vacation, and i don't wanna be stuck at my Aunt's house...

Why not other stones and metals? Is it just that they're rare and so what about that too?

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that the ongoing incidents in Lebanon are illustrative of the demise of atheist ruling systems and victory and rise of monotheist movements which have stood up to the most advanced powers while they possess the least possibilities.

You don't believe in God, or any gods, what do you actually believe? Destiny?? or... what is the purpose of life? Are you superstitious at all?? Chance? Coincidence??? What is worth living for??? Dying for??? These are real questions, please feel free to share. I do want to understand.
I respect you and your choices even though I do not share them... I want real answers, not some smart-allec dudes telling me off.

I'm just curious to know how people, especially women, feel about this. I know the first reaction will be like 'dont be silly' but stop, think and then answer. Imagine if men wearing dresses was as normal as a woman wearing pants.

Not a day goes by that I don't see a post here from some 12 or 13 year old who is convinced she is overweight. These kids are going to stunt their growth, and surpress the development of their internal organs.

Who else finds this unacceptable?

this has always puzzled me. I expect someone who is God to make it clear that he or she is God so that there is no confusion. But in the bible, there is not a single verse where jesus said something like " I am God." And please do no tell me that he "alluded" to be God. If someone is God, he cannot allude to it. God didn't allude to His True Self in the Torah. God made it clear in th OT as to who He is " God is One and Alone" which even a toddler can understand.

I'm not refering to the fact that we feel guilt so we repent, but to the fact that sometimes we are put in situations where we do things only out of guilt. Like, I felt guilt awhile back for not doing something, so I did it...Does anyone get me?

Single mothers seem to have everyone's support and compassion, but when it comes to a man's role in raising his own child/children, the subject becomes taboo.

If I'm wrong, please prove me so.

I have read the bible at least 4 times, I have my own beliefs. But this is my problem with the bible. There are so many versions of the bible and so many decades and centuries that people have changed or conformed the bible. The bible is man's story. And how do we know that most of it isn't made up or even distorted. I mean if I say "the dog ran" and 20 other people pass that along then by the end it would probably end up like " the dog ran and then it jumped and this is why you don't have a lab" I am just saying I realize faith plays a part, and I have faith in god but not the bible. To many hypicritical and corrupted people have been involved in the transformations of it. Give me your opinon on this please?

According to what I have heard (I'm sorry, I don't own a Bible, please don't berate me for that), the Bible also condemns people for things like touching bed sheets after copulation or menstration, among some other things that even Christians seem to ignore (I think putting thieves to death is another). Could someone clarify this distinction for me?

Once you have the revelation of personal experience referring to existence on multiple realities and the overlapping concepts and knowledge that carries over, does one get reborn. When one is a dweller on the threshold, is there an option to advance or stay. If you choose to advance to a new consciousness, will that deny you of ever choosing to exist on an earth type existence or one of an analogous equivelant?
Just curious.
Why would you risk getting reborn if there was a chance that you will not remember in the next adventure.
