My opinon and please a comment.....
I try not to be offensive but this is what I see.....
This whole mainstream religion thing is helping some people but it is like a stratosphere that they will never rise above.
I really think some people initially need it but once they understand their role in a community..not so much after....
It is such a crazy concept and is hurting humanity bigtime...they have no reason to contribute like they should if they followed their dreams instead of their churches.....
Organizations are great and do alot but....do you think we can do anything about it before the world looks like 1984 or brave new world.
Maybe there is a group that has power and knows what to do, and we don't see it yet. Maybe we gotta find them...oh well...any feedback

I just watched the movie WHITE BALLOON, all about the goldfish needed for a family's new year's celebration. Along with gifts and food, you were supposed to have a family goldfish. Anyone know the meaning/origin of this? Is it just Iranian, or a Muslim custom, too? Thanks, for any goldfish lore..........

I am writing a cookbook for my job, and it centers around multicultural holidays. I would like to include something from the Jewish faith, and I want it to be accurate and something that is meaningful to the community.

I ask this question in a spirit of respect, and I would really appreciate it if all who answered did the same.

Would the car payment still come in the mail? Would the rent still be due at the end of the month?
Don't just say "youre an idiot!" because I see people do that for answers in here all the time- you'll never get picked for "best answer" that way! LOL!
I only ask rhetorically for somethng to think about.

Ok put it this way- "what would change for you if UFO's were proven absolutly to be for real?"

it's only a question of "when" we get the truth...

I am just wondering if anyone out there thinks it is as full of baloney as I do!!
I have never in my life heard of any one getting DENIED an annulment.
So, please tell me if you agree with me. If you dont agree with me..tell that too!
I think the catholic church should just allow divorce and remarriage. Everyone gets their annulment anyway!

Well, it looks like some of you guys think jesus was the god in flesh hmmm. Why is that. What is the logic in this. Technically, I am god in the flesh, and so are you.
What proof is needed to think jesus was god excpet for biblical reference.
What "IF" the bible disappeared today. Seriously it could happen.. What's your theory.......
Given the situatuion described above what happens then.
















































































God is real...jesus was not god like you think he was...he was a very gifted man but not "the" god......
it is modern polytheism.........
crazy, i never thought of it that way.....................
My faith........is this...Me and my mind and my mind's ability to know

judge not lest ye be judged? I expect to be judged. I judge everyone I meet. If I meet you, I judge whether or not you'd be a good person to spend more time with, or if you'd drain me, or make my life worse. You have to do that. Do I let others walk all over me? or do I use my best "judgement" and take action based on how I judge our interaction? HUH?

i saw a question on the other day, where a guy was telling people that he's yahweh and that people should serve him.

all of the christians accused him of mocking god. what i don't get though is,,,, christians expect a second coming of christ, correct? so how are you going to know who's actually jesus and who isn't??? i mean,,, even if he does something like turn water into wine or drop from the sky, you'll just dismiss those as a magic tricks and then accuse him of blasphemy. so what exactly will you be looking for??? what will it take to convince you??

follow up question: if you guys are so quick to dismiss a person's claim that they're jesus, then wouldn't you have also dismissed that claim when coming from the mouth of the original jesus 2,000 years ago???

plus,, correct me if i'm wrong, but you shouldn't be expecting evidence (aka miracles) in order to prove to you that he's jesus. you should just be accepting him on faith, right? well,, how do you know where to put your faith?

God's Moral Standard is the Ten Commandments. Examine yourself with some of His Laws: Have you ever told a lie? Have you ever used God's name in vain? Have you ever looked at someone with lust. When you die, God will judge you by His Moral Standards. If you stand guilty before God on judgment day, you will be headed for Hell. God is Kind and Caring in that He provided a way for you to be Forgiven and accepted into Heaven. Jesus Christ died on a cross in order to take the punishment and pay the debt for your sins. Now what you must do is Repent, which means to turn from your sins, ask God's forgiveness, and put your complete Trust in Jesus Christ. Only then will you Saved, Forgiven, and Accepted into Heaven, not because your a good person, but because your a bad person who's been Forgiven.

I've noticed that whenever you ask someone if they will go to heaven they say that, "yeah, im'a pretty good guy, i'm going" So will the whole world go to heaven or are we headed for damnation.
