I read a magazine about Buddha Ji Gong, the enlightened mad monk. Does any Buddhist or Daoist know who he is? or Where to find resources about this very fascinating deity? I would like to know more about him than just the quarter page article that gave a bare synopsis of this deity.

With all thats going on in the world, every time some radical desides to blow up a plane, the first thing to happen is the moderate Muslim groups feel they need to appologise. I aprciate the guesture, but I feel they wish they could be seperated from theese loons in the public mind.
Anyone else feel like this?

"It followed from the special theory of relativity that mass and energy are both but different manifestations of the same thing -- a somewhat unfamiliar conception for the average mind. Furthermore, the equation E is equal to m c-squared, in which energy is put equal to mass, multiplied by the square of the velocity of light, showed that very small amounts of mass may be converted into a very large amount of energy and vice versa. The mass and energy were in fact equivalent, according to the formula mentioned above. This was demonstrated by Cockcroft and Walton in 1932, experimentally."

-Albert Einstein

E=mc2

M=e/c2

C2=m/e

In other words, did the supreme creator of the world impregnate a virgin to have his incarnation walk on earth?

Please defend your reason for this belief. If you quote the Bible, please specify the verse used.

I need a word lie which/where/what/ or why
In many languages you have a word which asks for the position in a list. The only similar concept I can think of in English is HOWMANIETH..... What word can replace howmanieth in this sentence: "Howmanieth were you placed in class" OR "The howmanieth president of USA was Richard Nixon?"
Serious answers only, please

1. You get money to go to school and university (loans is good most countries don't even get that)
2. You get free healthcare (even nick nurses and doctors from abroad cos there's such a shortage then complaing about the fact that immigrants are here)
3. Your police does not harass you or make you give them bribes for protection
4. You'd get money for sitting on your behind all day if you chose to do so
5. You get child benefit
6. You have decent roads to travel on
7. You have the opportunity to work in more or less whatever field you want be it retail, sports, fashion, science and still make a decent living.
The list just goes on...SO WHY DO YOU ALL COMPLAIN SO MUCH??!?!?!?

i saw quite a few questions tossed at atheist and pagans and other religions in here i want to know why you think we do. i know the answer for myself. most non-christians have read the bible and then studied the world history and then studied the christian faith we find it invalid and unprovable at best. so if you think you are right then fine dont beleive us nonchristians just look at your history before you throw stones at us non believers.

i am a spiritual/pantheist

oh and heres a website about the early christian church

i went to a club the other day, and there weren't any chairs left for our group(there were 6 of us, i was the only female,) so everyone was looking for a chair at least for me because we had to perform and i was already tired. my bf asked this guy if he wouldn't mind getting up for about 10 mins to let me sit. the guy then asks my bf why didn't he ask the ladies that were sitting next to us. i am not upset because that was his choice, i just wanna know where have all the gentlemen gone? i carry myself as a lady by the way, just in case someone has something smart to say.

I know that its a drink, but what else is it? I am confused. Can you people tell me what else it means? You know, when you say it over and over again? Somethings supposed to happen? What?

I like line dried clothes. not only do they smell fresh but it also saves money. It is sad because I don't see clothes lines around anymore.

I don't understand the whole confession thing. A priest can go a rape a little boy, then confess his sin to a priest, and that priest can't do a thing about it. Does that make any sense whatsoever? Mr. pedophile priest can rape as many boys as he wants, but as long as he confesses it to another priest he can continue to get away with it. And catholics actually listen to these men as though they are men of god. These mere men can provide absolution in the eyes of the lord to a pedophile? Does anyone else find that awesomely disturbing?

well, here goes. I am pregnant, and since my last pregnancy 2 years ago, I of course have lots of hormones that I am dealing with. I have been having daydreams/fantasies about making love to women. I have been curious to see if these new feeling are something real. Is it appropriate for me to ask another woman to be with me so that I can see if my feelings are real? I dobt that they are just fleeting.
I am not doing this for any other reason than these feelings. My husband does not mind that I feel this way and is actually encouraging me to find out this part of me. So I tried to see I still felt this way after looking at some female couples on the web being intimate and I was still very interested, even more.
does anyone have any suggestions as to where/how I would begin this process? thank you very much in advance.

For me, it's a pair of comfy joggers. They come out of the wash and bang, the dog smear his mouth on them or the kids will wipe food on them or I'll spill something.
