Assuming that spirituality is a key factor in human life and assuming that God exists and there are forces to be bent: what can a "true" witch do? How do spells work? Do they work? Must you sell your soul? Are grimoires valid accounts of occult practices? Is the whole topic just another let-down? Can we bend the forces of nature or break them? Just write down whatever you know about the occult.

mmm Israelis say that they are eliminating terrorism from this world
I want to ask them why ? I think that they will say= "so there must be no killng of innocent peoples , women & childrens in this world"
If you are doing war for this purpose so why the hell are you doing opposite work , I mean that Israel Army is killing innocent childrens, womens , people & terrorist are defending their country from this bloodshed & are saving lives of innocent womens & childrens by fight back Which makes Israel Army =terrorist & Terrorists= ARMY
because that is what my logic say What does in your logic is the definition of terrorist & Isreali's

The BIble says that when we die we will stand before God on Judgement day. nothing will be hidden from his eyes. the Ten Comandments will be God's standard, and if we have broken Gods Ten Commandments by lying, stealing, looking with lust etc, we will be found in terrible situation on Judgement day and Lose our soul forever in Hell. however, God loved us so much that he sent his only son Jesus to suffer and die on the cross to pay the penalty for your sins. if you will Confess and repent of your sns once and for all and trust Jesus as your savior, God will forgive you and grant you eternal life.

i saw it on TV that people celebrate the festival by hanging up a donkey-like dummy which's full of candy and a blindfolded kid try to hit it with a stick, when the dummy is finally cracked, the kids will pick up the candy falling out of it. That's very funny custom

I was just asking this as I keep seeing questions and answers that are directed towards the Fundamentalist Christians. I do have these in my family and have no problem or issue with them, but, I am wondering if you have the same problems with those of us not part of this group?

Agnostic/Pastafarian here, not trying to convert anyone. Just a question about the public schools.

Do you believe, as I do, that proponents of Intelligent Design are right in wanting intelligent design put into the curriculum of the public high school science class? Since evolution has never been proven as a fact, there should be intelligent discussion with alternative theories.

I also believe that the students should learn about the Flying Spaghetti Monster, which I believe created the human 4000 years ago. Even thou there is no empirical evidence, no one has ever disproved the existence of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

So I ask, do you believe as I do, that we should teach children about evolution, Intelligent Design, and about the Flying Spaghetti Monster, since none have been proven as fact, and let the children decide.

I am not. I spoke to her for the first time in a long time yesterday, and she is planning to visit my family, which I am happy about, but religion always comes up. I have tried reasoning with her about it, to no avail. How can I, being agnostic, deal with this situation without being offensive? Should I take my ordination as an agnostic priest down? Should I hide who I am to make her happy? I just don't know. Any thoughts? To pre-emt all of the "you should convert" statements, No. I am very secure in my "Truth". I just don't want to be offensive to my Grandmother.

Jesus said in John 11:25-26, “25.Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, 26.and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?"
For verse 25, if we assume Jesus talks about believers in him, those who believed in Jesus conclusively, they all shall arise and join him at his second coming. As with regard to verse 26, Jesus talks about those who are alive and believe in him shall never die. We never heard about any one who has ever escaped death. We know that all living believers had died. What is Jesus talking about in this verse? Please don’t tell me Jesus meant spiritually they will never die, because if He meant spiritually, He should have included the first type also, those who died believing in Him. And don’t tell that Jesus meant that from the moment you believe you start your everlasting life. If that is the case, then why did they die like those who died among the first type of believers?
