For all intents and purposes, normality is not always seen the same way by everyone.Much like morality, normality is often defined by society and/or those whom you surround yourself with and/or your personal beliefs.

But, really, what is normal?How can we define normal when normal for us may not be normal for someone else?Do you believe your normal is the only normal?Do you think someone else might see you as abnormal?

How do you define normal?

My husband was watching a documentery about some workers in India. They had a very dangerous job (breaking up ships). One husband told his wife not to wear her bindi during the day only at night when she saw that he got home alive. It left me wondering what a bindi was and what it signifies. Anybody from that culture here that knows the answer? Appretiate your help!

I am Christian and I can say that the way I believe makes me feel good about myself because I feel like I am doing something for the good of myself and my family.I am helping my family have morals and live life happy.I'm not perfect but really who is?I feel like I can acomplish anything.My heart feels great because this religion helps me not be hatefull or judge people and it makes me happy.Whats so wrong with a religion that makes people happy and doesn't condone violence or anything immoral?I was a full atheist just 5 years ago.

Thank you Jesus for everthing in my life,bless these people who need blessings in their life and the ones who have bitterness in their lives.Bless those who have been hurt in life and bless those who want or are trying to change their life for the better.Lord bless the people who are about to write something mean,or attack my Christian religion.I forgive them.In Jesus name-AMEN

The nine gifts of the Spirit are listed in (1cor 12:8-11)
For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom;
to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts
of healing by the same Spirit; to anohter the working of
miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of
spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the
interpretation of tongues: But all these worketh the one
and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally
as he will.
The gifts of the Spirit show the power of God while the
fruit of the Spirit shows the character of God. There are
some of God's power that He cannot entrust us with if
we do not have His character. In order to have more of
the operation of God's power in our lives, we must first
seek His character.(Gal 5:22)
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance:
against such there is no law.
The fruit of the Spirit balances the Gifts of the Spirit.
There are nine Gifts and there are nine Fruits.

Where in the Bible does it state pre-marital sex, masturbation, and homosexuality are sins?

Include a quote from the Bible, as I do not own one.

I asked this before and I'm not looking for attention. I don't want links that are supposed to lead me into believing there is proof of Jesus's existance. All I want to know is how we know what Jesus looked like and if we don't then why did we give him a face?

To keep the population down, should there be annual wars involving stupid people? We could even have different styles of warfare: ancient, roman, medieval, imperial, WW2, modern, etc. Just chuck all the over population people/people we don't like in and put them on different teams...

After reading a question posted by a person asking what a Primitive Baptist Church was I thought now that a Primitive Baptist is on here I better see if anyone seeks enlightenment. Have you heard of it? Do you know what is different about us? Would you know us if you saw us on the street? Chances are the answers to all those questions is NO. So if you partook of any discussions on Primitive Baptists and would like to actually find out what it is feel free to email me. The contact info is on my profile..........yeah, I know the witch thing threw you huh!

Now that the most of my heartache is over (and although it's been 8 months and I still miss him a lot) I've followed some advice about keeping myself preoccupied and meeting new friends and going out and having fun and all that... When does the heartache really just go away and not think of him?

Also - I've got so many male friends (girls seem to be quite cautious of me and some find me intimidating) I am currently the only girl in a group of 5/6 guys? I feel so OUT sometimes? How can I keep this from happening????? Why are girls so 'carefull' of me? I know I am quite attractive but that doesn't mean I can't be a friend?!!!

Somebody HELP ME PLEASE?

I ask this because in society it is often accepted as normal for two heterosexual women to hold hands and nothing is said because if they are friends then no big deal.Right?So why is it ok for them to do it but two heterosexual men doing it would be seen as "gay" or "weird"?Now I know that chances are that if two men were holding hands they are in fact gay.But why is that?And when did society get so hung up on how humanity interacts with each other based on what sex you are?
