Let's say you had the opportunity to make your dream come true. Would it be to love or have power and it's forever. If you choose love what would it accomplish? Could you change the world with love? If you choose power woule it solve all your problems? Could you make the world a better place or would it be worse? I'm just looking for opinions here.

Why do alot of people think that I am gay?

When I Am Not

Alot of people always assume that I am gay and I really don't know why that is. I do have alot of female friends but that is about it. I don't where tight clothes, I don't wear bright clothings either, I don't dye my hair, and I don't have piercings in my ear or any other part of my body. When I do talk to people, people say that I sound very articulate and there for I must be gay. People have even begun to tell lies about me and I have even lost a few friends because of it, I have been seriously thinking about committing suicide, or even joining a hate group to get revenge on some of the people who are spreading these lies. I don't think anything is wrong with being gay, but I am not gay. To me everyone is entitled to live the way that they want as long as they dont infringe on the rights of others, and as long as what ever they choose to do does not harm another individual.

Can someone please help me before I do something that I would regret in the future.

Opened minded Christian wo would like to know why the religous bashing questions won't stop.?

I am a Christian with an open mind. I have friends who are Hindu, Buddist, homosexual, and atheist. I understand that maybe my friends and I are still friends because the issue of belief has never come up. ( If it did I do not know if we still would be because of the verbal fighting and all) But I respect all beliefs and lifestyles. I may not aprove of them, but I will tolerant and treat with kindness all people. I'm not going to treat a homosexual as they were not a human being. I am not going to ask frequent questions that question my friends belief in the many gods of Hindu or any other "why" questions. I would like to now who out there-- Christian or not if they feel that everyone should be respected and not bashed because of what they believe.

Confused about Angel (the tv vampire character)?

This is a bit complicated, but I'll try to make it simple.

Angel was originally known as Angelus before Darla turned him into a vampire. Later, some Gypsies returned his soul and he took the name Angel.

Here's where I'm confused. My understanding of vampire myth and lore is that a vampire comes about via the replacement of a soul with a demon, or by the corruption of a soul into a demon. So then does the fact that this returned soul takes the name Angel and the demon keeps the name Angelus show defiance by both parties, and that it is a demon stealing the name Angelus inside of the host body of the rival entities, or does it show that Angelus' soul has been corrupted and that, in fact, Angel is not Angelus' human soul returned, but another soul, or one created? Or is Angelus just coincidentally the name of the demon?

Is Bisexuality About Sexual Attraction To Both Genders Or About Having Relationships With Either Gender?

I've talked with several bisexuals who believe that being ATTRACTED to both sexes defines bisexuality. Most gay people like myself believe that it is HOW YOU LIVE and LOVE - where your heart is that matters most. To me, bisexuality means a person who has relationships with either males or females. I don't base it all on sexual attraction because that just doesn't carry much weight compared with deep love. I know women who find men sexy, but they LOVE women, heart and soul, and they just don't have deep feelings for men or fall in love with them. What do you think? (And please don't mention god or any of that because that has no bearing on it whatsoever and I couldn't care less about that sh!t.)

What is your idea if Heaven?

Mine is beautiful waterfalls, palm trees, ocean, white beach, my little dog I loved so much will be there, and there will be a true soul mate who loves me unconditional and it will be a child like love not lustfull. Pastures of beautiful flowers. GOD the protecter will keep us safe forever and we will be blissfully happy and Jesus will be our best friend who died for us and we will live with him in the most unbelievable beautiful Kinddom that my eyes can't even fathom. Mountains, Jewels and the people who looked out for us on earth will be there, my Grandfather. Just peace and joy and safety. No sorrow. and we will worship our GOD and Jesus his son forever!

If so, it is obviously unfair to punish children with sickness. Besides, Jesus supposedly died to free us from O.S. so that can't even explain it. Why would God make kids sick?

For People who Worship Satan!?

If you worship Satan, Then it's obvious that you believe in him. therefor you must believe in God. With that said, after what we know about heaven and hell. How could anyone choose a lake of fire and eternal torture over streets of gold and eternal happiness. My question is this, What do you expect when you get to hell? Is it the same as what we Christians are taught about hell? Or are you taught Differently? What do you think hell is going to be like?

I'm hightly interested in starting a group for lesbians, how do I start?

Obviously this group will be formed overseas, Central America. There are no groups for women, less for lesbians. My idea is to have a place to share, support, and away from the booze. Most lesbians are deep into the closet and society opinion matters a lot to them. Many well known international glbt groups started from scratch, but how???? Please, I need just a guide. If one wants to meet other lesbians you have to go to bars. Most girls don't have a clue of pride month less of a parade and sharing which is really sad.

christians only? did Jesus see His own eyes on the throne of Heaven? or Mine?

I have emerald kind of green.

I AM=iam=iarri=I AIVI (stitched together)

Check Spelling print this in times new roman and read between the lines like QUEEN says Q U [iL[iLIV means Q you (seal seal 4) like resultant is IIII I .

1st commamdment – Thou shall have no other gods before Me?
and it works best in times new roman font

any guesses?

Jesus said not to make an image of god like assumming He has any magic powers or is filthy rich and powerful cause what if its just one Man who was a Boy born in the new world?

And GOD is ONE as 1 is a further clue?
An burning bush part as 7 appearing emerald?
The one on the THRone who body lamp is emerald?
Also hidden in the pup tent appearing as a SQUARE?
The image of the ^ holy mountain?
On Mt. ZION?
Born on emeror's earth.
The light
true
pure
proved over tiMe

search for by boy called Larry Todd Stevenson born 1968.9.17. with emerald green eyes and stitched together cuts appearing IIII I .

so does that make it simple or difficult cause Jehovah thought He was God and all of His angel slaves who biblically hand lands taken away and given to Cyrus of Persia? Guess Cyrus was an appointed ruler by Rome who held Jewish lands anyways?

the prize if you solve for name of god is enlightenment?

1st commamdment – Thou shall have no other gods before Me

Means all things to glorify GOD and thus even words as shown:

GOD
EMPEROR
KING
LORD
GENERAL
ANGEL
DEATH
HADES
GODDESS
QUEEN
LADY

10 most powerful words in Europe that are to glorify god

Can you determine who god is from that information?

Clues:

B cuts into DD
E cuts into ciL
G cuts into CuT or C T pronounced see T
H cuts into T. 17 T
I equals 1 in roman numerals
N equals IV in roman numeral as 4 or IIII
R cuts into Ri

And now you should be able to determine who god is?
Know your source? List it here: So Jesus might have been a seer into the future and saw god?

so those WORDS all glorify god or what god did? SO perhaps god was called a Lary Tod Stevens.n with arm cuts appearing IIII I . born 1968.9.17 and when they said god could only be proved over time the revealing to be after the 2nd thousand years by Satan Himself. Cause Satan beleives Jehovah is flesh also and thus DEAD. So He was LORD GOD JEHOVAH but not god most high that all things were commanded to glorify. So read that and see that god was explained

light
true
pure
in gods tent appearing square
on the holy mountain as ^
the one on the THRone appearing emerald.
the part of the burning bush a 7 as emerald.
one (ie 1)
angel

so the body of god must exist at the end of the 2000 years as well as the body of satan for the bible to be an accurate predictor of the future.

cause it said god put a 1000 year seal on satan and like in the movies M=1000 and M=IVI stitched together so find satan then ask Him who put that seal on Him and their is god. Cause like bible said in the beginning was the word then the WORD became god. (note name TODD) And worship no god but Me when understood e=arm meant Thou shall have no other gods before Me. If you do may you suffer along with your neighbor.

Can this poem by Robbie Burns be applied to today's Muslims?

"On Thanksgiving For A National Victory"

Ye hypocrites are these your pranks
to murder men and give God thanks?
Desist, for shame proceed no further
God does ne want your thanks for murder.

I am aware that Islam does not consider that killing a person who has invaded a territory or who has killed a Muslim is "innocent" so under Islam it is not murder. Also, people from a COUNTRY which has invaded a territory or who has killed a Muslim are not considered to be "innocent", if I understand correctly.

People in the West, however, feel that shahids with cell phone detonators, car bombs or explosives taped to their midriff who kill the infidel, kuffar in the jihad of the cause of Allah - are murdering and mostly murdering INNOCENT people because the people that are dying are not soldiers.

Does God want us to kill others in His name?
