I had a very deep subconscious "dream" of some sort that involved about a 2 hour long ritual that had me praying to "Lord Satan", asking him to protect us, our families and home (possessions)guide us, etc. I forget all the particulars, but in the end of the prayer session, it concluded with Jesus Christ or in his "name" and support, as if he were in.

Somehow, within this session of dream or subconsiousness, I figured that Satan and Jesus were working together for one better cause.

Everything within my Christian upbringing says this is wrong, but much of it seems correct in "theory", as if they were working together and one believed in both of them on one team, there could be a better world.

Don't make fun of me. I am not a psycho. I simply want to understand this and if anyone else had similar experiences.

It was done, with the laying on of hands, and not faultering in standing straight and pointing north and chanting and praying over and over until it was perfect.

i live in arlington, virginia, just outside washington, dc, and i'd venture to say that washington, dc would have to rank at the top of the list. it's not a warm and fuzzy place like nashvillle, tennessee, where i went to college.

A Preist and a Baptist minister was pounding a huge sign into the ground near my home. It said: END IS NEAR, turn around before it's too late!
Just then a car flew by and the people inside yelled at them and said: LEAVE US ALONE YOU RELGIOUS NUTS!!!!
Just then they heard a horrible CRASH!!!
Then the Preist said to the Baptist preacher:
Shouldn't we have just said:
Bridge is Out!

By this I mean a competitive race, not a species. My favoutite is the race between Superman and The Flash. My second favourite is dog racing. What is yours?

Also, just to settle it before it starts, The Flash is faster...

...what exactly are those?

My wife has certain abilities, so I know that it is possible to actually be psychic. Some people delude themselves and others try to defraud others for various reasons.

But she is the real deal.

I know there are others of you out there.

I find myself with a bunch of burdens on my shoulders and whenever I've prayed about it, I've still been worrying about it even though I can't control it. Anyone in the same situation or know how you can quit worrying about stupid stuff?

I posted a question about how much money my boyfriend would need to tske to Amsterdam.

In the details I put "Obviously, when the other boys go into strip joints and sex shows, he will stand outside and wait for them, but how much will he need even for the healthy and wholesome stuff?"

Two girls actually replied that they thought my boyfriend might go into the sex shows anyway. No s**t, Sherlock...

Are people really this stupid?

One of the things I notice is the (mis)use of labels. I see the (mis)use of such words as

1. unbeliever
2. nonbeliever
3. atheist
4. christian
5. fundmentalist
6. evolution (ok, im an agnostic evolutionist, who the bleep told anyone the human being is a higher order species that came from a lower order species was a scientific fact, thats about as non science as saying "the human being is complex and requires a designer, theres no higher order of species in objective science!)

--

What I do find interesting, is that many people have a different interpretation of the following, subjective term, which I find most appropriate:

1. God

What do you think, a) what do the words mean, and b)why do so many people butcher the words on the first, and c) why has the human race never made the word(s) on the second list a concise precise definition?

My statement is this...
If anyone ever tried to harm my daughter, much less DO what little Samantha in California and Jon Bonet had to endure, I would hunt them down myself, and make a pair of earings out of his balls for a proper burial. There would be no trial. Only revenge.
There is a special place in Hell I believe for these sickos, and I'd be the first to put in an expresslane!
Don't mess with our kids!!!!!!!!

My husband had a vasectomy, do you think it is wrong in the eyes of God, if so, is it no different than using any form of birth control?

I've read the Bible. I'll admit, I only loosely read Numbers because… it's full of numbers and not much else. I was surprised by how few restrictions are actually in the text and how common sense they are. For this reason I can't understand why all of the anti-religious people are so down on "acting like the Bible tells you to."

God says don't kill each other. Don't steal other people's stuff. Don't sleep with your neighbor's wife - that will cause you problems. Don't eat dead things you find in the woods. Don't hate each other. Don't oppress each other.

Love each other. Take care of each other. Treat each other fairly. When you do something wrong, admit it. When you help other people, you help yourself. Live the way God intended. Love and acknowledge God.

How is any of this wrong? How is any of this illogical or unintelligent? If we would all embrace these concepts wouldn't our lives and our world be 110% better?

I'm guessing that they haven't done their homework. who's illlogical

It's well known that Jesus dies on the cross for the sake of everyone.
It's not apparent to me what Mohammed's contribution is. Could somebody tell me please? I'd really like to know.

I’ve been lurking here for a while and it is an amusing place.

Anyway, in your opinion, which religious group (or non-religious for you agnostics and atheists) appears to be the most supportive, helpful and considerate (to those inside and outside their category)? The Bible talks about knowing people by their fruit, so whose is the sweetest.

I’m asking specifically about behavior here on YA Religion and Spirituality.

Christian (Catholic, Protestant, JW, LDS etc), Muslim, Neo-Pagan (Wiccan, Druid, etc), Jew, Atheist, Agnostic, FSM (But I think this is a sub-set of the atheist/agnostic camp), or someone else I am forgetting.

to jail 4 murder. R u a pro lifer or pro murderer? Give ur reason y u r a pro lifer or pro murderer. Abortion qualifies as a sin. If u can't handle the consequences then give the baby to someone who can't have kids.
