i was really sleepy and just prayed as a habit. then i had this nightmare; where i found a ghost... ( she looked like the ghost in the ring or the grudge) hanging at someone. then she ran to me. but at the end of the dream, i found she changed to a nice pretty girl. i think i've ever seen the part when i found her hanging at someone's shoulders. and the 2nd dream, i was sleeping with my mom and someone that i don't know. out there, outside my room, there was a ghost who looked like a human, ready to kill everyone who found her. i a bit forget, but i think i was holding a light in the bedroom. i don't know why.in the dream, i saw her and i held her hand...,, but she looked okay, except her ghost face. then i was confused between ran to the room or just kept silence and read to be killed.
then.... my alarm rang and i woke up. but i didn't feel scared like if i had nightmares...
do you know what does it mean??
btw, my shoulders are hurt.... (remember, the hanging ghost)

We have two ultimate choices, no? We either value life with a hopeful attitude or despise life with a miserable attitude, no? So God knows if we would prefer eternal life or to cease to exist, right? Knowing what we want and the end we get it. Perhaps God wants us to realize what we really want first, no? My belief is that God in some form does control our life, yet miracuously we'll always get what we'd prefer, depending on our attitude towards life. I believe it's our attitude that God doesn't have control over unless you let him. Sure he knew what your attitude would be, but why not simply enjoy yourself? Does a monkey complain that he is a monkey and has to do what his insticts tell it to do or else it'll die? Come to think of it, I wonder if God's existance even makes any difference with such tehology. That's why i'm agnostic yet i'm thinking of being an atheist, what do you think?

In our Judeo-Christian society, the documents collectively known as the Bible serve as the primary guide on most issues. It is interesting that many Christians take literally the references to homosexual acts, while interpreting other text with great flexibility. One person reported listening to a nationally-known woman speak in her campaign against homosexuality. She spent quite a bit of time quoting impressively from Leviticus. The listener accepted much of what the speaker said until he realized that, by Levitical standards, the crusader herself had broken many biblical laws – she spoke in church (1 Corinthians 14:34), she taught men (1 Timothy 2:12), she was wearing a dress made of cotton and polyester (Deuteronomy 22:11), and others of which he was probably unaware.

What does the Bible really say about homosexuality? Actually, very little. Most significantly, Jesus said nothing at all. Considering the relatively small amount of attention the Bible pays to the subject, we must ask ourselves why this is such a volatile issue. Other subjects about which the scriptures say a great deal (e.g. judgment, pride, hypocrisy) receive much less passionate attention. Before looking at specific passages, it is important to note that everyone understands the scriptures based on, and through, the light of what they have been taught. The Bible was not written in a cultural void, and many of its instructions and laws are simply classified as less relevant today (e.g. prohibition against eating pork).

Nowhere does the Bible actually address the idea of persons being lesbian or gay. The statements are, without exception, directed to certain homosexual acts. Early writers had no understanding of homosexuality as a psychosexual orientation. That truth is a relatively recent discovery. The biblical authors were referring to homosexual acts performed by persons they assumed were heterosexuals.

differentiate between unwashed underwear and unwashed non-underwear if you wish.

I'm 15 and have told my mum, dad and brothers that I'm gay, they were fine about it. I've told my best friend (girl) also and she is totally cool with it, she's glad I told her. I've never had a real gf/bf in the past but I know I'm ready now. 15 is young but the city I live in, it's common for people to loose their virginity at 13/14/15, I'm not trying to be like "everyone else" but I would like to have a bf. I have a bi friend who used to be in my class until he left a few months ago to get a full time job, we talk on msn most nights (yes I have met him...we were in class together) and it is certain he likes me, I like him too and I think he has his suspisions that I'm gay, he's asked me b4 but I just denied it. Most people at school think i'm gay and have been badly bullied because of it, things are sooo much better now and people don't have a problem with me even though I haven't admitted I'm gay. Anyway I want to know how I can ask my Bi friend out and still remain half closeted?

Though born in the U.S., I currently live abroad and don't really miss much. But I thought I would ask this question, because obviously every place has it's good and bad points.

For you, what is:
1) The best thing about living in the U.S. currently
2) The worst thing about living in the U.S. currently

Please keep it to just one of each. Feel free to talk about whatever, but I am looking for more than just something currently inconvenient like "gas prices"--they are high elsewhere, too. Try to keep focused on things specific to the U.S. Thanks. I am very interested to hear what you think!

Do you think I have a valid point? Why do christians primarily focus their attention on the homosexual lifestyle, instead of their own sinning lifestyles?
