Were they capable of communicating with God? Were they forced to create imaginare stories to scare people on earth? What level was their education? These mysteries need to be unsolved.

I love God and I'm a Christian. I have accepted and believe. I pray every moment but...for some reason I only really feel it at night when I finish devotions. Does someone have an answer?

What would you consider the best sound you've ever heard?

Mine is a baby's laughter. I don't have kids, I don't want kids...but I've heard them laugh or when they are learning to laugh(nephews) and it really does kick ***. it is one of the best sounds I've ever heard...

I would not admit this in person though...



I had trouble placing this question in a category, if ya think of a better one let me know...

The state which has at various times been called Divine Inspiration, a Relationship with Jesus, or Nirvana is in fact caused by a release of some dopamine and serotonin ("the opiate of the masses"). It gets you a little high, makes you feel good. I'm wondering why that is. What possible edge for survival led our ancestors to develop this trait? We all know that religion is a tool of those in power; that's why it has stuck around throughout recorded history. But how did it get there in the first place?

[Note: If you think you can answer this with a scriptural quote, then you did not understand the question.]

I myself, have practiced Wicca since the 1980's. Because of its premise of being balanced, love of Nature, honor of the MOther Goddess and the Feminine, I had assumed that it was alignment with the kind of Peace Love and Kindness of the Hippies of the 60's. Unfortunately I have found many who feel we should fight and hate each other such as the witch wars etc. Who would like to see it in the more peaceful light, sort of like Eastern thought.

Go around asking people for hand-outs?
Live off of wel-fare when we don't need it?
And say we use the race card so much?
They literally lump all the blacks together and say we all do these things?

And then they have the nerve to say, we aren't getting discriminated against anymore..

He is from northern Africa. Morocco I think. Speaks me scripturs from the book of Qur'an, in both english and islam. His mother and father I know little about. He is taking care of them because they are older, and can not work. The only thing I know for certain, is his parents told him it was difficult to find a muslim where we lived, and it would be ok to date. No he is not the older style of Muslim. He does fast for ramadan. He definatly does Salat, I have been hung up on the phone because he needed to pray. I consider the religion because of some of the faults that christianity has.

It is the religious belief of Muslims that non-muslims (Yahood-o-Nasara) cannot be the friends of Muslims. Muslims also believe that not being friends mean enemies.

Is it possible for you to fall in love with the opposite sex?

I am bi and I just don't see the point in limiting yourself. Yes, you will probably always have feelings for the same sex I know this. But that doesn't mean that people that are hetero or homo won't ever have attractions to other people as well. What's your take on this. What if love just came up and slapped you in the face with someone from the opposite sex, what would you do? Would you be happy?

I am just curious. Some of us believe in reincarnation. Some even claimed to remember their past lives and recognise some people from their past lives in this lives.

Does anyone of you people there remember the intermediate stage after your death and just before you are born.

What is it like?

Did you see your god?

"And they called Barnabas Zeus and Paul Hermes.

Then the priest of Zeus , which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done service with the people."

"And the dusciples were called Christians first in Antioch."

Are the above Bible quotations or straight from Greek fables and mythology?

(1) "And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice but seeing no man."

(2) "And I fell to the ground......and they that were with me saw indeed the light , but they heard not the voice."

(3) "And when we were all fallen to the earth."

Above are Paul's three accounts of the same dream or drunkenness with the Bible providing witnesses with Paul who heard no evil, saw no evil, and could not give any evidence at all.

Is this Bible or Greek fables and mythology.

"And his face did shine as the Sun, and his garment was white as the Light...exceeding white as Snow."

Is that Zeus or the Son of Zeus in the Bible?

It's been put in my heart to address the issue of god's mercy and his judgement. I feel like as christians today, many expect god to bless their own ambitions, and fail to honeslty seek after him to really* know who god is. But i honeslty believe that churches need to not adapt to the 21st generation, as in this big megaplex churches that preach an inspirational doctrine without conviction, yes they may reach some people who may have never known god and i'm not to judge, but* I do believe you have to enforce the point that god will judge, and we as christians have to actaully love god/therefore wanting to follow his laws and thus being rewarded with eternity in heaven. I just think alot of christians today dont know who he is, and i say this because i'd say 85 percent of my christian friends..mix the oc/rap music and other sinful things with saying they are christian, and those 2 hearts do not align..

anyone agree with me on this aspect?

This is an issue that the bible conrtradicts itself on. According to christians, Jesus was god in human form, right? So that would mean that Jesus = God. But then, it also says that jesus was god's only son? how could he be his son, and him at the same time? did god create jesus? or was jesus god? and if jesus was god, then wouldn't god be your savior, since they're the same?

I see on here all the time whites today tell blacks to get over history and to forget about it. What is so special about blacks today or in the past they never wanted them to know. I read that blacks would be kill in some case for remembering their past. Today it seem whites get frustated when blacks discuss their history.

What is it that they didn't want them to know then or now?
