Ok this might seem silly but, what is it called when people do the cross on themselves? I mean when you touch your forehead, touch your heart, and touch both of your shoulders? Some people kiss their thumbs afterwards. Is this called doing the "Hail Mary"? I know what the hail mary prayer is, but I wanted to know if crossing yourself like that is called doing the hail mary? If not, what is it called? Thank you! God Bless.

What makes you think a Christan can speak for us? Don't ask us a question if you won't even listen to the answer with an open mind.

I **really** am shocked by something I discovered tonite on accident while looking for a website to report animal neglect. I CANNOT believe people actually do this,think this!This is a post I saw on website:
I am a zoophile.

t is a difficult thing to say. A concept my mind desires to reject and my soul yearns to protect. A module of my very being, carried with me from my early years. An undeniable truth, untold.

Currently in my life I desire nothing more than a canine companion. As a 20-year-old college student, this is difficult to accomplish. Even with a cooperative apartment complex, I could not comfortably adopt a dog without having a yard to share.

And so I must live a year or two more with an unsatiated heart. I dream of being able to lay side by side with that special dog, all my worries being brushed away with each strand of fur against my skin. To fall asleep with her in my arms, our breathing as one. To love.

what cld possibly make someone do this?

How can any religion brand Homosexuals as sinners when modern science has proven that homosexuality is something that a person is born with? its how a persons brain is formed during pregnancy.

My friend has been arguing w/ me over this for days.
I keep saying that there is no Jewish "look" that is reliable, and he says someone w/ her looks but a Germanic name is surely Jewish. He says the same applies to Giada de Laurentiis, if her name was for example "Elena Lutzger", (his choice) most people would think she's a (hot) Jewish girl.

Traditionally, information was not freely available about other religions to general public. Since more and more people started learning about other religions through internet, it is becoming difficult for them to convince that their way is the best way to reach God. Does this explain increased curiosity towards eastern religions like Hinduism and Buddhism in West?

Do you have a testimony about God showing up in your life? Maybe you were doubting God or just going through a hard time, etc and God showed his love to you and performed a miracle in your life. I would love to hear what stories ppl have to share.
