Years ago, through years of soul searching I discovered that I was a dragon in a past life. I consider that my soul or spirit is that still today. I consider myself to be a dragon, even though I am in a human body, do regular human things, and live a normal human life. I do hope in the future to be a dragon once again, but have my doubts that the opprotunity will ever arrise. My question is, from all the other dragons I hear that almost everyone has some sort of problem with us beliving this, but why? What makes you think that you can tell us who we are? Is what we are harming you in some way, because I doubt it, so why is it a problem?

I expect a lot of religious answers saying its somehow a sin, or that God doesn't think its good. That and that dragons aren't real.

Religious answers: God loves all, I am a Christian, and I don't see how my thinking what I am affects anything with my standing with God.

Real: All those planets, and dimensions make it impossible? Right...

For many today, the study of history is incorporated with the ideas that there is no God, miracles are not possible, we live in a closed system and there is no supernatural. With these presuppositions they begin their "critical, open and honest" investigation of history. When they study the life of Christ and read about His miracles or resurrection, they conclude that it was not a miracle or a resurrection because we know (not historically, but philosophically) that there is no God, we live in a closed system, miracles are not possible and there is no supernatural. Therefore, these things cannot be. What men have done is to rule out the resurrection of Christ even before they start an historical investigation of the resurrection. These presuppositions are not so much historical biases but, rather, philosophical prejudices.


This pretty much sums up my opinion about how the Bible and anything related to Christianity is handled.

Christians don't live what they preach.

Why did religion and the concept of God get such popularity among human beings?

From the days of cavemen religion has played a big part of humanity.

Is it because of any/some/all of the following or something entirely different?

1) Man needed hope. The concept of God looking after us is a big hope isn't it?

2) Man is afraid of death. So, if there was no God, there would be no heaven. If there is no heaven then that means there is no after-life.

3) A tool to control society. i.e. what Da Vinci code proposes. Religion was created to control a group of people.

4) There was actually a son of God who taught his followers to love. i.e. The story of Jesus is indeed mostly true.

I personally think it is because humans fear death and they needed a concept of God to battle the inevitability of death.

What do you think?

I was curious, but I'm about to graduate and enter real world. I keep hearing from people, "after college, life goes downhill...physically and emotionally." Well, that doesn't sound very exciting.

There's just so many religions out there and so many different lifestyles...different gods/goddesses and such...I mean why Christianity? Why is it like everywhere I go ppl hate/denounce Christians? Even in my fav. bookstores I see stuff and I'm like..what the heck? I sound so immature because I will admit, when it comes religion, I sort of am. Plz don't yell at me lol I'm so confused about everything...and I'm so confused about heaven, but that's another story... someone talk to me please?

they showed two identical twin brothers, one of them gay one of them straight. it had nothing to do with nuture, they were simply born that way. there was another set of fraternal twins, probably about 6 years old. one kid believes that he is supposed to be a girl. he plays with dolls, and has no problem with any of it. the other boy loves trucks and video games.

check out the link, i would love to hear people's reactions to it!

nothing nasty please..i would like for this to be a civil discussion

due to pressure brought by many muslim clerics, indian government declared that singing vande mataram, which means worshiping mother land , is not mandatory. when questioned some muslim clerics like shahi abdulla bukhari of delhi , told the reporters that a true muslim should not worship his/ her mother land. he /she can worship only allah.is praising mother land unislamic? but some muslims expressed a different view that it is not unislamic. which view is correct?

Please be rational to explain it.
I just came across religious people talking "science" and their faith.
for example: cause of tumor and diease, cause of bad luck, cause of human disaster and etc.

If Islam is the true religion, then how does Muslims spread the news to the Kafirs, Infidels and unbelievers? I haven't really seen any activity from the Muslim community which suggest this. Unless you are born into a Muslim family then you will know of the religion otherwise you are really condemned. Is there any part of the Quran which commands Muslims to tell of the message in the Quran?

Most of what I know is very contrary, that you should 'fight' against the Kafirs, Infidels and Unbelievers.

as they do pushing their own agendas and religous beliefs on each other the human race would be far far better off. if you think this is true than WHY DON'T YOU DO IT. drop your bibles and pick up your fellow man.
