I have seen her on the "West Wing" TV show but one TV interview really made me a fan. If I could have a better mind and body, Hers would do {and no nasty comments please, I'm sensitive!!!!"

I believe so, thus, do we really need religions to teach us morals? I never got anything out of the religious teachings I was subjected to. I found them flawed even at the age of 8.

Do you believe people were truly lost before written words that carried so much underlying hate?

i am a well travelled westerner and would like to ask you people a question that has been haunting me for years. i find that a lot of people nowadays are joining very extremists Religious groups, and that has become more of a fashion. mormon, hare krishna, bagawan sects, islam, fundamentalist christian and buddhist groups are doing good business. so many other small cults are flurishing too.
when i was studing philosophy this is what a teacher told me about fundamentalism. since science and new knowledge has wiped out practically every religious belief, people have lost hope and think that by been more extremist that some how or other God may become a reality to them

but no longer can we believe in a supreme god who controls the universe and life, can we?

Well I was going to say No and give a big answer to Why.

But after I saw this, I thought I would get a second opinion.

Compared to how old other world religions are, Wicca is still a new religion. So, how can there be a new Wicca?

This is pretty coincidential.... or well planned - not
sure how you'd look at it.

Make sure you do the microsoft word thing at the end

Read this...

Weird 9/11 facts...

1) New York City has 11 letters

2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.

3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to
destroy the Twin Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.

4) George W Bush has 11 letters.

5) The two twin towers make an "11"

This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more
interesting:

1) New York is the 11th state.

2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers
was flight number 11.

3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11

4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying
65 passengers. 6+5 = 11

5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is
now known. 9 + 1+ 1 = 11

6) The date is equal to the US emergency services
telephone number 911. 9 + 1 + 1 = 11.

Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own
mind:

1) The total number of victims inside all the
hi-jacked planes was 254. >2 + 5 + 4 = 11.

2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar
year. Again 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.

3) The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 +
1 + 2 + 4 = 11.

4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the
Twin Towers incident.

Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own
mind: Now this is where things get totally eerie:

The most recognised symbol for the US, after the Stars
& Stripes, is the
Eagle. The following verse is taken from the Quran,
the Islamic holy book:

"For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a
fearsome Eagle. The
wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands
of Allah and lo,
while some of the people trembled in despair still
more rejoiced: for the
wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and
there was peace."

That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.

Still uncovinced about all of this..?! Try this and
see how you feel afterwards, it made my hair stand on
end:


Open Microsoft Word and do the following (TRY THIS FOR
REAL)

1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number
of the first plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.

2. Highlight the Q33 NY.

3. Change the font size to 48.

4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS 1

scary huh??

I mean our president already talks to Jesus.
The republican's court the right wind fundamentalist christians and the rest of Americans who vote for them don't mind, or are too blind with fear to object to the one sided policies.

If we were a Christian Nation then we could persecute homosexuals openly, oppose stem cell research (it kills babies) yet wage war day and night (Jesus don't mind killin infidel babies) in God's name.

Well, what do you think?

We have FAITH IN THE AMERICAN SPIRIT which is designed for FREE-Thinking Men-unlike you who have to have yourself conditioned to follow a 2000 year old manifest that speaks to kings of kings for a KING that the US escaped from to begin with. So my faith is in my fellow American and that he will fight with me once again to KILL your manifest at the doors of Justice before it is brought forth as LAW unto a land of FREEDOM. Your God is THE SLAVE DRIVER AND YOU CALL HIM MASTER!-and his whip is HELL because he punishes those that do not do his will-BIG MAN oh I mean God-and this coming from a scrawny lil fairy you called Jesus and hung around with fraidy cats (John was so afraid he denied him thrice-so why wasn't God keeping him strong then?) Faith in your lil book-that calls YOU a SINNER-not me baby-I am a MAN Free in a world to LOVE Life! Liberty and the pursuit of happiness-you persue escape from hell and will put all of mankind through it so be true to yourselves and your fellow AmerI

So many blindly follow religious beliefs that have no reason and hurt other people. What's the point of following a belief if it has no reason besides the fact that you were told to do so? i.e. a belief that women are weaker than men, or those who blindly follow every word of the Bible, Do people like that just have no independent thought or ability to reason things out? After all, is following the words of God verbatim without questioning them sensible, and is it even compassionate since they discriminate so much since they were written in the time when slavery was legal and wifes were property? Oh and to all of those out there who will tell me "You're going to hell" or things like that... I appreciate you proving my point.

Heard around the water cooler and was wondering if this is common, or if the guys I work with are just crazy? Guys mentioning that when they shower with their wive's or girfriend's, that the pee on their gals backs in the shower. Do you think this is a common occurance, and has anyone brave enough to admit they tried this? I think it is more funny than gross personally.. This isn't an everyday thing though, just once in a blue moon, and mostly to see if their significant other's can notice or not.... Thoughts????

I have a very good friend that I have known for about a year. During this year we have helped each other through some very difficult times. My husband told her husband something and her husband swore her to secrecy that she would not tell me and she told me and swore me to secrecy that I would not tell my husband where I got the information and I did because me and my husband tell each other everything and now he is threatening to go to her husband. So all four of us is trapped in this THING all keepings secrets from each other. And I have a range of emotions going through me right now and I don't know what to do about all of this. Please give me your best advice on this??!!

of our fallen soldiers. There was a Baptist church from Kansas that brought their parishioners to Nebraska this week to protest at a funeral of a fallen soldier and the signs that they held up were just awful!!!! I feel so bad for the family that had to witness this. Can there be anything that is more UN-GOD like? Is this a sin in God's eyes?

trust me i am not racist, and i don't expect to be treated any different than anybody else, but, i always feel like an immigrant must feel in a room full of caucasian Americans, when i go into a convenience store operated by East Indians or Pakistanis..I don't have that feeling when i go into a Safeway or other store with caucasian employees...I always try and be courteous when i am paying for my paper, or coffee, or whatever i am buying but i don't sense the same courtesy extended back to me...a lot of the time they are on a cell phone and just take my money and hand the change back without so much as a "thank you".....i don't expect to be gushed over, but i would like courtesy returned with courtesy extended...too much to ask for?

I believe this gift is there for all to use, it works either way, as long as the one saying the prayer, or the one receiving has faith, it could be either one or both. I like to try it somemore, I've seen miracles happen through Jesus Christ.
