(Okay, I can just see some of you groaning over this question). I see that some people who practice Wiccan religion (or at least are familiar with it) believe that there is a God and Goddess.

If you look at the book, The DaVinci Code, it alludes to the fact that the holy grail really was Mary Magdalene who bore a child for Jesus named Sarah. The book also alludes that there is a God and Goddess in "the true God-like faith"

So does that mean that Dan Miller is trying to convince people that God supports the Wiccan religion????

Someone said this:

"First, you had better understand what an advocate is. It is like being a lawyer. You represent whomever you are defending. Now, if being a devil's advocate is not supporting the devil, what is it?"



My question is this:

How can a person be THIS stupid, and yet somehow remember to breathe at regular intervals?

I heard from a former boss that there is this custom Japanese people have of exchanging and giving little gifts. It includes giving away gifts that you received from others, like you receive the little item (a fancy paperweight or a small vase or small piece of art or whatever), you keep it and use and enjoy it for awhile, then on another occasion you give it to someone else. It's like a long-standing tradition of re-gifting by passing things along over and over. Is there a name for this custom?

I'm talking specifically about those relating to September 11. It happened 5 years ago when the towers fell. Suddenly EVERYONE was flying a flag--off their front porch, off their car, flag bumper stickers, "Proud to be American" t-shirts, etc. It eventually died down. Why? If you're that proud, shouldn't you show it always? I noticed something similar here, as well. There were a barrage of 09/11 questions ON 09/11, but I haven't seen any since then. Why?

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me
For i must be travelling on now
There's too many places I gotta see
And if I stay here with you girl
Things just wouldn't be the same
For I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change
And the bird you cannot change
And the bird you cannot change
Lord knows I can't change

Bye bye it's been sweet love
Though this feeling I can't change
Please don't take it so bad now
Cause lord knows I'm to blame

And if I stay here with you girl
Things just couldn't be the same
For I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change
And the bird you cannot change
And the bird you cannot change
Lord knows I can't change

The pope quoted from a book recounting a conversation between 14th-century Byzantine Christian Emperor Manuel Paleologos II and a Persian scholar on the truths of Christianity and Islam.

"The emperor comes to speak about the issue of jihad, holy war," Benedict said. "He said, I quote, 'Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.'"

Now they're going to blow something up and prove him right. Muslims say terrible things about every other belief system in the world. Hey, I have an idea.... Let's fight about who's imaginary friend is better!

Well if the story of Adam and Eve, mankind, being decieved by the devil, as the story goes to believe that by
'taking of the tree of knowledge they would be like God to know the difference between good and evil'...what newly discovered deception may prove that the original sin is still with us....by the way, Muslims, Jews and Christians all believe in this same story...

There is a little old lady down the street from me who has recieved notice from the city to remove her statue of Jesus from her side yard or to put it behind a fence. The statue has been there some 40 years, and there is no city ordinace against such a thing. Infact, the lady across the street from her has three deer in her front yard. What do you think the motivation is behind the city's demand?

for one i would like to point out that Barabbas wasn't a common thug. like some of the gospels make him out to be the Romans would have never held just a common criminal. they would have let the Jewish laws take care of him. he was a freedom fighter it would be like asking u if u wanted to free me or Michel Jordan.

We're both new and do work in a confined space. Every statement or question is judgemental. She won't relax & be social. If you have a question, she says she doen't know. If you make a comment, her response always has to do with Jesus.

She also claims to be "pro-black", and always concerned about the white folks trying to fire us. She always has an answer, finishes the supervisors sentence when she asks a question.

Seems to me she kisses a** more than anyone! How do I get along without having a stroke???

I have been trying to get an answer from some Muslims for quite some time, but they themselves do not know. I read a book called "Islam Revealed" I forgot the name of the author, I read this book almost ten years ago; this book exposed so many things about the prophet Muhammed, when confronted with execerps from the book, many Muslims evaded the questions. Has anyone else out there read the book?

El país que tengo es Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico está parado para el puerto rico.
Esto es porque es una parada muy valiosa para las exportaciones y los inports. El artículo que tengo dice que este país desea ser independiente.
Porque Puerto Rico es parte de los Estados Unidos.
Tendrán reuniones para discutir esto.
Eso es básicamente sobre cuál está mi artículo.

There's so many different religions and just in Christianity look at all of the different groups. So if you read the bible for yourself, what do you believe? Has anyone changed their minds and decided that they dont' agree with what they were taught? What was it you disagreed with that made you switch?
