observance Ramadan. What do you think?? I think the media needs to quit messing with the American people's heads. Nobody knows when they will pull their sh*t again. If they did I doubt we the people would be the first to know.

We have had an influx on non-smoking recently being banned from the majority of public places due tot he health risks it poses. Well now that has been implamented should we turn to people who drink. I mean it damages your helth just as much and you very rarekly see a fight outside a club where there thretaning to beat each other up with a cigarette it's usually a bottle. and lest be honest no one has ever fallen over in ther own puke because they OD'd on nicotene that evening.

For me it's drinking or dialling. It's so embarrassing. The things I say... cringe! Or sometimes I don't say anything at all, but then get upset when they say they have to go and ring back as soon as they hang up, even if I'd just said "OK bye".

Just wondering what everyone else's embarrassing drunk habits are so I don't feel like such a freak!

I am a Born again Christian, Baptised in the Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit filled woman of God.
My son Is also, since he was 7 years old.
I know I will get all kinds of answers here, but just remember,I am talking about my son here, he could be your son too.
I know the, Holy BibIe I do believe in it and trust it.
How dose a Christian single mom deal with something like this ?
I love my son, unconditionally, but not this, or any sin.
He's a kind, beautiful person, giving, cool guy.
I have suspected his condition since he was,1 year old, and now he is 16. He likes girls too, so he's bi-sexual.
Many ministers say this is a choise, a not a behavour,I use to believe this too,but now I don't know.
I am confussed, and this I know is Not of God.
Born again, Holy Spirit filled Christians, of gay kids,friends and family members need only to answer this.
Only if you are in my shoes could you possible understand. By the way, this applies to Jewish, and Muslims also.
Help....

Many years ago some over-religious people thought that if they convince the virgin girls to slaughter them in a special occasion they can approach GOD and they did it and beheaded the girl and the girl was happy sometimes!!! because she thought the religious people were true and they she never married even she was horny and in need of sex but accepted this destiny to gift her blood. do you have any information about this history? i collect it.

Hi, I have recently learned that for millions of people the bible is FACT, and that every word in it is true. Furthermore, many people say that the Bible is full of prophesies, ( i.e., book of Revelation, etc) , unfortunately God has chosen- for reasons best known to himself- to make these prophesies rather obscure and hard to understand.

Can someone give me an example of a prophesy from the bilble which was written in CLEAR, UNEQUIVOCABLE terms and which has come to be true?

Muslims boast, brag, and proudly claim that THEIR religion is the fastest growing religion in USA. I checked it out, and guess what? It appears to be just another Muslim LIE!!!

Look at these figures

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_United_States#Religious_affiliation

Which religions are growing faster than Islam in USA?
Isn't it interesting that Hinduism is growing more than twice as fast as Islam? How do you Muslims explain this? Is it just another "Jewish conspiracy"?

Or is this just the proclaimed apocalypse in complex metaphorical translation?
I want to know how God will keep the earth inhabitable when so far when he hasn't done much to even prove his existance. I believe he's up there probably still working some miracles but he's just given up on our pathetic human race. Probably waiting for us to die so he can start all over again like he did with the dinosaurs.

Many years ago I attended a witches covern, but the witch that organised it has to move away and since college and then full-time work it got pushed to the back.

I've always been very spiritual since various experiences as a child, and I am keen to start practicing wicca again.

I'd like to know how this has changed the life of other witches?

If we analize the death of Jesus we can see that he knew he will die and he didn't prevent it. He actually commit a suicide. He chosed death and not life.

by telling atheists they are going to hell is insulting them or scaring them? you might as well tell them the boogey man is going to get them. if you tell them that after you get control of the government through bribery, blackmail and insideous pressure, your 'christiban' regime will burn them publically for heresey on a pyre of books and works of art you might get some results. but that would be letting the cat out of the bag. ps would you let cats out of bags , as they are witches familiars would they have to burn too.
