I'm a 31 year old man who is sick and tired of feeling intimidated by aggressive people. Physically I have the appearence of a strong man, but mentally and emotionally I feel like a dog with his tail between his legs. People (particularly aggressive people) can suconsciously pick up on this, and use it to walk all over me, knowing that I'm too scared to empower myself and stand up against their oppression. I DONT WANT TO LIVE LIKE THIS ANY MORE!!!!. What can I do about this? Is there anyone out there who can really REALLY help me? Living like this is like living in a self-imposed prison, and it's a nightmare! I don't want to become a bully, I just want to feel GENUINELY empowered and able to take care of myself when I need to. I don't want to be anyone's doormat NO MORE!! Someone, somewhere show me the way please!!!

Can voodoo spells and curses be done with just a photo of someone and is it for real or does it only work if the one who is being cursed believes in it?

I am trying to find proof that they are the same person. It is no surprise to me that there is no historical reference of Jesus (a carpenter) using a hand-saw to cut wood. Could it be that he was too busy Karate chopping the wood in half, and had no need to use the saw?

The Quran was revealed to Muhammad, a man of 40 at that time that was known for his good character, he was also known as the 'Honest and trustworthy'. He was an orphan, and no one taught him to read or write. One day he returns from his meditiation shiverring, very scared, and telling his only wife about the angel that came to him and told him to 'Read, Read in the name of your lord that has created, Created man from a clot (of blood)...' As the time passes and more of the Quran is revealed, the arabs are fascinated with the Quran, which lead to many of them becoming Muslims. The style of the Quran is very unique and beautiful, it makes sense and rhymes too. The Quran has details about things that happened and things that are to happen. For example, the Quran narrates about Jesus and his mother Mary,peace be upon them. Many other Prophets are also narrated about in the Quran. In the Quran God tells us he sent the Book to Jesus and Moses, and those who believed in it are of the pious...

That certain people come on here to be abusive.... like mmmk92? She is acting like she has friends that are gay but she doesn’t... She once again is in love with a man who dumped his boyfriend to marry her.... She seems to think he will remain "str8ght" in fact we all know that she would be marring a bisexual man..... She is not cool with any gay people.. She is there to brain wash them into believing they are abusing there bodies.... Even thought her man will be pretending that he is with a man, that’s if he can even be intimate with her....... So please go through her questions and please give me your opinion on why she would have to be so mean to everyone on here?

I understand why most don't like them, Porn ruins some families. BUT, what about a married couple who go to those shops to keep their sex life interesting. In that context it keeps those families together. WHat are your thoughts about it? Please, if you don't want to answer go to another question and don't report me, this is a serious question. Thanks.

ok. "Christian" is your keyword tht you look 4 to get on here and vent at 'non-christians' (ppl who don't follow your creed & say what you want to hear); & that includes your saying our Q is due to anger, or frustration, or hatred. Well, once again, you're are WRONG. i.e., just to be sick of being on the receiving end of your wrath and indignation, is just that...bng sick of it--it doesn't mean anything else. Jesus never intended for his followers to be that way...so all of you Rntrs+Rvrs---DO as you PREACH or you will REAP what you SOW. *END* (I will not be responding to this---or picking an A or getting notices). Non of U are worth the time. (talk amounst urselves).

Why are christians allowed to use their religious writings (the bible) as "proof" of their god's power and existence BUT I can't use religious writings (ancient egyptian hieroglyphs which predate christianity by thousands of years) as proof of the power and existence of Egyptian gods?

Why is it that followers of my religion, built the greatest structure ever known to man (the great pyramid) thousands of years before jesus (who was a carpenter) had the technology to build and live in a "mud hud"?
