I was a pagan and practising witch for seven years, made friends (accidentally!) with a Cistercian monk and visited his monastery. Ever since then, I believe God has come into my life and made himself known to me and I have been compelled to read books about becoming a nun. Am I being called to be a nun? Could I even think about becoming a nun when I haven't been baptised as a Christian?

Serious answers only please, please no anti-Christian stuff. Thanks.

"Say: we believe in God and in what has been revealed to us, and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma'il: Isaac, Jacob and The Tribes, and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus and the Prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another, among them, and to God do we bow our will (in Islam)." (Qur'an, Al-Imran 3:84)

I just make the Assumption that an Atheist or Evolutionist would want to have the Australopithecus studied in a natural environment.

I personally would think "would Australopithecus make it in modern times". And would offer to be an adoptive parent.

I personally am not religious but do intend on taking my own son to a Catholic mass and show him what our family in Michigan does. Not that Daddy believes but that its ok for him to explore the option.

I would want Australopithecus to explore the option. I would contend that if there was a God God would put a soul in the cloned Australopithecus.

I sincerely hope people give a heartfelt answer to this question and not blow it off as a chance to score points for "their side".

Imagine the face of Australopithecus as an explanation of a soul enters its consciousness, and how it must deal with its "humanity".

In Texas, an award-winning art teacher who had been teaching 28 years lost her job because a parent complained that their fifth grade child saw a nude during a field trip to an art museum in Dallas.

In art museums, finding sculptures and paintings of nudes is quite common. In most school systems, most children have to have parental permission for a field trip. Now, the art program of that school in jeapordy without a teacher.

Would you have let your child go on a trip to an art museum knowing there may or may not be nude forms they could observe. And, if you will, what harm comes from it?

Thanks for your thoughts and opinons.

I have had dreams since I was very young and have lived to see these dreams come true. I do not, dabble in any kind of spiritism and do not have any occult items around. Is this from a good source? Why does this happen to me? I think my relationship with the Lord is the motivating factor in my life, so why is this happening ?

Yesterday I was exploring the cavern's of a little island I discovered a few months back. Well as I was down there I came upon a little man about two feet tall. This little man called himself Kwanda Una, he told me he has been living in these cave's for hundreds of years, yet he was wearing Nike's. Anyways, Kwanda Una told me I had to leave the cavern's and the Island to a far land to find an ancient cup made of T-Rex bones and Snail hair, he said if I did not find this cup I would be stuck in the cave with him. I have two weeks to find the cup. How do I find a cup made of T-Rex bones and Snail hair? or was Kwanda Una just "yankin my chain"?

"so many choose to be ignorant of the real world, feeling all nice and cozy wrapped up in their religion, like a warm blanket muttering" its not real, its not real" when confronted with scientific fact." mam, Christians drive cars, fly in planes, watch t.v., ride on boats, talk on phone, go see doctors, listen to radios,use dvd players, turn on lights, use washing machines, mow the lawn, use the sprinklers,surf the web, use a printer, take pictures, go to the movies, go to schools, read books, carry cell phones, use the stove, use the fridge, use the microwave. Now please try again. and this time stop and think before answering, I mean this with the utmost respect.
