Whom of you have got stories on therianthrope/Shapeshifters, Vampires and Magick? Good bad or indifferent!
The meaning of therianthrope:
[b]Therianthropy[/b] is a generic term for any transformation of a human into another animal form, or for a being which displays both human and animal characteristics, either as a part of mythology or as a spiritual concept. The word is derived from Greek therion (Θηριον), meaning "wild animal" or "beast", and anthrōpos (ανθρωπος) meaning "man".
Please tell me all the story in detail and you can be in the book I am working on. Please use a pseudonym.

Because I don't deserve any more than the most miserable creature in existence. Mankind should be a brotherhood. We're all in this together, and one man's pain should be another's. If no one is compassionate enough to deserve Heaven then no one wicked enough to deserve Hell.

Micah 5:1 But you, Bethlehem Ephratah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall he come forth to me, he who is to be ruler in Israel; and his origin is from ANCIENT TIME, FROM DAYS OF OLD.

Daniel 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like a son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
And there he was given dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations and languages, should serve him, his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed"

IS THIS JUST A GREAT MAN BEING DESCRIBED HERE IN TORAH ?

The fanatically religious homophobes that post here in this section especially seem to know what they're talking about, and I mean that sarcastically, of course.

...as opposed to making a suggestion, for example?

A 'need' is defined by Wayne Dyer (and I suspect many others) as some that will immobilise you if you don't have it. Oxygen, sunlight and personal beliefs are what I'd call needs; personally I've found that a lot of things I thought I 'needed' for anything weren't so at all. Especially the 'need' to be like everybody else.

However I've seen and heard people throw the word 'need' around with no real backup or any real idea of what they're saying, especially when it comes to "professional help". After hearing the definition I've trained myself to ignore or refute someone's attempt to state my 'needs', because I'm very sure I'm the only one who can define them for myself.

I believe in the Bible, i just don't see the rapture mentioned any where saying that we will be raptured before all the tribulation. I personally think we will be here threw it all.

get upset and/or mad when I say that the bible is nothing but a stupid, little book full of fairy tales?

Super powers, invisibilty, resurrection, people living for hundreds of years, talking animals, magic, a huge flood, angels, spirits, demons, Satan, an omnipotent man living in the clouds that no one can see and having zero proof of his existence, a utopia up in the clouds, some guy living in the middle of the Earth that tortures people for all eternity, eternal life, and etc..... all seem to things right out of fairy tales. If I went to the fiction, fantasy, and comic book section I could find all of those elements. Yet if I go to to a non-fiction section, I don't find any unless it's some guy talking about the time he did a bunch of LSD and went crazy.

What's the deal with them getting mad and upset at me? It's not very nice and loving of them :(

earlier today i saw an answer that stated " if millions of people believe in something then it must be true". now under this logic every single belief regarding religion must be true. also millions of children believe in santa clause so he must be real.

so again i ask you. does this make any sense?

here is the sad simple truth. the bible was created by human beings thousands of years ago who were superstious and has been changed and revised many times.
Think about it this way.
Adam and Eve, were 2 beings created from god. now. if that is indeed truth then answer these questions.

Where do dinosaurs come from since they arent mentioned in the bible?
If they are, how do those that wrote the bible know they existed since the bible was written thousands of years and not millions of years ago. did god tell them?

Why is there a multitude of ethnic races? if adam and eve were african american, caucasian, or chinese wouldnt we all be of the same ethnicity.

When god created adam and eve, and they had 2 sons. who did the sons reproduce with(after 1 killed the other) to create the 6 billion inhabitants that populate this earth? are you going answer that god had created more after one of the sons ran off?
how are we continentally divided? adam and even couldnt cross continents

I tend to change a little depending on who I am around. For example if I am around someone who speaks Ebonics I tend to speak it more. If I am around someone who has a southern accent my accent comes out. If I am around someone who speaks more proper English then I tend to speak it more. Honestly I don't do this on purpose it just comes natural. I asked a good friend of mine and she said its because I am a people pleaser. I want to appeal to the person speaking with so I will start to speak like that person. I have been all around the US and a few places outside the US and met many different people. I understand alot of people and how to appeal to them. Like I can talk the talk of the person I am speaking with. Things that don't change from person to person is my beliefs and opinions. These things never change no matter who I am speaking with, its basically how I talk, not who I am. Do you think this is wrong or not? If so how do I stop my self from doing it?

Your favorite lesbian is back! And t*rds, and wh*res, are just coming in their pants for me.

I know that I can’t really relate to gay people because I am a lesbian, and lesbians are not gay, we’re straight (according to our society), but I really detest the way gay people have allowed themselves to be mistreated and programmed to think that they are just one great big easy joke to be tossed around and about, misused, and abused. Why can’t gay people enter into the executive and premium lesbian status? When will the respect come? When will the discrimination end? Is discrimination the American way? Since we can’t pick on racial minorities anymore, we have to go after every single gay person who is just trying to live their life as legally comfortably as they can, is that the mindset of the general population? No surprise there, huh?
