This is a quote from 'The Doors of Perception' by Aldous Huxley, it was writen in 1954. does anyone else agree with this? I do.


As recently as three hundred years ago an expression of thoroughgoing world denial and even world condemnation was both orthodox and comprehensible. "We should feel wonder at nothing at all in Nature except only the Incarnation of Christ." In the seventeenth century, Lallemant's phrase seemed to make sense. Today it has the ring of madness.

No offense to anyone gay or lesbian here but, wouldn't putting your child in one gendered school, increase his her chances of being a gay or lesbian? not that thats a terribly bad thing, i just think it increases their chance of being gay because all they do is socialize with the same gender, i just think i wouldn't do it so i could save the child the trauma and confusion.

So I have a question about Yom Kippur,,,, I am a convert to Judiasm and today was my first Yom Kippur experience. I went to services this morning for about 4 hours, but didnt stay throughout the day. Does that make me a bad Jew?

I have low blood sugar that causes me to faint if I dont eat for like 8 hours, so I did a modified fast and ate very little. Is this wrong to do? Does this mean that I didnt do what I should have for attonment?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, just needing to know. Thanks.

Christians do you have difficulty explaining Trinity to non-Christians? Do you wish your religion didn't have Trinity so that non-Christians would be willing to accept Christianity more easily?

Basically this is how it sounds to me. God is One, but God has a son, and that son is Jesus, Jesus is a person (who like everybody eats and goes to relieve himself), then there is Holy Spirit, but they are all 3 are One!

I just went to church for my family's sake and was thinking about this "Holy Spirit". It sounds so odd to me after all these years. Here is god - we look like him, here is jesus - we are like him and here is the rarely-mentioned holy sprirt. It is such a blast to think stuffy Catholics are accepting an intangible like that.

Lets hear from the Christ centered believer who can murder some human being/ cutting his head off with his own hand while calling loudly "Cod is Great", "In the name of Jesus Christ" I'm telling you brother, the spirit of God through the spirit of His Son dose not, /can not work this way,It is impossible for the Spirit of Christ to manifest itself in a man like this, for He has been born in the likeness of The Father.
The radical Spirit of Islam is able to manifest itself in some members of its body due to certain writings in there Koran, and this radical spirit of Islam comes directly from the pain of Ishmael, way back at the beginning, at the casting out by the Father/ our Father Abraham..... The result is typical to what we see all around us in the broken sons from broken families, A hardened mind, a hardened heart



Now folks, im talking about The Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ.
God's true and only Son, who was here in the flesh 2000 years ago, -He comes again

I am 24 yr old man who is struggling to live life at the moment. I have faced numerous obstacles and challenges in my life but none greater than severe depression and lust problem.
Why couldn't I resist or overcome them just like I did against drugs, alcohol, tobacco, sex? That is beyond me to answer. All I know is I tried my best and worked hard to become a good person and the best person I can be. But still, I couldn't overcome severe depression and lust problem.
I have been living with those 2 problems for the past 8 years on daily basis. And to put it bluntly, I am just sick and tired of living with them. I am tired of being bothered by them, my life being robbed of happiness and enjoyment no matter how hard I try.
I tried nightly praying, writing daily journals, posting on support board, asking for advice, reading self-help book, getting new hobbies.
What more can I possibly try? Why does it have to be me who endures this?

I don't usually pose questions, but the attitudes of various people just baffle me. I need some answers. How does one justify the EXTREME bashing given to the Islamic faith. Yes the Christian faith as well, but I encounter (personally) far more bashing of muslims and the Islamic faith. People pose as muslims and answer questions with profane, base answers used to reflect poorly on muslims, answers which are obviously couched in stereotype. People insist that 'it is a fact that Islam is false...' people insist that all of Islam is meant to kill, and twist and warp out of context phrases form the Quran to support their arguments (without realizing that it is VERY easy to do the same with the bible.) What makes you think that, if someone is a muslim, they are a bad person? So many of you treat them as even less than people... and it really scares me. I draw far too many parallels between those of you who ignorantly hate all muslims and the hatred for Jews present in nazi germany in WW2...

For Christians it seems that, what St.Paul wrote is more important and believable than the words of Jesus (peace be upon him) himself. Jesus never talked about Trinity, he never said "I am God', he never said "Worship Me" in Bible. Yet still Christians want to believe it, why? because Paul said so....

So the question is, if Paul now pops up in front of you and say "Jesus (pbuh) is not God!", would you believe? If yes why if not why?

It seems that there is a general lack in teaching our children to be kind and compassionate, so how will we ever find peace in the world? Whenever we cause suffering to other living creatures because of expediency, denial or self serving, we serve as an example of cruelty to young people. Whenever we seek vengeance, rather than understanding, we serve as an example of cruelty to young people. The question is whether we are becoming more cruel than previous generations or less so?
