Do you truly believe in something that sounds outrageous to most people? It may be a theory, idea, or actual event that happened to you, but you believe it, even if others think you are nuts.
Can be funny or serious.

she says they are evil and are trying to influence children to go over to the Wiccan religion. Has anyone else heard this nonsense? Harry Potter books do have magic, mythical things and it is a "school of witchcraft and wizardry", but the books also teach children to believe in themselves and to fight for what's right.

If a person is going to be against something, you would think that they would have all the facts about it before being totally against it. That's called being INFORMED. Here's the link, read for yourselves:

So, what do you guys think of it?

First off, I have no wish to offend anyone here so I apologise in advance if this is the case. I'd also like to state I'm looking for open-minded, serious answers.

Having glanced through the bible it seems as if some of the books (notably Ezekiel and Revelation) were written whilst the author was experiencing the effects of a drug-induced hallucination; many of the things they describe indeed seem to be in the same league as the experiences of some of my friends who have taken Mushrooms and LSD. I know hallucinogens were avaliable during this period of history; could it be such prophesies were actually the result of narcotic-inspired visions?

Thanks

I'm creating a Taiwanese site that will be using a simplified Chinese text, and I need to get some sort of Lorum Ipsum or pangram that I can use for laying out the pages.

Does anyone know where I can find something like this?

My cousin Paige has a swimming pool and I have been over there. She often invites me when she has get togethers. Every once in a while some of the guests go topless and few guys (we are all in our 20's) have gotten nude. I actually went nude for the first time last week in front of her and some of her female friends. Is this ok? I mean should I make a big deal about it or am I making a big deal about it. Sometimes its fun just to skinny dip.

She found out about The Nightmare Before Christmas 3D about a week ago. Since then she's been talking non-stop about it... she's very excited. I told her we should wait for it on DVD but she really wanted to see it in the theater. This morning she bought 4 tickets, for me and her and her parents.

I never told her that 3D movies give me extremely bad headaches that last about a week, it's a bit of obscure information that never really came up. I've seen two 3D movies before; the first, The Muppets something or other. It was a 10 minute short that pretty much existed simply to showcase the technology. After viewing it I had a killer headache for a week. Then it was time for Terminator 3D, another 10 minute short. Chalking up my first headache to chance, I gave it another shot, but it wasn't chance, I had another headache. So now she expects me to go see this movie, and it's about 10 times as long as the other 3D movies that effected me so badly.

What's the best way to decline?

In order to become the best person I can be, I am always checking myself and try to stay aware of what I need to improve on. My question is do you do this? And what is it that you are trying to improve about yourself? For me personally I'm working on my patience....for some reason that's just a difficult one for me. Just curious for your answers.

2 Timothy 3
Godlessness in the Last Days
1But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.
6They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth. 8Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth—men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.

....to want to move out in to the middle of nowhere and live apart from society? At the risk of sounding like a nay-sayer I think society is slowly falling apart and I really just want to get out, live my own way without interruptions or daily news of more bombings, wars, street violence and intolerance.

I've tried my best to do as much good as I can but it is like trying to hold back the tide.

What do you think? Serious answers only please.

Thanks

There are many arguments regarding abortion both from different faiths and what the law of the land takes to be right. However, all these, are just expressions of peoples opinions and what people think is right. My question seeks for absolute truth and only truth not hypotheses or abstractions of the human mind.
