Picture the scene. A harlot is sitting on the back of a fearsome beast. The beast has seven heads and ten horns. Rev 17:1-4 Whom does the harlot represent? She exerts influence “over the kings of the earth.”
She dresses in purple, uses incense, and is exceedingly wealthy. In addition, by means of her spiritistic practice, “all the nations are misled.” Rev. 17:18; 18:12,13,23
The bible helps us to see that this harlot is a world wide religious entity. She depicts, not any one religion, but all religions that produce rotten fruit.

The beast that the harlot rides pictures the world’s political powers. Rev 17:10-13
False religion straddles the back of this political beast, attempting to influence its decisions and to control its direction.
How do you think that religion will end? and do you think it will end?

I married and my marriage was rocky, we were converted and it became a little more rocky. I've felt that as believers now, a lot of effort has not been made to help because of the whole "divorce is not an option" tactic. I know adultery and death are bibical but doesn't that only apply to believers when they marry? I wasn't a believer when I married. I'm wondering how God views it since I was married before I was a believer. I really had no idea what marriage meant and if I had I would have waited. What do you all think?

So theists believe in a god because they believe the Universe needed a creator... i.e. that it couldn't just have always been there or poofled in out of nothingness...
... So who created god? Or was he always there / poofled in out of nothingness? ...
And for that matter, once you've justified god's appearance in existence, how about justifying why the same couldn't be true of the Universe itself in the first place... hence negating the need for a middle man.

^_^ ... Just one of the many amusing contradictions of theistic (simplistic) belief.

Yes... I know. Some people just can't handle thinking about questions like this, will spout off what they've been told by the guy with the white collar, and promptly escape the scene clutching defensively to their ignorance...... and THAT is what makes asking it all worthwhile! =D

But, you also realise that you’re a masochist that seems to find pleasure in everyones (including your own) suffering. How do you become more loving and kind to yourself and others?

everything else we can see,perceive..
In Bhagavad Gita, it says: "A sword can not cut itself". Meaning what you can watch, can not be you.
What we can watch are: body,mind,thoughts and everything else

Do you think this is true? Do we really have a inner self other from body and mind? Or are we just like sophisticated robots perceiving themselves? (robots of merely flesh and blood)

If a man who considers himself straight slips up just once and has sex with a guy, everyone can't wait to label him gay, but if a guy who considers himself gay and has sex with a female (and I know alot of 'gay' guys who have done this even AFTER they have come out) then he is still considered gay. Is it just me or is this a double standard? I think any guy or girl who has had sex with people of the same and opposite sex would be considered bisexual. That only seems logical. It also seems like it's so easy for society to label women as bi but not men. I think this is because men rule the media and they find women who are bisexual to be a fantasy and we all know men's fantasies are all that matters...... I also think alot of women lie about being bisexual just to get more attention from men. Sad, isn't it?

Why do people gleefully disrespect each other these days? It suddenly seems like mutual respect and manners are archaic concepts and being rude or disrespectful is something bold one should be proud of.

I am mad pisse d. My niece is 17 years old...and pregnant. Thats a problem but not the problem....the problem is at her school, when the councelor found out she was preg....they brought her in a nd had a talk. Well my niece and her mom(my sister) got into it. Tentions running high at the moment. But anyways my niece blurted out she is moving out. When my sister asked...on what grounds can she support herself. She told her the school gave her someino on living alone with a baby...They said they could get her a place to .live...finacial help...and get her to an alternative school. Where she could bring the baby while she attended.
WTH...WE have already told her we will support the child...babysitting,medical.finacial, anything she needed...just finish school. Now she has this thought that she can get her own place...get money...and go to school part time..My sister is mad beond control. We think this is something the parents should be advised beofre anything is said to thier children.

Hundreds of years ago everyone thought it was 'up there'. Now we know that 'up there' is the rest of the universe - planets, stars, galaxies and so forth. So, where is heaven now?
