I'm not really gay, but I'm transsexual, so I don't really "claim" a sexuality, but I'd say, for me, it would have to be that I live an uninhibited life and I know my identity of who and what I am, and that's what I like most.

Sorry, not sure of the most correct way to phrase this question, but a New Zealander friend has been saying that there are no "full-blood" maori people left. Obviously maori people and culture survive and thrive, but are there really no people left who have complete direct ancestry from maori tribes on both sides of their family??

At church the other day, my pastor informed the congregation of missionaries born and raised in Africa coming to the U.S. What do ya'll think of this?


I think it shows just have much of an oppurtunity there is to witness right here in the U.S. Christians shouldn't think they have to go to Africa, India, or China to spread the word of God. There are plenty of people that need Jesus right here.

someone suggested that people seeing things like Mary can sway people from God
i have heard this same thing be said about spirit communication

i find it difficult to believe that any appirition or sighting of anything that brings peace and love
and is of a spiritual nature
can be against God

can anyone explain this please ?

please understand , i am not looking for an explaination of why these things happen ... or a rude remark about seeing a psychologist
but i genuinly find it difficult to understand why so called spiritual people would deny a spiritual happening simply because it doesn't agree with their book

I am referring to news reports not about Muslim terrorists but about the far more mundane group of religious Muslims who happen to be taxi drivers. In Britain and Australia, Muslim taxi drivers refuse to pick up passengers who have a dog with them — even when the passenger is blind and the dog is a Seeing Eye dog. Nearly all religious Muslims believe that Islam forbids them to come into contact with dogs. Therefore, Muslim taxi drivers will even drive by a blind person standing in the cold, lest they come into contact with the dog.
And in Minneapolis, Minn., Muslim taxi drivers, who make up a significant percentage of taxi drivers in that city, refuse to pick up passengers who have a bottle of wine or other alcoholic beverage with them. This is significant. We are not talking here about Muslim fanatics or Muslim terrorists, but about decent every day Muslims. the imposing of one's religious practices on others.

I was in a horrible auto accident and stopped breathing. I was brought back by a beautiful, freckled redhead that I believe was an angel. She knew every place that I was hurting even though I never told her and she made me as comfortable as possible. In the time that it took for the ambulance to get there, she stayed with me and then just disappeared as I was being loaded onto the stretcher. Do you have a story to tell?

I ask you guys this because I didn't know really who to ask!! Anywho, I'm Christian and I really am proud of it, but whenever I see something about your religion I have this yearning to become part of it and feel as though there was something about Christianity i didn't agree with!! I know you guys don't go out seeking for converts, but that doesn't matter!! I just feel like I was supposed to be born Jewish but never was...I always felt I wanted to be Jewsih!! I always get these desires to convert and I really don't know what I should do!! I've read about the process of conversion and it sounds so interesting!! What should I do??

Thanks
Peace
