Isn't Halloween about evil and spiritism? Aren't Christians supposed to avoid these sorts of things? What do you think?

Do you feel that your children, or if you are soon to have a child, do you feel that with their beauty, and innocence, that they are a spiritual experience. I do just wondering if anyone felt the same?

Is it, for example, necessary that God be all powerful, or all knowing,...etc.?

2000 years prior to Galileo, Aristotle made the profound statement: Heavy objects fall faster than light objects. The Leaning Tower of Pisa was made famous by Galileo when he challenged Aristotle's Hypothesis "that heavy objects fall faster than light objects". The demonstration was held in front of a crowd of interested parties. Galileo's demonstration, once and for all, put to rest the absurdity of such an utterance, and proved beyond a shawdow of a doubt, that heavy objects and light objects fall at the same rate of speed.

The interesting observation here is that for 2000 years no one doubted that the statement could have been false. No one attempted to disprove it before Galileo. They just accepted this statement as fact. This was, after all, the great Greek thinker of our Antiquity! Who are we to doubt such things?

I've been reading up a lot of books on the power of our subconscious mind and using visualization to get what you want such as career success, good health & relationships etc. But none has touched on attracting a desired life partner into our life.
Does it work the same way too?

Currently, a very heated debate is being conducted across the UK media about Moslem woman wearing Hijab, Burkas and veils.

Once again, I see this as just an excuse by moslems to claim victim hood that will give them the moral right to protest.

Lets start wearing Balaclavas, Hoodies and Baseball Caps as part of our cultural identity.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, I'd just like to know.

I have been really bad in my time but yesterday I was on the operating table for a minor little thing.
It should of never happened but they started to lose my vital signs
Damn it really felt good,it was so peaceful.
All I remember is that they said we're losing him,his vitals are dropping fast,
I remember telling them to let me go...!
They said we cannot let you go and started with needles and such, next thing you know I was feeling the pain again.
Now I weep,was I going to see my maker or just knocked out for a few seconds.
I don't understand after a life of being bad and sinful how i would get there..,BUT I wana go back..

I'm not religious but i accept that there are people out there who worship different deities. As long as they do not hurt you, (and I don;t mean the extreamests who dont; actualy follow the teachings of their holy books.) then who cares who they worship? Why such a big deal?

My gay friend told me that once he had feelings for me, thought I was the one, but knew I couldn't make him that happy.
Do gay men have feelings for women?
Does this make him bi at all?
Just wondering

I never believed the whole "break a mirror means seven years of bad luck" supertition before but I'm starting to wonder. If I'm on a long bad luck streak what can I do to reverse my luck?

To my Wiccan friends (and those who I don't know yet)
Please explain to me what it means to cast spells. Do Wiccans believe they can curse someone.
Do you believe in good and bad spirits?

Thanks in advance.

The high tech improvements in science has raised issues we might address sooner or later. Artificial reproduction technicques and its exceedent eggs make me think: Can we consider that life begins in its first stage of development (the formation of the egg)? and then what to do with the remnant eggs of those impregnanting proccesses?

I can't seem to find a large selection, just the odd one or two. I've looked on Amazon and they keep giving me adult books. I'd like to find a large collection of titles that I can order.

Alternatively, I would be very grateful if someone can reccomend a foreign book or translation that deals with the subject of death, whether human or animal. The title and author would be a great help.

Many thanks

Some people don't try it because they are confident they will not like it. Others don't try it because they are afraid they WILL like it. Am I right?

I can think of a few examples:

Baptists with the deep south
LSD with Utah
Catholics with Rome
Muslims with the Middle East

I'm sure there's more.

How do you feel about this confusion? Does it come from people within and without your church? If you would like to clarify any differences between the doctrines of your religion and the culture of that place now's your chance (serious, funny, whatever).

Thanks

does not USA celebrate every year when it was freed from UK kingdom?

and makes films,stories, and cartoons about the independence day and such things.

that is the same situation now in the middle east........USA occupies Iraq on land, and other countries by money and thoughts. do not forget the bad neighbour, israel, who no one wants it.

can u imagine how arabs feel?

and while usa wants to spread its democracy....we see that democracy as nonsense, and usa wants oil and power only.

we are Muslims......we see islam as the only religion....we are not stupid believers...we are deeply convinced and are proud of our past islamic glories...we are waiting only for chance that islam rules will be applied in all muslim countries....and the welfare will cover at that time all muslim countries.......

Democracy? nothing compared to our Islam.....Only Allah's- all people's only god- religion......So,

When u see terrorsist....do not be so angry....... u are the reason!!!!!!!!!
