What does heaven look like, will we still be Americans when we get there and will we still be able to beat up on angles from other countries and blow up their clouds with tactical nucks? And at the moment should i prey for or to Bush?

I've started leaving the stores. If you are looking at cards or something on a shelf, invariably a clerk walks down the aisle and excuses herself IN FRONT of you. This also happens when I'm shopping with a friend, and often doing expensive shopping. If we are discussing something, it breaks the chain of thought, and it's just plain rude. I have watched where these "busy" clerks go, as well, and it has never once been anything they were rushing to.
Small issue, but it always gets worse at Christmas time. If I were the owner and walking down an aisle, seeing that I was going to bother customers, if possible I would pop over to the next aisle, or at lease excuse myself behind the customers.

I ask this question for many reasons. I'm not a very religous/spirital person and if you pressed me on the issue, I would probably say that ghosts don't exist. However, I have this strong desire to take up ghost hunting as a hobby. I love watching those shows on TV (Like Ghost Hunters) and I really want to know the truth regarding this phenomena. Partly for the rush of being someplace creepy, but I also think it's a deep desire to believe in an after life of some kind.

Having spent some time studying Luke's gospel, I am finding more and more of a distinct separation between the terms "Heaven" and "Kingdom of God" as referring to two separate ideas; the latter being what is promised to mankind with the former being where God is. What's more, the prospect that Luke's Jesus made no promise to his followers of their (rather than his own) resurrection appears to be a likely one.

Would the tenates of Christianity as an organisation and way of life still work if the post-death revival of humanity was revealed to be an idea created by Paul of Tarsus rather than taught by Jesus of Nazareth?

...yeah, I know someone will condemn me to Hell for this but I'm just ignorant & trying to understand. In Genesis, Abraham's son Isaac becomes the father of the Jewish people. Then in the NT Jesus comes from this line as the promised Messiah, and anyone, Jew or Gentile, who accepts his grace gets heaven. But God also promised Abraham's other son, Ishmael, that he would be made into a great nation. I THINK that Ishmael is supposed to be the Father of the Muslims??? If this is the case, why do modern Christians maintain that Muslims must accept the Grace of Christ to go to heaven? Didn't God form a separate relationship with the decendants of Ishmael, and make them a different set of promises? In Genesis he certainly seemed reassuring to Ishmael and his mother Hagar, not like he was saying, "don't worry, I'll make you into a great nation and send you all to hell". Maybe my entire premise is faulty, so sorry in advance if I sound like an idiot...please clarify?

My opinion and beliefs are from experience with dating men/boys. I keep thinking that no matter how good he may seem on the outside, when it comes down to it, he is an untrustworthy potential cheater. I believe men have a hard time controlling their sexual urge and even if they do,they feel hatred for women who dress provacatively (even though it's his darn fault he can't find peace within himself) and call them whores. I believe men fantasize about women in a violent way-wanting to violently have sex and act out aggression, which to me is vilely repulsive. I believe men are too brutes for any real sensitive enjoyment of people's company. They do not keen interest or passion about the arts, but will watch football and scream and holler. To me, unless men are androgynous (having female and male qualities), they are brutes. i hate muscular, big men. All it indicates to me is: AGGRESSION, potential beater. I love intellectuals, but men seem cold when they are. I don't know... !!

I talk to lot's of people who feel they don't have vision or direction in their life..if this is you I'd like to share what I've learned.

Try to bring your vision to your life. To change your reality, first change your perception. To bring something into your world, first bring it fully to life within yourself.
Go beyond merely thinking about what you would like to do, or be, or create. Go ahead and experience it in detail with all that you are.
In your mind's eye, with your emotions fully engaged, surround yourself with the richness of whatever you envision. Fill your awareness with the sights, the sounds, the feelings, and the texture of it all. Allow yourself to experience the pure joy of the best life you can imagine. Let that feeling penetrate to the very depth of your being.
Make it real within you and you'll begin to make it real in the world around you. Know without a doubt that it is and it will begin to be.
Bring your vision to the stage of your life

Hope this helps

I know I didn't spell it right, just listen. Earlier today I was standing at the corner waiting for a bus. There was a muslim girl of about eighteen or nineteen across the street. She was wearing one of those head scarves I think they call hijabs. I didn't pay much attention to her until I heard her scream. I looked and there she is with her hair blowing in the wind, and some guy in running down the street with her hijab. He got away, and when the cops showed up they said it was a theft. From her reaction, (Crying like a small child) you'd have thought someone punched her in the face. Still, it was just a head scarf, she wasn't hurt.
