They seem to love their veil and being told what to do. Maybe they actually like all the attention from the media.

Britain is hardly a Christian society, most people here don't care, unlike America where there are many Christians, who follow Christianity as their religion all year round and actually pay attention to the teachings of the Bible.

They make fun of people who are Christians and think it is weird. Yet they celebrate Christmas as if the have every right. Why not celebrate Eid, Divali and Hannukah? It's all about getting drunk, getting a holiday and a present. All very commercialised now, you can't spout rubbish like 'Jesus was born' when you would be one of those to laugh at those people in city centres who shout out the teachings of the Bible. I would like to hear some serious answers on this. I have asked many colleagues, none of them Christians who have openly denounced all religions, who shut up when asked and mumble something about Jesus.

who would be the one to receive the spell.
If it were my hair and I offended someone - and they made a doll with it - I could understand.

But if I donate my hair and someone and they offend and a voodoo doll is made with that hair - does the spell get placed on me or to the person who will be wearing my hair that did the offending?

That would be like parents having a child knowing full-well they would have to kill it at some point in the future because it wasn't living up to expectations. That's called pre-meditated murder - people go to jail for such behavior.

So many people seem to say that they are gay or bi these days. Has the number of experimenters increased, or are more people just comfortable to come out of the closet? Maybe there isn't even a closet anymore? For teens, though, isn't it sort of the new thing to be bisexual??

-In Genesis it says "Let -us- create Man in -our- image"
-In the Old Testament God was a vengeful entity (the father figure?)
-In the New Testament, God was forgiving and loving. (the mother figure?)
-Christians Believe in one God, but then God is three people in the trinity.
-Mary the Blessed Mother was Jesus' greatest disciple, and yet women are not allowed to be priests in the Catholic church.
-God is pure love and forgivness. So why is there a Hell?
-If Jesus is the son of God, then how is Mary the Mother of God when God has been around forever and the father of her Son?
-Why do Christians damn unwed mothers and their children, when mothers and unborn children are considered 'holy'? Wasn't Mary unwed at the time of the conception of Jesus?
-Why can't priests be allowed to get married, since marriage is a pure form of love, and God is Love?
-Is God a Man, a Woman, a hermaphorodite, or two seperate entities?

Please give your opinions on at least 2 of the questions.

It seems he did this a few times in teh bible to "Test" the faith of certain individuals, personally, I find a god that would ask such a thing to be repugnant and unworthy of worship.

Okay, it's my first time at a Halloween party & this girl has invited me to her party. Shall I give her a gift or maybe like a small present as in a way for thanking her for inviting me? or not?

Well think about it. In order for someone to gain eternal life and immortality they had to drink Jesus' blood. Is that the ritual that vampires have in order to make someone become a vampire and therefore gain immortality? This would mean that Jesus was a vampire that sacrificed his own blood to feed everyone else with. Or am I wrong about the vampire mythology or the biblical mythology?

He could have also been a werewolf. He killed himself to save others, and commanded they consume his flesh like a werewolf would do. Nasty huh? Christianity sounds like a grotesque cannibalistic death cult.

that seems to contradict half the other sermons. i mean people that marry the wrong person ..is that them not following his plan so they mess up? and when you don't get something you want, is it always god doing something behind the scenes ?? it just seems that the way people talk about "everything happening for a reason" undos a lot of their same beliefs. i mean for a lot of things to happen in people's lives...a lot of mistakes have to happen. sometimes. i'm not against god being in control..don't get me wrong...but iit's just confusing. what do you think?

On the sabbath. Kill em all, who do not follow the sabbath (examples from website qouted here, giving us what the bible commands but contradicts.)
Matthew 12:1 "At that time, Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the grain fields. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.

2 But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, "Behold, your disciples do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath."

3 But he said to them, "Haven't you read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him;

4 how he entered into the house of God, and ate the show bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for those who were with him, but only for the priests?

5 Or have you not read in the law, that on the Sabbath day, the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are guiltless?"

Jesus, who is claimed to be perfect, broke the sabbath with his disciples. He should be shot. Or, was something else being inferred? TBC
