Has anyone considered why the Bible is so one sided?
Was anything recorded from Lucifer's point of view?
Am I the only person who thinks that maybe God is insane and Lucifer was/is only trying to help us; God created everything - good and evil - so why has Lucifer become God's scapegoat?

A while ago my girlfriend kissed another guy she had had a crush on before me in a nightclub, when I was away on a trip for the weekend. She was very drunk and regretted it and we have long since made up, things are great between us. The guy now has a long-term girlfriend of his own (all this happened a year ago). Thing is, he won't leave me alone. At first it was just minor things, if we bumped into each other (he always has a gang with him) he'd sneer at me or call me names, trying to provoke me by telling me what he'd done with my girlfriend. I used to just take it on the chin. Then it got to the stage where he'd found out my phone number and started calling me- now he's got to following me in to the toilets at our local night club and laughing and my p*nis with a gaggle of girls he smuggles in (he has a girlfriend but is a real player), throwing stuff at my car and spitting on my housemates if he sees them out- I've been to the police and they said not to bother them. What to do?!

Why is it that everytime someone ask's a simple honest question there is always some one who can only answer with sarcasm, stpidity, or just needs, to check the words spelled in short or just with a few errors, is this site being monitored and do you get point's for good spelling,sarcasim,or just be a pain in the b#** can one just deal with honest folk, not humm,hummm's.

This is open for all religions and belief systems - whether this is going to church, temple, praying, reading sacred text, meditating...whatever.

Do you find that minor emergencies often come up? Any guesses why? What do you do to overcome them and worship anyway?

Thanks

they always get called "headbangers" and stuff like that. but over 75% of them go to my high school and they are scared of people who are more of pop/rap fans. is it because people think they worship evil or something. clue me in pweeze

What would be appropriate for a woman to wear to a formal adult reception after a wedding? A suit, nice slacks with nice shirt, a dress? Any suggestions? I was thinking slacks with nice sweater.

I've heard that it's quite easy to track down people that threaten others in online forums, and that the FBI takes these threats seriously... anyone have any experience with this?

I think i came back last week. I´m not that sure. I just remember lying in my bed, when all of the sudden a bright light iluminated the whole place. Then i woke up and felt someone was touching me and saw strange faces putting tubes and shots inside my ears and nose. I feel strange and have some kind of cut in my hand. everybody asks me where i was for the past 4 days. My answering machine is full. I have like memory lapses but can´t remember that well. I found myself naked in a nearby park days after. the local news say there are people who witnessed strange lights surrounding the park where i was left but no one saw the lights when i was taken. what should i do? this is not joke.

Hi there! I'm from the southern U.S. and have a heavy country accent. My mom's boyfriend is from New York and sometimes he can't even understand me (but I can't understand him sometimes either, lol). What I'm afraid of is people judging me thinking that because I talk southern that I'm ignorant. What would you do? Do you think I should try to talk "less country" or just let people deal with it? Thanks for the help!

OK well this is mainly in refference to all of the statements and comments that i see about Halloween. Are people really incapabble of doing any actual research on the origins of a holiday before they make uninformed and therefore false statements?

or can people only copy what they are told by other people that have also not done any real research?

have humans become such sheep that they are incapable of individual thought, and personell growth and learning?

how many of the people on this board that are not Pagan, Wiccan,
or Athiest/Agnostic actually know the origins of the holiday Halloween and why Halloween is a CHRISTIAN Holiday?

i am not trying to leave my Pagan brothers and sisters out i am just wondering if anyone else is capcble of individual thought. and if anyone has the ability or desire to learn anything other than what they are simply told by religious figures and the shows and movies that popular media puts out.

OK, I know it doesnt actually exist, but where would it have been located if it had ?. Obviously if it was in telescop-ic range then we could have noticed it by now.... so it would therefore be in a galaxy far far away. In which case how many millions of light years would it take for a soul to reach it from this planet?. Or do souls travel faster than the speed of light ?.
And if its milions of light years away from here then the odds are it could be just a few miles from another planet having animals so they would arrive earlier?.

Every time there is some statistic about how Christians have the highest teenage pregnancies, divorce rates, jail terms, abortions, std's, shorter life expectancy, unhealthier countries, etc. this turns into "well, they are not real Christians." Or is it that once you made a mistake you automatically stop being a Christian? I don't get it. Do Christians ever make mistakes at all? Look honestly into your family or church people, is there not one --true-- Christian that maybe had a teenage pregnancy, was in jail, or maybe even had a divorce? This doesn't make sense. I have an Aunt who is Christian that has had a divorce. I have an Uncle that's a catholic who had a DUI. And if you met them, there is no way you could even begin to try to justify saying they are "not real Christian;" they make mistakes like you and me. You're supposed to be "sinners," so why are you in such hypocritical denial?
