ancient group names such as some people call poles slavs just because there language branches from slavic even though they have as much slavic DNA as a german.. or Romanians being called latin people even though they're mostly slavs... howcome know one calls english speakers germanics?

And before you even think about it, any proselytizing by Christians or anybody else WILL BE REPORTED!! As well as if you tell me I'm worshipping the devil or am going hell.

Now, I am Wiccan. Most Wiccans I know are pacifists. I am not, far from it. I have a very hard time controlling my temper, and holding my tongue. When I get angry, it's explosive. I don't hit people, but that's not all there is to being a pacifist. So, sometimes I wonder, am I suited to this religion at all?

I'm 30, in great shape, not much body hair, tall, lean...and like to wear speedos to the beach. I never act like I'm full of myself or even approach women. Why is there this instant revulsion to the male body in something like speedos, according to so many polls? I'd like to see some posts from ANY women who like seeing guys in speedos, provided the guys are polite, on swim teams, in shape, NOT hairy, fat or full of themselves, etc...

Do you get hateful of them for not being Muslims? Do you allow them religious freedom in your nation? Do you get jealous of them for making more money and having close ties with Europeans and Americans? How do you feel about the Christian Armenians who live in your countries?

My friend Tom & I were there fro 8:10 pm till 5 am in the morning. What we saw was: a plastic cross & chain that caught fire & melted while hanging on a tombstone. I sprayed Holy water on it to put it out & a flame shot up 3 to 4 ft. then died out; I laid on one side of a grave and Tom on the other. My side started getting wet. Tom checked it & it was dry, yet my shirt was still wet; close to midnight, a lightening bolt struck a bolder & split it, then it got windy & rain sprinkled for approx. 5 or 7 min. yet we didn't get wet at all, the ground wasn't even wet or damp; a little rumble was felt under ground where we laid; a vapor of steam or something in shape of a football emerged from a grave, hovered,then left quickly to the left; the tombstone next to us read "Jerome Snellings-buried alive for murder of town pastor. 1893." A cat was heard somewhere fighting with an animal, the animal won; we heard a voice which sounded like it said, "Leave us" or something similar. (CONTINUED )

For example, if I ask a simple question that normally has a complex answer, one like "Is there a god" people seem to think saying "Haven't you read the Bible, god is in the bible so yeah there is a god"

Why do people think that just because it's in the Bible, it's true?

To me the Bible is a fiction novel written (re-written I mean! Lolol) to create a social structure.. Anyway, opinions? Discuss.

According to Christian mythology, God created all things, so it stands to reason that he also created Evil. having created evil, it also stands to reason that only an evil being could create evil....Right?

"There are terrorists in Ireland. But are they called Christian terrorists? No, they are called the IRA," he said, referring to the Irish Republican Army in British-ruled Northern Ireland.

"The people who bombed Oklahoma City, they were Christians. But we didn't say Christianity produces these creatures," he said. "There are good Christians and bad Christians and there are good Muslims and bad Muslims."

Some consider thinking and enquiry should never stop but be a continuous process.

When it comes to Religion, Beliefs and Faiths, would you consider investigation and revelation of fact and truth necessary before all other considerations ?

Illustrations or examples are appreciated in supporting your position from a Religious, Belief or Faith perspective. Ambiguity is seldom purposeful. Thank you.

Jesus had a pure love, an agapa type love, is that what He expects of us?

This is an issue that I find very interesting. I am not a religious individual, however, I can on the one hand, understand the side which argues that marriage has always been between a man and a woman and should not change. If it changes to allow for two people of the same sex to marry, what's to stop it from changing to allow more than two people to marry... after all, how can we say that it is fine for a man and a woman to marry, a man and a man to marry, but not three women? Discrimination!
Basically, do you think the argument can be taken too far?

On the other hand, if we allow two people of the same sex to form a legal union which allows for all the same rights as marriage, will their unions ever really be viewed as equal to marriage?
If not, and my guess is that 'not' would most likely be the case, this is a problem as well.

These things considered, I personally, would have to say I am for homosexual marriage. As a society progresses, so should its laws.

Have you ever realised how many people are not getting married anymore or how many are postponing it?

I am 26 and the first of my friends has just got married. She is the first amongst us to get married, yet I know so many people my age who already have one to three children, some living with their partners and some single. None of them talk of marriage.

What will happen in another 30 years time? How many people will be marrying then I wonder.

Did the person ASK for forgiveness, or did you have to struggle with it when or was too late to confront them; ie they were already deceased, or perhaps you were the victim of a violent crime and they never caught the perpetrator.
Be as wordy as you like.
