I have this really cool ring that I want to wear, but it has some strange symbols carved inside it. I wore it for a while a few years ago, but bad things started to happen to me. I want to rid it of any evil spells or spirits it might have and I heard burning sage near an open window will do that.

I have a gay friend and he just started hanging out with this girl... ( for almost a year now, good friends ) she asked him if he ever had feelings for her and he said yes, one of their first times ever hanging out walking a dog in the park and wondered if this could be it and didn't want to **** it up... but then later thought about it and concluded that it wouldn't make him 100% happy.
Does every gay guy go through this?

I am a Catholic, but I believe in reincarnation. Some of Islam's teachings are really nice, but Muhammad with all his wars and wifes makes no much sense. Budism is great and peaceful, but I don't think we can reincarnate into anything but Human.Jehova's witnesses dont believe into survival of the soul until the big resurection.What is up then, with all the gost encounters? Is there a religion that would have a decent respect for Jesus's teachings
but is not as "punishment" oriented as Catholic religion is. Cant there be a happy medium?

If "cult" religions are so good at mind control, why are their attrition rates so high?

To qualify I used to be a waitress, and I typically was tipped very well. Some of my friends are embarrassingly bad tippers. I hate eating with some of them.

I'm not talking about people who tip poorly out of meanness. Or people who get bad service and tip the server accordingly.

I mean people who just don't know any better. Growing up my parents always made a big deal about tipping 20% for good service, more for really good service. 10% is an insult to a server who makes 2 bucks an hour.

Do people just not realize what the proper amount is? Or are they just worried that the extra money will break them? If that is the case why don't they eat in or at a non tipping resturant?
Do they hate tipping and think that a server is paid more than $2.13 an hour? I have heard comments that 'a tip is a gift', to which I counter; if people don't tip well the resturant may just raise the prices to salary the waitstaff. It is not unheard of. Or when you return, they may 'know' about you.

- There must be a god because you see him/her/it in the beauty and perfection of nature, DNA, starts, etc

- evolution has recently been proven false because of "such and such" magazine article/scientist/study, etc

- I'd rather play it safe and believe, than risk my immortal soul

- I know there's a god because he speaks to me everyday

- if you put a bunch of parts in a bag and shake it up, you don't get a computer

- Jesus died for your sins... if you'd only study the teachings of the bible, you'd come to understand the truth

- are you telling me you came from a monkey? I KNOW I didn't come from a monkey!

- how could life just happen? How can something come from nothing?

- Do you actually expect me to start reading and studying science? I'd have to leave the comfort and safety of my cocoon of dogma!

Okay, I'm starting to digress, but you all get the point. I know we all slap our frontal lobes and say, "ugg" (or chuckle to ourselves), but is there any hope for these poor folks?

I am currently in a religious ethics class and am studying Judaism. I am having trouble thinking of an ethical topic in the Jewish religion. Abortion, stem cell research, IVF/artifical insimination, artifical life support and the death penalty are already being discussed so I can't choose any of these. Any ideas???
