I'll explain my question with a possible anecdote of my own:

I go grocery shopping with me kids. In order to make things interesting I have previously obtained walkie talkies and we separate up into two separate covert groups with our list of objectives divied between us. We (both separate groups)are very careful around corners and utilize our coverperson to check to ensure the coast is clear and subsequently to cover us whilst we obtain the items in question. Etc.

In short, we turn a mundane shopping trip into an adventure. We get more than a couple odd looks. :) Does anybody else participate in similar activities?

I've recently run across the idea that Joseph Smith just plagiarized and changes a few major parts of a fictional story by Solomon Spalding.

Wikipedia says: "Whether or not Mr. Spalding wrote a fictional history as a basis for the Book of Mormon remains a matter of scholarly debate. Despite the signed statements in 1833 in support of this thesis, no manuscript closely resembling the Book of Mormon exists today. Consequently, although the Spalding authorship was accepted as fact throughout the 19th Century, today most historians reject the Spalding thesis as an explanation of the origin of the Book of Mormon."

Is this just being politically correct so as to not offend Mormons? If you wish to link me to more information, for or against this claim, feel free. Just don't link me somewhere extremely bias (as in mormoninformation).

I'm not meaning to disrespect Mormons here, I'm just wanting to find out whether their first "prophet" was nothing more than a lying plagiarizer. :P

If there were an all out nuclear war, there would follow (so they tell us) an induced nuclear winter which would last for decades and cool the planet, so should we promote such an event as a cure for global warming?

I mean-- is there really such a handsome prince charming for me? Or finding my true love, i guess? My Gorgeous savior? My knight in shining armor - - my SOULMATE? All my life, i've been seeing handsome guys as i walk on the busy street, asking my self: can it be that one of them might be able to love me? To treat me nice and kind indeed, to ignore my ugliness and finally see my inner beauty? Can one of these guys be able to love me and show me that I, too, have the rights to be happy? To loved and to be loved? That i, too, was a human, who had emotions and feelings, who can be hurt ? Or am i just waiting for nothing? That the guy i've been expecting to come, that the man i've been waiting for so long doesnt truly exist in reality? Only in my dreams, my illussions and fantasies... Cause handsome man are made only for beautiful woman? That the line 'happily ever after' are meant for gays? LOVE ME, PLS.

I have come to understand that all spiritual paths are but created by groups or individuals that claim(ed) to be divinely inspired. If they are divinely inspired or if they were is uncertain, and to believe in it you have to have faith in a human, or group of humans. There is an alternative to choosing to follow others. It is to follow yourself or to lead. I believe that every human being has the power to create their own spiritual path.

Would you rather have faith in other people’s interpretation of the universe or your own?

Judaism is full of Commandments(about 534 ) and hard punishments and Islam follow the same rule ,no mercy for crime and terrible punishments(like cutting hand ,flogging,stone to death ,killing of apostate,death for Blasphemy),WHEREAS Christ delared Sharia as curse and total mercy,total forgiveness and total blessing even for criminals was the ONLY COMMANDMENT.It is not strange for God to give mercy and forgiveness before crime and punishment .

It has had a good run, but do we endlessly need to point out when we have said something funny by not so cleverly placing a "lol" at the end of our statements. And most of the time the "lol" referenced sentence was not even mildly amusing, I hold reservations to the fact that the "lol" placee actually laughed out loud. So can we cut it out?

Can you stop your fighting and get on with coming closer to God? God likes it when you are humble and not critical of others. If your path is not helping you become nice loving people with eyes to see everyone as your brothers and sisters - the Christians the Muslims, the atheists, the cos and dolphins, spiders and roses too, all life is worthy or respect, if your path is not softenign your heart then you are probably following it blindly. Open your eyes.
