Jesus meditated and prayed in the wilderness and fought off Satan. Buddha meditated and faught off Mara (Buddhist version of satan). Except in Christianity, Satan is a separate being and in Buddhism, Mara is a psychological enemy that represents our own ignorance and delusions. Which foe is more realistic?

Wonder how much modesty I'll get here. Most people who are "hot" know it and let everybody else know it as well.

Everytime he did something wrong. Drugs, Alcohol, abused me, etc, he prayed and prayed for forgiveness. Apparently he got it as he felt fine about the awful things he did as soon as he was "forgiven"..Is that the way it works??? I'm serious, so please explain.

I'm a hs girl, and I'm attracted to my teacher. She's petite, smart, young, and beautiful. She has mysterious eyes which I adore and has a distinctive accent which I love hearing. I admit, she isn't the first girl I've been attracted to, but she definitely stands out.

Part of me to completely ignore these attractions, but truly, I can't deny them so the other half of me wants to accept them. I am attracted to guys, but girls turn me on too. Society is bad enough, and I definitely don't want my parents to know because they are compete homophobes. So I'm lost, and I really don't know what to think.

What should I do?

Original sin is said to come from Adam & Eve's fall, if their story is a metaphor as many people suggest then Jesus crucifixion and death to save us from original sin makes little sense unlerss it too is a metaphor.

in micro evolution and not macro evolution without believing that life only existed 6000 years on earth?
if you believe that life has been on earth for about 3 billion years as most scientist agree, then how can you believe in micro evolution and not macro evolution without taking into account that 3 billion years of micro evolution will undoubtedly lead to macro evolution? unless you believe that species have been running in a proverbial evolutionary circle for the pat 3 billion years without change.

The original cult of the mother and child, Semiramis and Tammuz, became later Isis and Osiris, Venus and Adonis, the madonna and child in various cultures down to this day.

Semiramis declared that her son, Tammuz, was in actuality the return or rebirth of her husband, Nimrod. this is where reincarnation was born. And since Tammuz was born on the day corresponding to December 25, this day was highly honored and recognized by Nimrod's supporters. Note, therefore, that this date (December 25) was observed in honor of the birth of Tammuz long before Christianity existed, and that it was not until many centuries later this pagan custom was "Christianized" as being the birthday of Christ (or Christmas day). "It can be stated they worship another Jesus"

Nimrod's followers began to also worship Semiramis. And her son Tammuz was worshipped as well. Semiramis was revered by the people and was viewed by many as a priestess and goddess. She soon became known as "the queen of heaven." Thus began the awful practice of exalting human deities. These false beliefs have led up to the many different forms of idolatry that are still practiced by different people today. Yes, it was through the introduction of these satanic evils and the many sacrilegious practices of ancient Babylon that witchcraft, priestcraft, spiritualism, and other forms of paganism were born.

On the 25th of December, is "The birthday of the unconquerable Sun" (Natalis Solis Invicti). The ancient pagans believed that the sun would die during the winter solstice and then rise again from death as the solstice ended and the days of light began to lengthen, with the sun climbing higher in the sky, regaining its dominance. December 25 was also regarded as the birth date of the Persian/Iranian mystery god Mithras, the Sun of Righteousness, the god of light, the Grand Deliverer. The Sun God Mithras was a popular deity in the Old Roman Empire, whose cult penetrated the Roman world in the first century B.C.

In school, I was the bullied child..the fat, ugly little girl that everyone picked on. In high school..no one to eat with in the cafeteria, that sort of thing. I went to college at 27, same thing. ignored, etc. went to nursing school..left out of the groups/cliques.. I have always tried to be a nice, helpful person. I compliment people, ask for their opinion,etc. i am 50 now, do have family and friends, but in new situations, I am a loner. For instance, started a new job. Had to go away for training. Just finished one week and dread returning Monday. same thing. Everyone has formed their little clique/friendships. they all go out together after class. they laugh and talk, again, i don't even have anyone to sit with in the dining room, so I quit going. This is a very stressful situation for me. I want to be included..yet I will not intrude and put myself where I am not wanted. all the fat ugly little girl stuff comes back. I am just always doomed to be the outsider?
