Scientists are always telling us how 'elegant' so many natural systems are. How is that possible in a universe based in Chance? Why would natural laws be 'elegant'? HOW is this possible without a guiding intelligence???

This is something I never understood. In America we are supposed to have separation of Church and State... yet gay marriage is not allowed because the Bible states marriage is between a man and a woman?

I'm not against either side here, I'm just curious and want to know why this is.

Sincere answers, please.

Hello, I am a Christian man, yet for the past 3 to 4 years I have been struggling against spirits that actually move up and down throughout my body. They afflict me off and on, and are just a general hinderance. I have sought help, but physcologists, write them off as a disease even though I tell them that they actually move up and down my body. The bible has many accounts of demonized people, yet I go on the internet and I cannot find one helpful testimony of an individual who has gone through demonization. Has anyone out there expeirenced demonization or am I the only one!!!

Is organized religion a good thing? Wouldn't the world be more peaceful is there was no such thing?

Personally, I think that organized religion is unneccesary. It is all man made... all the rules and beliefs. Do we really need to belong to a church to go to heaven?

Please.... share your thoughts with me... I don't know what to think....

I used sage, by my pillow. I found out from an answer to my question, that mugwort would cause a person to remember their dreams.

But I only had sage, and that is an artemesia too, so that is what I used.

I went to sleep thinking about my family. About how it is hard to find any two of them capable of seeing things the way I do at the same time.

Then I got this dream, "Get out of the ring." Or, stay away from the ring!" What's that mean?

Then I got on a Native American website, and I was not thinking of anything like this, when all of a sudden I starting reading about a circle with a circle.

It is a Lakota belief. Any suggestions? Thank you.

I've heard some Christians don't celebrate Easter because it's a celebration of the Goddess Eostre, or Halloween because it's Samhain, or Christmas because it's Yule. I can understand not wanting to participate in pagan celebrations when it's not your bag. But what do you call the days of the week?

Or the months, for that matter (Okay, July through December are all safely secular, but the other ones? Janus, Freya, Mars, Aphrodite, Maya, Juno.)?

How can I know which Bible is the correct translation? Or is this scripture saying people who change the scriptures will be punished later, but can still tamper with the scriptures now?
