From 'circus clown' to 'jet fighter pilot'. From 'brain surgeon' to 'singing telegram deliverer'. What would you choose? And why?

Is it a Catholic thing, or is it another group that practices the casting out of demons? Any additional info would be appreciated. Please, no opinions on the good or bad of exorcisms, just facts on what is practiced.

"That terrorist act has nothing to do with Islam!".

What?

But for Islam, could Jihad exist? Who doesnt get that? Lets see if I can better explain. There are many species violence.There is violence done because of: desperation, racism, religious fervor, socio-pathic indifference, etc. Jihad is one species of violence. Unless your a pagan who believes in a violence God that always keeps violence within certain levels, irrespective of where it comes from, then you must recognize that violence is not a certainty.

For example, take Bin Laden, without Islam, would he ever have done any violence? Apprantely, Bin Laden gave serious thought to becoming a farmer, and at one point, swore off Jihad totally. Bin Laden was not one for education, like the majority of his culture, but he didnt appear to be a violent man otherwise, and expressed deep foundness for farming. But for Islam, would he be what he is? Would such an ignorant man feel such self righteous hatred, without Islam?

My university edifies a confederate general and has a statue dedicated to him? Is this right or wrong? It has been shown that most if not all of our past heroes, including the founding fathers, Caesar, Napoleon, etc. were all racists, sexists, and pedophiles, yet they are all whitewashed and edified in mainstream history. Should we judge all historical figures by modern day Western standards and demonise those who don't measure up, or should we continue revering the idealized versions of them?

John 16:2-4 (NIV)

2...a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God. 3 They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. 4 I have told you this, so that when the time comes you will remember that I warned you.

I must have nightmares about dying every night. I wonder how it's going to happen, what it's going to feel like, how much it's going to hurt, whether I'm going to drown or choke on something or something even worse than that, and most of all whether my life means anything at all.

I just can't believe in god. It's just too much bullshit to be true. I wonder if reincarnation is true. If it's not I mean, really, our lives don't mean anything. Not a goddamn thing. Not even someone like Gandhi or Stephen Colbert's life would mean anything. Because death is really all there is if you look at it, life is just this little dot on a huge canvas.

Mortality sucks.

Now that I know the reason why Catholics ask Mary and the Saints to pray for them, I'd like to know if those who followed Jesus during His lifetime and shortly afterward participated in the communion of the saints. Again, please use Biblical and/or historical proof in your answer. Thank you!

But doesn't it seem that the opposite is true as well, that it is easier to believe the bible when you know less about it?

In my experience the people who know least about the Bible are it's biggest supporters.

How is it then also that so many Biblical scholars and members of clergy can believe it so strongly? Is it their faith that overcomes their knowledge? Why would that be?
