A brain hemorrhage can change one's personality completely. SO can many other things. That person would be totally different. If each soul is supposedly "unique" in regards to the person's personality, then wouldn't the soul change if the personality changes?

There are billions of stars in our milky way and galaxies beyond our own that are even larger... The possibility of extraterrestrial life is all but eminent. Although we may not find evidence of life within our own solar system and we may not encounter life outside of our planet earth for ions, if mankind (and its God-based religions) can live long enough, the odds begin to narrow.

The religious books completely fail to mention the possibility of aliens - but what if they were to show up one day? There are some people who seem to think that there is a possibility that aliens have already visited here in the past... the Mayan civilization has referenced possible aliens...

What do you think? Are the God-based religions prepared to explain the existance of Little Green Men?

I have a job doing something mostly men do. I have been doing it for a long time and am good at it and feel like I fit in pretty well. My question is what do guys think of having a women around doing a "man's job"?

p.s. I am not manly, I still look like a girl.

So I've seen Christians throwing around hell rather flippantly, here and elsewhere - "if you don't follow Jesus, you'll burn in hell!"

Now think about it. Hell is supposedly horrible beyond anything that we can fathom. Being there for a few seconds is unimaginable torture. I'm thinking that even if someone burned down my house, killed my loved ones and ran over my cat, I wouldn't want to punish them by making them suffer so excessively for eternity.

God's supposed to be more compassionate than me, a mere human. So (a) how can he stand to have people suffering in hell? Why doesn't he do everything he can to save them from that? (And I don't want to hear that "look at nature, God created it, that's how he proves he exists!" Sorry, a pretty tree is not enough proof to make some people believe wholeheartedly in something invisible.)

And (b) is it really Godlike for Christians to throw around hell like a cheap threat, not really caring about what an awful place it is?

"I never approved of a Schism nor will I approve of it for all eternity ... that the Roman Church is more honored by God that all others is not to be debated ... though nowadays everything is in a wretched state, it is no grounds for separating from the Church. On the contrary, the worse things are going, the more we should hold close to her, for it is not by separating from the Church that we can make her better ... There is no sin, no amount of evil, which should be permitted to dissolve the bond of charity or break the bond of unity of the body." -

Is it binding to Catholics?

If it is binding would a Catholic be considered 'leaving the Church" if they disagree with it?

An interesting quote I found that is the reason that puts this question out here: "As to the new teachings we have to be clear, that they are not binding" - Cardinal Felici. (Later Cardinal-President of the Ecclesia Dei Commission)

I asked this question within another ? and was not answered; I think this one deserves it own space. Forgive the redundancy.

I believe He's more than able to do that. How about this question.

Would God cause someone to die, in order for YOU to gain faith in Him?

Remember, NOTHING happens by accident. EVERYTHING has a purpose, and a reason.

When I am with you I am truely happy...nothing can bring me down. You always want the best for me and I am afraid if I don't take this risk then I may never find someone who will care for me like you do. After talking tonight I'm not sure you even want to try, but whatever problems I may face will have to be dealt with because otherwise I may always regret not knowing what might have been. Well I also wanted to thank you for putting up with me for so long...I truely appriciate it, I love you. Thank You.

Love Always,

Christina

The more you try to figure it out the more confusing it becomes....In conclusion stop trying to because most likely you never will..so...live this live to the fullest and dont worship "evil" ness, it is believing that "good" will always triumph, if we did not believe in what is not right in front of us, then, this life would be boring......thats it.

Ok, I need someone to please accurately translate this into Spanish for me please! (Native speakers perferably)

Sitting here thinking about all we've been through, I can't believe how far we've come. There is no one else in the world that has stood by me like you have, through it all. No one has ever cared for me the way you do, and now I can truely appriciate that. I don't know what I would do if you were not in my life...I could not imagine not talking to you everyday and coming to you when I need someone to talk to. If I am having a bad day, you are the one I call and no matter what you have always listened. So many people have tried to come in between us, but with no success. I almost feel as if this is our last obstacle, the last monster we must face...my family. I never would have thought they would be this shallow, this superficial. But thinking about what you've said, I need to do what I want to do despite what they say as long as I am happy.
