Last year I underwent a surgery that had complications. I technically died for a few seconds. I since then see people that disappear after a few seconds, Incredibly weird things happen to me all the time, I dream things that come true later, and I experience de ja vue all the time...all since my surgery. Can anyone tell me why I experience these things? I am a strong Catholic and believe that this is perhaps a gift from God, but I do not know what I am supposed to do with it... I have more details for those that ask, but only if you take this seriously and not only have an open-mind, but may have an answer...

tendencies conflict with religion.

Now, liberalism incorporates within its doctrine rationalism, secularism, and socialism. The basis of “liberalism” forms a view of individual independence of radical proportions. Liberalism Is A Sin continues:
...RATIONALISM, or the doctrine of the absolute sovereignty of human reason. Here human reason is made the measure and sum of truth. Hence we have individual, social, and political Rationalism, the corrupt fountainhead of liberalist principles [which are]: absolute freedom of worship, the supremacy of the State, secular education repudiating any connection with religion, marriage sanctioned and legitimatized by the State alone, etc.; in one word, which synthesizes all, we have SECULARIZATION, which denies religion any active intervention in the concerns of public and of private life, whatever they be. This is veritable social atheism. (10 & 11)
It asserts the sovereignty of the individual and social reason and enthrones Rationalism in

One of my European friend told me that French hate racism, but they hate the Muslims more and that they're very arrogant. Any idea?

What should I do? I attend church every sunday but my spiritual life is dry. I just can't see God as my father or creator. And even if I do, I still don't feel like praying to Him.

Yeah, I was just wondering...If anyone knows whether or not it is possible to communicate with someone in hell, if you are in heaven? Is there anything in the bible about this?

I have concluded that God has nothing to do with it, and that the sole responsibility for it is on mankind. Diseases and cancers are due to the things we as a race have come up with on our own not an outside entity.

Talking about sins being washed away with blood...

Does all this blood talk ever sound a bit vulgar or creepy to anyone else? To some believers or no? Just wondering.

I used to be very into Tarot and Wiccan practices. I really enjoyed it and I felt very alive, spirtually speaking, while I was practicing. I still make it a point in my day to day life to recognize the energy flowing around me and to appreicate that energy. Recently, I have become a born again christian and I know what the bible says about things like Tarot and pagan relgions. I do believe that Christ was born to be my savior, and that he died for my sins, but I still see "the goddess" in place of "the one true god" and I am feeling a need to communicate via tarot. Is this a temptation or is it possible for me to fuse the two religions and not offend God?

Now in modern times we hear church people calling Jesus the lamb of God, and saying he died for their sins; is it just me, or is this more than coincidence? Is this something worth looking into?
I don't want to accuse the church people of being Pagans, so what would some scholars have to say about this issue?

What is going on with someone who was born a girl and who is attracted to males, but honestly feels as though she actually should have been born male, to the point where others have even noticed (her mother has always joked 'she's the son I never had', for instance)? This is not a revelation borne of extensive soul-searching; this 'girl' has ALWAYS thought of herself as a boy since her earliest memories. Are there a lot of people like this? Is there a name for this type of personality?
