What is this exactly? I mean I have seen it, but I am not sure about it all. It seems kinda unexplainable. How does this really happen? Is it just the individual making up words or is this a real language and is there a dictionary for it? How does someone all of a sudden start speaking another language they have never been taught... and I really want to know from a non-Christian point of view because I already know what Christian's will say..."it's God speaking through you...blah, blah, blah..."

The celebration of St. Nicholas is separate from the Christmas holidays, and occurs during the 2 weeks prior to December 6th, which is St. Nicholas's day. St Nicholas being the original basis for the character santa claus so why do we give gifts on December 25th and how are the two days related someone please explain why we don't have 2 holidays instead of one.

to God. Somewhere in Isaiah it says Satan took with him "a third of the stars from the sky" when he fell from Heaven. Is there anything else that discusses Satan BEFORE Adam and Eve? Like WHY he would challenge God, knowing the punishment he'd get?

throughout history there have been countless wars, genocides, murders and attrocities in the name of religion. Would the world be a happier place without religion?

Like when you say "I'll have a Big Mac combo with root beer, 2 cheeseburgers, one strawberry shake and a couple of oreo McFlurries"

Do you feel like totally spiritual and stuff when the voice comes back and tells you how much money you owe for your food?

Do you feel that driving up to the first window is like a journey of life, man?

And then theres that feeling between the 1st and 2nd window where you have paid but got nothing....is that like how you would feel if you were good but still went to hell, y;know?

Please tell me what this experience does to you....do you meditate before or after? What do you do to prepare for this? What do you call this ceremony of yours? Do you share your spiritual experices with brothers and sisters of the non-faith? Do you dream of Richard Dawkins the whole time you eat, like when he was on family feud except he is kissing you instead of some housewife?

Thanks
David

I am not understanding my relationship with God! I have been through a series of hellish events this past week! Just to give you background, I have been screwing up on my internship costing me my credibility, my car completely stopped in the middle of traffic and it's brand new, then I got to work and made the boss mad because she didn't see the email I sent her stating I would be gone in the morning. After I was dismissed I got a traffic ticket. Since then I have come to odds with God. Just like you get mad with your parents, I am mad with him. Is he trying to tell me something? I have always put him first and I am beginning to think that there is no God! What am I striving for if all will happen is me getting striked? I have been feeling awkward lately with the person I am and how I fit in with society. I have been asking for guidance but he is nowhere to be found. Someone help me understand this thing called life?

If an atheist has no religion and doesn't believe in any god, why should he have to choose? Can he choose a book of poems or a physics text book, instead?

when i was a kid i looked up to adults and thought them mature and wise. But the most amazing thing i have learned now that im soon to be 37 is some adults no matter how old still act like children.

Lets be honest he could be working in Mcdonalds right now and no one would believe it was him.

Would he have to produce 5000 Mcfish sandwiches for people to take him seriously?

How did they decide which animals should not be eaten? Eg...Dog, Cat, Swan, Elephant, Horse etc...

How come we eat pigs when they are intelligent?
How come we don't eat animals who are equally intelligent?

This question is for all to answer. I just want to know why people either find themselves hating him so much, or loving him with all of their hearts, minds, and souls. Thank you and God bless.

with the scared victims who are in their beds. You have probably heard such stories.

Does anyone have an open mind with these stories? Surely, it can't be that mad if a documentary has been commisioned to film the victim's story!

Does anyone believe in ghosts but DOES NOT believe in these incidents?
