can i just write on the envelope return to sender, or do i need some noterized stamp or something. With your experience, does returning to sender at sender's costs really stop them sending junk mail?

About religion, family, patriarchy, societies, marriages etc?

Any literature would be good.

...Shoot people who continually repeat inaccuracies and flat-out lies about scientific theories (which they probably heard from their preachers, who I'm sure are experts) as well as logical fallacies to support their religion? Those people are annoying, and let's face it, the rest of us would be much happier without them.

I hear many times by people that those who believe in witchcraft and/or magick are either "childish" or "retarded". It's very funny when someone who prays or believes in a higher power says this...

Definition of "Superstition":

"a belief or notion, not based on reason or knowledge, in or of the ominous significance of a particular thing, circumstance, occurrence, proceeding, or the like."

"irrational fear of what is unknown or mysterious, esp. in connection with religion"

Im overwhelmed with irony.


My question..

Who are these people to say that someone elses superstitious beliefs are anymore "retarded", "childish", or "wrong" than their own superstitious beliefs? Do they believe other superstitious people are "retarded" because their superstition says they are?

Hello, I was in a Catholic forum trying to explain to this lady who was once an SDA but departed the faith to become a Catholic..she seems very stubborn and I was wondering if anyone could help me show her the truth the right way. She seems to be reaching out seeking something, but mostly in a huge denial of the Sabbath etc.

I dunno if I should just give up on her or what, but I felt compelled to try my best to explain the Sabbath truth and Bible prophecies to her, but I do not feel I am doing a very good job as she is coming up with all sorts of excuses, like the date 538 A.D. is not the correct date of the 1260 day prophecy.

This is how she tried to explain 538 A.D. as a flawed date of the 1260 day prophecy:

There are many places I find flaws. One of them, the use of the year 538 a.d. for the 'establishment' of the papacy. Research it, and you will find the only groups seriously using that as a date for the establishment of the papacy are groups supporting Adventist views of prophecy interpretation. Among the many problems with the date:

It was not the year Code of Justinian was given.
It was not the first such proclamation or edict.
It changed nothing about the papacy not already established by earlier laws.

If anyone would be willing to help me explain to her the forum is here:

Thanks!

I'm Protestant and our church doesn't celebrate Christmas because it's not a correct date. That also means no decorations, or trees nothing at all. So, I was wondering do all Protestants do this or just some?

Ergo, you can be Spiritual without having religious beliefs or practicing a religion.

I got a miniature Buddha for Christmas. I was told to rub his belly everyday for good luck and to keep a tray or something next to him and every day throw a dime into the dish. What do I do when the tray gets full?

I am doing an essay on 2 cultures, Irish and Bengali. Based on two books I am studying. I can't find any books, can you recommend names etc?

I found alot of books about Islam the reilgion of one, I am sure I could find a lot on Christianity, the religion of the other book. I can't find anything on Irish culture, about how seriously they take religion, I know everyone is different but I just need a general book that would talk about patriarchy, religion, family etc.

I can't find much on Bengali culture either. Do people know of anything interesting to mention?

Something really pointless and stupid..

Now I think "why did I waste my time?"
