I've been to this particular place a couple of times and on several ocassions I could've sworn I had seen what looked like a dragon tail, and on this other time I looked up and saw the upper torso head shoulders and wings of what to me looked and felt like a dragon... it was a black one though but for some reason it's presence didn't upset me. I felt quite happy at the moment I saw this creature. (As opposed to what OTHER creatures have made me feel)

Now let me make my stand very clear: I am not here to debate on, or advertise Pascal's Wager, but how many of you have really given it a thought? If you found out too late that God is real, what would you end up with?

Throw the ball back at me, and i'll tell you realisticly and honestly (though unlikely, given the modern evidences and findings), that if Christianity isn't real, then i'll just die when i die, as simple as that.

have you thought of that possibility and its implicaitons, or have you been closed to that idea, and have never given it a thought?

PS. i know how sacarstic and witty the non-believers here can be, but do the real atheists a favour, don't label yourself as one of them if you're going to give a rude answer on their behalf.

I'm genuinely curious about how you guys think, that's all, thanks in advance for the kind answers.

You do not need to embrace any religion to answer this: We are asking a question any man or woman can ponder.

The supernatural antagonist of all that isn't "right", the knower of things that we shouldn't know, the embrace of things temporal and earthly. Whatever you may believe, if the chance was presented to you, would you take it?

I often hear people speak of radical Islam. What is a radical muslim? Is it a muslim that believes in the quran and hadith or what?

A recent news article I read has me thinking... the question of discrimination has again been raised. The government is debating the sexual orientation regulations, meant to outlaw discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation when accessing goods or services, and religious groups are up in arms, arguing that the regulations will force them to act against their beliefs.
Is it possible to please all of the people all of the time?
Where will it all end?

i hate to tell u this but Islam isn't the most violent religion in history Christianity is and I'm a Christian saying this lets take a look shall we

1)the Spanish Inquisition 31,912 people dead

2)the crusades 18 all together. we don't know the exact death toll. but we do know the pope made a decree that any Christian that killed a Muslim was not murdering. and we know that it was a common practice for the Christian crusaders to kill the entire city when it fell that included women children Muslim,Christian, and Jews in fact when Jerusalem fell one curseder wrote that the street were so full of blood that it came up past his feet

3) the Holocaust now before u say Hitler wasn't Christian the man was catholic. he was a catholic alter boy growing up. so he was raised to believe that the Jews and others were evil. don't u find it odd that every person that was thrown into the consternation camps Gypsies, Jews, mental patients Protestants were the same kind of people on trial during the Spanish Inquisition ? 6 mil there and that's just the Jews

now before u calling the a terrorist Muslim think of this we as Christians have our own terrorist groups called the KKK and the Nazi skin heads that also bomb places the KKK have been known to bomb black churches along with abortion clinics. and the skin heads well does the name Tim mcvey ring a bell? but most Christan's will say well they aren't Christian so why don't the Muslims get the same way out about their terrorist ?

You never Can tell When you're gonna need a Little Green Jesus

You never Can tell When you're gonna
need a Little Green Jesus
Standing by your side
Holding your hand.

You never Can tell When you're gonna
need a Little Green Jesus
To help you hold your
head up high again.

These are troubled times
we live in.
Hell's almost a given.
And it's up to you
And Jesus to set the path.

He is Strong and Mighty
With the weak beside him.
Put your hand in his
And go his way.

Leave "tempted" ways behind you.
You let Jesus guide you.
Invite him in your heart
And he will stay.

We're both 41. Everytime he puts condom he loses erection, so we do it without. He knew I wasn't on pill, but came inside.He may've rationalized it knowing I want children. He does too. Cultural diffs are too great for us to have committed relatship. He is Moroccan/Spanish;I'm American. He's chauvenistic; I expect respect. I think he's irrational; he thinks I don't live in the moment. The biggest problem now is I fear him, that he will take kid away and I'll never see him again. This is a man with abundant resources and can fly the kid away in his helicopter or sail away on his boat. He even told me he had spent time looking for a surrogate mother, and wanted to raise a son in the rainforest of Brazil. I made it clear I wasn't the one for that.I've seen goodness in him, but he has mother issues, so may not respect the value of mother/child bond. He just left country for 2 yrs., but his fave home is in U.S. near me. He'll be back. I'd like to not tell him, but fear repercussions. Help!

A little background first.

I have been dating a mexican guy for 1 month now. I like him and I want us to (become boyfriend/girlfriend). He has been in the US for 4 years, but his English is not great. I have taken 3 semesters of Spanish, so we can still talk.

I can speak and understand spoken Spanish, but I can't read and write Spanish.

We are going through a bit of a rough patch and I need to send him an email telling him I want us to take a break.

Here is what I need translated:

Hi Antonio,
I am sorry but I've decided not to go out with you this Saturday. I want a new boyfriend, and I think you might be perfect for me, but I don't like shy guys that much. You have been in the U.S. for 4 years now, its time for you to come out of your shell and start being more aggresive! I want to take a break for one month while you focus on practicing your english, and going to the gym everyday(his new years resolutions). In one month, I will call you about our future.

thanks!

Israel are thinking seriously about attacking Iran's nuclear sites soon. America will not help them(typical) and they are supposed to be allies. Allies my ***. Do you see Iran fighting back? Do you see Russia helping them with the Arab world(helping Iran) attacking Israel? Ho do you see it play out. Do you think it could turn out to be the Ezekiel Prophecy where God will destroy most of Israel's enemy's? I cannot wait to see God kick Iran, Russia and the Arab worlds ***, and to step in Supernaturaly to defend Israel. Israel will not need America after all God will do a much better job at destroying the enemy's than the whole world put together. I like how God has not forgotten his chosen people. God said it will take seven months to bury the death, because there will be a lot of them. So Christians how do you see the war turn out when Israel attack Iran? If this is the case, the world dictator will come on the scene I believe not long after to make a 7 year peace covernant(trib)

I am just wondering if old fashioned lesbians exist. I am 26 and pretty old fashioned, I believe in opening doors, I do not believe in letting my woman pay for me.

I belive in "Courting" women, bringing flowers, surprises, romatic things. But the women I meet want booty calls and hook ups.

I know when it comes to women my ideas are antiquated. I am 26 not 86 so this may sound strange coming from someone my age.

But I really want to know where to find a real lesbian lady.

NOT BISEXUAL OR A BUTCH HATER.

But a REAL lesbian that is a lady, KNOWS she is a lady and EXPECTS to be treated as such. Am I wrong to be looking for a woman in my age group or should I be looking for someone older????
