.......enters into some peoples' body and answers peoples' queries suggests solutions for their problems?

In some places, they have a ritual of local residents gathering in one place (say a temple) and calling their village God or beloved God to enter into a man or a woman (selected through some special rituals) and ask their questions. How far is it believable? Can it really happen. Do really God come and enter a body whenever he is called?

It spells out the reasons and mistakes of religion in a very elegant way.

I have this theory that women are just as sexual as men are. The only reason why they don't act like men is because of pressure from society.
Imagine a culture where little boys were taught that sex is immoral and bad and they must be virgins before marriage. Any guy who did have sex before marriage was as bad, unclean and given no respect by either sex. The little girls were taught that to be a "real women" they would need to have sex with as many guys as possible. And any girls who did have sex with many guys were treated with respect and admired. In this culture the media also protrays this message over and over again.
Now in a cultural like this do you think the sexual behavior of men and women would be different?
Really think about this, I think the sexual behavior of men and women is largely because current socialization. What do you guys think?

Why do people of faith believe its o.k. to put down non-believers..and why do we put up with it?
Isn't it just another cast or clich system at work? Like geeks and Jocks?

Yes you heard me right "Very, Very"soon.I want to tell you if you do not know this the Madrid peace conference us up and running. They are talking about reinvigorating the stalled peace process that was born in 1993. That conferance is now underway with participants from Israel, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordon, the US, Palastine, Russia, Saudia Arabia, the EU is hosting the event. On the 9th of this month Solana(Javia) visited with Henry Kissinger whose name has been assosiated with more world order plots and assosiations than anyone. The goal if all the primary players concerned in the matters addressed here are now world order players- even global elitists. I would not be suprised at all if a "Spirit" of peacemaking comes out of the event because of all the New world orders elements involved behind the scenes. Christians do not get back to me if you are not looking forward to Christs return. Genuine replies only .

I have been much pleased with those faithful who have praised my name and followed in the wake of my love and kindness. But the time has come to extend the hand of salvation to those who still do not eat their pasta in rememberance of me. To those I say, my love is great and so is my mercy; repent, and thou shalt be welcomed unto me.
Peace be with you as this is my last visit for a time. I go to my homeland of Kansas to visit and otherwise hob-nob with my fellow Gods about your future life with me in my kingdom. RAmen, my dear, dear friends.

I've read through a lot of the V-Day question's on here. A lot of you are "normal" and are looking for "normal" gifts. I've gone on Google and searched for "Personality quizzes that will help find the perfect gift", etc. No luck, or I've given up too quickly. If you have a site pertaining to my searches, that would help.

Now, down to the details:
He's a raver; a rivet-heart at heart. He's open-minded, but above all, he loves his jungle, drum and bass, etc. He spins poi: fire and/or glowsticks. He works in a granite shop, works hard, and absolutely loves it. He calls it "granite creations". He words hard; he parties hard. He absolutely adores me.

So... I'm practically broke. I have no job, but I do get soem earnings. (about $30 a week)...Not much, but...I'm 16.Maybe I can even approach him with an idea that we can both put up on.
Other than those details, just to inform you, the "romantic dinner/ movie" won't cut it for me. Having "me" for his gift... well when does he not?

you will go to hell? you keep answering me with this statement "if you don’t follow his law, then you are not going to heaven."

and you know what i say, no body is going to heaven because no body follow his laws. Example: exodus 35:2 "Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death." How many are breaking this law I will say more than half of the population on earth break this law.

If you don’t follow this law you are not going to heaven because you are not fulfilling his 3 th commandment right ?... but i know you are going to come up with an excuse such as this and that, because of this or because of that.

Why? because you what a peace of heaven no matter what. Even if that means to go against god…

Hypocrisy = perdition

the law is the law and you cannot throw away some of the rules just because you don’t like them. right? God is infallible.

I was just wondering if other people still believed that? My husband and I do, and have lost alot of friends because of it. I think that alot of times, when there is a relationship between the sexes that there is some kinda of intamcy, and in a since then it is an emotion affair. Just wondering if there are others out there that believe the same?

Did you notice how the troublemakers on this site that make racist, rude, and insulting comments on here are the ones who hide behind their screenname and avatar, you can't email them or IM them, but yet they are always on here starting topics to hype everyone up. That's like slapping someone and running lol, why do we (as in grown, civilized, mature adults) even bother to participate in their stupid topics? I think this site would be much peaceful if we completely ignored them, reporting them will work, but they come back, so whats the point?

And you were there and they asked you to explain to them where mankind came from, like a quick history, I imagine you would tell them that god put mankind here about 6,000 years ago.
Now seriously, if they just burst out laughing, would it make you doubt your ideas a little bit? What if they told you that they have been watching this planet for 50,000 years because they saw tool-makers like us, would you think it was a test sent by god to shake your faith? That they were crazy? Or that maybe you need to rethink things?

I know it's a total hypothetical, but please think about it.

I've answered questions about "what if god showed up" and I'm a total atheist. So please return the courtesy.
