Some prayers are novena prayers while some are simple prayers not really "composed" as novenas. May I still use these prayers for novenas or must I use novena prayers?

I have noticed that I have been just saying 'Morning!' in a relatively chipper way to the tenants of the building I work at the front desk of.

Would this appear rude? That is, me not saying 'Good Morning!' as though I was imparting a blessing for them to actually have a 'Good Morning' versus just a confirmation of 'well, this here is Morning! so be it!'

Words of thought?

Popular argument #1:
Homosexuality is a sin according to the Christian religion: There is controversy over whether or not the Bible actully condemns homosexuality. It seems to me that God was mad at the Soddomites because they were using sex frivolously, not just because they had same-sex partners.

#2
It is unnatural: Scientists have discovered gay sheep and whales...if animals are homosexual, why wouldn't humans be?

#3
Our civilization will end!: Our current rate of population growth is far too high. It has multiplied over 2x in the past 50 years. We need to get to ZPG (zero population growth) or we may put too much pressure on Earth's ecological processes.

What does the Bible teach about female head covering? Because i've heard a lot about women having to cover their head when they pray, and that in order to always be ready to pray, a woman should keep her head covered.

A few people I know said that when they were younger, it was customary to wear a hat or head covering to Church.

Why do so few women now wear the covering?

I just started a new job. Everyone is nice and polite to me. There is this one woman, whom is the same age as me. Who sits very close to me (so its very obvious), and fails to acknowledge my presence at all. Being that we are similar in age I have attempted to start a conversation with her, but it is like speaking to a wall. She says good morning to everyone, but me. She is outgoing with everyone, but me. She overtly ignores me. How should I deal with this? I’m a very nice person, I don’t feel right ignoring her in return, but at the same time I don’t want to waste my time dealing with her rudeness and aloofness towards me. How should I deal?

Lastnight I had this dream that my grandmother and I were in some sort of church for a funeral. As we made our way down the hall there were rosary's, satues of Mary and Jesus and jewlery. The were beautiful. I asked my grandmother to buy me one but she didn't. Then for some reason I drifted to where the Mary was and her lips began to move as if she wanted to tell me something, but I couldn't hear what she was saying. In my dream she wanted me to do something bad to her and I thought to myself this is the work of the devil. The devil allowed in the church? For some reason I wanted to say the Our Father. But something inside told me to say the Hail Mary. As I began saying it, these people or demonds tried stopping me. As I glanced down I seen % men laying on the ground. Two of them on eachside had their eyes open and the other's closed. What does this mean? I don't go to church anymore. I'm a catholic. I've been baptised, had my first communion and was confirmed.

but after studying (among other reasons) use this as one of the reasons they became atheists. Some have even been to seminary. My question is, why so many thousands of others who have attended good seminary's stay and still believe? Don't you think they'd be leaving in droves? Seminary is quite difficult and delves into theology, languages, history etc. You'd think they'd come up with a different truth.

Seems to me Intelligent Design is more a case for polytheism than monotheism.

If they don’t like a man, why do they use stuff that looks like male private part? I am not judgmental or anything but I just wonder if they need to use that stuff why don’t they use the real one hanging gracefully and naturally on every man?
Hehe don’t hate on me I am just dope, want to know why

There is a shadow in my house that will not leave my family alone. The object is no bigger than a cat although it seems like it is longer. It is always watching us like it is waiting to torment us. My son says he sees it all the time and that it is comming to get him. I have told my mother about it and what to do but I just do not know. Drop some advice please.
