I am betting that regardless of our faiths we all are called to feed the hungry and care for the poor. I know we are as Christians. Do you help in any way?

The only other creatures on Earth that will kill off other "colonies" (that I am aware of) are ants.

I just read this AP story:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070605/ap_on_re_eu/wartime_pope_1

What do you think about it?

Check out the fourth paragraph in particular -- such a bad spin job it's almost comical.

The pope's speaking out would have accelerated the exterminations? First, the Germans really couldn't have done things much faster than they did. Second, since a lot of Catholics tend to hypnotically obey every Vatican edict, perhaps a denunciation would have prompted some heroic life-saving counter-measures. There are numerous accounts of people of all faiths [including Catholics] helping the persecuted; bishops, cardinals, and popes were not included. I have nothing against Catholic people, but the hierarchy of the church is another matter.

Oy vey.......

I am getting my 3 month old son baptized on the 24th this month. My daughter will be 7 years old next month and very much wants to be a part of the ceremony and be baptized herself. I am having a hard time trying to explain something like this to my almost 7 year old in a way that she fully understands this commitment. Is there anyone out there that can help?

Jesus said rich men don’t go to Heaven easily and even implied that it wasn’t possible.

Why are so many people with money and property Christian if they are probably going to Hell?

He said something I found very intresting. All these Christians piss and moan about abortion and how as soon as the egg is fertilized by the sperm, the baby is technically alive. Well this minister I talked to said that was wrong. He showed me some quote in the Bible that said that the baby is not technically alive untill the mother can feel it inside her. Let me ask you something all you fundamentalist Christians. Is the Bible wrong and you are right???

I know that the book is very esoteric and includes stories of angelic giants. However, the early church rejected its canonical status because of its bizarre nature. Should the early church included this book?

I have to read the book of Proverbs, from the bible, in a couple of days. There are 31 chapters in the book of Proverbs and I am supposed to summarize, talk about key points, and describe how I feel about each chapter.
I was wondering if anyone knew a website that had some notes on the book of proverbs or any helpful guidance sites.
Or perhaps if you have read the book of Proverbs, or any specific one, feel free to leave the specific chapter, what it is about, and what you thought about that chapter.
Your help would most certainly be appreciated.. Thanks

I have read that in some Covens There is One Grimoire that belongs to the coven, and the coven members will copy it down in there own BoS.

My question is "Is this a normal thing? do they do this just to get them started off, or what?"

Thanks!

If you don't believe in Quetzalcoatl (the feathered serpent god of Aztec culture), doesn't that require just as much faith as it takes to believe in Quetzalcoatl?

I saw someone answer the would kill Satan if the were God for a day. It raised an interesting question in my mind. You can't have good with out evil, joy with out sorrow, life with out death. Its a balance. And with out Satan there would be no hell. So would people ask for grace? The question is
Would you kill Satan if you could?

the Holy Spirit, isn't voiced more from the pulpit? Do you think it is because there is more of an acceptance of sin within Churches? They don't want people to be consience of the consequences of sin?

What is your opinion on when you buy something, then weeks later you find out that a friend or a family member buys the same thing, but always has to "out do" you, and turns around and says, "well, mine is better or bigger."
Not that I am jealous, and my hubby says that everyone likes what we have!
It just irks me sometimes.
Someone told me one time to go and rent an expensive car for a week and tell everyone that we bought it. LOL

I have a difficult time understanding how and why people would make such a judgement or assumption. Looking to understand where others are coming from. I am a Mormon and proud to be, I just don't understand what in peoples minds can justify such statement.

Why is Judaism so intolerant of idolatry? I don't mean massive temples with human sacrifices. What about a civilized idolater, in the privacy of his own home. With a job, a family, a mortgage, donates to the World Hunger Fund and Greenpeace -- and instead of one G-d, he just happens to have two or three or even several dozen, all lined up on the dashboard of his car

Jesus' half-cousin Bob is returning to earth, and his return is soon; and all I get is people laughing. Even the Jehovah's Witnesses won't listen to me. It makes me sigh.
