And they also state that the bones of the dinosaurs were buried by the flood which made scientists miscalculate their age! And now claim they are only a few thousand years old!

I nevr listen to opera and dont like it but a friend sent me a video of an ordinary looking man singing opera. The female judge looked like she was going to jump up and kiss him and I also felt this very sensual feeling as if his gift was what attracted me 2 him. Am I right that God has made us as women attracted to a man not onlu 4 his looks but for his talents ? It made me feel that at tymez looks can almost be inconsequential when it comes to attraction to a man when he is filled with talent or gifts.

Im 18 and up to now I have been only attracted to boyz with surfboards, s8terz and lean and buff bodies ( and spikey hair). Now Im wondering if I have been shallow in my thinking.

I am sorry if any of my questions came off as mocking or making fun of what you believe. That's not my intent. I was genuinely curious about some of this stuff when doing my own research on the Church. Right now, I am technically LDS, a convert since April 8th 2006 and still active. However so many questions and descrepencies have arose lately when doing my own further research on questions I was never able to get answers for from Church members. I am not trying to change your mind about your religion, nor am I trying to bash it. I have a lot of respect for LDS people and their way of life. I know there is a lot of truth in the Church, I just don't believe that it's THE ONE and ONLY true church anymore. There are so many things they never told me in my missionary lessons that I found out on my own. I am still happy to have found the Church, there is no denying how much of a part it played in helping me get on a better path. I hope you accept my humble apologies and God Bless!

Is it your parents? Your children? Your spouse? What makes your life so meaningful that even in the worst of circumstances, you would pull through if you needed inspiration and that which gave you meaning was that inspiration? In a world so full of hatred and ignorance, don't you think it's time to stop fighting over disagreements and give peace an effort? And to those in the Western world and the Middle East, the first being what I am from, why is it so hard for you to just live and let live? All religions preach peace as the main message, and everyone does differ in opinion, but is that any reason to kill for? Who is with me on voting to put down the weapons, erase hatred from the heart, and say loudly "We won't accept this. You must stop. The children are suffering, don't teach them this drama!" Are you?

For people who are Muslim, I wondered-what do you think of people who practice Wicca, and of the Wiccan belief system itself?

As someone who studies religions all the time, and has a BA in Religious Studies, I am wondering if I have lost sight of which words are specialized, and which ones everyone knows. I was chastised last night on here for using the word "proselytize" and I was rather taken aback by that. So, just tell me honestly, do you know the meaning of the following words, without having to look them up?

1. Proselytize
2. Eschatology
3. Apocalyptic Prophet
4. Monotheism
5. Orthodoxy
6. Canon
7. Pluralism
8. Exclusivism
9. mantra
10. karma
11. nirvana

Don't be embarassed if you don't know them all. I just need honest answers. I assume some will know them all, and maybe some won't. It's ok!

What I mean by that is this is it possible to be any of those religions without actually practicing any of those religions or going to any church or mosque or synagogue or temples of any kind?

I'm sending thank you cards for people who came to the funeral and those who sent flowers for my dad's recent funeral.

Question is should I send a thank you card for people who sent me condolences cards too?

I'm a doctor in a small town so I got hundreds of cards and I don't know if I have the time.

But they are my patients and I feel like I should send them a card.

I guess I'll just have to take the time to do it, so I'm not sure why I'm even asking the question.

What do you think?

I applied to join one of the local Masonic Lodges (UK), and was sponsored by a member of this Lodge. However, my sponsor is now very ill and I cannot ask him why my application was rejected.

Can any Freemason give me, at least, a hint? I have no criminal record, I work in Law Enforcement, I gave twenty years of my free time to the Trades Union movement as a Branch and Divisional Officer (unpaid), and I am now in line to become the voluntary Admin Officer for my local branch of the RNLI. I am a religious person.

Would it be worth my while to apply to another Lodge?

as I have exams to resit, quite a lot of them.But at the same time I might be missing out on making some money and it might provide me with things to do, which comes first education or the part time job which I dont even like that much?The exams are University exams and I even moved closer to the University to focus more on the course as it is really intense and hard!And if I dont do well in the exams I dont get into the second year!

And if not, why do you copy and paste? Do you trust someone else will be able to say 'it' better?

Are you doing this at the expense of your developing your own faculties of reasoning?

Don't you feel like you're cheating yourself or are you happy to regurgitate ideas and claim them as your own, or merely to be applauded for being able to find the 'right' quotation to match the moment?

What if it doesn't appear so 'right' to others. Can you conceive that your ability to 'match' quotes to questions (for this is what it is at its simplest level) may be flawed?.

It reminds me of English Literature classes where people tried to revise for exams by learning essays that they could apply to any question. Many of these students got poor marks for 'failing to read the question' i.e. answering a question that wasn't asked. One that THEY wanted to answer.
