Tell me what kind of person gossips? A sad, depressed one?
Do they usually have a family, and children or friends? Are they mentally ill, and what kind of jobs do they hold.

I speak here of a SERIOUS GOSSIPER bent on people's destruction, and malicious slander.

I want to know. I knew of a gossiper who was alone. miserable, depressed alcoholic. She was married one week and the family threw her out, because she was toxic to her husband. She likes to destroy people through her sulfuric tounge and says she enjoys backstabbing people.

Replace “Matrix” w/ “religion”.

Morpheus: The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.

Neo: I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid... you're afraid of us. You're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone, and then I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world without you. A world without rules and controls, without borders.

I am repeating this question to elicit more responses.

On the judgment day, people will be assigned Heaven or Hell. So all sinners will go to same hell, permanently, irrespective of degree of their sins. OR lesser sinners will go to milder hell and will be transformed to heaven after their term is over ? If it is 'one-size-fits-all' approach, is it not inducement for more sins, because once it is clear that one is going to hell, he/she can dive headlong into more sins, his/her punishment is not going to be increased.

On the sidelines, hell / heaven allocation is going to take place on judgment day, what is current status of hell / heaven occupancy at the moment. Whether people from last judgment day are enjoying their stay over there or these residential complex are under construction at the moment ?

If it is going to be slab-wise, temporary allocation, what do scriptures say about this ?

Belivers should not assume, because someone attends Church and calls themselves a "Christian Counselor", they are filled with the Holy Spirit and counsel according to scripture.

Most Christian counselors, not all, but most, are simply traditional psychologists or counselors who treat clients based on what they've learned from human education about mental illness and psychology, and have attempted to blend those beliefs with their seminary or religous teachings. Also, their clients are based on whom can "afford" to see them.

In contrast, Biblical Counselors, begin each session with prayer, counsel solely from scripture, free of human opinion and interpretation, and rely on prayer and guidance of the Holy Spirit when counseling a Believer.

Also, they are usually non-profit, which means those who can't afford to pay because they lack insurance or income are not turned away. If you're a Christian what are your thoughts on this?

there r so many thing americans dont know:

1. Allah is not a god we worship, Allah is God in arabic.
2. Muslims are not supposed to commit suicide so those terrorists are going straight to hell for doing that.
3. Slavery is forbidden
4. Homosexual acts are forbidden.
5. These terrorists r a bunch of retards and they r going against islam by doing wat they do.
6. Islam is the only religion that isnt named after the founder which means it isnt a man-made religion. (not trying to offend ppl from other religions here)

to make a long story short, those terrorist r not true muslims.


that's all i'll mention for now, i dont wanna bore u wit a long list

Seriously why would parents throw a huge fit and disown their kids just becuase of their sexual orientation. Why would they care who they are attracted to. Isn't this ridiculous. Teens shouldn't have to face that kind of abuse. Parents that are just hateing bigots shouldn't be parents!

Lets face it folks, he did a good job on the earth andthe rest of the life on the earth, but then he created humans. We destroy everything, including ourselves, war over just about anything, even God and we generally screw up the planet. Was Gods quality control department out to lunch when we were made?

Should a person who, say doesn't go to mass on Sunday, or, happens to like people of the same sex, or I dunno, steals a loaf of bread to feed his family have the same fate when they die as say, oooh, I dunno...

Hitler? Ted Bundy? You know, proper evil people.

I try not to divulge my practices to anyone I personally know, but since I still am a bit anonymous here, I can say that I practice sympathetic magic. This NASTY person I talk about is someone who spreads lies about everyone CONSTANTLY, has a bullying approach to everyone (Although she can hardly bully at all), has a real affinity for intrigues and scandals, and knows how to play the bosses (work). Through one of her many BRAGS, I came to know that she supposedly can do Folkloric-Scary-B-Movie-Black-wearing type of Magic. And also, she is, as she says - "INVULNERABLE" to all sorts of Magic. (In my country, it's a pop-culturish brag to say you're psychic and that you can do metaphysical stuff). She has a crystal pendant wrapped in cloth to prove that, supposedly. I have the means to allow nature to teach lessons to destructive wrongdoers, but I'm a bit held back by the simple wording of her saying she's "IMMUNE". I'd like to hear some opinions before I do anything drastic. Thanks!

I need a nickname that I can use on any site in this world, because it's unique. Any nickname I chose before already existed somewhere and I constantly needed to change something- never was able to have only one nickname on all the sites..

I got from Mihaela, Miha.ela, Mihaela.c, Miaela7, Miha3la, Elle, Mich3ll3, Ela, Ella to priceless, pric3l3ss and so on.. I can't even remember all the various nicknames I've tried and still use..

So I just made up a new one that sounds...as a name, but is made up of the word SHE/HER in 3 languages: Sie - German, Elle - French, Ea - Romanian. What do you think of it?

or.. maybe u have a better idea of a unique nickname 4 me? waiting 4 Ur help..

In context of religion- Why do innocent children have to suffer from disease or abuse? Do you feel that God allows bad things to happen to innocent babes? How does that fit into your view of God? When those terrible things happen and you hear about it in the news, how does it fit into your system of beliefs? Absolutely no offense intended, I am truly interested in your answers.

And hard for many of us to understand how this could happen in our country, we also have similar cases of people watching other's be hurt, die and they do absoloutely nothing.

One case in Detroit has a man beating a 90 yr old trying to steal his car with people watching doing NADA.
Another case in Chicago pf a Man in a Bar beating a female bartender people watching doing nothing.
It is reported more people love to watch the downfall of other's than anythng else, wether it's Paris going to jail, the drawn out sad saga of Anna Nicole, people seem to be growing cold to other's how is humanity striving to be better? and don't you think this is all happening because our world is trying to throw everything godly out of exsistence?

How about this one?

"If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads. [NIV Leviticus 20:13]"

I am looking for the Christian view point on this. Also, i am not interested in anything other than this.

Jesus is supposed to be God in human form, right but then again he is also called the son of God. Does that mean that Jesus was literally just God, with all of God's knowledge and abilities and so forth. Or was Jesus a separate being from God, who was created with divine abilities?

Basically, was Jesus supposed to be just God dressed up as a human or was he supposed to be like another deity entirely, related but seperate from God?

Do you really believe in the return of our saviour?

And, how do you feel about yourself now? Do you think there is anything about your daily routine or attitude that you could change to make yourself better?

I was browsing Ebay and I noticed an Auction for a pic of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Well what exactly is up with the pirate stuff? I don't know much about the religion or fake religion. Is it like the mascot for the religion? I am just a deconverted Mormon and would like to know more. What do you think of this picture?
