I've done research on it and some argue that what people see is real while others believe they are just images from past memories. Personally my grandpa has had one. What do you think?

I just want to know. My fiance is really struggling to get another job. He is studying autocad, and could get a job in that field, but because of complications he can't now. I have been praying so hard for him to get this job, and give thanks everyday for what God has done for me, and what I got in my live.

I just want to see him happy, because he's so unhappy in his current job. It's not like he is sitting and doing nothing, he works really hard to go forward in live, but everytime when it looks like it gonna happen, something prevents it from happening.

Why doesn't God want to help us?

There seems to be an overriding aura of the extremes of only two points of view. Either Christian or Atheist. There are many Theists who are not Christians and many Atheist of all descriptions. So why is there such a seemingly narrow overview that everyone is either a Christian or an Evolutionary Atheist. I mean there is a rainbow of belief systems out there and there seems a wee bit to much focus on these two strips.
I think we would all benefit from thinking a little more outside the box so to speak. What is your opinion?

I am going to spew chunks!!!!!!

Have you ever seen "ignorant atheists" or "stupid right winger agnostics" or "dumb whoevers" posted? If you have please show me. I can show you quite a few that have been posted against us.

Just because you don't agree with our point of view or simply don't have the ability to understand it and continue to bash us because of that fact makes YOU a little crazy and quite ignorant.

AND - TO NOTE - I KNOW IT IS NOT JUST ATHIESTS AND AGNOSTICS. I DON'T HAVE ROOM TO WRITE DOWN EVERY BELIEF OR DISBELIEF SO DON'T THROW THE "WHAT MAKES YOU THINK IT'S US" CARD.

Also, another thing that is bugging me is that some of you state that hate stems from religion and christianity. That is just plain stupid.

It is said in the bible that christians will be persecuted. This site is proof that is happening as we speak.

Who agrees with me? Is anyone else out there sick of this continual bad mouthing of Christians? or have you become complacent?

Would it be fair to say that it is their most fundamental fear - to finally realize that they are insignificant?? What else could it be?

I read this today. I just love his explanation.
"When I asked where his devotion to the blessed mother started, Joe said that he heard Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen say on television one evening that in a family, if you want to ask your parents for something you go first to your mother. Joe said that after he met Archbishop Sheen and they had become good friends, he told him how much that advice meant. Archbishop Sheen said that he was simply passing on what the gospel story about the wedding feast at Cana told us. The servants told Mary that they had run out of wine, she told Jesus and then told the servants to do as Jesus instructed. She knew he’d listen to her request and, Archbishop Sheen told Joe, that’s the lesson for us – talk to Mary first. "

If you want to read the entire article, it's from the National Catholic Register, and you'll find it here: http://www.catholic.org/views/views_news.php?id=24621

For those of you too young to know who Joe is, read the article.

My sister is getting married at the end of this month. I have paid for airline tickets to fly there for the wedding. I have also arranged all of the flowers and paid for them.

Am I still required to buy them a wedding "gift" since I have been out so much expense already?
- as an additional note, my sister has lived with her fiancee for 7 years and they have two children together. She has not registered for gifts anywhere.

I would just like some advice on what the proper protocal would be for this.

If not, why not? Any scriptural support?

I'm agnostic, so I neither need atheists telling me I'm foolish for believing in God nor Christians telling me I'm betraying my faith.

I am seeking information.

'll try to make this long story short:

I have been studying myself and the world for some time now and have changed many of my world views. At this point I no longer consider myself muslim as my family does. I am a south asian (living in North America) and althgouh in my early twenties, live at home with my parents because I'm required to by tradition. I live in a rather dysfunctional and somewhat abusive family as my parents have very strict and narrow minded requirements for us (such as having no contact with the outside world, having no friends, spending our life obeying and never questioning etc.) My life (and that of my siblings) is composed of short periods of 'good times' followed by long periods of severe verbal and sometimes physical abuse by the parents, most of the times for something as simple as not getting having too much or too little salt in the food (I cook). We never disrespect them while they go on because deep down, we know that it's not really their fault they are this way. They came from very religious and severly dysfunctional families themselves. It has now come to the point that they are asking (forcing) me to marry a muslim boy of their choice. I have a Catholic boyfriend and we are very serious about each other. After much talk and debate, we decided that he would 'convert' just for them (in reality neither of us belives in the religion, so it would be just to make the folks happy). I told them about him for the first time yesterday and they got extremely angry, I feel lucky to be alive right now. They now tell me that I either have to convert him and marry him and then leave home and never show them my face again (they would disown me), or I have to marry the guy they want me to AND do it with a smile on my face. They are also very serious about telling me that if I go ahead and marry my boyfriend and he doesn't convert, then they have a God given responsibility to kill me (literally murder me) and they will do it no matter what they have to face for it!

My question is, what am I to do in this situation? As bad as they behave towards me, they're still my parents and I don't want to hurt them by leaving. On the other hand, I can't marry the guy they want me to, not just because of my boyfriend, but because I do NOT want to live my life being muslim, and I will NEVER bring my children up under this religion!! I believe that we all choose our life path in the time between lives, and do it based on the lessons we want to learn from the life. I just wish I could figure out the lesson I am supposed to learn from this? Which is more important? My beleifes and principles, or the feelings of those who brought me up? Any opinions?
