than why does he feel the need to "test" faith? Isn't that just sadistic of him, since he would already know the outcome?


(p.s. I'm Wiccan, but we can all be curious, right?)

"a person who believes that God created the universe and then abandoned it"

Where, in your opinion, has God gone? and what is He doing?

This is a serious question.

thank you

Is it ironic that SETI has been scanning the vast heavens for decades using design detection methodology to search for intelligent life “somewhere out there”, has yet to discover any intelligent life what so ever; and yet the people who run SETI and like-minded folks have unanimously failed to look inward at our own planet, using a very similar design detection methodology to discover what actually is “somewhere out there”?

When it is a thank you to all in the community for your prayers and good wishes for my sister Dottie. It worked, today she is sitting up eating well and as fusty as always. Will be a few days before they release her, but the worst is over.

Would it be odd to wear long sleeve thermal shirts in public with no shirt over it? I know it's odd to wear Under Armor in public because it's skin tight, but thermals are loose. They're also not that see through.

I have recently heard that 25% of catholics in the U.S. are of spanish decent. I am just wondering about the other 75%. I think at one time Irish catholics were the ethnic majority in the U.S. I also know in the 1920's many catholic ethnic groups inter-married like many Irish-Catholics were maryring Italian-Catholics. So I'm just curious what percentage of Americans are Irish-Catholics, Italian-Catholics, German-Catholics, Polish-Catholics, French-Catholics, Mixed Ethnicity-Catholics etc. and how many Catholics are Converts that are decendents from some ethnicity that is not dominated by the Catholic religion.

I am just curious .

I'm familiar with this groups theology regarding the holiness of god but i simply don't see why god and Jesus deserve praise and worship. According to them we are created to fail with the foreknowledge that we will fail so that god can give us a way out of this failure (which he created) and be a hero.

Simple question. If i stabbed you and then gave you first aid and CPR that saved your life would you thank me for saving your life? Or would you condemn me for attempting to murder you?

According to this theology god appears to be a psychotic egomaniac with Münchhausen by proxy syndrome. It simply baffles me that anyone takes that stuff seriously.

If you dont believe in God, then why bother? Are you guys that are trying so hard to deny God not logged into this page because you are led by the Holy Spirit to get a wake-up call?

I think people waste time on myths like god and the easter bunny and santa clause because they believe in nothing else, or simply haven't the brains to figure things out for themselves.

My mom passed away a few years ago and sometimes I dream that she comes to me and says that she is doing good and tells me not to be sad and that she loves me. these dreams seem so real, like she is really there. Could she be coming to me to tell me she's ok or is that just wishful thinking. Has anyone else had this happen?

Is it honestly significantly harder to score better grades just because it's an ivy league or are average universities such as state schools and the like reasonably just as difficult?

is it just propaganda that ivy leagues are genius universities? i'm not negating the reality that you will find more highly intellectual individuals at ivy leagues, but realistically, do you agree that they're overrated?

Does it come down to one simple thing...jealousy? Are these anti-monarchists angry that they don't have all that wealth and power? They claim that the monarchy is not fair. Not fair to who---them? Do you anti-monarchist think that any average joe would have a chance in hell of being elected head of state if the throne was abolished? No, the post would go to he/she hat has the most connections and the most money to campaign. And one has to wonder what kind of person would want to be elected to such a position---probably some egomaniac that wants to be seen by everyone as they do their ceremonial work for the country. I'm sorry that this is quickly turning into a rant on my part, but I just don't get the draw behind the logic. Why does every single ******* post in the country need to be chosen by the people? Complete democracy is VERY overrated. When people are demanding to pick a purely ceremonial position with absolutely NO power whatsoever, we have to re-examine our priorities.
