Lot's of declassified experiments and events, we did not know about. But what kind of numbers of people were involved?

Can you name specific events that have been later discovered?

Zlota Baba - Polish "Golden Woman" a Goddess who received many sacrifices and gave oracles, depicted in gold.

This is all I could find on this goddess. Does any one know anything else about to her, or maybe where I could find info on her. The only thing that Wikipedia had was what I listed.

Does the bible or the Cu’ran say anything at all about god's desire for man to develop science or research?

Here's a sample of what I'm asking about... (an excerpt of a Y/A user's answer.) Where do these notions come from?
------------------------
Religions comes from God, the answer comes from God. God created everything in this world, thus he created the answers.

We have brain and ability to think. God choose certain people to have more intelligents to find, research and to produce what we call science. Without God's gifted to the persons, none will know anything at all. Everything is God's will.

Religions is a way God teach human. its where the history, presents and future was stated and thats where humans originate the research of this world. They searching things that been claimed in holy books. They trying to find proves of what been said in holy books. thats where the exploration started.

God teach us through religion.

I have repeatedly read questions on here asking Atheists where they get their morality if not from God. I've read many non-Atheists accuse Atheists of using their lack of belief to get away with "immoral" or sinful behavior. But based on several answers from this question (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ak0Ch2tegn2jYe1eogb.Akc8.Bd.?qid=20070708172947AAlg00R) and previous questions, doesn't this mean that Christians can do whatever they want in life as well?

Now, obviously, some people have answered that what we do in life DOES matter, so I'm also asking, what's the "true" Christian stance here? Does immoral or sinful behavior matter in life or not?

And if it doesn't:

Why pick on homosexuals, Atheists, Agnostics, etc.? Why say they are going to hell or that they are sinners? Why hold nonbelievers to a standard if not believers as well?

I recently read a quote from the Gospel of John that disturbed me. It was John 14:28, where Jesus says "the Father is greater than I."

Doesn't this mean Jesus is saying he is less than God and not equal to him?

First of all, if you are going to give your opinion please be respectful. Saying things that are rude against such groups will get you nowhere.
Okay, I am going to be a freshman in college this coming fall and I still have not made up my mind on whether or not to join a sorority. I talked with the Greek Coucil Reps and such and they seemed like great people. At the school I will be attending, hazing is not a problem as it is strictly forbidden and punishable so I am not worried about that.
My problem is that I have been an avid member of my debate team throughout highschool and I am planning to join the team in college.
Do you think a sorority will take up too much time?
I am also very against drinking/drugs/excessive partying...
help please :)

Nothing makes me satisfied.
1) I thought that having all my courses at university A+ s will make satisfied and I really did that I took 8 courses and I got A+ in all of them but this didn't make me satisfied.
2) I tried masturbation but it didn't work.
3) I am actually muslim and a lot of people advised me to be closer to God and that this is the best way to be satisfied but I am really shy to face him. How can I be closer to God if I masturbate and I know that masturbation is banned in my religion? How can I do that if I spend at least 3 hours everyday listening to music and I know that music is banned in my religion. sometimes I feel that I just want to have sex with somebody and sometimes I have a strong desire to drink alcohol. I love a Jewish man and I know that I can not marry him because muslim women can not marry non muslim men.
But I love him. I pray but I am not sure if God accepts my prayer. I am lost and I don't know what to do.
please help . Thank you.

I hope I don't end up regreting this question but I am sincere in asking this. I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses and when I am out in my ministy work many people say the same thing to me over and over (just before slamming the door)
"I have my OWN religion", or "We're happy with our church", or (my favorite) "I'm a BAPTIST"
I find this amusing because nearly all "religions" preach love of neighbor, and even enemy, right? So if your brother shows up at your door wanting to discuss your Father, why is this so objectionable to you?
Most of you don't have any problem with missionaries going to developing nations to convert the natives, right? Didn't they have "their own religion"? Didn't those missionaries "try to cram their own beliefs down (the natives) throats"?
Jesus gave all his folowers the command to preach the "good news" of the Kingdom. If you think I'm wrong, why aren't you preaching to me?

When I was a child, my best friend's mother always used to say that whenever silverware was dropped it meant company was company, what you dropped (fork, knife, spoon) determining who was going to come (male, female, etc). Does anybody remember these? If so, you remember what they all were? For example, was it that a dropped knife meant a male would come to visit? No, I don't really believe this--every time I drop something it jogs a memory and I was curious is all.

1. Believe in something which has little to no proof of existance

2. Automatically suggest any other religion EG. Paganistic Religions (which some were pre-christian) Is either wrong or "Not True"

3. Feel that whenever somebody disagrees with you, you must use the "God will punish you/You will go to hell" Lines

4. Feel you need to change the laws because of YOUR religion. (Eg. The Christians who got annoyed because people can shop on a sunday)

5.Break your own commandments (EG. (im using shortened virsions) you must not kill, yet, according to the bible, god drowned millions of people.

6. Feel you need to always lead others onto YOUR path (People have a choice)

7. If he is such a "Loving God" Why does he condem eternal

Christ Love
by Shirley Smothers



Heart beats young

Heart beats old,

A love of Christ

Your heart beats bold.



Be ye rich

Be ye poor,

A love of Christ

You'll have so much more.



The rain falls

On just and unjust.

But remember Christ

Rain settles the dust.



Don't float listlessly

On a sea of confusion.

For a life without

Christ is a life of delusion.



Don't be the sand

Upon the shore.

Open your heart

Christ will open the door.

will you open your heart, just a bit? He will show you.

Clearly, without polygamy the Mormon church would not exist today.

The First President and Founder of LDS, Joseph Smith, created polygamy as a "moral" way to take several lovers. He had 34 wives.

It was also Smith who started the "child bride" facet of Mormonism by taking teenage brides as young as 14.

The Second President of the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints, Brigham Young was the worse recorded with 51 wives and 56 children.

The Third President of the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints (1880-1887) had 7 wives and 35 children

The Fourth President of the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints (1889-1898) had 6 wives.

The Fifth President of the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints (1898-1901) had 10 wives.

The Sixth President of the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints (1901-1918) had 48 children between his 6 wives
