if, say, someone from europe, whom normally recieves universal health care in their own country, gets sick, would they have to go through the american health care system to get treatment? meaning, will they come home with a bill for $60,000?

i know this is in the wrong section, but there are more people to give a responce here, and you guys are hella cooler. =D

"Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something."

Well, consider the universe and how everything in it works. I'd say that YHWH was big on science rather than the supernatural.

It seems to me that he used nature and the natural working of things to acomplish much. There are stories of intervention but even they were done through the medium of his creation rather than 'magic.'

If you believe in YHWH as the one God anyways...

How? Could for instance one person’s subconscious influence another’s subconscious. We as individuals throughout the globe are interrelated in the subconscious. – Imagine it as there being a transmission band between our minds and the global mind and the subconscious. If you get on the right wavelength, there is no separation between the subconscious and global thought. Now let us imagine that a given desire is voluntarily introduced into cosmic thought to reach everyone’s subconscious. If for example enough people thought ‘peace’ wouldn’t it be wonderful if peace could prevail. Implausible likely, improbable even more likely but a nice thought!

Periodically people ask for recommendations for the best sites about Wicca. For a change, I'd like to ask for recommendations on the WORST sites about the religion -- sites that are inaccurate, insulting, inflammatory, or just plain hilariously bad.

So, what would you say are the worst sites about Wicca out there?

You can pick which rules you don't like and change them, is that it?

If the "word of god" was for you to worship on Saturday how do you justify going against the "word"?

Sorry, I don't capitalize that biblical monster.

Our creator enjoyed hundred's of millions of years of experimentation with lower life forms, he then brought forth dinosaur life, and he was proud of his creations. He admired ther evolution for over a hundred million years , but the dinosaurs and other life couldn't appreciate God. God needed to be recognized and appreciated by his creations, so God tweaked things a little, but still his creations seemd stupid and unmanageable. That's when GOD became terribly frustrated, he contemplated mass extinction again, maybe configuring the continents and ocean currents again. But then our creator eyeballed his small mammals and he saw potential, after all they were surviving with his top species the dinosaurs and they could be nasty. God thought if I help the mammals with being nocturnal, give them better hearing, a thumb for grasping and an orbital eye-socket, they might evolve into somthing special. But then he thought wow it's going to be a slow process with his dino's around so he sent a

The following is copied from another question:
--------------------
"[A risk of believing in god is:] humiliation... especcially if you are a baby christian...ur all fired up...trying to prove ur love of God..trying to be helpful and then some jerk comes along who knows the bibles inside and out...who is not christian..and makes you look like a fool.

there are 2 times in the life of a christian that it can backfire...When ur a newborn christian and you dont know much...or when you have been one so long..and you have seen so much bad stuff still..it makes you doubt...and when u doubt..you lose touch with God.

i think that is why alot of christians turn atheist... "
-----------------
What comment of advice do you offer?
