if you had a really strong connection with someone, like when you both know exactly how the other feels without ever having to say it, but you haven't seen or heard from each other in like a year, is there a way to communicate mentaly with that person?

I have been saying the phrase 'Oh my God' Or even using the word 'damn'.

These are words originating from the Bible, and I find it wierd that I use them. Is this because of child indoctrinization?

What are your views?

Whether you are married, dating, almost married, or even had someone in the past, how did you meet that person.

My wife and I met......no surprises here, LOL, on Yahoo...years ago when they had user created chatrooms. I at the time was a "regular" chatter LOL, and she was just dropping in and the rest is history...not very romantic to some, but it works for me.

in my opinion, he was actually smart and idealistic... but of course, society always "hates" the smart and opinionated...

I really like this song, "Golden" By Fall Out Boy and I wanted to see if it made people think about different things depending on religon.

How cruel is the golden rule?
When the lives we lived are only golden-plated
And I knew that the lights of the city were too heavy for me
And though I carry karats for everyone to see

And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies
And all the lovers with no time for me
And all of the mothers raised their babies
To stay away from me

Tongues on the sockets of electric dreams
Where the sewage of youth drown the spark of my tears
And I knew that the lights of the city were too heavy for me (too heavy for me)
And though I carry karats for everyone to see (everyone to see)

And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies
And all the lovers with no time for me
And all of the mothers raised their babies
To stay away from me

And pray they don't grow up to be me

Please put your thought and religon in your answer! Thank You!

That is the way Satan worked in the past. Legislate one religion and persecute the rest.

Is virginity before marriage a symbol of close mindedness? Do you consider virgin men inferior beings?

Me and my boyfriend has a good, strong relationship but sometimes we get to the point when we think about the future when we will have children we do not know what religion we can have for our children, someday. My family and his our sometimes even quarrelling in this situation., of course, we have different kinds of ceremonies but we have both desame faith in God. I sometimes would even frawn in dissapointment on why certain religions would come up with in this world, like what ive asked before[why couldn't the world have only one religion?], . i would cry to God.. I love him so much but RELIGIONS, RELIGIONS, RELIGIONS. of course, we cant force people to believe in this and that, but it really is very unpleasant to think of my situation. we love each other so much and one very big problem is heading our path and maybe brake us apart or, being optimistic, we would have prosperity in life, if possible... HELP PLEASE I need advices regarding my situation, i dnt really know what to do.='(

At one point in time, only CHRISTIAN MEN were said to have souls, so said the Catholic Church. I think women were declared "souled beings" in the 1800's and Africans declared "souled beings" in the 1950. Anyone have better dating and references?
Anyone else still soulless?

Is it an actual tree that we will eat from or is it symbolic of our relationship with Jesus and God.

Kind of like when Jesus said he is the vine and he is the branch...

Do we have eternal life from actually eating some fruit or from our relationship?

It doesn't have to be a religious movie, just one that shows the virtues you claim your religion calls for.

When it happened to me, I thought of my wife and kids, how they would feel, how they would manage without me, how they would have to sort out all my stuff, whether they would be able to access the family digital photos in my account on the PC, things like that... the nonsense idea of a god or an afterlife was the last thing on my mind.

Slightly modified by me, PIRATE SEAN posed this question http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AtNw_mUhHy5GdAlBE6ZUh9vsy6IX?qid=20070707081914AAE4bin&show=7#profile-info-9oD6hJOsaa
but the answer that he picked was a no answer answer. I think it deserves a redo. Here’s a chance for us to do a much better job on the question.

PIRATE SEAN added this: quoting scripture that you have know idea what it means. You sound and look foolish. Be LIKE Christ, don’t try to be Christ.



Ear GW (me) answered like this:

If I've been taught by my Master and am attempting to become like him then maybe that has something to do with how you feel I answer a question? I agree that you may get that feeling from my answers.

However, one of my first goals is to be a gentleman when I answer. I try very hard to make sure I say, "I believe" and not "I know" this or that. However, if I am sure about something then I say it …or write it… confidently and I will say then that “I know it”.

For example, If my Master says that he is the only way to God, the Father (And He did):
Using perfect logic then, he is either a liar, or lunatic or he’s correct. Now, no leader or founder of the other major religions has made this claim. So, because ours is one of the four major religions (there are 6 major belief systems, however) it behooves anyone reading my statement to find out which one of those things that my Master is. If a person is not going to look into this conundrum then they are ones acting overconfident, not I, and not, as you put it, “all the CHRISTIANS”.

Therefore, in this case, I will say, "I know". It has to be one of the three: liar, lunatic or Master. Ok, so I sound kinda’ like a guru. But is what I am saying true or not?! Wouldn’t that matter above and beyond what I, or we, sound like as long as the writer is truly being a gentleman?!

Jehovah, the bible God wants worship, so we end up suffering and we give up our entire life and desires and our own hopes to worship Jehovah. To the bible God we are mortal beings that where once dust and will return to dust. We really are nothing according to the Bible and we need God for salvation.

Deepak Chopra states to embrace our bodies now and that we are like imortal God's ourselfs. That we can be happy and have a fullfilling life this same instant and live in paradise state our entire lifes.

Which would you choose?
