there is no proof He doesn't exist either? If it's proof you're looking for then why do you believe in Atheism when it holds no proof? Just wondering.

I wonder if that show is an accurate representation of American Christianity or if it only speaks for a minority of Christians.

So the shows idea came from a black man...who happens to be one of the producers. It will be aired on a black network.


Somehow I can see one or both of them finding someway to make whites look bad in all of this.

The word Tulpa is from the Tibetan language and refers to any entity that attains reality solely by the act of imagination. The entity is created entirely within the confines of ones own mind, not drawn out, written down or even verbally described.

If its creator wishes, this "Tulpa Creation" may become physical reality through intense concentration and visualization. However, care must be taken to only bring to reality what is beneficial to the world, lest it's destruction becomes more problematic than its creation.

The language Fairy comes to your door to grant you the ability to speak the language of your choice fluently (and you don't lose your first language) what language would you want to speak?


I'm going for the "language of the birds," but if that wasn't an option I'm not sure what I would choose.

I asked this question yesterday :

Many responders stated that they no longer felt the need to listen to secular music because it did not praise God. To a certain extent, I understand giving up music that expresses different ideals from your own, but what about artists like Norah Jones or U2? Neither praise God, but they have become very popular by creating music with positive lyrics.

By that token, (to those who feel that way) do you not watch any TV shows that don't praise God? Do you not read any literature that does not praise God?

Do you see it as virtually every person on Earth sees it today, as one of the most sinful practices in all of human history? How do you deal with such discrepancies? Do you ignore it and just go on, business as usual, somehow justify it as proper and moral or try to present it as consensual servitude? Personally, I have a difficult time with being labeled as immoral as a non-believer by anyone who is not absolutely outraged at a god who can condone this in any form. Does it appear that mankind has evolved to a greater morality than God?

Opinions please? You certainly don't have to agree with me, please just be sincere and not flippant.

This is a fantastic discovery, a world-class find," Dr Finkel said yesterday. "If Nebo-Sarsekim existed, which other lesser figures in the Old Testament existed
Searching for Babylonian financial accounts among the tablets, Prof Jursa suddenly came across a name he half remembered - Nabu-sharrussu-ukin, described there in a hand 2,500 years old, as "the chief eunuch" of Nebuchadnezzar II, king of Babylon.

Prof Jursa, an Assyriologist, checked the Old Testament and there in chapter 39 of the Book of Jeremiah, he found, spelled differently, the same name - Nebo-Sarsekim.

Nebo-Sarsekim, according to Jeremiah, was Nebuchadnezzar II's "chief officer" and was with him at the siege of Jerusalem in 587 BC, when the Babylonians overran the city.

You read a lot of philosophical arguments for and against the existance of God, and a lot of debating about morals.

What do you think?

Isn't it kind of silly to think other wise...He was this great lookin guy...with abunch of followers....He lived to like 30..right???....So..I find it hard to beleive that a 30 year old man was a vergin.

If you think that hes a vergin...wow...

Mabey he was a jue...who had powers...and was convinced by his parents that he was the son of god...I hope nobody is close minded about this

In my recent visit to America, I was faced with harsh comments from a few people. I was nice to the people but they gave me weird looks and looked very angry. I heard comments such as "I want to kill everyone one of those people." "I swear, I see anyone of them again I'll rob them." "I don't care which country they came from, it can be from the west but those people steal and stinck like stench." I was indeed shocked never in my whole life had I stolen anything, I take a shower everyday and I respect all peoples. I feel like I was treated like an animal, I just want to know why?
