and i get told i'm going to hell and that it's so offensive etc etc etc. what's the difference? i get told my gods are fake all the time by you christians, but truth be told, i have as much proof that mine exist that you do yours!

(you can't prove that the bible was written by god just because the bible says so)

Some of their attitudes are so cruel and often borderline sadistic Maybe they should show us delusional folks that they can build a better civilization by themselves and not rely on a patheticly brainwashed human race.

I'm straight but yesterday I still had bisexual thoughts and I'm 19. I was thinking to buy female underwear and a pink top. why am I like this? but the true reason why I'm straight is because I'm catholic. so if God created us, why He made people confused about their sexuality? I had a big dream to change my gender and be a female. I think if I would be living on my own, I would wear female clothes, doing female things, I even polished my nails once.

why I'm so confused when I like being a straight guy and I'm in love with girls? but there is one thing: I love females. so I want to be a female myself?

I have done level 1 but it unsettled me because when i put my hands on one of the women in the group I shut my eyes and suddenly a really close up wrinkled old face appeared in front of me and I had a sense that something horrible had happened to the woman.
Can anyone explain this.
I would like to do level 2 but fear is holding me back.

Royalty is your thing, and we have our devotees here in US, but why won't the old grouch step down? She persecuted Princess Dianne, acts like a prom (school dance)queen, wears very funny outfits (unlike other European monarchs,) has no idea what the modern world is about, depreciates her sons and daughters, and I bet she smells bad from all the anti-arthritis creams she uses for her bad back. Bossy, uninformed (even with the PM trotting down for her approval,) spiteful, paranoid, wears old maid shoes, never seen her ride a horse. ????????

If you have had a experience with God, then what's the purpose of faith. To me, this is like saying that you need faith, or it's just a belief that your mom gave birth to you.

Ive read from a sermon by T.D. Jakes that Jesus was sent to the lost, the ones who had lost their way, their humanity. Jesus was not sent to those who were already in their right mind..who were already proper people..who were already following the path of righteousness.

My question is: When Jesus said I am the way to the Lord, was he addressing only the ones who were lost? The ones who didnt know the way to the Lord? or both the lost and those who knew the way to the Lord?

Please name sources. Thank you

If you can read the arabic language, such as the koran or a newspaper or book, then can you also speak the language? Could you hold a conversation with someone who spoke arabic if you learned how to read the language?

why do accents differ in the same country? e.g in England the London accent is different to a Midlands accent and both are different to Yorkshire and a North East accent. In the US its the same aswell, from NY, to Texas, to LA. Is it the same in Spain and France and other European countries?

does anyone know why?

thanks

Starting with an open mind, why should I believe the Bible is inerrant? After all, we don't really know who wrote its parts, or when. Some say it was created from previous documents or traditions. We don't still use iron age technology, so why believe in an iron age book?

Not only that, but there are other holy books. What is it about the Bible that makes it more reliable than, say, the Vedas or the Koran?

If I'm going to start putting complete faith in a book which was written under unknown circumstances by people unknown I will need a very very good reason to.

They also claim that Catholics were responsible for the assassination of President Lincoln, among others, and the sinking of the Titanic. I found all this in a booklet someone sent me and find the theories quite fascinating, if a bit implausible. I'd like to know who this group is. The booklet doesn't reveal their name, but gives a web address (www.endtime.net), which also does not give the name of the group. Who are they? All I can see from the literature is that they are Christians, albeit rather unusual ones from the theories!

This may sound like a crazy question, but I'm really serious here. I believe in God and am of the Christian faith, but sometimes I get to wondering...I know God made everything, including man, but I have to wonder about scientifically when they talk about the dinosaurs where they come into play. Were they created before Adam and Eve? And if so, then how did they all become extinct while humans did not? I know this sounds crazy, but it has always made me wonder if there ever were dinosaurs or prehistoric men or anything like that, because the Bible doesn't really support those scientific findings. Any thoughts on the subject?

all thinking does is divide our species. look at the middle east. everyone is killing each other because of what everyone "thinks" about god.

I say that it's high time the government steps in and begins removing portions of all human brains before it's too late!

I know that there are many of you who are well versed in dream interpretation at some point... so I'm asking your wise opinion on these dreams:

1) To kneel before the feet of Lord Krsna in his throne. Crying before him while in that kneeling position, looking only at his feet and listening to his sweet voice expounding the Dharma.

2) Becoming a Sadhu, alone in the forest... facing the four seasons and finding a great bull in the midst of the journey.

3) Opening a stupa to find Lord Buddha's relics and other Arahantas' relics manifesting before your eyes...

Whether you are a Christian, Jew, Muslim, will you please pray for those who are "face blind." After seeing the Yahoo article I felt very bad for someone who would have to live with that all of his or her life. Just think if you had to live with a condition that caused you to not recognize your family friends and loved ones when you saw them. So will you just say a prayer for those who have to live with that?
