I just don't feel it. I really don't. Whenever we speak of balance, what are we really talking about?

Does that mean they would be able to find a cure? And if they did, would homosexuals use it? Would they be able to remove the gene in the fetus before it's born?

I have, In my great grandmas house. Which was once a nursing home. I woke up during the middle of the night after hearing a loud whisper in my ear. Looked up and saw a seathrough figure, dressed as a nurse. Looking down at me, I was only 7 so I ignored it, and shut my eyes tight and fell back asleep. In the morning I asked my grandma about the ghost I had seen, and she said she is normally disturbed by it aswell - and sees the ghost at least once a month. She said that also on a number of occasions, she felt weight on her bed as she was lying down reading a book - like someone sat on the end of the bed and when she looked - no-one was there. Spooky or what ?
Do you believe in ghosts ?
Have you ever seen a ghost ? Or something unexplainable ?
Any stories you want to share ?
I will deffinatly be interested !!
Thanks. =D

A lot of people picked me up wrong when I asked the above question,I believed in a God up until 15 years ago,that's when I took seriously ill,through no fault of my own,it was down to medication since then my health has worsened,I have had 2 heart attacks,recurrent blood clots on my lungs,my left lung is not working properly,I have peripheral vascular disease,nerve damage caused by surgery,I have had 6 instances of almost dying and in the past month I have suffered massive blood loss and have almost bled to death and in the past 4 weeks I have had blood transfusions totalling 6 pints on top of all this I am in severe pain 24/7 and due to all this happening in the past 15 years I have been unable to work and am therefore poverty stricken,there are other things in my life that I am not going to go into-these are the reasons I no longer believe in God-if there is a God as a lot of you think there is then he must have one sick and twisted sense of humour .

Yesterday I two questions around the same idea, that life can be just as good, if not better without having a God in your life. I stated my case in a respectful, and well thought out manner, and both questions were deleted.

Why? I say much more offensive things on here that don't get flagged, but when I merely suggest that life without God can be a positive experience this somehow offends you?

Life without God, does not mean a life of anarchy, and "sin." I live my life the best I can with what I have at my disposal. I have love for everyone, and everything, and I live a good, positive life.

So what is so wrong about me asking why people can't accept that life can be good, great, excellent, without God(s)?

I acknowledge that in places like Afghanistan, they are forced to, but this is not for most other muslim women. Afghanistan and Pakistan are the worst examples of Islam, with Saudi Arabia running a close second. Islam does not allow this mistreatment of women, and you will not find it anywhere where this is allowed. Islam sees women as equal to men, but having their own roles.

Why do some like to ignore it when they are told by muslim women that they are not oppressed? What, do you WANT them to feel oppressed or something? I'm a muslim woman. The only time I ever felt oppressed was before I was a muslim and I had to strive to have everything perfect so the guys could enjoy the view. Not anymore ,and I feel free. My ex husband was Pakistani. He hated hijab and even forced me NOT to wear it. That's one major reason I divorced him. Why do so many like to take their opinions from biased news sources? I could just as easily reach conclusions about other religions that way.

A Woman's Stride
By Semper Fi 83 7/14/07

God sat in Heaven,
Where he abides.
And He thought to create,
A Woman's Stride.
For a woman's pride,
He found in Eden in the garden He made.
When Eve gave Adam from the tree He forbade.
From there,
Man thought he'd push woman aside.
But she kept her pride in her stride.
She kept her pride in her stride.
Throughout history,
Over all creation.
It is she who carried,
And birthed the nations.
While men fought wars,
She fought for rights.
Man fought for land,
She fought for life.
She even let the man,
Keep his foolish pride.
For she controls them all,
With her stride.

How many of you out there actually SAY something to people in public places who give out any of the above? If you do, what do you say? What response do you get? Whatever happened to just sitting quietly on a bus or train or in a restaurant? Now, there are people talking and talking and talking all around you, and it seems to me nowadays that everyone is getting louder, that I have to hear conversations that are either intensely puerile or boring or intimate or vulgar, and there seems to be little that I can do to stop it all. It's really hard these days to find a quiet place. My own room is the exception.
And when I walk on the pavement in one direction, and schoolkids are coming towards me in the opposite direction, why is it that now I have to walk in the road? They stay as they are, three abreast, no thought of making way for anyone else. Is the situation with good manners now beyond saving? Must we just accept that everyone will now behave EXACTLY AS THEY PLEASE?

I just realized that heaven or the kingdom will not have cooked food. Downer! I would like to make some atheist friends so i can send them down some consumables and have them cooked, proabably faster than microwave, since it will be flame broiled. Any possible buds? thank you!

Stop calling homosexuality a choice, people. Did you know that it's as much a "choice" as being right or left-handed? I understand that you will completely ignore science and logical thought and turn to your book of fairy tales for "real" science, but seriously, you really have no room to say it's a choice any more than I have room to tell my left-handed sister than she "chooses" to write with her left hand.

Get a brain, for the sake of our future as a species, I beg you.

I fear for our world....

It's so irritating and confusing. My height ranges 5'6.5" to 5'9" mainly averaging at 5'7.75". I'm average. There are guys I know who say they are 6" but they are actually the same height as me and guys who say they are 5'8" are actually shorter than me.

I'm was invited to the Chicago Racquet Club "Last Days of Disco" event tonight. I've never been there, but wikipedia describes it as "a pretigious athletic club". Dress code on the invitation says "Disco Attire or Black Tie". As a girl who is not going in disco attire, should my dress be black? Any color? long? Short?

I had this guy on myspace hitting on me last night (knowing that I am a married man with child)....he told me he had kids too and that it didn't matter...he also said that he was Christian and that the Christian belief system has changed so much over time that it now allows gays to be a part of the belief. So, can Christians be gay in today's world?
