Just curious. As a practicing witch, I've not really picked up on the talk behind our backs.

C'mon, be honest.
But please don't witness to me about Jesus. I'm a former Catholic and I'm fed up with it. Thanks.

So I have a best friend and we are like the real version of Will and Grace. We talk everyday, solve each others problems, spend almost all the time with each other and have grown really close, to the fact they we get jealous when the other is in a relationship. I am in a new relationship and I think she feels neglected and makes comments that confirm this. I really hate that she feels that way and I can't complain because I feel the same way when she dates. My boyfriend thinks that she had a crush on me and that she can't stand seeing me with him. I just don't know what to do, I set days aside to spend with her and it's great but then I leave to go to my boyfriend's and I get the sad look. Any suggestions?

Or are you the type that seeks to decipher Him the best way you can?

I noticed there are individuals who just surrender( e.g. " it's God's plan", "He alone knows what's best for us") and instead being challenged to seek answers.

Note: Either way, there's nothing wrong about it. Smile.

Firstly, Buddha never actually intended to establish a new religion. Many people wrongly assume that Buddha rejected Hinduism and wanted to establish a new path because Hinduism was false. This is a completely inaccurate version of History. When Buddha was alive, Hindu people were very spiritually corrupted. For example, they would do good deeds and dharma but only so that they could have good rewards in subsequent lives. Lord Buddha wanted to correct this attitude. Lord Buddha was of the persuasion that the Hindus were forgetting that the purpose of life was “moksha” (nirvana) and it was not to earn “good karma”. He wanted to remind Hindus of this purpose of life. The only reason that Buddhism actually became a separate religion was because Buddhists (followers of Buddha) chose to establish their social, cultural and political identity independent of mainstream Hindus. That does not mean that Buddhism itself should be viewed as a separate religion. Afterall, Hinduism...

My daughter and son in law recently started to attend a church that has asked them to be baptised in order to continue to attend. I was horrified and told my daughter that baptism was a sacred vow between herself and God and should be from the heart and taken very seriously. I felt it was extremely inappropriate to be told to get baptised. I am not Baptist, is this common? Seems almost cultlike to me. What do you think?

The world doesn't charter to the needs to the "other sex." For example: How come there's public restrooms for men and women only? What about hermaphrodites, androgynes, and transgendered people? Which restroom are they supposed to use? Its not fair they dont have their own restroom. Same thing with applications u gotta check either male or female there's no inbetween. I feel sorry for those who are a 3rd sex cause the world seems to not acknowledge them when they are people 2.

I really don't want this question to sound ignorant, so please forgive me if it does

Does the Koran say anything about war, killing, and things like this? Are there any rules that are specifically against killing. (similar to the 10 commandments (Thou shalt not kill)).

If so, than why do terrorists justify their actions with religion. They say they do it for God, but what if God clearly forbade it...

so, once again, i don't want this question to be offensive and i would appreciate if the answers didn't include anything like that either.

Well, I have 2 friends who are in Demolay and have asked me to join and i am christian, and was wondering what demolay is. For a moment in time i had asked my parents for me to join but they didn't let because for some reason you get brainwashed into what they do and follow what they follow. I mean i believe in God, is demolay something against it? To me it looks like an organization where you just make friends and have fun because i mean that where my friends point of view comes from. tell me is it bad or good? what is it? and please dont paste info from the site cause i have already seen them.

Has anyone tried anything from this? There are a couple of things that i have come across when reading that interest me. For instance one being to right certain names of saints on paper which is to be carried around - and that you will be met with grace and love by others. I'm not interested in the more bigger, serious workings. But i'm still a little nervous to try anything as i'm aware there may be consequences...

If a company provides health insurance benefits for an employee's gay partner, how is it determined who that partner is? Since there is no marriage contract, do you just say so and so is my partner? How often can you change partners? Couldn't a dishonest employee say that he has changed partners every time an uninsured friend needs medical care?
