It seems to be drummed in from the media "Islamic" and "terrorist" linked as if that is a natural connection.
Do you think it is? or do you think?

I'm an atheist.

I believe in democracy. I believe in equality. I believe in liberty. I believe in human dignity. I believe that the sanctity of the lives of those already born (including those on death row) supersede the sanctity of the life of a clump of cells. I believe in love. I believe in art. I believe in personal relationships with actual people. I believe in education. I believe in critical thought. I believe in deeply passionate kisses. I believe in a free press.

What do you believe in?

And was Mary the Immaculate Conception?

When forty years of age, Joseph married a woman called Melcha or Escha by some, Salome by others; they lived forty-nine years together and had six children, two daughters and four sons, the youngest of whom was James (the Less, "the Lord's brother"). A year after his wife's death, as the priests announced through Judea that they wished to find in the tribe of Juda a respectable man to espouse Mary, then twelve to fourteen years of age. Joseph, who was at the time ninety years old, went up to Jerusalem among the candidates; a miracle manifested the choice God had made of Joseph, and two years later the Annunciation took place.

Now as we can see those children mentioned in the bible that were Jesus's brothers and sisters were His half brothers and sisters. Can someone tell me what other children Mary had besides Jesus.?

Immaculate conception
What is the Immaculate Conception? It is an even more incredible miracle.

I feel that religion has had a resergence and that people are going back to God. I went to church when I was growing up, My grandmother died when I was 15. and we didn't go any more. When I was first married, I didn't know anyone who went. But now I"m in my 50's and I and my husband go and lots of people we know go also.

to justify their prejudices and discrimination?
As they Historically did to justify segregation and even slavery and as they now try do to prevent legalization of gay marriage.Jesus affirmed a gay couple.This story is recorded in Matthew 8:5-13 and Luke 7:1-10.
http://www.wouldjesusdiscriminate.com/biblical_evidence/gay_couple.html
Why do conservative Christians refuse to see this and justify their hatred and paranoia for gay people with vague descriptions about sexual morality that aren't even the words of Christ Himself?
How can they at the same time support any war and do it so easily as they do simply ignoring one of the corner stones of His teachings that is very clear?Love your enemies,do good to those who harm you.How do they do it?Is it selective Christianity?

Matthew 6:22. The light of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be single, your whole body shall be full of light.

Since Jesus Himself refers to the Single Eye, which is the Third Eye (pineal) which is to be opened through meditation and contemplation of God and Jesus Christ, how can anyone refute this? This is the spiritual eye through which we truly connect with God, Jesus Christ and the universe.

Yes, this is the same Third Eye referred to in Hinduism, Buddhism, and other Eastern religions. Horrors of horrors! Christianity has roots in Eastern religions and mysticism than traditional Christianity wants to believe.

As Christian mystics, this spiritual eye is what we strive to open so we can more fully and directly experience God and His love. I have experienced it, and it's the greatest love I've ever known, I cannot even comprehend it. I wish this love of God on all of you.

God bless.

I asked how many professing christians have actually read the bible and worded it badly. It was yanked. I'd now like to ask the reverse. How many dedicated atheists have actually read the bible. Just the ones that have an honest answer please and just yes or no we aren't interested in why so don't preach this time. You are welcome to contact me direct to espouse your point. If you haven't read the book your opinion either way is what I have always regarded as the worlds most worthless thing. An uninformed opinion.

I've only recently lost my virginity to my husband. I never really kept track of my monthly periods although I do know that they were pretty regular. After some calculations, I realize that I can be anywhere from 5-17 days late. However I keep getting the feeling -symptoms like my period is coming but there is no bleeding!

is it from laziness, or the chemicals put in our food?

I personally don't think it is from laziness, everyone I know busts their butts to get what they have in life...

what do you think the answer is?

The Kings Chamber was the location within the Pryamid that gave it the power to reassemble the molecules of the body and give people another 200 years of Life. And this could be done indefinitely! The Atlanteans supposedly had such a chamber.

We so often debase spiritual things to the mundane. Symbolizing the Masculine and Feminine with images of human genitalia. It looks like a symbol for humanity to me. The head, and arms outstretched, like the Christian cross symbol.
Which is the equal-sided cross symbol of the four directions, with a longer base, symbolizing the form of humanity and our Creators reaching out to humanity through Christ's sacrifice.

Shouldn't sin be based on more than a fictional story, and a lot of people who feel guilty about their bodies after reading the story?

Also, setting aside religion, which do you think is more fun to believe in, if you only had to choose one.
I believe in both, so I can have my cake and eat it, too. (Honestly, though, what's the point of having cake if you can't eat it?)

Mum as in Susan J died peacefully Friday morning and we are having a graveside service on Tuesday at 10am Australia time.

I am writing a Euology on some of Mum's life, and I want to include some messages from her friends here,

I know she had some good times here, I saw her one day laughing so hard and crying from the laughter about something Father K did or said I can't remember, after a raid in music.
She always had a positive look when being on R&S and she loved it here

Could you please tell me what you thought of Mum and how she touched your life, it would help my sister Samantha and me a lot?
