First, I am all for freedom of speech, that's one thing. Anyone has the freedom to say and feel how they want. But these people applaud attacking other races and kicking everyone that is not white, blonde-haired and blue-eyed out of the US! Anyone else have a problem with this?

What’s the characteristic of someone who just uses you—for your food, money, house or your car? How can you identify these individuals?

Hinduism says the cosomos is an illusion created by god, and we are stuck up in this Maya... What abt YA?

People take birth here and create an ID and attach an ego with it...give it a face.

People make friends and foes for points, which are of no use outside YA ...like we earn money in world..which is not used anywhere

People get inflated ego for points and levels and badges...which are actually real illusion and have no value anywhere.

We fall in love with fake IDs, we make enemies in fake IDs....and dont know who the real person is behind them

The insult of our Temporary ID by another temporary ID... is taken seriously by us... and we attach that grief with our own real self..

Do you have some more such ideas ?

I recently read that the pagans are protesting over the Simpson painting in a field next to their sacred feature. They said they`d send rain to wash it away. So I think the pagans could be to blame for the floods, unless it`s just a coincidence! What do you think?

...i just saw it on Yahoo News. I am sad, but i prayed to Jesus to take her to heaven and out of pain, just a few days ago. Not like she needs any prayers to get into heaven, but lets pray for her family.God bless her family and give them strength. She was a wonderful person, who gave me faith in real "Christians" and not those phoney hypocrites that are too plentiful. GOD BLESS TAMMY FAYE!!!!

I have thought a lot about the Rapture, and as Much as I would love to go,part of me doesnt want to, I want to stay and help those left behind find the Lord, I feel like I am being selfish to go to heaven and leave so many lost behind. is this normal for all of us? or am I just weird?

WHen God created us....he made us with different level of faith, strong faith and weak faith....
we as humans are saved through faith...so, if God wanted someone to be saved, he'll just create him/her with strong faith ...

sooooo.....isnt calvinism correct? wat is there to argue

Did you know that the Devil is not mentioned anywhere in the Old Testament? Sure, there's a fellow called "Satan" in the book of Job, but he's far from being the Prince of Darkness and arch-Enemy of Jehovah. Instead, the "Satan" in that story is just a heavenly prosecutor who tests Job's faith, at Jehovah's command. No, the idea of the Devil doesn't show up in the Bible until the New Testament.

But did you know that there is not a SINGLE verse in the entire New Testament which refers to the Devil as an angel? It says that He "masquerades as an angel of light" (2 Corinthians 11:14), but that's quite different from actually BEING an angel of light. It also indicates, in passages like Matthew 25:41, that He has angels in His service. But nowhere in the entire book does it actually say that HE is an angel!

The New Testament uses a number of titles to describe the Devil - perhaps the most prominent being "the prince of this world" (John 12:31) - but the only part where it actually describes what the Devil IS, in and of Himself, is Revelation 12:9:


"The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray."

That's right, folks. The Biblical Devil is not an angel or a satyr, but a DRAGON. And the writers of the Bible were not the first ones in history to talk about a "great dragon," either.
