who on here hates mean people that leave mean answers on people's questions when you can tell already that that certain person is self-conscious about something...? this is a really random question and you don't even have to answer it, but i just want to speak out because you people are making me mad (the ones that do that). i see these girls on here who ask these questions like, "am i ugly" and have pictures and people go and tell them they look like "the scum of the earth"... now, that's just plain mean. if you agree, then please comment and maybe we can all, i know that this is hypocritical, but we will just do this to give them a taste of their own medicine, leave mean comments on the open questions they ask or starting reporting those answers because I am just sick of this. this is for answers and people can pretty much ask anything on here and pretty much WILL ask anything on here and i hate all this negativity. we can stop this though. LET'S DO IT!

....If we really are Oneness itself, why does our experience continually tell us otherwise? How could it be possible for that One to mistakenly identify itself as the individuals of it's own creation?
One excellent analogy is that of your nightly dreams. From within the dream, you believe you are the dream character and all the objects and events are objectively real. Unless you lucid dream, you have no idea that the real you is snoring away in bed outside the dreamscape.
As above, so below. A very similar thing is happeing in your waking state. The One Consciousness has identified itself with you, the dream character, and has come to believe that the objects and events in the world are objectively real.
To Awaken from the dream of life is to Realize yourself as the source and substance of all that You experience, including the body You seem to inhabit. The key to understanding how this identification happens is to realize that Consciousness itself, does not think.

I like the Book of Mormon much more than the Bible. I want to be a god and would like to have many beautiful women for my wives. I realize that LDS has changed to not allow the traditional teachings of Prophets Brigham Young and Joseph Smith.

I shall look into Fund. Latter Day Saints since they are the traditional Mormons!

Okay, I have a disturbing thought I hope some one help me with. In the Ten Commandments of the bible, there is a law that says" Thou shalt no commit adultry " which I believe means ' don't have sex with anyone your not married to'.
With that in mind....

The Catholic church is against same sex marriages. I understand that in laviticus, there is a " don't lay with another man " law, but the law of the levites hold the same standing as God's law?
And
Wouldn't banning a marriage between two people who love each other encourage adultry? That being the case, what is truly inspiring this anti-homosexual legislation?

The conclusion I'm comming up with is quite disturbing....

Your thoughts please. Thankyou.

…no matter how advanced we become. I mean, look at scientology; these are people who are educated and know that stories like Noah’s Ark and the seven day creation are just bloody ridiculous! But instead of becoming atheists, they invented a new religion. Doesn’t this clearly indicate to intelligent people like yourselves that your efforts to cure people of the religious disease are in vain?

Did you know that the eye has 40,000,000 nerve endings, the focusing muscles move an estimated 100,000 times a day, and the retina contains 137,000,000 light sensitive cells?

Charles Darwin said,

"To suppose that the eye could have been formed by natural selection, seems I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree."

If man cannot begin to make a human eye, how could anyone in his right mind think that eyes formed by mere chance? In fact, man cannot make anything from nothing. We don't know how to do it. We can re-create, reform, develop . . . but we cannot create even one grain of sand from nothing. Yet, the eye is only a small part of the most sophisticated part of creation-the human body.

George Gallup, the famous statistician, said,

"I could prove God statistically; take the human body alone; the chance that all the functions of the individual would just happen, is a statistical monstrosity."




Albert Einstein said,

"Everyone who is seriously interested in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe—a spirit vastly superior to man, and one in the face of which our modest powers must feel humble."

I sure as hell do, but do you?

Share your story that made you decide if it were real or not.

My story that made me believe goes like this:
My friends and I were playing one night, and we had all played it before so we were used to it. My grandmother had just passed aways about a week prior to this so I was a little uneasy about playing it anyways but I went through with it. After playing for about 20 minutes we ran out of questions to ask so it was quiet until the board spelled out "I love you, Grandma." I freaked out and almost cried but it was also kind of cool.

P.S. Has anyone else ever talked to their guardian angels through it? Or am I just crazy?

Notice it says to leave alone nonmuslims, it does not say to kill them. What do you think of this?

"Leave alone those who take their religion to be mere play and amusement, and are deceived by the life of this world. But proclaim (to them) this (truth): that every soul delivers itself to ruin by its own acts: it will find for itself no protector or intercessor except God: if it offered every ransom, (or reparation), none will be accepted: such is (the end of) those who deliver themselves to ruin by their own acts: they will have for drink (only) boiling water, and for punishment, one most grievous: for they persisted in rejecting God. (The Noble Quran, 6:70)"

Do you sometimes feel like you are a great Christian, and you have a really good relationship with God, but then you see someone else who's relationship seems a whole lot better than yours?
I previously asked a question "How often do you pray?" The responses were unbelievable. Some people pray up to EIGHT times a day. I pray ONCE a day, and sometimes at night, I admit, I fall asleep.

After reading those answers, I now feel like a HORRIBLE Christian. Does anyone else have this happen?

I prefer the traditional teachings of the Latter Day Saints and am sad that the church has left the truth of Prophet and President Brigham Young. Actually I would be happy with just three or four wives:) Are the FLDS taking new members? They still follow the teachings of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young (like LDS used to)!

I've been meaning to ask this, and that last Spanish podcast question reminded me.

Does anyone know of any *entertainment* podcasts, preferably news podcasts, comedy shows, or even audiobook/poetry podcasts in French? I'm not looking for educational podcasts, like Pimsleur's. I've tried looking on iTunes and all they seem to feature are "learn French NOW" podcasts.

I e-mailed this person that putting out spoilers about Potter was mean and immature. She angered me completely. I had not yet read book 7, which she gave the ending too, nor have many read book 6 - she gave the ending to that as well. I told her that she must be suffering a personality disorder to put the book endings into her questions. I am so angry that she had the gall to ruin these books for everyone who sees her question and in return I was told this: "Maybe you should go live in a cave so you don't hear anything about it! You can't expect the world to stop because you are running behind."

What do you think? And do you know of a way to report this kind of thing - not to Yahoo, they won't do anything, but to some site that deals with spoilers sans warnings?

TwinsMa has blocked me from the questions so I cannot link to them here but that's fine - don't look for her questions unless you've read all the books already. Spoilers abound.

I've never known who wrote the book of revelations, and none of the people I currently know know who wrote the book. To me, it would seem that people join religions to help with sins of the past and on how to embrace the future. And since revelations paints a pretty stark picture of a not-so-gloomy future, I would think that if someone knew who wrote the book of revelations, we can study that author's life to find out more about that person, and maybe the events in their own life that led up to the writing of that very important book.
