I am what Xians call a "non-believer". However, I have wondered that if Angels do indeed exist and more importantly if they are jealous of us Humans. I ask this because supposedly the Xian god gave us free will and many of us "choose" not to obey "his" will.

Homosexuals have a higher suicide rate. Some are still in the closet and can't handle being gay. If they hated being gay so much and couldn't handle it, why not chose to be heterosexual agian instead of killing themselves?

(I'm gay)

A friend of mine and her husband and daughter came to house for dinner the other nite, before dinner my friend came to me and didn't want me to pray before dinner, she had confessed to me that she had not yet taught her 5 year old how to pray. This distured me and said, we always pray and we will be praying tonite. She really never told me why she didn't, and her husband bowed his head, and she refused to talk to me now, did I do something wrong?

If you are a skeptical person, read this with an open mind.

Greys, Reptilians, Nordics, are all reported to be seen everywhere on the earth, however, sightings of aliens diddn't start until the 1800's. I for one have spent alot of time looking into the evidence, watching videos, reading eyewitness accounts, and they all lead up to one of the tree aliens:

Greys - The popular 4 foot tall, grey, big headed, slanted eye alien. These make up 75 percent of all aliens sighted in the united states alone.

Reptillians - Humanoid aliens with reptile features such as scales and reptile eyes.

Nordics - 7 foot tall aliens that look mostly like scandanavian humans, their women are reported to be very beautiful.

If the bible tells the stories of god, why doesn't it mention alien races? There is mountains of evidence, photos, videos and reports to back up aliens, so why wasn't their creation written in the bible?

What's up with people on here going around preaching that those having one-night-stands and group sex have no morals or respect for their bodies?

Who are you to pass your judgment on other people who choose not to believe in the same way as you do? As long as the person is an adult, knows his needs at any time, knows to use protection - what is wrong wit having some fun? Who are you to judge him/her? Do you blindly follow people's opinion as pass them as the truth?

I've never seen such closed-mindedness on the LGBT section before. Why is this happening now?

The Torah doesn’t prohibit Polygamy, example: Moses had two wives, Abraham had two wives, and Solomon had 700 ungodly wives. Nevertheless, if Jesus did prohibit polygamy, why Judaism, the Mormons, and the Moslems do?

I just watched a video, which i now added to my blog(link below), and it made me feel bad about how i cant do alot of things. it is of three friends who were adventurous and skiied, paddled, and surfed all in one day. I was born with Spina Bifida, and although I can walk, there are alot of things I cant just go and do. like i cant swim, so i couldnt do the surfing like those three friends did. i wish i could just be spontanous and have fun, it sucks that life has to be so much more challenging for me. i always have to think "can i do this, is there a bathroom there(i have bathroom issues)" before i go places. it causes me to be fearful of doing many things! does anyone else disabled here feel this? how can i get over this and live like those three people???

From a recent thread:

"Yes, let us hold up the Beatles as a fine example of how to live your life. One was gunned down, One can not enjoy lasting relationships with women, Another was reduced to a small bit on children's shows and the fourth you never hear of. They may have their worldly wealth, but God silenced them as a group from spreading any additional blasphemy."

So . . . God shot John Lennon? Man, and to think people think the Norse godhs are tough!

The Roman Catholic Church at Vatican II said that Christians, Muslims and Jews share the faith of Abraham.
These three main religions all have their roots in Abraham in some way. But do Muslims understand Allah the same way Jews understand God? Do Muslims share belief in the Trinity as Christians do? No!
Although there are connections with Abraham, the ancient Jews, and the belief in ONE GOD, all three religions understand that God differently.
What Vatican II says about Muslims and Jews are correct. But we know that there are different beliefs concerning, Who God IS, what God has done, and how he works in our lives.
Lets look at Jesus. Jews reject Jesus as the expected Messiah and are still waiting for the messiah to come. Muslims say that Jesus was not the Messiah and is definitely not God. (It says so in the Koran). Christians believe in 3 person and 1 nature in God -Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Se we clearly see God differently.

My relationship actually stopped with my parents when I was 4 years old, I know some of you are asking how? My brother was born, and in those days the father didn't see the baby born, the nurse brought him out to my father and he held him up in the air and thanked God for his namesake. For the next few years of my life, I wasn't mistreated but wasn't told that I was loved. I moved far away when I was just 18. married at 26 had 3 child. I know you want to hear the point of this story, when my parents found out my brother was gay, now they wanted me to move back home. Claiming that my children would be there only Grandchildren, does any one out there know how I am feeling at that point in my life? And what would you have all done?

Disclaimer: I do not believe in any religion or any deity. I am atheist.

Don't you guys think that religion is a good thing, generally speaking? Don't you think it is a good way to control the masses? After all, not every person is smart enough to come up with their own morals without the threat of punishment in the after life. Without religion, the world would plummet into chaos. Of course there are the downsides to religion, making certain things immoral, which really aren't, causing extremism, genocide, and wars, but don't you think that a religion, which lacked those problems would be a good thing for the world's population as a whole?

So, most of us know how EVP is captured, and how it can be heard when it's captured with a device and played back.

Well, I was curious on the capture of EVP sounds with devices other than the recorders and such.... can hearing aids capture EVP? Can cochlear implants capture EVP?

Is it possible?
