- My back continually hurts since my 20s
- My eyesight was never good but it is getting progressively worse.
- There seem to be several blemishes on my body, they have been there since birth. Some have sprouted hair.
- Sometimes my head hurts for no particular reason
- I get a runny nose when confronted with pollen, often coupled with sneezing. This is rather annoying as pollen is everywhere.
- Why are my feet always cold?
- I seem to leak at set times. Another process produces a typically brown substance that I will not describe further. But why couldn't it have been pink and smelling of roses?

I could go on but you get the gist. In short, I am most dissatisfied with this product and I want my money back or I will sue on the basis of incompetent design.

Since you don't seem to return my calls I will visit one of your summer retreats on earth and place my demands there. I also have a complaint about the loud noise they make on sunday morning when I'm trying to get some sleep in.

Whether it's a team you coach, or your child plays for, or a pro sports franchise, etc.

How'd that work out?

(NOTE : The question is NOT "Did you pray that injuries were avoided?")

When I blew off a friend for a date, he jokingly called me a GOP and refused to tell me what it stands for. I think I should be offended but I still don't know what he means. He's not calling me a Republican, is he?

Atheists, What do you really think when someone says they are a Christian? What are some of the things that pop into your head?

Ok what do you guys think of muslims?? Just because a small group of extremists do wrong things, people get the wrong idea of Islam. Islam is not a violent religion, people make it seem that way. The Quraan refers to non-muslims as out "brothers and sisters." And theses extremists use religion as an excuse for there horrible actions. Please tell me what you think.

I'm taking a few seconds to send some prayers/Light/good vibes/sympathy to the families who are mourning their dead loved ones and for the injured and their families. The power of prayer is pretty formidable.

Do Catholics believe in the WHOLE Bible? Because Leviticus 11 in the Bible states that there are certain foods like pork that are unclean and should not bere eaten. Yet, I see Catholics eating all different kinds of unclean and unhealthy foods. Since Seventh-Day Adventists don't eat these foods, studies show that we live 5-8 years longer than other people. When God gives laws, we should obey them. But what about this one?

I tried to ask this before and just got a bunch of Bible verses that didn't really answer the question.

If a non-Christian asks a Christian about Heaven, most of us have these ideas about what it's like that really seem to have no foundation. Sometimes these questions will be valid, such as if we will mourn our loved ones who aren't with us. Christians answer with something like "We won't care, we will be too busy praising God." Sometimes they say we won't remember our life on earth at all.

That's just one example. Most Christians seem so sure that the know what Heaven will be like, who exactly will be there, and what we will do. Can we acknowledge that this is nothing more than unbiblical speculation, or are we going to cling to what we were taught?

Have you ever allowed your curiosity to lead to an investigation of another faith or belief ? Where did it lead you? ...back to your original beliefs with stronger bonds, or to another you have found a connection. If you feel comfortable sharing...please do.

Shorts are for the beach and park. I find it in bad taste when someone wears shorts (especially short ones) into a restaraunt. I don't care to see a man's hairy legs or a overweight woman's cellulite when I'm eating. Why can't people see how nasty they look when they dress like this? I even saw a woman in short shorts that had a nasty sore on her leg which she had a big gauze pad on but they blood was showing through.

I find it disgusting when women breastfeed their babies on the bus, in the store (siting down on one of the display counters), and any place where others can see. This is also an akward thing to try to explain to children and reallly embarrassing if I am with a guy. People will say it's a natural act, but then again so is peeing but you wouldn't pee in front of people. Why can't women find a private place to do this, like a bathroom stall or just bring a bottle when they are out in public. This is totally gross.

- I don't want religious answers that don't provide a valid back up argument other than "god says you shouldn't" <---not a valid argument.

- An early blastocyst -> fetus stage does not feel any pain as it does not have a nervous system, hence you are not causing it any physical pain, also it only has the beginning of a brain, hence will not show any neurological activity making it for all sense and purpose brain-dead. (its not thinking yet)

questions to think about
- what if the woman had been raped against her will?
- what if carrying the child to term will have long lasting negative physical and mental effects on the 'mother'?
etc...

- stem cells <-- want a valid reason if you are against or for?

facts to think about
- again...the phase that the embryo is in does not have any neural cells, hence no brain and no pain.
- over 250,000 aborted fetuses/blastocysts are flushed down the toilet <-- they could be put to better use, if you're gonna kill them any way

That phase makes my skin crawl when I hear it and makes me want to choke the life out of the person. Most times it doesn't even fit in and it is like a new phrase they are trying out.

Or I could possibly be losing my marbles, your choice

A lot of thinks that are scientific fact were once thought of as superstition, like the moon effecting the tides and hypnosis. Somethings that were one thought to be sound science have been discredited like eugenics, much of freudism.

Where can I learn more about Wicca and Deities and the Rede and, well, anything else in that category? Furthermore, where can I learn how to get involved in all of it?

Is it Mother Earth's answer to the human virus problem, we seek and infest and destroy, is Homosexuality one of nature's checks, for the human pop.

If it is, it's not very effective, since Lez and Gays are adopting and having kids.

So what do you think?
