Do you love the rain?
Is it spiritual for you?
Does it make you feel like you are in a better mood?

Why do I feel so good when it rains, and happy? I also am extremely creative at this time and like to do arts and crafts (in between quesitons). Why does it have this affect on me? It's like a spiritual thing.

There are thousands of different denominations within the christian religion and each has their own interpretation of the bible.
Very often,when someone from one denomination disagrees with someone from another,the excuse is
"Well of course,they aren't true christians anyway!"
I have seen this statement made about protestants,catholics,baptists,methodists etc. etc.
So is it correct that there is no such thing as a true christian?

Ok, well besides the point that god is supposed to know everything and what will happen in the future, but after he creates man, in the bible it says he regretted making man. Thats another story..my question is why would god really care about us? Why would he want us in heaven with him? Think about it, we are supposed to be like ants to him, he would have no purpose for us. And think of how many people are in the world now, and include going back to the beginning of time, why would he want that many people in heaven. If god is all knowing and all powerful, why would he care about us, why would he want us in heaven with him? It really makes no sense, if there was a god with that much power and wisdom, he wouldn't want inferior useless beings with him, why would he? And please don't quotes the bible, think for yourself on this question.

I'm a lesbian and my family is very homophobic. I know if I tell them that I'm a lesbian they would disown me. Should I just date woman and not care what they think or should I just find a man to make them happy? I think the man option would be easier.

In countries like Africa, women wear it in the vagina and it would mutilate the penis of the rapist. He would have to get medical attention immediately and in also to remove it.

I find this to be very cruel...I would never rape any girl, I'll never need to - I get it regularly from my girlfriend whenever she wants me. But I can't say the same for those poor, uneducated men living in those other countries. It's such an unfair, inhuman thing to wear, and should be illegal- because those men don't know any better. They could get an infection or worse. They can become aggravated, and in shock, end up killing the woman.

I think women should just stick to pepper spray and whatnot.

I have heard that the LDS church has "high priest". I have never met one but wondered what that title means and how do they obtain such a title? What are the qualifications?

I am talking about West-Flemish, which is spoken by about a million people still. We all know our language is in decline, beset by french in the west and dutch (common dutch or brabantic) in the east, and younger speakers often consider our language a patois they will no longer teach their children (I will if I ever have children, I will only converse with them in West-Flemish). Will West-Flemish at one point in the near future become a 'dead' language as French-Flemish, it's sister-language, or is there still hope ?

As a Christian who is reading the Bible, I'm having trouble understanding why He doesn't fit into your prophecies so that He is not your Messiah. For Christians, He has fulfilled all of the prophecies of being the Lamb in the Old Testament.

What are the reasons of Judaism that Jesus Christ doesn't fulfill? Just a genuinely curious Christian wondering for my own understanding, thanks!

All answers welcome: Could someone please tell me why I have, at times some real negative energy's that come at me from all sides. (I am not exadurating, if you know me, you know what I'm talking about) I'm not a bad person, am a believer (born again Christian) with an open mind about alot of things. How do I turn a negative situation into a situation where I'm in control, in other words: turn the negative into a positive?

Someone told me once that I can't enter the temple (unless baptism for the deaths) unless I go on a mission, get married in the temple or turn 25. Is that true? I thought that I could 1 year after my conversion. Why is this?

Because, i believe that to God, 1 billion years to him probably feels like a second, and evolution was like a millisecond to him.

Okay, if your morals are consistent with this - the bible is all yours. I find this to be overly pugnacious. This perspective is very consistent with ancient views that women are inferior. And anyway, when he offers his daughers he claims that they are both virgins. How could they possibly be virgins in such a sex-maniac society? That's complete bullcrap. A couple of new people come into town and people gather around to screw them, but there are people WITHIN the town itself that haven't been screwed? Not logical.

Tonight, I was at the grocery store and I was standing in line about to be waited on when this guy walks up to where the baggers are usually located and tells the cashier that he wanted cigarettes. So, she tells him that she has a customer (me) and he completlely goes off. Yelling at her because "he saw that she had a customer and he wasnt asking her to let him go before the other customers". When 1) he was not in line and 2) if he wasnt asking her to go before me why did he tell her what he wanted. Why didnt he just wait until she was done with me? Or better yet get the hell in the line and then when its his turn tell her what he wanted? Correct me if I am wrong but I think its very rude to make demands of a cashier when they are waiting on or about to wait on another customer. If its not rude at the least its inconsiderate.
