No one really knows I don't think...though the idea that it was to keep disease out is one hypothesis. Some girls are born without one too.

Some have answered that ideas are only good as long as "the person who has them has breath in their body."

Is this true, or do ideas have a life outside of their creator, and have the ability to continue on after their creator's last breath?

the other day in church ...my cell phone went off and my ring tone "*@$# you, you &*#@ boy" started playing loudly...it caused quite the scene. What ring tone could i possibly choose that wouldn't cause such a uproar in a church...or is there a way of making my ring tone not quite as noticeable?

Horatio Nelson existed, but not Jesus Christ.
Yet we celebrate His birth, His death and resurrection, and ascension, unlike other people in history.
The Bible says, that people's eyes are blinded to the truth about Jesus by satan.
Surely its worth taking a serious look about the claims of Christianity, which has eternal implications and consequences!
Don't you think it's interesting that people bypass this, and yet the Bible says, There is a way that seems right unto man, but in the end it leads to death.
Worth giving serious thought to these issues - don't you think?

I know many here in R&S do not believe in the supernatural, but could an idea be considered as a type of supernatural material/element? It is not physical (arguably), and ideas cannot be quantified, or measured, so are they "supernatural?"

It takes a certain amount of "mental energy" to form and process an idea. Does this "mental energy" form spiritual articles into corporeality?

We look alot at moving ourselves into spirit, knowing and tasting and touching ourselves there (lol)

What of knowing Self as Spirit, and drawing Spirit here?
Could you walk yourself as Spirit here?

Is your house clean enough, is your heart clear enough?
who is it that would judge???

Would you need 5 more minutes to get it right, and then 5 more, and just a few more....
or could you bow your head and offer up all that you are, as you stand, no do-overs.....

what do you think this position would create for you?
How would you walk yourself as Spirit incarnate, conscious that you are Spirit, not veiled......

please tell me what you know of this, what you would like to know
and how can you get there from here, I wonder......

the restaurant customers are 75% african american....I've been there for 3 years....I've always tried to remain non prejudice, but last night changed my outlook for good....during my employment, I've witnessed children being told to shut up, slapped (in the face or wherever) eat their food or else...one woman pointed a knife at her child and told him to "shut the f up" ....I've seen them dragged into the bathroom while they're screaming...parents arguing with they're children on cell phones loud enough for others to hear...and last night, all the little girl wanted was to sit by her mommy...daddy said no, she cried and he said "you're coming with me"...so outside they went...I said something to him as they were going outside and he said mind your damn business...I've also found dirty diapers, tampons, and a g string under the tables....servers complain about 100.00 tabs and getting 2.00 tips or no tip at all...so, if you're african american, please explain what I
should think.....

It´s not too late. Just accept what your eyes see. Go for first hand experience. Don´t use sandal-clad obsolete concepts that don´t apply in a world of microwaves and rocket fuel.
Don´t give in to cults, sects and religions. They are only balm for the mind in search of a nonexistent hug and they don´t cure your ailments, nor do they elevate you to some sacred state.
Free yourself of the scourge of the mind. Blow your crossnailed idols to bits and LIVE.
So are you ready to lead your life as a reponsible species member? Or are we to stay the laughingstock of the galaxy? (If there are any aliens watching, they must be cracking up...)

Why do many black females on YA preface their snappy retorts with words like "Honey" or "Sweetie"?

Every time I see this, I visualize a black woman (or girl more likely) rolling her eyes and neck with one hand on her hip and the other flailing in the air with fingers snapping. Sort of like Shanaynay on the Martin Lawrence Show.

Are they just terms of endearment or is that their way of letting you know they are "putting you in your place"?

Just asking. Trying to understand.

What is all this about the trinity:
God the Father
God the Son
The Holy Spirit

So your saying God is a son, how can that be possible


You say Jesus is the son of god, how is that possible, if God can have a "son", than that makes him equal to us mere humans,

Can anyone explain this issues?
