Did you ever just re-stuff the junk mail into the postage paid envelope and mail it back. Let them depose of their own trash.

A credit card company that I paid off 10 years ago still sends me junk mail everyday disguised in every possible way.

I don't mean idiot in the scientific way, but just someone so "slow" that they can't stand up for themselves, let others walk all over them, and generally are in need of help.

I hear such stupid questions here by people who are apparently unable to deal with the most outrageous things done to them, but still only want to be "nice" and not offend anyone.

- what compelled you to follow 'this' path?
- are you willing to see any 'other' path?
- do you pick and choose what to believe? or do you learn it all?

If you found out that you were a genius Would you consider using your gifts for teaching or serving the country?

I know someone who can see ghosts (very clearly) and strangly enough alot of my in laws can as well. (Almost like it runs in the family...) However I only know one person who sees them often and he feels intense emotions everytime that he does. He has talked about it to me a few times before, but it is usually very upsetting for him to experience, let alone talk about it. What is it like to see a ghost? Besides the initial fear, what sort of feelings do you get? Does anyone know what makes some people able to see ghosts and others not? Is it really something that few are born with, or is it something that all people have inside of them yet only some know how to use it?

Please be serious when answering. I do believe in ghosts, and I trust AND believe the people that confide in my about their abilities. If you do not believe in ghosts, I fully respect that, but please don't put me (or my friends and family) down. Thank you! : )

I wait a long time for my Believer Buddhist part Animist girlfriend when she goes to the all faiths and non faith homo sapien sapien only restroom at the Mall.I bet some of those all faiths and non faith homo sapien sapien only booths got doors in the rear that lead to different parts of the Mall, like a special Christian Fundamentalist Gossip and Hair salon, or some room where they got a free 5 minute Pagan foot massage, or maybe some little cafe with a couple of Atheist hunky guys serving the chicks coffee and little cakes.
I mean there's got to be a reason why she's taking so long all the time.???

I would like to start out by saying, I am a NON Judgemental Christian. I know everyone has their views and I am not here to convert you. Please spare me the insults!...lol, i know to you God doesn't exist and I can understand that. My question is to you though, at what point did you realize you didn't believe in God? How old were you when you made the decision? What was the turning point in your lives that said no way God isn't real? I would love to hear details...thanks guys and take care.

Well, that was my pathetic attempt at being *clever*, but what i am saying is, Do pro-life people eat animals that were slaughtered en mass and feel no remorse about the millions of deaths every day? Do pro-life people eat at McDonalds in other words?

Even to say that man evolved from bacteria in no way can contradict a thing that can't be proven in the first place (imaginary supernatural friends). So you could acknowledge science and still go on "mutating" your fanciful god imaginings all day long to still be the "source" of the science.

So what's the problem? Are you more devoted to your deities or books written by humans (for example, Genesis)? Wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?

Show me the bones of the person who wrote Genesis, I don't believe they existed!

I go to Glendale Community College where the population is pretty much 85% Amenian. I keep hearing the language a lot and it's gotten to the point and I'm actually curious to try to learn it.

But I can't fit the Armenian class to learn the language this fall semester. I've try going to Barnes & Noble and Boarders to find books, but all I find is one or two Dictionarys. So does anyone know any websites or anything else I can look into to start to learn the language?

Mormons wear white clothing under their regular clothing to remind them of something about God, so if you choose to mak fun of it please make fun of kippahs and all other religious attire- mormons do not believe the clothing is magic.

This announcement was brought to you by the mormon-catholic alliance.

I know that this is crazy and paranoid, but honestly for some STRANGE reason it's a huge problem for me and just... PLAGUES me for some unknown reason. I'll try to explain myself... I live in a small town and I don't have a license so I take the bus to school and such. Say a bus stop has multiple buses with different routes stopping there, you're the only person at the stop, and the bus is approaching that you DON'T want to get on. But the bus stops because you're there, and say no one gets off there, I never know what to DO and I always feel rude because by no fault of my own, the bus driver has made a stop that's not necessary and I'm just sitting there... ! Is this understandable? And am I missing something? It just makes me feel paranoid like I should run away when the wrong bus is coming so I don't have to sit there and look stupid and rude haha. Sorry for being so weird.

“It is one of our perennial problems, whether there is actually a God. From the Hindu point of view each soul is divine. All religions are branches of one big tree. It doesn't matter what you call Him just as long as you call. Just as cinematic images appear to be real but are only combinations of light and shade, so is the universal variety a delusion. The planetary spheres, with their countless forms of life, are naught but figures in a cosmic motion picture. One's values are profoundly changed when he is finally convinced that creation is only a vast motion picture and that not in, but beyond, lies his own ultimate reality.”
-George Harrison.


I love this quote, and i'd like your opinion on what you think he means.

It truly would have godlike powers and its existence would be beyond doubt. Of course, it couldn’t be worshipped as our creator because we created it, but to us it would be a god and to it, we would be insects living meaningless lives. If it could write for us a perfectly fair and unbiased moral code, would atheists obey it? If it could judge us in criminal courts with a cold, emotionless perfection, would atheists resent its judgments?

I'm a teenager raised Catholic and I think that the church shouldn't tell me exactly how to practice my faith, but that I should try and do it myself. I am semi-practicing, I haven't gone to church in a few monthes but I do believe in God and actually listen to the priest. I'm not a homosexual but I just want to know what the Vatican tells over 1 Billion people on this earth to belive about people who are gay. I don't see whats wrong with it but my parents seem to just avoid the subject (they seem neutral-semi-against it).
