Marriage:
1. the social institution under which a man and woman establish their decision to live as husband and wife by legal commitments, religious ceremonies, etc.

If you are going to create a new sociably acceptable life style, then why not create a new word to match, one that does not destroy the meaning of the original word? Consider this, if every student graduating from collage were called DR’s in stead of gradates then what good would having a Ph.D. be in distinguishing the real ones

try reading the Gospel of Mary and The Book of Enoch, books denied by The Church as being false? But both books have infinite wisdom in them and would probably greatly benefit those of you who need faith. I am an atheist and have read about many different religions and spiritual belief systems, the ignorance displayed by god haters and god lovers is appalling on this board.

3-4 years ago, i was in middle school. i went to a really ghetto school and i was a good, proper girl. i was kinda the odd one out because i lived upper middle class and most students didnt. i didnt really fit in even tho i tried. girls would always pick on me. i never got in a fight tho, but once a girl came up to me and was like "i wanna fight u". i never did anything to her. ive never even seen her in my life. i just ignored her and everything. then she started spreading rumors about me saying that i called the police on her cuz she was tryin to fight me, which NEVER happened. then, after a while, she started calling me ugly and i know im not ugly. i suspected jealousy, but im not gonna conclude that. then i went to a prestigious school. it was way different. people looked up to me. i was considered most likely to be on the cover of a fashion magazine and voted best smile. how can two different classes of people be so different?

It says this in the Bible in Proverbs. But what if you don't believe in a God or are an atheist? Does this mean that one will become foolish? Aren't there a lot of atheists who are not fools?

I am a retail manager and I constantly run into middle aged male customers who think they are smarter than everyone even though most of them have blue collar jobs. They talk down to all the female cashiers. They always have a problem with the sale on something or the service and even though many times they are wrong as one could be wrong they act as though we unintelligent morons. I am a male in my mid 20's and sometimes I think it is because they resent that their youth is gone and they have to take it out on younger people.

For some strange reason they seem to believe atheists need to 'open their hearts' or 'find a purpose'. There is usually some reference such as this which suggests atheists are lost or something.
Are these religious people so methodically and effectively brainwashed that they can't even grasp how people can happily function (and therefore be open-hearted) without the need to trust an invisible god?

I was inspired by an answer one of my contacts received with a link to demonology, and upon reviewing the vast list of Demons and their purpose, some of them were the bringers of inspiration, love, music, returning runaways, aiding soldiers etc, so is it safe to say that not all of the fallen were evil and have actually contributed more than the ideology of the Guardian Angel, and the cruelty of the Powers, the term Demon has always had such a negative reaction when the punishment from God for their rebellion was the separation from Him, why is it that the general popular belief is that when they were cast out of Gods presence that they lost their original nature and became evil and ugly? any and all replies welcomed.

I think I should, but when I enter the door and don't see a place to put my shoes i hesitate, and then i feel weird...I'm personally used to taking my shoes off when I go in a house (my entire family doesn't wear shoes in the house), but I know thats not always the case, so any advice would be nice.

Or are they women hated because they show signs of intelligence and independence, and science?

I am, and I have found for years now that churches (in general) are not welcoming to us. What do I mean by this? We are excluded instead of included, we are not approached to lead Bible studies and the like, etc., etc. especially if we are intelligent and attractive.

I also have found an attitude with married women of the church that is less than Christ-like towards single women. I wonder if they are jealous that we have our freedom? Feel "threatened" by our intelligence and attractive appearance? Perhaps they are in bad marriages? Or maybe they project onto us some negative idea that reflects their own sordid past of sexual sin?

I feel it is growing much worse and am totally fed up with it. Does that mean I will not go to church, no, I will continue to press on and stand my ground because I know God is not happy with this treatment of us and has encouraged me to "buck this system" of Satan.

What has been your experience?

I have cut & paste (below) pieces of that "CommonSense" guy's questions and randomly mixed them up into a cut-up poem. Does it make as much sense as his typical meandering nonsense?:

Hard to believe whatever or whoever seduces the excretions principle when they expunge higher realization from their hypnotic Biblical influence, a curse. Those who go gung-ho for woman can make sex seem as folly, a NASA rocket onward to ever greater folly, even if you happen to be fallen into this system. Just look at the animalistic compensations behind that statement, beguiled by the boasts as progress. We can have no special human identity as you today when in likeness of God for the wrong choices, pride reality of his variations on his fallen self of his reverence for overriding a woman perpetuating to an endless chain, with bigger family he rejects God’s great ancient monkeys or is a challenge, yet moves pridefully,she satisfies his need.
How can she do this?

What says you?

For those who dont believe in ghost or the afterlife dont waste your time answering this question with ignorant remarks.

My house is haunted, im 100% positive about that, Its about 150 years old, i bought it about 6-7 years ago and completely remodeled it and now im liveing in it with my family (girlfriend and my step daughter)
Sence i bought it we have had numerious paranormal things happen that i cant explain, I dident really believe in ghost untill i moved here. I just wanted to know if some of the things that happen have an explaination or hint of why certain things happen. Heres a list and it happens at least once a week.
- Doors lock and unlock
- pools of water apear on the kitchen floors and counters
- Me and my girlfriends bed shakes at night (no were not doing it lol) and as soon as one of us sits up it imeditaly stops.
