I've noticed that my granddaughter is bordeline breaking the first commandment (Exodus 2: 2-6) with her constant worship of Zac Efron. I am going to show her some pictures and movie clips of Marlon Brando when he was young, and then show her some pictures of Marlon Brando when he was fat and ugly. My whole point is that physical beauty is only temporary, but I don't know where to take it from there. Thanks in advance.

Do you know anything of the life of Jesus BEFORE he became a prophet? If you don't you should, and if you do, you know he was not a "sinless" sacrifice...The childhood of Jesus is shrouded in secrecy by the Catholic church for one simple reason, it proves that Jesus was not free of sin. In fact, in the Bible, when Jesus entered into the temple and threw out the money-changers and hawkers, did he not transgress?

Many Muslims say that Islam discouraged slavery and that Islam had a long-term plan to end slavery on the long run. However, I realize that slavery did not end in Saudi Arabiya (the birth place of Islam and the most holy country for Muslims) until 1962.

Is that what Muslims meant by saying "long-term" plan?

3 years ago, when I was still a minor, I stole something. I have recently become a Christian, and am struggling to figure out whether or not I should confess to this crime. Or maybe, I was thinking I could just pay the person back anonymously. If I confessed, I would lose my job, as I am required to have background checks every so often, and theft, even a misdemenor, is cause for them to let me go.

I have gotten many great answers from this community (under a different name, I'm reserved about this subject), especially on the subject of christianity. In fact, when I was searching for Him, it was from many of your answers that led me where I needed to be. So now, I hope I hear some good advice, it has been on my mind for a while

thanks

There was one that lived under our basement stairs. I was terrified of it and wouldn't go down there for anything. He was always waiting to grab your feet through the spaces between the steps. When I got older I realized the monster was imaginary and the fear vanished. There was nothing under the steps but a few cobwebs.
Knowing the ability of the human imagination to cause something to seem real, don't you think there may be other imaginary beings you may have been holding on to?

There is nothing up in the sky but air.

seriously. i was just thinking about this after i posted my last question.

what about all of the other matter in the universe? where in the hell did that all come from? are there any scientific theories on that? the big bang doesn't say that matter was created...crazy. my mind is on fire.

do religious people think that god created all of this matter just for fun?

why does life get all of the attention?

The norm in America seems to be for both parents to work and for the young baby to be put in a daycare center. The daycare centers tend to me crowded, small, too expensive, and have uneducated and underpaid employees. Why is this acceptable to most American mothers?

If many Buddhists are more Christ-like than Christians, is that enough to save their soul? Or do they have to believe that Jehovah sent his son as a blood sacrifice to atone for the original sin of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden?

I am writing a story about these creatures that feed on a person "aura". So, I am wondering if anyone has heard of something like that. That way, I can give the daft things a name.
