What do you believe should be an appropriate gift for his irreverent and inimitable doltishness? Any and all suggestions will be taken into consideration, using ethical constraints,of course.

If you've read any of F. Scott Fitzgeralds works, or even seen a movie based on one...I'd really like to hear your opinion.

It seems like people are getting worse and worse, the morality of people in general is going down the drain. What is causing this, is it society, rage, non-religion, bad parenting,.........?

the only different you never mention a christian man did it. but you will be so excited to say "a muslim man did it". that's how unfair a person can be. Islam, this beautiful religion protects our rights and our women. leave Islam alone, we already know its the true word from our lord.

I am learning to use a pendulum for divination and such. I purchased a rose quartz one and things were fine until this morning I took it out of it's bag and found that the tip of the crystal had broken off! Is it ruined for pendulum work now? I can't find the tip either. Do I need to get another one?

This is a question that I have been trying to answer myself for many years. Every answer that I have ever received does not seem to have any merit; the reasoning always seems to lack any real legitimacy. This question and my thoughts about it are in my
"Book Of Things I May Never Understand"

Yes, I know that Christians believe in one God and that any other Gods before that one God is considered sinful and I accept and understand their belief. I also understand where Wiccans are coming from and there beliefs. I have also noticed that many Wiccans believe the God and Goddess work together and create and even bigger power--- now I don't want to offend anyone, but isn't that kind of similar to the almighty power of God than? Is it not possible that what Wiccans believe and what Christians believe is essentially the same thing, just that Wiccans break it down into all its elements? I know many Wiccans that believe Christ exists or existed and roamed the earth...

As if, having more faith, was a bad thing.. Hmm?

Doesn't it imply that even christian actually realises that faith is nothing more than a "cop-out"?

Israel revisited:

The nation Israel would be born in one day (Isaiah 66:8). On May 14, 1948 Israel became a nation.

The Jews would begin to regather in Israel (Isaiah 11:11-12; Ezekiel 37:21-22; 38:8). Over five million Jews have returned to Israel in recent times! This is unprecedented in human history. Never has a people group been dispersed for hundreds of years to every corner of the globe, and then regathered back to their homeland.

All surrounding nations would be united against Israel (Psalm 83:4-8; Zechariah 12:2). This has never happened in history. Yet today, Israel is surrounded by Muslim nations sworn to her destruction.

Anti-Semitism worldwide anticipated (Deuteronomy 28:37; Jeremiah 29:18; 44:8)

If you think that ordinary men could have predicted these things, you have more faith than I do!

I always said I wasn't racist. And I'm not. But when I hear all the jokes I make and my friends... I realized that a lot of people are racist. I'm so sick of being called a honkey or whitebread. So sick of it. It works both ways with racism. It's not just minorities... why can't people recognize that. They are so worried about catering to the other cultures problems... they don't even see the hatred there is for white people as well. It doesn't count...

what is wrong with people??

I've heard stories of people who are getting heart-attacks thinking that they are in Hell. They literally see fire and demons yet are still partially in the Earth Realm. Do you know anyone that has seen parts of the afterlife while getting close to death?
