hey peoplez, well i was adopted and well my great grand mother from my adopted family was a witch and she went to a real witch school not like harry potter but sorta like that cuz they studied the craft and it was a school for it but any way i am like a natural born witch i no that sounds crazy but it is true

i have psychic abilities and i have always had a connection with animals and weird things always happen to me

do u think i was ment to be with this family

the only problem is that this family doesnt practice the craft anymore so i am like the only one who is interested in it.

but there is a spirit in my house that always tries to connect with me but i get to freaked out by it so do u think that could be my great great grandmother or something

also can someone help me practice my religion cuz i barely no anything about it...

PLEASE ONLY ANSWER IF U CAN HELP AND I DO NOT TAKE ANY OF THAT SATANISM CRAP CUZ THIS IS NOT DEVILISH

Okay, why do I need God? I don't want to be one of 'God's Warriors.' If there is a Christ, I doubt very much that it was a man. If there is a Christ, it's above us all, but doesn't squash us. It doesn't judge or condemn or inflict its own will on us. It doesn't demonize everything from sex to free-thinking, and it certainly doesn't take sides or pit brother against brother.

So why do I need God when the 'God' being exalted all around me, by those who think they're doing God a service by condemning others, is a terrorist? Why do I need God, when God is the cause of all the hate I see all around me, threatening my freedom and dictating my life, through his 'warriors?'

If there's a God its love.

Seriously, how many of you are your religion because you were raised to believe it? There are so many out there. Have you explored others and came back to the one that you were raised to be?

How did the universe come to be, did it expand from an infinately dense point (singularity) If so, where did the singularity come from? Ifr there was "nothing" before the universe, then what is "nothing"? If we come to the conclusion that the universe is infinately old, how about a creator that is infinately old. Did the universe come from nothing? Very tough questions, and, if it is used to suggest that their is a creator, it is pretty much immune to scientific attack

As we all know as the story goes Jesus was borne during the reign of King Herod the Great when he ordered the killing of the children, then in Luke 2:1, it says that the birth of Jesus was when the census was taken throughout the Empire and Quirinius was the governor of Syria, that was sometime in 6AD, but historically Herod already died in 4BC and that's 10 years apart.

I've been visiting other sites and I just don't feel comfortable there. I gave what I thought was a nice, reasoned answer to a question, and got two thumbs down.

So, I'm slinking back home to where I feel more comfortable -- in seniors.

I dreamt about myself going inside a Church with a sort of celebration in it, people were standing anxiously looking at the altar... then as i peeked through the numerous heads, i saw a row of people in animal costumes (i saw a zebra, a giraffe, an elephant, etc.) that came out at one side of the altar, parading and dancing to a steady beat.

I don't know what I am. I'm not sure if I believe in God or not. I hate the Church and all their followers and fanatics and preachers. But I don't blame God for that. I'm beginning to see that God doesn't make miracles and chooses not to save people. But at the same time I question why. I'm just so confused on my belief on God but I know for sure that I don't believe in the Church. It was actually the church and their people that chased me away from God and now I feel like I did something bad and I'm so confused so someone, if someone can help me? WITHOUT PREACHING PLEASE
I saw a woman and a priest holding a sign near my town (in the metropolitan area) and it said ONLY ROMAN CATHOLICS GO TO HEAVEN. And it pissed me off. SO don't do that please :D

I don't understand this. Not only would religious beliefs taint government, but government would taint religious beliefs.

What outcome would you desire by having Church and State integrated at more advanced levels? And would the downside of mixing the two be worth the desired outcomes? Explain please.
