I personally think communication improves understanding. How about yourself?

Ok. Im not crazy. Maybe Im seeing things. But almost everyday when I wake up I see a different person. A long time ago I saw a tall bald man staring at me and smiling from the other side of the room. I thought it was a ghost. Now I see a person every morning. Almost. For example, my curtain has flowers, one day in the flowers I saw a picture of a man form and he was looking at me. I see different people all over my room on different days. Today when I woke up I saw a chubby short man sitting on my chair across the room. He had straps around him like someone tied him up. He was looking up and like trying to mov and stuff. As soon as I saw it I got scared and it disappeared. I woke up and quickly ran out of the room. But I see different people almost every morning. Im sure its just my head, but is there a name for it?

If time does not flow for him, he can't move, think or act in any way because doing any of those requires time to pass.

Does the power that hate has to tear people apart make the power of love to bring them together seem laughable? Or does loves ability to heal all wounds ensure that it will dominate over hates ability to bring us down? Why did you choose the one you chose?

Or is abortion only a symptom of a more serious problem- militant apathy towards the Creator and Sustainer of our lives?

I shopped every week last 10 yrs at a local supermarket spending about $200 a week. Its a filthy store, the people who work there are nosey. Also one time I only spent $50, the manager ran over and said "fill up your cart, spend more money".. The deleivery guy was always complaining about carrying my stuff..My friend told me about an online supermarket here in NYC called Fresh Direct. You order online, they deleiver to your door. I used them and they were great and the food was very clean and fresh unlike this supermarket delevery guys are very happy and nice to bring my packages.
I pass by the old supermarket to get home, past few months the manager just stares at me, giving a nasty look, not saying anything. recently ..manager ran over to me and said "have you been on vacation"? I said "no I use fresh direct now, the online supermarket, its great". His mouth dropped, starred at me, saying nothing and i walked away. He continues to stare at me.
How do I deal with this Person?

I grew up very poor, near Oakland. A lot of brothers lived in my community. But, only about three dozen graduated highshool with me. Most of thje rest were white and Asian. Why?
I went to college near Oakland before I ran out of money, and moved to Phoenix. Very few brothers were in any of my classes. From the looks of things, there are very few in college here as well.
I know many black men that are IT professionals, dentitsts, software developers, managers, and so on. They all have a few things in common; Not a one of them speak ‘slap’ like, ‘Who you be’, ‘whas is up’, ‘were it be’. None of them wear hats backward. None of them walk around wearing ther pants hanging down. They all act professional.
I can’t even remember the last time someone made a racial statement to me. Why is that? Maybe that is because I am a positive person whom does not act ‘ghetto’.

...what is 'good' or what is 'evil?'

What I mean to ask is, where did these two ideas come from? It appears as though these concepts come from the various world religions. And I mean that they originated from these.

Society and parents as the source of these, passing these concepts down from generation to generation, doesn't tell anyone what the origin of 'good' and 'evil' are.

Any thoughts?

Ok so I usually don't ask for a dream interpretation but this dream I had recently while being obvious on the surface seems to have a hidden meaning. Then again I could be wrong. Anyway the dream goes like this:

I'm standing in a doorway and this boy that I know comes up behind me. The expression on my face shows surprise but he has a face of leering satisfaction. He comes close enough for me to feel his body on mine and he reaches around me and hugs my chest with his right arm and grabs my (now erect yet unnoticed before) penis with his left hand and squeezes it. The look on my face shows clear shock but his face has a "come hither" seduction to it.

Ok so the boy in my dream is a friend of mine who although I find him attractive (I mean very attractive) he's more like an older brother to me and I'm more comfortable seeing him as such. So any ideas on what this dream means?

I am an atheist and very firm in my conviction that god does not and cannot exist. While I'm not militant or even really outspoken, I have made a decision and I'm sticking to it.

My mother is pretty religious... she goes to Mass every Sunday, prays every night, helps out at church, and so on. It is the same with her brother and sisters and parents (my uncles, aunts, cousins, and grandparents on that side).

The problem is that I know it really upsets my grandmother and to a somewhat lesser extent my mom that I do not believe in god. They do not know that I am an atheist, just that several years ago I stopped going to Mass. My grandmother just sent me an email asking if I mind if she prays for me so when she goes to heaven she doesn't have to worry... how can I stop hurting her without compromising my beliefs?

I don't want to convert them, just make things a little less tense. Should I tell them that I am an atheist, and if so why I believe what I do? Please help!

One person claims that she hears the voice of Yahweh and that Yahweh can also hear her thoughts.

Another person claims that he can hear alien messages and these aliens can also read his mind.

How would an unbiased observer differentiate between the two claims? How could they prove their beliefs to one who heard no voices at all?

im an atheist, but is this sort of like dominations among atheist/ agnostics? seperating the herd per se? by their definition I guess i would be coined as a bright. what do you think of this?

http://www.the-brights.net/

"Of course, a great many Brights are atheists by definition (e.g., they are without belief in any gods). Many self-identify as atheists, too. But, by the same token (i.e., by definition), atheists who have worldviews that do incorporate supernatural ideas are not Brights. It helps to keep those atheists in mind. This helps to see how being a bright is something else. There are the atheists who wear magnets to ward off disease, atheists who arrange their furniture using feng shui, or make decisions by horoscopes, or plant their gardens "by the signs." These are atheists who would not be Brights. They do not have the requisite naturalistic worldview. "
