Hi there, I am a scottish Italian catholic. Well when I say catholic I mean I am baptised catholic and go to church sometimes but I feel that being a good person and talking to god in your own time wether that be on the bus.. in bed etc then church isnt neccesarily always needed... anyways.. different matter.. Basicly my family are very religious and my little cousin Aldo has asked me to be his sponsor for his comunion?? I have a vague idea what this entails but i think it is almost like a godmother is this correct? Im hounoured and want to know how to do the best job I can!!!!

Is the Church Christ founded either visible or not? Or is it both visible and not?

hey again,
I just wanted to thank everyone for the answers to my previous question.. theres just one thing I'm specifically unsure of in relation to my essay question which is:

'In your opinion, based on the evidence in three selected creation myths, which aspects of mythological explanation are common to all people, and which reflect human adaptations to particular environments?'

how exactly would you say the 'and which reflect human adaptations to particular environments' fits in with the rest of the question and what exactly is it referring to/asking?

thanks again and this is the last time ill ask for anything.

So taking drugs for extra performance is not allow but taking help from an Omnipotent Creator of Universe is simply fine?


Just a silly question for many god believers obviously but these are little things that prove that prayers never work or atleast people barely have any confidence in them working at the right time...

I got to thinking about something, and came to the realization that even though proof is not needed to claim something doesn't exist. The claims within that need proof.

If you are going to make the claim that "God does not exist is a fact" the burden of showing me every test ever done, every artifact ever found, every book ever written, and every piece of conceivable evidence is verifiable as false rests with you, and until you can do that the correct position for any TRUE logical thinking is that WE DO NOT KNOW whether or not God exsists.

[Example] the bible is false, well prove it there are inaccuracies, but there are also very precise and detailed of events that HAVE been verified to be true also

If you believe the scripture is true, then you must subordinate all other sources to second place. So, if science seems to contradict Scripture, then it must be science that is wrong. Since no man was there at the beginning, we can only guess what happened. But since God was there, and he told us what happened, we should believe God, not men.

CHRISTIANS: do you agree?

LIberal Christians who try to read the Bible not-literally: what do you say about this???

How can anyone say these kids got what they deserved? no one deserves to live in an unjust society! Why is Louisiana still acting as if it is 1950 instead of 2007?

if you have no clue, please google "The jena 6" and get some info.... As young americans it is our DUTY to ensure these types of things do NOT continue to happen. As a woman of color a am appalled at this situation.

When they were there they asked the Holy Father the pope to bless them but he refused but they insisted so at last Pius IX gave in so he blessed them with the following Latin words:
"Benedicaris ab illo in cuius honore cremaberis, Amen"
The three vicars went home very satisfied.

This one always makes me laugh.

I am not sexist but reading Genesis almost suggests without Eve we would better off.

Anyone else agree or disagree?

I heard an argument against science being just a guess that it constantly corrects itself, isn't this better than something that never does (apart from the new testament, but 2000 years guys, change the record)

I received my email verse this morning & this is what I got, please feel free to share but please don't slam. Pretend God is the person on earth you really really love & wouldn't want to hurt their feelings: Grandma, Mom,Dad, wife, child, best friend, lover etc. Now pretend it is Grandma &you really love her. You go over to her house and she tells you she has brand new towels in the bathroom & please don't wipe your dirty hands on them . So you eat chocolate & then wipe your hands on her towel. She comes out of the bathroom crying, & you feel just AWFUL that you have hurt her so. God feels like your Grandma when you sin against Him. Does Jesus still feel the nails, every time we fail ? 1st verse
They tell me Jesus died
For my transgressions
That he paid that price a long, long time ago
When he gave his life for me
On a hill called Calvary
But there's something else I want to know

Chorus
Does he still feel the nails
Every time I fail
Can he hear the crowd cry "Crucify" again
Am I causing him pain
Then I know I've got to change
I just can't bear the thought of hurting him.

2nd verse
It seems that I'm so good at breaking promises
And I treat his precious grace so carelessly
But each time he forgives
What if he re-lives
The agony He felt on that tree

Chorus 1x

Holy, holy
Holy is the Lord
Holy Holy
Holy is the Lord

Do you still feel the nails
Every time I fail
Have I crucified you Jesus with my sins
Oh I'm tired of playing games
I really want to change
I never want to hurt you again

Holy, Holy
Holy is the Lord
Holy, Holy
Holy is the Lord

A colleague of mine is pecking my head as she feels that there is some superstitious meaning of ' A butterfly landing on you'
I think it means the poor thing was hitching a ride after a hard day, she feels it has great meaning behind it.
Any ideas???

or even pray to and read the word of God?

Simon t said this to me when I answered the question below

"Edit:
Tigerlily. You are wrong. You guys do not worship the same god(s). You just happen to give your god(s) the same name."

So if we don't worship the same God as Christians than who do Catholics worship?

Yes , indeed they are. They will help You anytime you ask them. And I will prove to You on this site by the Christian answerer.

So, Christian, prove to them that I am right. OK.

I need your help now. You see I posted a question lately asking " Why do christian lie about hell", it is about inviting the Christian to visit Hell, for it is a beautifull and wonderfull place and not as what they thought. But none take up the offer and now my job as an agent of Lord Lucifer is at stake.

My Lord who is kind and mercifull gives me a second chance . If I could bring just one Christian in this forum to visit the glorious and beautifull side of Hell ( theres two side ) I will be a confirm agent for His Kingdom. So I know that it is easy because all of you in this site are the nicest people and you will help me in my mission.

So any one of you who is willing to come with me to Hell for a visit please respond immediately. You will have a pleasant stay there.You all deserve to visit Hell
