how was your day?

For many, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Carolus Magnus, William the Conqueror and many more are considered great men, then, probably around Napoleon and Hitler, things swing to tyrants, oppressors and homicidal maniacs.
All of the aforementioned have acted in their own interests, with a total lack of empathy for the people conquered and have played chess with the lives of their own countrymen in the world´s arena.
I´m not judging, I just want your opinions.
Do you think we should just put them all in the same category, or are there special circumstances that change their status?
Sorry for posting this here, but I like the regulars here and for good or worse, many already know me.
You´re free to elaborate as much as you want.

I am interested in the Catholic faith, but how do I start participating? Someone else I know would also like to be baptized, but does not speak english--how do I overcome this barrier?

I was raised in church and it was a roller coaster ride for years. I would be faithful, then not. Back and forth. I knew something was missing although I never questioned the validity of God or His Word, I just knew there was more to it than I was being taught. A few years ago I began seriously reading and digging into Gods Word.
I stopped reading what I was taught and began reading ALL of Gods Word trying to truly "rightly divide" His word as told us in 1 Timothy 2:15.

Any others with this experience

“I do insist on the certainty that sooner or later – once we hold power – Christianity will be overcome and the German Church established. Yes, the German church, without a Pope and without the bible, and Luther, if he could be with us, would give us his blessing.” (Adolf Hitler, Hitler’s speeches, edited by Prof. N.H. Baynes [oxford, 1942], pg. 369.)

Women get all of the money they make and at least half of what men make. Having a girlfriend or a wife is an expensive habbit.

I have just been asked a question I cannot answer, and I thought I would pass it on to my many Witch friends on here (Wiccan, Pagan or otherwise):

Is it possible to cast a spell of any kind without the use of potions and stuff?

Im only 13 and i think i may have condemned myself to hell for life =(. I go to church every Sunday and i have really started believing recently, i go to church as a choice now. But i was on the internet and i was bored and after a few google drifts i found myself on a website and it said that if you said 'i deny the holy spirit' then you will go to hell, regardless of wether you became the next pope or something like that. I dont know what i was thinking i wasnt really myself and within a few seconds i had said the words. I have regretted it for every hour i am awake since and i cant stop thinking about it. I dont believe that i dent the holy spirit, i believe it is part of me and i am open to it, but in luke 12:10 it says that any blasphemy against the holy spirit is unforgivable. As i said i dont believe it, but i cant stop thinking about it and im so upset.

Did i misunderstand it or am i really headed there :'(

Why is it that when science proves something from Christianity to be true, that Christians shout it from the rooftops and post it all over their websites etc. yet when science proves that something from Christianity is wrong or false that the evidence is attacked/denied/ignored...?

Ok, this is a serious question, so please no stupid answers. On our way home earlier today we were all having a conversation about religion (don’t even remember why now) It got on to the subject of each different religions, and how we treat the dead body, so we said that we bury, the Sikhs cremate etc, then we said that Muslims usually bury within 24 hours of death (if poss.) and that they are buried on their side facing Mecca? we then went on to explain about the prophets etc (our children are very inquisitive) after a few moments our 6 yr old pipes up that "if everyone is buried on their side facing Mecca, surely they will just be facing the person buried in front of him/her?" We had to admit for a 6 yr old she speaks from a logical point. Do you think she is correct? Has she just upset the whole religious aspect in asking this question?

This is a serious question so please no silly answers, please don't insult my daughter’s inquisitive nature.

5 And this is the message which we have heard from him and announce unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

6 If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

7 but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Fellow Christians, Jews, and anyone else who may want to contribute. What is everyone's take on the Garden of Eden story. Do you believe the tree of knowledge to be an actual tree with fruit, or something else? Do you believe the serpent was an actual serpent? I woud love to hear everyones thoughts on this.

I respect black women very much as individuals and equals, but I have difficulty seeing any as sexually appealing. I look at Rihanna for example, and she has a nice body, but I still don't find her attractive at all.

I find all other races sexually appealing though.

Is this racist?

I'm not asking for problems with the theory of evolution.

A good example of evidence for creationism would be some observation which was predicted by it. That is much better support than merely giving an explanation for observations which were known before it was formulated. Far less convincing is evidence which has an alternative explanation.
