Fear of darkness is a biological holdover from our ancestors. In their much more dangerous times they had good reasons to be afraid of the dark, like saber tooth tigers ready to pounce on them.
It's criminal that there are people out there in this day and age trying to convince the gullible that there are demons in the shadows.

I have this online friend (of one year) and his new girlfriend is jealous. Hell he lives in another country and she lives on the other side of the US and they have never met. He told me he would never give her my number. It was bad enough that he gave her my email address and she sent me plenty of emails. Then she calls my house and tells my husband that she does not want me talking to my friend anymore. My husband thinks she is crazy. I confronted my friend and he was sorry and said that she just kept asking. BUT HIS main point was that I was mad. He kept saying why such anger??? and I just laughed and said he was an idiot to give out my number. I wrote a blog about it even and he got mad. Why is he so mad at me for being mad at HIM???????????

My fourteenth birthday is coming up and I don't know what I should ask for. I mean want one or two nice things, but I don't want to sound like a spoiled brat either. I have a nice cell phone so I don't need to worry about that. But maybe a video iPod? Or a new camera? Nice jewelry? More make-up? Clothes? I don't know. If you were a fourteen year old girl what you ask for?
Oh, and by the way, if the thing you suggest is not that much, than you could suggest two things, but if its a big expense, then that's all.
Thanks! =] ♥♥

Why is it that...

... if I say I believe in Mithras, who died and rose from the dead, I'm Satanic, when you believe in Jesus, who died and rose from the dead?

... if I drink wine and eat bread in the name of the God and Goddess, I am committing blasphemy, when you drink wine and eat bread in the name of your Lord and God?

... if I believe in faeries, I'm an over-fantasized idiot, when you believe in angels and demons?

... if a Priestess blesses an area, it is unholy and dirty, and if one of your priests blesses an area, it is sacred and pure?

... if I invite you to a ritual, I'm trying to convert you, but if you invite me to Mass, you are doing the word of your God?

... if I say I don't like Christianity, I'm Anti-Christian and going to Hell, though you can say you hate Paganism and every God and Goddess that exists within its branches?

... if I say that I do healing magick, I am a heretic and should be burned, but if one of your kind does a healing, they are holy?

I'm sick of being American. What country should I move too?
Keep you negitive answers to yourself. If you think we are #1 then you have never been out of this country. I've lived overseas for most of my adult life. Where should I go and why? Don't worry I have cash and can pick up a language in a week. Oh and I'm 31, strait, tall, good looking blond and a jew.

talk about having God in there life and then.....well let me just tell you. I can tell you minnie who answered my question I posted In pets under dogs. She is demon infested. She advoctes my home broken into by the local drug dealers and being shot becuase I am frustrated that my dog is not territorial and I want my dog to be more aggressive to strangers. Then she post a blantant lie about me abusing my dog and ask for you so called christians to pray for me. If thatr what Christianity is all about no wonder why this world is the way you so called Christians are not a good picture to show what I want to be. For those of you who actally keep your faith I do apologize that I tend to see more hypocrits than I do see good faithful people. Minnie needs to have her demon pryed out of her yahoo with the cross that hangs on her neck.

I believe in Christianity, pretty much, but I am too obsessed with all the sinful things to form a desire to change my ways. I love money, sex, violence, theft, manipulation... I probably almost fit the definition of 'evil'. So what can one do to bring their minds to such a state that they are able to cast away everything they've ever known life to be worth living for, and create a fresh start?

Or do you believe you have a purpose?

If you don't think you have a purpose on this Earth, how do you get from day to day without feeling inconsequential and unnessasary?

Nobel Quran Sura 4 verse 89

"They wish that you reject Faith, as they have rejected (Faith), and thus that you all become equal (like one another). So take not Auliyâ' (protectors or friends) from them, till they emigrate in the Way of Allâh (to Muhammad ). But if they turn back (from Islâm), take (hold) of them and kill them wherever you find them, and take neither Auliyâ' (protectors or friends) nor helpers from them"

I basically disagree with this verse. There is nothing wrong with being equal on this earth with people of other faith, religion or race. Ultimately, it is God who will judge us, not man. Why then take no friends or protectors from people of other faiths? Then it goes on to say kill those who reject islam? Is this a correct translation? Is there anyone who knows arabic that can verify this translation?

Perfect logic to Atheists, perfect egotistical assumptive fallacy to Most Christians?

I will give you 15 minutes to guess and if no one recalls his statement, then I will post his religious type statement, and ask you to comment on it.

(PS: I and my wife are regularly big fans of Bill Maher. He is intelligent and funny and he does seem to have some great reasons to Impeach Bush.)

Some Christians claim that the Bible is the final word of God. Others say that he still communicates. I personally would think that if God wanted to talk to man, he could. Is the Bible God's final word? Or have we already limited God to the Bible only?

Um i was wondering if you could attract unholy things such as demons by just showing some sort of intrest in that subject?
I used to really like the show "A haunting" And it usually had something to do with a demon in it. But during the night (every night) I would hear a light thump on my door. At first it kinda scared me and i would try to recreate the sound and i just couldnt eventually i just blew it off. And recently i watched a bunch of episodes of a haunting, and a weird thing happened it was night and i was just ready to go to bed and you know how you can spin the dowel around on blinds to make it so you can see out them? Well i made it so they were closed and i turned around walked about five steps took a drink of water turned around again and they were even.

I am interested in communicating, connecting or bonding with a non-human entity.

How could I do this? What should I know before hand? What should I and should not do and know? Any other questions that I should be asking and why?
