In the year 1904, Katherine L. Bates coined it oh so well:
What happened to this zeal for America and God?

O BEAUTIFUL FOR SPACIOUS SKIES

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain;
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood,
From sea to shining sea.

O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness,
And every gain divine.

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam,
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self control,
Thy liberty in law.

why do atheists seem to have to comment on religious questions about God and the bible? All they tell us is the usual God is imaginary crap or make a joke out of it.

Ok, so this is hypothetical, just something I've thought about before.
So say a girl is 18. She's still a virgin, but her hymen broke at some point(using a tampon, riding a bike, whatever).
She has a boyfriend and they mess around. During all that the guy gets semen on his hands, and then he starts to finger her(the semen is still alive because it was only in the air for a few seconds).
Is it possible she could be pregnant from that?

To eliminate any suspicions, not this isn't about me. I'm 17 and I've had sex(and use both kinds of protection and only have one partner)

I've just thought about this before and wanted to know if anyone maybe knew anything about it. Maybe some documented cases or something. Or just what you think

Why do pixies have dust? What is it used for? Are they just poor housekeepers? What are the spiritual implications of being or seeing pixies?

This is reading an entire book, or chapter.. not looking up quotes in support of "Awake" or "Watchtower" really reading the bible.. but reading a section from start to finish. then discussing about what that Chapter or book means to you .. ( NOT VERSE)

I've been really down lately and basically depressed for a week and a half. Today during mass everything seemed to be aimed at me and gave me so many answers to questions I've had. It got to the point I cried a bit, quietly thankfully.
I was just wondering if this has happend to anyone else?

If you refer to the universe as the heavens that would contradict the statement that God lives outside the universe.

Here is a picture. I do not remember reading anything about this.

Why can't WE save Ourselves with our own good deeds and Love for God ?

2007-09-16 16:03:42 · 18 answers · asked by B 4 in Religion & Spirituality

This is the gist of what I believe: I don't practice "religion" (rules or rituals) but spirituality. I believe in love as the universal truth. I DON'T believe that my views are the only "True" ones. I respect everyone's views as long as they aren't diliberatly out there hurting things or trashing the earth. People classify me as a Neo-Pagan, but I don't even know what that is. I am from Kokomo, IN. If you know any groups or anything where I can meet people with similar beliefs let me know!

31To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

33They answered him, "We are Abraham's descendants[a] and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?"

34Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. 35Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. 36So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

When I read this article I felt relieved http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070916/ap_on_fe_st/saggy_britches

I never liked the fashion from the outset, and the excuses to wear saggy pants, seem just lame..
The fashion trend started in prison for Christ's sake, then it moved on even to the NBA, where the players wear such baggy shorts nowadays, it is almost like they could hide a 'piece' in them, and shoot their opponent.

Does this indicate that everyone goes to heaven?
Or that near death experiences are bio-physical and not spiritual?
Or maybe that those who see hell don't come back?
What do you think?

Yesterday, my daughter and I had one on one time...we went to the park and rode the train and carousel...today I went shopping with a friend. It's great meeting people virtually, but how did you connect in the real world?

I believe in Pixies.

You know what Pixies are, right?

the little creatures that look like people with wings?

Do you believe in Pixies? Or Pixie dust?

I have seen many of them in my room at one time, as many as twenty....they just come in through the window.

They are so cute!

Have you ever seen them?

I'm interested in clear communication, and I'm not a chatroom enthusiast, so I don't really find the "chatroom abbreviations" and text messaging style questions and responses too charming. In fact, trying to interpret them leaves me annoyed and I usually skip the question or response entirely.
Does anyone else find this as annoying as I do??

Acts 24:14-16

If we understand that we are sinners saved by grace, we may struggle with the idea of a “blameless conscience” (Acts 24:16). After all, we know our own hearts and motivations. Yet the apostle Paul found a way to ensure that his conscience commended rather than condemned him. What was his secret? Paying attention to his beliefs and his behavior
