I am an Atheist.
I dreamt that a very bright light came to me into my dreams and with a very exquisite voice he told me "Search for the Truth".
What does he mean? I woke up frightened.
What should I do?
Do you believe me or no? why and why not?

I know about noise ordinances, but come on! We live in a townhome. We work late and eat late. My neighbor complains that even though I do it quietly, I shouldn't BBQ after 10pm because the smell makes her hungry and she can't sleep......Thoughts?

They can look, but why do they interrupt my enjoyment of food to discuss my eating. I think it's impolite. I answer them, but haven't figured out what to say politely to make them stop. What do you think?

When the notion of self as physical loses it's hold and you realize your energy is constantly flowing outwards and a new horizon comes into view, now how do you direct yourself, the energy that you are?


Intent is most excellent as is action but is there a third piece of the key?

Then the Lord said to Moses, "See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts-to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of craftsmanship. - Exodus 31:1-5

Bezalel was called by God to perform a most important work for Him. I am sure that Bezalel believed that he was naturally gifted with his hands to make fine crafts with gold, silver, and bronze. He probably did not associate it with God's work. But the Scripture tells us that God chose him and filled him with God's Spirit to enable him.

Mit fünf Jahren kam ich in die Aljnn Schule - die beste Schule von allen, aber leider gab mich meine Mutter dann mit meiner Schwester in die Schmidt Schule. Als ich sieben Jahre alt war, übersiedelten meine Familie und ich für ein Jahr nach Amerika. Das war toll - ich hatte so viel Spaß. Als wir zurück kamen musste ich wieder in meine alte Schule, zu diesem Zeitpunkt begann in Israel die zweite Intifada, das war die schlechteste Zeit meines Lebens. Ich blieb bis 14 in der Schmidt Schule und dann übersiedelten wir in die USA - das war eine großartige Erfahrung, meine neuen Freunde waren so verständnisvoll und hilfreich - sie halfen mir mit allem aus und jetzt, seit ich ich wieder zurück in Israel bin, fehlen sie mir sehr. Das war das beste Jahr bis jetzt und ich wünschte ich könnte zu meinen Freunden und meiner Schule dort zurückkehren.

I just moved into this town and I don’t have any family here or met any friends here yet. I’ve been going to church a lot lately and my kids want to go through their sacraments, my oldest is almost 13 and has been asking about it a lot. Since I don’t know anyone here to fulfill the role as God parents, what should I do? Does it matter that I don’t have anyone? Can they still be baptized?

and u cant change who you are or how you were made. so when god punishes homosexuals, isnt he really punishing them because he made them that way? isnt that a bit unfair?

Dear God:
I know that I'm a sinner. I deserve Hell. But You sent Jesus to die for my sins. I believe that He died and rose again. I ask you now to forgive my sins, once an for all. I now receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Personal Saviour. Please come into my heart and save me, Help me to know I am saved and live for You, the rest of my life. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.

God's Plan of Salvation

The Bible says there is only one way to Heaven
Jesus said: "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me." (John 14:6)

Good works cannot save you.

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)

Trust Jesus Christ today! Here's what you must do:
Admit you are a sinner.
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" (Romans 3:23)

"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Romans 5:12)

"If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us." (1 John 1:10)

Be willing to turn from sin (repent).
Jesus said: "I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." (Luke 13:5)

Personally I have never voted for the Black leader election. It must be on Feburary 29. Mr. Alvin Sharpton and Mr. Jesse Jackson are two Black americans, that the media likes to talk to the most. Are they self appointed or are they creations of talk radio? Who deemed these to be Black leaders of America. Why are they always talking on Cable new shows. Then it got me thinking. Is Bill O'Reilly a White leader, or is Rush and Sean Hannity? Are there any White leaders?

I will give very detailed answers to people, especially in the health section, but they will choose someones answer that is short and sometimes wrong!!

I know this is stupid, but i wanted to know if anyone else gets irritated when they go out of their way to leave a long detailed answer, only to see that the person chose a really dumb answewr or short answer instead.

atleast people can thank everyone who has answered when they choose the best answer
