if you read one book over and over and over , and never exercise your mind outside of this hypnotic state that envelopes you, and you just stand by as your brain cells slowly disintegrate back into the primordial slime which all man arose from, would you consider it ritualistic euthanasia?

Ok folk, i hate to ask this in year 2007 almost 2008, but why the hell does race matter???? Why do i have to say what race i am on my resume? Why does my race apply to my college application? WTF???? Oh and btw, I am white. This is like a ******* crucifix above me? SCREW RACE!!!! Remove it from transcripts. Remove it from job applications. If you want equality step up or shoe shine *****. We should not be lowering standards to meet race, that is why our education system is failing, If your race isn't up to standard then **** off.

My college professor is in his early 30s and I'm in my late teens. We are both adults. He is not married, has no kids, and is very attractive. Recently, he started gaining an interest in me and compliments me on my perfume, has asked me to go with him for coffee, has asked me out for a bite to eat, winked at me, etc.. I haven't gone out with him yet. I just told him that I'll call him when I don't have any plans. But he is very persuasive..
I've never had a boyfriend before and I don't want to get in trouble for dating him but we have this strong chemistry. Should I quit taking his classes and date him? I need this course for credit. What if dating him doesn't work out. Will he flunk me? There's too many what ifs and I don't know what to do! Help!

I believe that a claim to be a Savior, in itself, is a claim to deity since there is only one Savior - God.

What is your take on this?

"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'" Matthew 7:21-23 NIV

My boyfriend is unworthy to serve a mission. I won't go into details, I'm sure that you can guess why...

He's already gotten his call and he's leaving in four weeks. He doesn't feel guilty at all about what we do.

How can someone go against everything he's been taught and lie so blatantly? How can his converts trust him? What do I do?

I never did understand the aversion to Halloween. Is it because the Christian calender never found a holiday to off set it? Christians celebrate Christmas, made on the day of the Winter Solstice pagan holiday, and Easter for Ishtar the Babylonian goddess of fertility. The Christians, of course, changed the name of the holiday but the dates and origins are still pagan. So if you celebrate all these other holidays that's origins come from pagan holidays, why not let your children enjoy a day of candy and social interaction? Isn't it a bit hypocritical to pick and choose pagan holidays to celebrate, stating that some are holy while others unholy?

According to the Christian bible - God created the heavens and the earth in seven days. By saying God created this - then he created that, so and so forth- the bible describes in somewhat graphic detail the workings of a temporal being.
The Bible does not make any reference to God creating time. The Bible says that God created different things at different places in time. For an all-powerful being, why would God be bound by space and time? Can you do everything at once everywhere? Can anyone or anything do something or be everywhere at one time everywhere in space? No, well according to the Bible neither could God.

The other day, I asked a question to those who claim to be spritually minded. And I received answers from them as I would expect. But to my surprise, I also received answers from Athiests. Now I don't want to bash them. They are of course allowed to give their thoughts to. But? why here? After some examination, athiests are found to hang around here alot. You know I thought if I were athiests, the last place you would find me is anyplace that discusses theological thought. Why do you care enough to come here and give your input? what interest do you have in Spirituality? Maybe you are not as athiest as you say you are. During WW2 A german U boat captain once said, I have seen self proclaimed athiests forget that they are athiests when the depth chargers were being dropped on their sub. Anyway one answer that I received said, why don't I read a science book? You know what? I love reading science books. Especially astronomy. Everytime I look into space. It screams CREATOR!

omg, i just saw some christian answers, they are really so much alike us . US we i mean muslims ..
it says in their book that they will presud untill jesus comes for them.. its kinda funny how we have the same thing,but different language, its kinda funny how the bible tells them how the world ends just like the quran says it
even us we believe that jesus will come to save us too but it would be ashamed if christians didnt get help from him cause they made him son of god !!! when he isnt ..anyways its true what my christian friend told me then she said " if you focus on the basic msg of the bible u will realize that there are some missing part non sense parts , but the rest of it is cool, its like90% compelete"


anyways. just answer the Q!!
im just bored today.. JEEZ!! its so hot today i mean yallah!! its so hot today LOL !!

I have been looking, and looking, and looking, and can hardly find any extensive information on angels. If anyone has any sites or books that have such information, it would be highly appreciated. I'm especially looking for info on the fallen angels and the nephilim.

a creater of all things. What or who God is I don't know? I don't think we just die and that is it. I believe we are more than our physical body and have a soul, energy that goes on. I don't like to label myself and I don't think you have to go to some Corporate Church to believe this........so if I were to have a label for my "religion" what would It be? Just curious.

Or is the whole God concept the offshoot of some circular reasoning like if 'a'='b', then 'b'='a' and oh by the way, 'a' exists because 'a'='a'?

I was on a rant about some things that 20 yrs removed hold little importance now but at the time i was livid, she asked me why i was mad at this boy and i told her my dramatic typical 15 yr old girl drama, she smiled warmly at me and asked if i thought the hate and anger i felt was hurting this boy, and i answered no what does he care, and she said thats the point , i was only hurting myself.That always stuck with me, and to this very day i still remember her words, hate only hurts the person whos angry,not saying you should be a doormat but think about things or people religions etc that you hate, in all reality your only causing yourself pain and mental agony.when those your hating are going on about there live(now im not talking about hating things like wars and the like)mostly resentments.I hope this finds you all well who read this love and light.Oh yes the question,can you let go of your resentments without picking them back uP?
