In the question I asked before I do not feel that I made myself clear enough which why some seemed not to get fully what I meant.

Firstly, I am a pagan so share the view that what you give out you get back however do not agree that there is a specified number of times. As for example some believe in the law of three etc. Also, in regards to magic I am not saying that all forms of magic is acceptable and that advice shouldn't be given to those thinking of doing things that are harmful. Of course if a person asks a question regarding using magic to make someone fall in love with them I would myself discourage them from doing so. However I would not give my religious view as I feel that it would be trying to influence them as oppossed to actually explaining why it would be wrong.

Is this any clearer?

Surely more people feel this way. Are there any organized groups or associations that actively "preach" this idea?

go into the mythology and folklore section when they don't believe any of it, then post answers berating the question, saying none of it is true? Same in religion and spirituality. Debate is fine, but why would you answer a question someone's asked about a dream, telling them it means nothing? Clearly the asker thinks it does means something and is looking for help to understand it. Negative, cynical answers take the fun out of YA.

I had heard about ten years ago or more that Jesus was expected to return just after the millenium. How many people are expecting him to return in their own lifetime and if he doesn't return, will you still have as much faith in him while you are laying in your death bed?

when it clearly states in every book that no one should attach themselves to so called hinduism ?

Its explained in the VEDAS that no one should attach themselves to it, even the word HINDU is given by the arab invaders,

It never asks us to seperate ourselves by giving the teaching a name for it, it teaches us to be human ?

I mean attaching yourself to a certain section of community only causes separation

Im a hindu but im not a hindu for others

More and more people no longer send out Christmas cards, which is sad. I always took the weeks between Thanksgiving and early December to write out cards with personal notes in them. As I think back, I also used to send cards to certain people for Thanksgiving, Easter, and birthdays. For some reason, I seem to have stopped doing that over the years. I still do the Christmas card thing, though. Do you send cards and for what reason? Do you just sign your name or do you take the time to actually write personalized notes?

I was talking to someone at a science church here my neighborhood and she mentioned a very good point.

Why is it that when people are 'gifted' with some sort of ESP (telepathy, clairvoyance, etc.) that it scares them to death even mention it to their desendents who inherited it from them?

I'm friendly, charismatic and calm.
I am 24, and have a 3y/o, 20m/o and 16w/o
They are such well behaved, pleasent little girls.
It's been hard to make friends. My neighborhood wants to keep themselves to themselves. So last year i got my two oldest into our churches Mother's Day Out Program. It's small and humble and they really enjoy going.
But i see i'm getting looked down upon. Yes, i'm young and i'm slender in build, people tend to question if i am the mother of all 3 because i'm peptite and when i say yes, they can get argumentative. I make jokes out of it so not to seem uppity or change the subject quickly and that hasen't worked. I took my 20m/o to MDO last week and smiled at everyone, said hi, how are you and could not believe that i got snubbed by everyone.
If i keep my head down, i get funy looks, i say hi and smile, i get funny looks.
I'm in Texas and this is new compared to the constant friendliness i have seen. I just want a social life again.

war and the murder of innocent civilians?

No where in the Gospel can I find where Jesus justified war or murder. He did say a lot against it though.

Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God.

You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.'[g] 39But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. 41If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor[h] and hate your enemy.' 44But I tell you: Love your enemies[i] and pray for those who persecute you, 45that you may be sons of your Father

Are you someone who NEVER blows their nose in public?

Can you really say you have free will?
Are not some things detirmined?

You certainly can't choose intelligence, or we'd all choose to be geniouses who don't have to study to get A's.

You can't choose your preferences, (I like chocolate ice cream, I can't make vanilla taste better to me...)

I will concede that we have choices, but those choices are detirmined by our brains, and our brains are a function of our entire life at the point we make the choice....so it's already primed for a particular choice...it just hasn't been made yet.

Can anyone give me a better definition of free will? and/or can anyone argue that any of this is not sound? I'd love to hear from you, thanks...

A toilet was made with a seat so it should therefore be always left down. It looks much better when you walk into a bathroom and see a seat down. Men should get their acts together and respect women in the bathrooms

I'm not fond of Americans - Just hearing their accent is enough to make me vomit and I loathe everything that is "The American Dream".

I hate their way of life, their consumption of everything natural, the fact they have to Super Size everything and generally, that they exist - Except for a few underdeveloped countries, I beleive Americans are the worst, most self-centered suck up, mindless lemmings on the face of this earth.

Does anyone else feel the same? Reasons?

Feel free to slate me, but if you do, with reasons please.

Late one night at the insane asylum, one inmate shouted, "I am Napoleon!"

Another patient asked, "How do you know?"

The first inmate said, "Because God told me!"

Just then, a voice from another room shouted, "I did NOT!"

;-) Just a little joke to make you smile.

Hello.. :)

Why must we continue to report abuse..

Have you ever gotten to know the people, you are reporting?

Have you ever taken the time, to chat with them?

Have you set the example, of forgiving one another?

Or are you just letting your difference in beliefs control your heart?

The above is said with ~Love~ but sadness in my heart.. :(

With ~Love~ your "Friend" In Christ.. :)

"they are a threat to our way of life"...they as in Muslims and Islam...Then, for them to invade Muslim states ILLEGALY and force their OWN way of life on the Muslim people???
What do people say about that??..is this liberty??
What is their way of life???...no culture, they degrade women in using them as sexual commodities, exploitation, no moral values, disrespect, drug culture, alcohol addiction, gambling addiction, pornography...if this is what im seeing as an everyday way of life...then no thank you.

I know this isnt a normal way of life, alot of peop,e in the West are decent people, but generally speaking all of the above is now norm in society and a way of life...any comments??
