It is my opinion that if a person chooses to smoke which is their right (of course only to the pursuit of happiness), then they should all be rounded up and not allowed to smoke except in one designated building with no ventilation, so all of the smoke stays in the building and unless they pledge to not smoke they must remain in that building breathing only smoke for the rest of their lives. Of course, that is only our (non-smokers) fantasy, but sounds good doesn't it?

I am 27 weeks pregnant, although most people tell me I look as if I'm about to burst.

On a DAILY basis, I get all the usual comments pregnant women with large bellies tend to receive:

1. Are you having twins?
2. Triplets?
3. They must have your due date all wrong!
4. D**n, you're huge!
5. Is that a watermelon hidden in your shirt?
Etc.

A month ago, while registering for my deliver at the hospital, FIVE nurses;/staff asked if I was there to give birth! Shouldn't they know better, dealing with pregnant women daily?

The first half of my pregnancy, I lost 16 pounds, due to Hyperemesis Gravidarum (extreme morning sickness), and recently have caught up to my pre-pregnancy weight but have yet to actually gain ANY weight. It seems like the rest of my body fat went straight to my belly!

What should I say in response to all the rude comments I receive daily? I've been just "grinning & bearing it" and trying to be as nice as possible, but it's wearing thin.

I am a brokn shell, onthis harsh earth in which I dwell.
I sail thru life in my own hell, from my own soul I sin so well.
It's hard for me to love myself so cought up in self hate and death. So how can one such as He truly love me 'til His last breath.
Oh, My Lord I pray to thee, for a I know in my heart the pain you see.
Which weeps so soundlessly, so desperatly in need. On bended knee eyes wide shut so open please hear my pleas.
My lonlyness consumes me likea fire consumes it's fuel. Slowly, ever so slowly, until the darkness is like a tomb.
My sorrow sinks to depth unknown, please don't keep this soul so all alone. bring me home, bring me home. To the heaven above where the garden has grown.
from my struggles I'm a broken shell, am I the cause of me own hell. I can't tell because I feel I've failed until a mission as placed in the path in which i dwell.
I stop fighting and I cease to struggle. There is no more pain for God has done away with all my trouble.

I'm thinking about the ancient greeks. When the christians took over europe and burned the library at Alexandria, western civilization was set back 1000 years. In fact, it was the rediscovery of ancient greek texts that set off the enlightenment, which religion fought vicously all the way.

Are we in danger of another "dark ages" (which I think would be better called "the age of christianity")? These are people's core beliefs. If people can believe in fairy tales, can they be led to believe anything, no matter how delusional?

Should the government should actively fight delusional thinking by people? Should schools teach athieism, to counter-act the teachings recieved by churches?

What happened to respect? I think people dont respect our elderly people because we as Americans has lost control of our children? We stopped teaching our children how to love and how to listen and respect eachother....Our Elders have so much wisdom to give to us if only we would give them our time,love and respect. they are the foundation of this once great country..whom we have taken out our Heavenly Father, and the love of God, and our Elders.....

Does this video frighten you?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKUoxbR9mwA

Just remember, these are the "moderate" Muslims who are living in the UK.

While this video may have some bias, I still wonder about the future of Europe? What will happen to my Christian relatives if THEY take over?

And why are they preaching death against Europe?

Because someone drew little immature cartoons about Islam.

Do YOU support the bombing of Denmark?

...it's been driving me NUTS for months! I had it on 8 track tape, it was in the late 70's. It was on the Book of Acts and started out:
"The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach" just like the book of Acts does.

It had a song I think called "On the Road to Emaus" and many others. I have asked MANY people and have been looking for it and no one can tell me what it was called or where to find it.
I think it was called something like "Firefall" or something of the sort, but I am desperately trying to locate a copy. Any one have any ideas?

When I was a child, I was awaken on night by a Dark shadow with red eyes. The more affraid I became the darker my room got. Then, when it became pitch black, the spirit attacked me clawing at my flesh. I desperatly screamed out, "Jesus, Please Help Me!" The spirit tried to cover my mouth, Then, I seen a figure of a man as bright as the sun. My room became illuminated like it was day. The figure of light said in a loud voice, "Leave from this place now!" and pointed to the window. Then the shadow leaped out the window and they both disapeared. I was NOT dreaming or on drugs. I have no History of mental illness

does it scare you that some people are so focused on what happens after death that they neglect the life that they have been given?
i don't mean to point any fingers at christianity, but it is the other belief system that i'm most familiar with. i know there are probably those among my fellow pagans that are too focused on it as well.
it seems like saying things like "this isn't my home," "this life doesn't matter, eternity does," "everything will be made whole after death," "this is just a learning experience," etc, is a cop out. it is an excuse to not do anything to make things better. it sometimes seems like people are lusting after death...
you are entitled to your firm beliefs, but no one has any actual proof about what happens after death. so do you think that it has become too easy to squander the life we have been given by focusing on what comes after and forgetting that what we do here does matter?

Was it a physical experience or a more mental experience. Or do you just believe in what you have been taught. and what made you realize that god is not a myth.
