The following quote is from the book, The Odyssey.


Now Ithaca lies low, furthest up the sealine toward the darkness, but those others face the dawning and the sun: a rugged isle, but a good nurse of noble youths; and for myself I can see nought beside sweeter than a man's own country. Verily Calypso, the fair goddess, would fain have kept me with her in her hollow caves, longing to have me for her lord; and likewise too, guileful Circe of Aia, would have stayed me in her halls, longing to have me for her lord. But never did they prevail upon my heart within my breast. So surely is there nought sweeter than a man's own country and his parents, even though he dwell far off in a rich home, in a strange land, away from them that begat him. But come, let me tell thee too of the troubles of my journeying, which Zeus laid on me as I came from Troy.

No selfish reasons of course.

There are plenty of reason to do something, but what are your reasons not to do something that is not considered selfish or self absorbing.

The cross with a circle is not a Catholic symbol - it is a pagan symbol denoting the zodiac. Do you think imacatholic2 has any idea where he's plagiarizing from?

And Christians and others please give us the courtesy of NOT answering this question, because you don't know the right answer.

And no, its not the sign of Satan. Remember we dont believe in your made up monster...he belongs to you guys not us.

Does anyone know a Catholic saint for stillborn babies, the death of a baby, or the death of a brother/sibling? I would prefer that they be female, but anything is appreciated.

Atheists 1st claim there is no evidence for creation. Then when you give them evidence they say the evidence is biased. There is no such thing as unbiased humans since every human has emotions. Do atheists stop watching big media news since they are liberal biased?

If they are truly in the pursuit of truth they will test the evidence or examine it themselves. Didn't science once say the world was flat and pseudo science say it was round? Just because a science is not accepted by the majority doesn't make it automaticly error.

When I found out the catholic church was withholding truth I left the catholic church, but that doesn't mean I reject everything the catholic church says. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

As a christian I have decided I will not pigeon hole my beliefs to one denomination, but I look for truth in every denomination.

I have been sure of bisexuality for quite some time now, but now I'm not quite sure. I am romantically attracted to both sexes, sexually attracted to only males.

What can you make of this?

Psalm 2 (New International Version)


Psalm 2
1 Why do the nations conspire
and the peoples plot in vain?

2 The kings of the earth take their stand
and the rulers gather together
against the LORD
and against his Anointed One. [b]

3 "Let us break their chains," they say,
"and throw off their fetters."

4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.

5 Then he rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,

6 "I have installed my King [c]
on Zion, my holy hill."

7 I will proclaim the decree of the LORD :
He said to me, "You are my Son [d] ;
today I have become your Father. [e]

8 Ask of me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.

9 You will rule them with an iron scepter [f] ;
you will dash them to pieces like pottery

Following my question the other day, I asked: "Why do Christians feel that they are so sure that they are getting into Heaven?" and the recurring answer I kept getting was: "You only have to believe in God and Jesus to be accepted into Heaven"

Hang on....... Does that mean that Adolf Hitler is in Heaven? He was a Christian. What about all these serial killers that have believed in god? Are they there too? The KKK was a Christian organization, have all the former Klan members gone to Heaven?

If that is what Heaven is like, it doesn't sound like a very nice place.

There is only one link that seperates us from them. Just because they are evolutionary challenged, why should they have less rights as the rest of us. Or do they have the same rights? Can our cousins vote, and can they find fair legal representation? If on a safari, someone accidentially hits and kills one of our cousins. Is the unfortunately victim considered road kill, or can murder charges be brought up against the driver?

In some parts of the world our cousins are allowed to roam free, why not here in the US?

This is kind of of an odd question but I was wondering if God acts this way.
If I asked for something that I needed would God say,"I will only give that to you if you quit doing a certain sin"
Like if I asked for a new job but God says,"I will do that for you if you just quit lying."

- I dont want any God isnt real answers to filter my email

that some people who believe in a god or gods (perticularly Christians) used to be Atheist?

I see many Atheists on this forum not accecpting the possibility that it could be true.

Do people of faith not accecpt that many Atheists used to have a faith?

For the Atheists who doubt, what is your reasoning behind your doubt?

When its election time, I work real hard to find out about the candidate(s) and what they stand for. I see them in person where questions can be raised. I try to do my research, and I still make mistakes. Has honesty flown the coop?

i think absoulelty NOT. i think you SHOULD be able too!!! i speaks spanish even though i have nothing in my blood that is spanish. what does "United States" mean to you? we are united states that means that we are united and we can speak, act, use the cultures we want. yes the dominate language is english but if you look around to other countries many of their population knows more than just ONE language. some americans are too lazy to learn it. we are united! we are not "goody two shoes" in the north america. i think america thinks they are pretty good, self centered and thinks that no other countries can do this, this, or this and we can do this, this and this and we are still the best. i think that is a bunch of bull****!!! we are NOT the best, we are united as one! now days some people think that im so good because of this and your not. etc. anyhow, what do you think?

My favorite is the pamphlet by Dr. Haegler that tried to be scientific about why we should all go to church on Sunday and refrain from work and fun. He said that during a day's work a laborer expends more oxygen than he can inhale and that we need a day like Sunday to catch up...what better way to do that than spend it in church?

If so, then why do you think God would want people to know him through faith instead of through plain observation or science?

It seems to be a consensus among theists that God wants people to know him and worship him. But wouldn't that be a lot easier if you could just see God in plain sight, visit him where he lives or demonstrate his existence with a simple experiment? By making faith the way through which people know him, God would alienate those who don't think faith is a reliable path to truth, and why would God want to do that?

It talks in the Bible about being saved and practicing the word of God. Why is it when I go to church they don't talk about being saved? Isn't church suppose to follow the Bible?
