Just wondering; He also said that life was nothing to wish upon an animal.

Is he right?

Your lips say "I forgive," but your heart cries out for vengeance: don't you know that you are mocking God by word and deed and are falling under the verdict of devine justice according to which "God is not mocked"? Come to your senses, people and forgive so that you can boldly say the Our Father or, if you choose not to forgive, know that you are unworthy of this prayer. There is no middle ground.

Once again, I have read numerous posts saying what "Christians" believe and don't believe, and most of them by protestants (who somehow think the name "Christian" is theirs alone). My questions is: How can you say what Christians believe? Here are some simple facts:

The total number of Christians in the world is: 2.1 billion. This is how it breaks down:

1) Catholics: 1.4 billion
2) Eastern Orthodox: 0.3 billion
3) Protestansts (Baptists, Lutherans, etc. etc): 0.4 billion

In light of these statistics, how can a group that represents about 21% percent of Christians say what Christians believe? And, more than that, among themselves they argue endlessly because that 21% is divided into hundreds of "denominations" who all disagree on doctrines. Yet they claim that the Holy Spirit guides them when they read the Scriptures as they argue. The arrogance is stupifying. Again, I really would like to hear someone try to answer this question.

I desperately need to seek advice on what I can do to eliminate my life of evil spirits and witchcraft/brujeria I feel has been placed on me.

In this year I got divorced , got re-married and recently lost my job after being re-married for two months.

What scares me is that my ex-wifes family is from South America and my ex-wife told me when we were married that her mother belives in "white magic", this entire year I have felt as if my ex-wife who is a bitter ***** along with her mother might have me under a spell of some sort inorder to ruin my happiness along with my life. I am scared b/c things keep happening in my life that are bringing me down and hurting my new marriage and I can only think that my ex-wife and her mom have something "spiritually" to do with it.

I know I probably sound crazy but I need to know what should I do? I keep applying for jobs and dont even get call backs, then when I interview for jobs the employers arent impressed by me and I cant explain why

I'm 17 years old and started an excerise and fitness college course just over a month ago. I'm getting horrible remarks because i'm not able to keep up with the practical work (excercise). I'm a recovering anorexic, my BMI is still classed as 'underweight'. Although i've put on a lot of weight since i've got better, and getting nearer to the 'average' mark, it's left me with a lot of health problems and has damaged my insides. So I find cardio work very hard. I often have to step to one side, and the girls make snide comments that i'm lazy, and moan to my tutor that she's letting me get away without doing any work. I'm pretty sure my tutor thinks i'm lazy too. My tutor and classmates dont know about my 'condition', and I don't want to tell them because i'm trying to move on. I go out running everyday at my own pace so I can gradually get fitter, so i'm trying my best. But no one sees it that way. What should I do about the critism i'm getting?

This is what I dont understand. There are simple absolutes in this world right? Not everything is relative. Things exsist like people, trees, water, plants and so on. These are truths that can not be changed because they simply just are and there is no other way to go around it there is only one truth and that is they exsist.
So here is my real question.... What makes God so different than the things He created? (That is if you beleive in a creator) What makes people think that there isnt just one truth for Him as well. A way of life for His creation to live by and walk daily in. Why is that so hard to beileve?

Sometimes, when watching EWTN my wife bows before the TV. But I tell her she should only bow when the Holy Father is on TV. I don't know which is right.

Wouldn't a good religious/spiritual person want to fight the rule of Satan to the death? I believe the fight begins within, we must conquer the evil within us (I.e. greed, hatred & delusion), before we can hope to help others and truely battle evil.

Who's with me? We can win this!

Do you respond by actually talking about an event of your day?
Is it ok to say that your day was bad?
Is it always necessary to ask how they are?
Or should I/we just stick with 'nothin' or not much?

[Caveat: As the sign says above - this is to those folks who believe in multiple gods. So its inclusive of many who describe themselves as Pagans, but exclusive of the Two Great Superpowers of R&S.

So i'd ask the Superpowers of both camps to kindly leave us Third Worlders in our state of peace and overlook this question.]

How would you define a Divinity or something Divine? Are there any characteristics that would make such a thing noticeable?

And what is Divine to you personally?
