Is it possible for the power of prayer to work and cease all evil?

Could praying for Satan's return to God and his ability to repent for his wrongdoing result in all evil ending and the "Garden of Even" being re-established (metaphorically speaking)?

Of all things for them to complain about, don't you think racism should be the last? Some are so intent on being a victim too. They also have the lamest reasons.

Many complain about things out of ignorance like Affirmative Action. First of all, it doesn't help, black people are still denied jobs on account of their race 80% more than accepted for one because of their race. Some white people also complain about BET and demand a WET channel. Since when did every other single channel on the entire television not have a white person in every frame? Come on.

White people control everything and put themselves everywhere. If you aren't white you're interest are last to be filled. I can't think of one actually offensive white stereotype. Accept the small you know what one. What legitimate reasons do white have to complain about racism? I have yet to see one. I believe they are just in denial and refuse to accept the fact that the White Privilege exists.

I realized that some people, especially students, try to use "F" words in their conversation. Are they unwell-educated? Do we need to use slangs in our conversation? How to keep our language proper and fresh?

...who is now in Hell because he didn't accept Jesus as his Lord and savior. "Love the sinner, hate the sin" are the words of a non-Christian. So why do so many Christians use this quote?

I went to bed around midnight, but woke up around 3am. Curtains were closed. My room was dark. No any lamp or light source was on. It couldn't be a reflection. I was laying on my bed and I saw that yellow light was shining in one of the shelf's of my bookcase in the middle of darkness. I left my bed and walked towards it to take a closer look what's going on knowing that there is no any light source on my shelf.

The light was like yellow bulb light (not very strong light) and it didn't had any form. It was shining like a candle on the square shaped shelf, not leaving a shadow anywhere on the shelf. When I turned the room ceiling light on it did disappear. I tested if it would come back if I turn lights off again, but it had gone. The light didn't move around, it just stayed still. I got pretty close to it and I saw that there was nothing extraordinary on the shelf except the light.

This really freaks me out since I don't want to sleep in a same room with this unexplained light.

Did the Gospel writers add the stories in of Jesus great power to heal people as proof that he was the Messiah and not some prophet. Is this true?

The winds favor flight
As day turns to night.
Dragons & Basilisk, knights & cheerleaders, dancers & riders,
sword welders & such,
So come claim your place, I ask not too much.
The chickens are gone, I am sorry to say
Maybe they got lost in some body's hay.
Burp!
The field is open & sky is clear
So lets go ridin' my friends so dear.

Pastors and youth pastors tell their following that evolution and carbon dating is wrong & from the devil?

I know it would be lying... but it would make faith so much easier, hence more people would spend eternity and heaven!

I want to get a straight answer because many fundamentalists seem to ridicule the theory. Is it because you were told it was wrong or because you would rather believe a book of fiction than scientific evidence.

I have a friend named Glenda and of course she loves witches (as in Glenda the good witch in Wiz of OZ). For me there's just something about Pumpkins and the onset of Autumn and going on into Halloween JackoLanterns that's exciting to me. How about you?

the pastors say you have to pray and ask Jesus to forgive you. But if I haven't done that yet, am I a Christian? or is that part mandatory.

Can the Clan prove itself to be the peaceful and loving folk that we call ourselves?
Who echoes that we forgive those that would harm us and welcome them back without prejudice?
Can harmony not run through our world again?
Would we not have those amongst who once sought to destroy us - surely it was exclusion in the first place that made this division.
What say the clan?
And Dragons - sheath you claws and know serene thoughts for the consideration of the question - please!

Just because you can't prove there is a God, doesn't mean there isn't one.

Look at it this way, you CAN'T prove there ISN'T one. When you think about how complex life is, the burden of proof is on the atheists.

What do you think?

Was it that God didn't want to do it with a girl who had original sin, or God (as Jesus) didn't want his mother to have original sin? Why did this sinless lineage start with Mary instead of Mary's mom, or just start with Jesus?

Is it learned in the upbringing (comes naturally), or as a submissive to an older dominatrice, or does not come as a choice of behaviour?

I've had long discussions with very well educated "men of the cloth" both catholic and noncatholic about the subject of literal interpretation of the bible. I find it interesting that the those at the top in the various organized christian religions believe the earth is 6 billion years old, that the bible is allegorical. Many devout priests and pastors will tell you that their congregations and flocks and parishes or what ever --simply would falter in their faith if these questions were discussed. Does it make you mad to know that many in the religious community don't think you are intellectually capable of assimilating those ideas and remaining faithful?

I just recently converted to Jediism...and already have a Master Jedi set up to teach my young Padwans the ways of the Force.

I'm in the process of converting my home into a Jedi Temple.

My question is...how do I go about requesting a tax exempt status, by the government, on my home, since it is now considered a place of worship?

All serious answers would be appreciated. If you're answers, in any way, insult the Order of the Jedi, please don't bother posting one.

Thanks....:)

I know this is a bit of a long shot, but I'm trying to trace back this misconception to its starting point or points, or at least understand a little more about the memetic spread among creationists.

Life is:
"Leaving the house in the morning, dressed in clothes that you bought on credit for work, driving through the traffic in a car that you are still paying for, in order to get to the job that you hate but need so badly so that you can pay for the clothes, car and the house that you leave empty the whole day, in order to live in it"
