do you just forget about all your sins after you've prayed and/or confessed?
thinking that somehow your sins will be forgiven and you can very well just get away with all of them since you already asked forgiveness?

I have been experiencing Christians throughout my life and I have heard lots of stuff from them.

They go around searching for victims to join their evil cult as a daily basis.

One time I saw a Christian trying to convince a Buddhist to convert and I heard the Christian lie with both of my ears.
She said "You know even the great Galieo was a Christian too." Whatever.

Now all in a sudden there is this new trend of Christians calling themselves "Born again Christian"!

How come you never called yourself a born again Christian before and all in a sudden you start calling yourself that?

Do you Christians think that you are cool by calling yourself that?
Is it some kind of a fashion for you?

To me you sound like an idiot Christians!

Born again Christian HaHa!
As calling yourself a Christian wasn't pathetic enough!
ROFLOL!!

I have been a Christian all my life, but found that after many years, my heart isn't in it. i felt guilty for leaving Christianity, and was comfortable in Wicca, but after looking at Wicca online sites, and all the many terms, I feel so swamped with info, I am about to forget it all and just stay a no-religion person! When I was into Wicca, a solitary practitioner, I was happy, till a group of Christians came to my door and told me I was going to hell, then I reverted back to Christianity out of guilt. Well, I also didn't have the memory problems I do now, because of a bad thyroid, and so i am intimidated by all the terms, and symbols, I see on some of the sites. I started with Silver raven wolf's book, and that was all i did. I'm not young, I 'm 40, and in need of help on this. I do not want to be part of a coven, just want to familiarize myself with Wicca again. The reason I left Christianity is because the answers I got from the ?'s i asked, were not to my satisfaction.Help!!

I grew up in Kerouacs home town. I talked to and worked for some of the bar owners and bartenders who knew him. I used to drink once in a while with Fr. Spike.. So I heard some good and bad stories.
As time goes by his real life story seems to grow larger somehow and gets entangled with his fictional characters. Is this the prossess of an American folktale of an American hero in the making? A fusion of what was and what we want it to have been?

According to Emily Post, the nation's foremost authority on etiquette, tipping for carryout orders is not necessary. The reason being is that restaurants determine their prices on the cost of dining in. When you pay for an item, you are paying for the rent, employees wages, plates and overhead. But when you carry out food, you are not receiving any of those benefits although you have paid for it. Therefore, an additional tip is not recommended according to EmilyPost. There are exceptions of course but the general rule still stands. After all, do we tip at Subway? The person not only takes the order, but he makes the sandwhich, packages it and often rings you up. But we don't tip him? I understand a waitress takes time away from her tables to take your order, but that's all she does. The server simply puts the pre-boxed food in a sack w/napkins and condiments. Hardly seems like that's worth 10%

"Now when evening came David arose from his bed and walked around on the roof of the king's house, and from the roof he saw a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful in appearance. So David sent and inquired about the woman. And one said, 'Is this not Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?' And David sent messengers and took her, and when she came to him, he lay with her; and when she had purified herself from her uncleanness, she returned to her house. And the woman conceived, and she sent and told David, and said, 'I am pregnant.'"
2 Samuel 11:1-5
This is outrageous. In it we find nudity, covetousness, forced sex and illegitimate pregnancy. No one in their right mind would expose their children to these disgusting activities, and yet we can find even more despicable sexual activity if we look a bit further.

This is a serious question. Alot of people live with fears but one thing I have always noticed in the bible was Jesus would say fear not. The angels said fear not when they would visit. So I want to know if Christians are living fearfully of something.

Is it a thought, a behavior, or a feeling? Is it taught, or is it instinct? Is it an affliction, or a cure? What are your thoughts?

Is Wiccan a religion?
What do they actually believe in?

From what I heard, its just a fancy word for people who believe in magic, and witches, and all that stuff.

What is your first impression of someone when you find out they smoke? Are you neutral or prejudiced about them? Do you form judgements about their character? What if they are a good person, does it matter that they smoke?

a black man from Texas wrote this...

When I born, I BL ACK,
When I grow up, I BLACK,

When I go in sun, I BLACK,

When I cold, I BLACK,

When I scared, I BLACK,

When I sick, I BLACK,

And when I die, I still BLACK.



You white folks....

When you born, you PINK,

When you grow up, you WHITE,

When you go in sun, you RED,

When you cold, you BLUE,

When you scared, you YELLOW,

When you sick, you GREEN,

When you bruised, you PURPLE ,

And when you die, you GRAY.



So who you callin' colored folks?!

blood to have eternal life? And why did He say "Unless you become as a child you cannot enter heaven?" Why did he tell us to be believe and be baptised? Why did he tell us to obey his commandments? why did he tell us to become holy? It seems as tho' there is alot of to do things in order to enter life eternal.

It was a board game with little plastic disciples for players, and when you landed on certain spaces you had to look up a Bible verse. Anyone know where I could get one now?

What is the oldest religion that has survived to this day? I am thinking either Zoroastrianism (sp?) or Hinduism but I am not exactly sure.

Also, when did the prophet Zoroaster live?
