I say almost everything that comes to my mind without thinking it over, and other people understand me in the wrong way.

Please give me creative ways to say that my boss is unavailable without lying. Many people know that his office is directly behind me and I can turn my chair and see if he's in the office or not. Oftentimes, he wants me to say that he's not in the office. I don't make a practice of lying and I'm not going to lie for this man just because he wants to avoid people. Which is something he also likes to do a lot of. It's ridiculous.

for those who don't know me, i'm a witch and have been for many years. i have raised my children with pagan beliefs but also with knowledge of other religions so they're free to chose their own path.

i had this dream the other night that my daughter was killed. i was devastated. a few days later (in the dream) the phone rang and it was my daughter! i couldn't believe it! i asked where she was. she said she was in heaven!!! i was so happy to hear her voice. i asked her a few questions about it. i asked what god actually thought about non christians. she said that she got into heaven because god doesn't care what religion you are, but wether you're a good person or not. apparently there wasn't such thing as hell either. if you're good you go to heaven, and if you're not, you don't, you just cease to exist when you die

she also gave me a toll free number to use when i want to talk to her.

so, christians and non christians, what do you think about that?

Do you currently have Health Insurance?
Do you have it from your employer or personally?
Do you get it through your spouse?
Why do you support Nationalized Healthcare?
Why do you oppose it?

Please answer which apply. I realize this does not have anything to do with R&S, but I want opinions from persons in this category to get an idea what these groups think.

I hear people talk so badly about "non-Christians" and "Mormons," ect. What's it to you if someone is Mormon--does it hurt you? How do you determine that Mormons are not Christians--did your pastor tell you that so you are spreading the news?

Why would Christ allow the Spanish to be ruled by Muslims for 781 years? Why would Christ allow Martin Luther and Henry VIII to murder Catholics throughout Europe, create the Puritan fanaticism, create the American, French, English, Irish, Russian, German Revolutions, and the political climate of the 1930s?

And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the Lord, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands, then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the Lord's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering. . . . And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child; . . . And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed." (Judges 11:30-39)
This doesn't sit well with a Just and Loving god picture!

I mean, knowing that they are exceedingly investment savvy, why would the christian catholics hang onto 30 year maturity-date bonds if god was going to come-a-calling them in the near future? Should we begin worrying about this "rapture" thing when they start converting all of their multi-billion dollar term deposits into cash?

It seems like whenever someone says something against homosexuality, they are deemed homophobic, which basically is explained as : if you don't like homosexual activity then you are homophobic, and you are homophobic because you don't like homosexual activity, and because of your bias against homosexual activity, all your opinions concerning homosexuality have no merit because they are based on a fear.

My question is: if that is true, then is the converse true as well? meaning that if I grant card blanche to homosexual activity just on the basis alone that it is homosexual activity, and don't criticize any aspect of it, am I also practicing a homophobia?

I ask this because I see two ends of a spectrum here, one that opposes the behavior of these people in all respects and thereby voices opposition to it, versus the other end of the spectrum that grants a pass to all activities engaged in by these people by never opposing the behavior of said group.

What's your opinion?
