Every time I attend Mass at OLC, the Franciscan leads a Prayer for Vocations.

Are the type of guys that usually become priests instead "teaching English" in Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia?

Would the Romans do better if they eliminated girls as acolytes, thus having the Priesthood become attractive again to their traditional base?

OK, here's the deal - you're heavy into a Y!A session at work, and suddenly you feel like you need to have a poo... You're so engrossed in answering questions, that you put it off and put it off...

Finally, you reach the point where you're prairie-doggin' it, and you can't wait any longer. So you stand up, but realize that the trip to the bathroom is gonna be a close call. So - do you:

1. Do the penguin waddle in an obvious attempt to keep the poo from soiling your undies, knowing that your coworkers are gonna know what is going on?

2. Squeeze your butt cheeks real hard and try to walk normally, playing it off like nothing's happening.

3. Do a full-out sprint, pretending that you need to go retrieve an urgent document off the printer and/or fax machine.

"There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope. The death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender." The future is all around us, waiting in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future, or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born… in pain."

I am NO ONE to judge trust me.............i was wondering if maybe homosexuality was Satans or Gods way of tempting us to see if we will make the "right" choice and live heterosexually.

I just dont understand why God would have a problem with homosexuality if love is involved.

Is God going to turn homosexuals away from heaven if they love Jesus.?


please dont give me there is no God answers and blah blah blah.........that gets old after a while and its your problem.

Question: Why are Natives so bitter?

Question Details: Shouldn't we just learn to forgive the white people? After all it's not like any of you alive had anything to do with the slaughter of my ancestors, right? I am so sick of hearing this. People ask me all the time why I'm bitter. Well look at the way we're still treated to this day, and why, and you'll understand why I'm so bitter. And when people think it's funny to mock my culture by playing Cowboys and Indians, it just pisses me off even more.

(My) - Deleted Answer: Europeans decimated native people across the globe during a relative short period of time. They have never made any real restitution. The biggest criminals, were the Catholic Church, closely followed by the rest of the Christians.

I had just started reading book, called Gothic short stories, and i was so deep in the reading that i didnt' realise where I was going. I used to walk when I was reading, going around trough the grove near my grandparent's house.The story I was reading is called " the fall of house of usher" by edgar allan poe.In this story the protagonist was spending his holiday in the haouse of Usher with his friend Roderick Usher. I read: ( The protagonist is reading)

" And now the corageus Ethelred began to break down the door with his stick.As he hit the door, the wood cracked a part and the sound could be heard throughout the forrest"

At the end of this sentence I started because I thought that I heard from some remote part of tha maison a sound just like the sound described in the book. Pheraps, thought , it was just the sound of the wind, and so I continued the story...

where would you go to?

2007-10-22 01:56:11 · 13 answers · asked by Anonymous in Other - Holidays

Every once in awhile I like to go down to Las Vegas or Cancun and really have a good time. I don't want to come back feeling guilty for having fun. So, I have been granting myself what I call a "God Holiday" on these trips. When I do that I don't worry about what God would think because I'm on vacation. I just have fun and I don't feel guilty about it at all. I don't pray for forgiveness or anything.

Of course, when I get back I get right back to my usual clean and sin free life and go to church every Sunday. I just don't bring up with God those things I did on vacation. It seems to work out pretty good. And since I'm born again, I know that I'm already forgiven for all sins past, present and future. It's like an insurance policy.

So, if you have problems having real guilt free fun on vacation, try what I do. Have yourself a "God Vacation" and let what happens on vacation, stay on vacation!

When ever I see a person with a sign that says "will work for food" or something like that, I stop and give them a can or two of Budweiser that I keep stashed in the trunk of my car. They always thank me and I say "no, don't thank me, thank God".

I had one last year of my forearm, after a muscle lost its mooring. They put all of me in the tube to scan my ARM.

I'd been warned about the noise, but something Dragon said in another answer reminded me of this.

I found the noise very rhythmic, and almost fell asleep during the process, because I was hearing in my head music to go with the percussion section.

(The muscle couldn't be saved.)

Compared to a "normal" religious person ?
Is that someone who believe in creationism ? Someone who put absolute faith in his priest or imam ?
Someone who divides the world between THEM sinner and US ? Someone who believes literrally what is in the bible ?
Someone who doesnt reconciliate reality as seen by science, and the message of love/tolerance in the religious texts ?

For the believers here, how do you characterize a fanatic ?
