Hi, sorry for the one millionth costume idea question.. but I have this tutu, and I want to wear it but I'm not sure what I'd actually BE other than a Spanish Ballerina.

It kind of looks like this - http://www.angeliqueminiatures.co.uk/pagesclea/descleacarmen.htm
Except I'm a real person and not a doll.. I do wish I were that skinny though! (kidding)


I was thinking a pirate? Any other ideas?

I don't understand why some people think bisexuality is a "phase" a person goes through.

I DO see why bisexuals are thought of as easy and constantly on the hunt, but that isn't everyone that is bi... it could be said for any sexual being, but that is never brought up (look at any meat market for straights LOL).

Why do people feel bisexuals cannot have long lasting relationships?

In the prophecy of Daniel there are 3 days mentioned.
1) 1290 2) 1335 3) 2300
If we take Tuesday, September 11, 2001 as Anchor Point.
Tuesday, September 11, 2001 + 1290 = Thursday, March 24, 2005
+1335 = Sunday, May 08, 2005
+2300 = Saturday, December 29, 2007

Though I see significant events in these days. I am not able to decide, Why September 11, 2001should be as anchor Point. Can anybody show the reason why or Why not
September 11, 2001 should be taken as anchor point.

Why is there an upside down cross on the popes chair?
I thought that the upside down cross is a satanic symbol.

This is a question it seems not many people understood when I asked them. Are all people who cannot hear lose the ability to talk, or can someone be deaf while retaining their voice (or the other way around)?

Why did he take away his strenght? It was not his fault that his hair was cut short. It certainly is not a sin to fall in love and trust a girl.

Christianity is all about the scapegoat idea, so why not just use a balloon scapegoat and get on with your life, a better life without the baggage...your thoughts?

Convert them to what you think is right? An atheist who doesn't attack anyone's faith, for example - should Christians (or other religious people) try to convert them?

AND A religious person of any faith, who does not attack atheists -should they be ?

Why, why not?

I know many people DO try to push beliefs on others. But this question is regarding people who don't.

Many say that Catholics don't follow the Bible or even read it,
yet we were the first to put the bible together, our Mass is based on the teachings of the Bible

All Bibles came from the Catholic Bible with less books,

So how can you say we do not follow the Bible when we have the original?

Most of the questions and answers about christianity are by non-believers. And there is so much emotion tied up in this subject. Why aren't they asking more questions about buddhism, or islam, or hinduism? I really want some real answers as to why you can't just let it go, if you KNOW that there is nothing to it?

Someone asks you a question in polite conversation. Your honest answer is clearly different than the asker expects. For instance, a distant relative says something like "Aren't you happy to be able to stay home with the kids?" when you're simply at home after losing your job.

Or a family friend asks "Is it good to be back in Vermont after all those years away for college?" when living in Vermont is your absolute worst case scenario ever and you're ready to rob banks to get money to move away.

Or some well-intentioned soul says "You look great. You've lost so much weight. What's your secret?" when the reason for your weight loss is a serious health problem.

How do you handle such situations tactfully? Is it better to lie to make people comfortable? Or to tell some gentle version of the truth?

I've heard many different opinions in what a soul is. What is yours? Does everyone have a soul? Can your soul be changed?

Okay I have been confuesed about this. I'll try my best to explain.
Okay so people arent supposed to sin but then i read books and stuff that always say well god forgives you, if he didnt then the cross wouldnt mean what it does, and that it means all our sins are forgiven. So what does that mean i can just sin my heart out and expect to get into heaven?? ----I dont think that,its just how they make it sound to me.

also i dunno if it says this in the bible but I was taught that God already plans out our life.. so every sin I committ, he had planned? so is it really a sin?
