Over the years I have known several individuals and families who were very much involved with the Catholic church. Along with indirectly worshiping the pope, I remember they always had pictures of Christ in their homes and churches that always showed Jesus as a white guy with brown hair and blue eyes. According to the bible and other history resources they say Jesus was of Middle Eastern descent. I was just wondering why the Catholic church makes him look like Al from that show "Home Improvement".

People always tell a person who wants to consider plastic surgery or feels ugly to "accept how God made you". Unfortunatelly people are treated different based on appearance. Does that mean that God choose whom he wanted to be ugly or are they ugly because of the parent's genes? Does God actually make a baby's body?

Anyone else familiar with and a little creeped out by the growing commercial entity known as Life Church? Check out this site to see how quickly it has grown. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LifeChurch.tv
You have to see it to believe it. One moved into my town not long ago and I was blown away with the commercialism of it. Everything is over the top and gaudy, not Godly. Huge building, spot lights, flyers, even their logo is commercial. It's a little scary and It feels like a cult in the making to me. Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with it.

I was reading a recent question by a Christian regarding God and His existance.....someone stated they would rather go to Hell than worship the God of the Bible......Why would anyone want to go to Hell???....I ask because that makes no sense to me.

I have to go to a library to do "community service" hours and there is one guy, very sweet, nice, and friendly...

He was saying that he KNOWS there are real vampires and that he has been "drinking" since he was 6... He said his wife has gotten his blood because he was bleeding and his words were "she attacked" him because she wanted to "get to his blood"...

Now he was serious and it was like normal conversation, the way he was speaking... if that makes any sense... not like he was trying to "scare"

He is gothic-ish and has mentioned being Pagan a few times...

What is this about? I have never met anyone like this... It doesn't freak me out I am just really confused about him... he seems normal but he says things that blow my mind.

Is he joking or are there really people who do this kind of thing? I mean he doesn't have anyone to impress at the library as it is mostly kids there and he is in his 20's. He is actually really, really good with the kids. He isn't all that odd.

We have all been in rooms
We cannot die in, and they are odd places, and sad.
Often Indians are standing eagle-armed on hills

In the sunrise open wide to the Great Spirit
Or gliding in canoes or cattle are browsing on the walls
Far away gazing down with the eyes of our children

Not far away or there are men driving
The last railspike, which has turned
Gold in their hands. Gigantic forepleasure lives

Among such scenes, and we are alone with it
At last. There is always some weeping
Between us and someone is always checking

A wrist watch by the bed to see how much
Longer we have left. Nothing can come
Of this nothing can come

Of us: of me with my grim techniques
Or you who have sealed your womb
With a ring of convulsive rubber:

Although we come together,
Nothing will come of us. But we would not give
It up, for death is beaten

By praying Indians by distant cows historical
Hammers by hazardous meetings that bridge
A continent. One could never die here

Never die never die
While crying. My lover, my dear one
I will see you next week

When I'm in town. I will call you
If I can. Please get hold of Please don't
Oh God, Please don't any more I can't bear... Listen:

We have done it again we are
Still living. Sit up and smile,
God bless you. Guilt is magical.

I am. People who get it usually have poor self esteem and hate the way they look. But plastic surgery usually makes them look worst. look at Michael Jackson for example. People should learn to love what makes them different. Whats your opinion??
