Does one wait for an invitation to meet the baby? We've been friends since high school, but never the kind of friends who just drop by. When would it be appropiate to go see them?

Doesn't there have to be a purgatory? i mean how many of us die having 0 sin......very few. and if we had sin God wouldnt say "here's the pearly gates come in."...He would probably say" woah woah...u can't bring sin into a perfect place." Dont you think you need to be cleansed of ALL your sins before entering heaven? Peace

How much do you pay a stripper for a visit when she is working the stage? When I say visit, I mean the little show they do for you while on stage for about thirty seconds. Is it to my best interest to tip more per visit or tip the same amount per visit.

There's a video posted on the front page of Yahoo today talking about the recent wiccan lotto winner who is building a school. For those of you who watched, what did you think?

Personally, I think it is a wonderful idea, especially since they aim to teach many forms of belief and magic.

On the other hand, I thought that the fact that the video called Mr. Bartlett's school a "Real-life Hogwarts" was slightly offensive. Real witchcraft has little to do with Harry Potter and calling his school a "Real-life Hogwarts" makes a mockery of it.

Surely when the so-called flood came how come only Noah and his family survived with their boat, didnt anyone else have a boat or canoe, or even a raft, couldnt someone have even clung onto a log for a week? I mean c'mon.. people have lived that long in the ocean when they have fallen off a ship, the bible really has a lot of fairytales in it hey? It just doesnt make sense.

One of my friends was jumped; stabbed several times in the chest and leg, because she's bisexual.

Another friend of mine was told that his father will disown him if he "decides" to be gay.

A Wikipedia article once stated that "they should be burned at the stake," within the Bisexuality article.

In most areas, gays are called names, beaten up, and treated as if they're "less" than everyone else.

Most gay people I know are constantly lectured, and told they're going to Hell.


So, please--tell me; WHY THE HELL would someone "choose" to be gay!?

In Genesis Chapter one God said........
"Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

Now the interesting thing that I found was that God used the word "us" so he was speaking in a plural form. Now being Christian it seems like it would mean God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Since Jews and Muslims believe in just One God not the son or the holy spirit. Why do they believe God would say "us".
No one would say to themselves let us go to the store....it wouldnt make sense. anyways..... Peace =)

I am interested in finding others who have also been given this special gift. I would like to understand more of why I was given this gift. From my readings, they say there is a connection to divine love. During the near-death experience, I went to the light and experienced a love so great one here on Earth could not imagine such a great love unless they also had a near-death experience. I have also found that miracles seem to be happening. I did not realize that when I went to the hospital after the near-death experience what kind of sign language I was doing. One of the nurses on the floor with unique features said to me: "Oh, you're doing the sign language mudra." Later when I saw the same nurse at her desk, I said that I wanted to learn more about the mudra. She responded that she had never talked to me about them. I have also found that I can do some automatic writing when I ask a question and hold a pen loosely, letters will be formed making words. They often are blessings.

And if you are a man caught having sex with a man, how can you say you are not gay?
Does gay mean something else to conservatives?

I believe that God wants us all to have peace in our lives, but there are people out there who test our spirits. The world is full of cold, mean-hearted and unhappy people. As the saying goes, kill them with kindness...has anyone stuck to this belief and if so can you share your experiences.

having both places make God just. i mean if you followed him your whole life while someone cursed him and lived a selfish life. does he deserve heaven. Plus some people hate God period and dont want to be around him.
