Some of you may be more familiar to the term "albino." A lot of people at my new school make fun of me for having this condition, what do I do??

Deuteronomy 7:9
Understand, therefore, that the Lord your God is indeed God. He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and lavishes his unfailing love on those who love him and obey his commands.

My argument: If God's love is lavished on those who love him and obey his commands, it is conditional love. Conditional love cannot be unfailing.

I know this is just another flagging of a contradiction to show the ridiculousness of fundamentalism, but I am interested to know from those here who believe in God, do you think His love is conditional or unconditional?

I am more inclined to believe people who claim to be demon possessed, or have been told my religious folks that they are or once were demon possessed just simply had some mental disorder, chemical imballance or mental Ilness. I am a Christian also. Do you actually think demon possession happens?

Some people asked earlier about what a R&S get together would look like. Now I would like to ask: if there were an R&S convention, who would you like to see lecture? What classes would the R&S regulars teach? If just one person were to be elected to represent a religion/belief system, who would that be for Christian, Pagan, atheist, Islam, Wiccan etc?

Late one night, a burglar broke into a house that he thought was empty. He tiptoed through the living room but suddenly he froze in his tracks when he heard a loud voice say: "Jesus is watching you!"

Silence returned to the house, so the burglar crept forward again. "Jesus is watching you," the voice boomed again.

The burglar stopped dead again. He was frightened. Frantically, he looked all around. In a dark corner, he spotted a bird cage and in the cage was a parrot.

He asked the parrot: "Was that you who said Jesus is watching me?" "Yes", said the parrot.

The burglar breathed a sigh of relief, then he asked the parrot: "What's your name?"

"Clarence," said the bird.

"That's a dumb name for a parrot," sneered the burglar. "What idiot named you Clarence?"

The parrot said, "The same idiot who named the Rottweiller Jesus."

When I first saw the Landover Baptist Church website, I was fooled for a few minutes before clueing into the satire. Then, when I was later introduced to the Westboro Baptist Church, I thought for sure it was a similar satire. My heart cried for our species when I found out it wasn't.

Anyone else mistake serious websites for satirical ones?

Firstly, let's clear up the myth that Tourette's is uncontrolled swearing. That's just one form of it. But it is the form I wish to discuss here. It came up in a discussion last night, and I asked why this form of Tourette's manifests itself in the form of profanity specifically, and not just any random words. A mate of mine said that he thinks it's a sign of demonic posession. I replied that being an atheist I prefer to look for more rational explanations, but I have to confess to you good people and true, I am buggered if I have the slightest idea what that rational explanation might be.

Anyone care to have a crack at this one? Why swearing specifically, and not just random words?

I just flicked on my porch lite for the trick or treaters here. I have lived here for 5 yrs and never get a kid at my door. I think maybe its because my kids are now grown and we dont know any of the neighborhood ghosts and gobblins.
When my kids were little, we had hundreds of trick or treaters. How can I get them to come to the house? I miss seeing them

This happened to a someone here off my contacts list...

A poster here over a weekend a while back kept leaving cryptic messages on the boards, they would contain things such as "I'm stuck and I don't know where I am" and "Help me!" aditional details were only that it was dark where he was, and people kept demanding 'drinks!' from him.
Everybody thought he was making a lame joke but,
his posts became increasingly scary and intense...my friend emailed the guy and asked him if he was alright (not having a nervous break down or anything lol) he did not reply, this was on the Sunday.

On monday morning, my friend recieved an email from the guys boss, Eliot Watchaski, saying that their friend had died, and they were very sorry to inform them.

but here's the creepy part...

The coroner placed the time of death... on THAT PREVIOUS FRIDAY!
Aparently, he was always the first guy in, and the last to leave, and nobody had noticed his body all weekend.

Why do people talk about the different divisions of Christianity being Catholic and Protestant, but I don't hear people talk about Orthodox?
The Orthodox were around before the Protestants.
