Rewording this question, sorry for those of you who answered me already -

Something to do with the planets? I know a few of us got into the wine and leaned on each other the last couples of days.

So nice to have a group of people like this. Apparently mercury was taking us on a ride through Libra the sign of love and partners, and couples and all that stuff which left some of us missing people we have lost, and mourning our single state, and confronting liars and manipulators and searching our souls for inner strengths -

Its pretty cool we feel ok reaching out to each other. So who was singing the blues along with me and a number of others?

Are we feeling better ? I know I am feeling much better and a lot of it is the kind people here. Thank you so much

So, what is so "evil" about innocent children dressing up in costumes and going from door to door collecting candy?
Why is it "wicked" for kids to have good, happy fun?

Do you think Satan is enjoying the shouts of happy children when they get their free candy, and play their harmless pranks?
Do you think he just loves it when people open their doors and shriek in pretend terror at the ghosts, witches and hobgoblins asking for treats?
Or do you think he cringes at all the joy "his" day is generating?

Hmmmm...


I'm giving away good, wholesome chocolate to the ghosts and goblins who come to my door this evening...
I understand that ghosts, hobgoblins, and various other miniature beggars just love peanut butter cups...

i am cathloic but it seems like a cult when wou look at it from an outsiders prospective... we have a weekly gathering in which we chant, listen to and believe without question the words of an ancient book, eat flesh and drink blood, worship a man hanging from a cross and believe we are condemned to eternal punshment if we dont tell our leader everything we have done wrong. i just think is weird. i was raised catholic but i have been seriously doubting it recently. anyone else like that or am i going to hell?

Can I get all the various perspectives (1) Religious/Philosophical (2) Biological/Medical/Ethical

Here's mine:

Sperm, eggs, zygotes are all human life, NOT human beings. Human life begins at conception but a "human being"- a fully formed person with a consciouness and autonomy only happens when:

1. The soul/consiousness/mind enters the body (religious/philosophical)

2. In order for something to possess that soul/consciousness/mind it must have a fully formed brain that can support the physical processes behind thought, personality, autonomy. It must also have a fully formed nervous system and body for that soul to interact with the surrounding world.

When a person cannot support brain function and basic life function, ethically/medically, they are not considered a human being but a corpse (whether kept on life support or not).

So both spiritually and ethically, a fetus becomes a human BEING when it can survive out of the womb (unplugged from the life support).

This is an example of the kind of probability it would take for some simple form of Evolution to occur.

A complex form of Evolution like The Human Eye would be more like 100,000 monkeys trying to type War & Peace.

How mathematically probable/possible is it. There comes a point when probability is absurd and is in essence impossible. Just like the Evolution of our entire planet. It is an absurd obsolete theory.

Okay -- here at the job we had a chili cook off. Out of the 4 chili's, all received votes except one.
The person that didn't get any votes saw the paper that the votes were written on.

This person hasn't said they feel any ways about it. But I know how I'd feel. What do we say to her?? Alot of us feel bad that she didn't get votes. :-(

(Note: Her chili WASNT bad. It had a good mixture of meat, beans and rice. It tasted just like everyone else's. It's just that many people had different reasons why they chose what they chose -- for example, I HATE beans in my chili so the ones with beans did not get my vote.)

Ethiopians have distinct features which ignorant whites label as "white features" Ethiopians are the oldest Africans and it's a KNOWN FACT that human life started in Africa more specifically in Ethiopia. A lot of people like to say that Ethiopians got their keen features from the white race NO it's the other way around! If though Ethiopians actually have LIPS and whites don't.

Back when I was a Christian (I'm now an atheist), why didn't Jesus get me to stay pious? Furthermore, if God knew I would become an atheist, why didn't he take any measure to stop me? Doesn't he care if I'm saved? I prayed and prayed when I was little and my prayers were never answered.

Of course, I'm now an atheist for secular and scientific reasons, but I'm asking you from a former Christian viewpoint and I want to know your opinions on this.

A man was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess." He bent over, picked up the frog, and put it in his pocket.

The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will tell everyone how smart and brave you are and how you are my hero." The man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it, and and then put it back.

The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will be your loving companion for an entire week." The man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it, and then put it back again.

The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you for a year and do ANYTHING you want." Again the man took the frog out, smiled at it, and put it back again.

Finally, the frog asked, "What IS the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, that I'll stay with you for a year and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?"

The man said, "Look, I'm a computer programmer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog is cool."

I knew a lady who would let her kids go trick or treating. As soon as they got home, she would send them to bed. She would eat their candy. The next morning, she told her kids that the Goblins took their candy! How underhanded is that?

And its always white people who think they can use this as a way to vent out their fustrations towards Blacks.

That really makes White people in general look bad. it shouldn't but it does. The same way the world generalizes Blacks and other minorities can be done about us too. However, most Blacks do not retaliate asking obscene questions about White people. i guess they are the only ones smart enough not to waste points to put down someone. racist whites need to stop complaining and whining. Not cool!

Fundamentalist Christians, if you can't avoid logic fallacies in your arguments why should I trust your theology?

For example, I am constantly hearing fundamentalist Christians attack made-up strawman versions of the theory of evolution. When I read fallacious arguments like that I know that they did not bother to research evolution or think their argument through. Why should I expect them to have researched their theology or thought about their religion any more thoroughly?

If my lawyer used such fallacious reason I'd fire him on the spot and demand a refund.

Tonight is halloween and as Christians we need to be aware that there are going to be children and animals sacrificed to satan. I am going to be interceding for those so that lives can be saved. We as followers of Christ have the authority, through Him, to see individuals saved from death, torture and satan's plan of destruction. Jesus gave us the authority over satan and his demons and their works to destroy. Christians, will you please take the time to pray for these adults, children and animals? Thank you for your prayers of intercession, God Bless You all.

For those of you that don't know, she's a regular fixture on the Montel Williams show and is considered a "renowned" physic.

People ask her about their dead loved ones, and she describes them and says they come and visit often, right? But she also says that we all have many lives here and often tells people who they were in other lives... So here's the questions....

How can everyone who asks about their loved ones, have their "dead loved ones" around them every time they ask her, if we all have so many lives?

Is it just coincidence that the dead loved ones of every person who asks about them aren't currently in "another life"?

If we live so many lives, are we only ever surrounded by the loved ones we know from this life or from all our lives?
