The Jehovah's Witnesses believed their Jesus is "a god" ("Mighty God" only) and Jehovah, the Father, is Almighty God. They would not identify whether Jesus is a "true God" or a "false God" according to their own version of John 1:1 (New World Translation). If that is true then they are not monotheists (believers in but one God only) but polytheists (believers in many gods) like the pagan neighbours of Israel.

There's a stray cat who begs us for food, & we're not allowed any pets, but I feed it outside. My neighbor said, "Pick that up, she's not gonna eat that!" But he feeds her & sneaks her in his house. & he's bossed me around in other situations, too. & he figures that he can boss me since he's ex-military. Also, he & his guests make loud noise @ 3AM & he blasts his music & plays his horn loud. I think it's a trumpet he blows in the middle of the night, waking me up. He always tries to order me around & tell me what to do.

A couple of friends and I are working on a project for history that has to involve conflict. I being Gnostic-Christian and all of us being philosophers and religion savvy want to do it on the conflict of Gnostic-Christian VS. Catholic faiths. It can be modern or ancient times--but only one--and has to have some primary sources as well as secondary. Any good websites or anything you could give us?

You know circumcised which means that part of your skin on the family jewels is cut off.

Since some here think that R&S is not for that... Religion=prayer, I personally don't see why people have a problem with it, in fact I think we have a right to ask for prayer in a spiritual question/discussion area. I can't believe some have been removed for asking for prayer.
Shoot me a quick amen if you agree and would like either to be allowed to keep your prayer request or have a special area for that.

I am a Christian, but I would like to know why so many people who consider themselves "Christians" get so offended or worked up by people who try to prove you wrong? If you really know what you believe, then why get so deffensive?

All they want to do is get a reaction out of you... They spend so much time trying to prove that God doesn't exist... but if he didn't exist why would they try to spend so much time proving that he doesn't? Kind of a waste of time eh?

I have never once seen a real psychic who is capable of telling the future, nor do I believe it is necessarily possible, but I believe I have a 'non-spiritual' explanation for the event if it ever did, or will happen. This relies on determinism being correct, though. Perhaps a chemical reaction within the human subconscious can be so mathematically clever as to completely size up the numerical data of reality to a certain extent and is accurately able to predict the course of events before it happens. This relies on an impossibly high amount of nonverbal cues, clues, and understanding--perhaps that is what intuition is? A mathematical subconscious understanding of all the variables leading to a glimpse of knowledge about what is to come?
Anybody have any thoughts on this matter? I'd love to hear them.

I am in no way trying to offend athiests, but isn't it hard in not believing in anything? Having nothing to look forward to after death seems odd to me.

I need to know how to spell the word "Peace" in as many different languages and dialects as possible. I'm talking everything from Swahili to Arabic, Greek to Armenian, Georgian to Russian, Italian to Portuguese and all the others as well. If there is a website that can give me all these languages, that would be great. I want the different alphabets and characters too like the beautiful calligraphy of Arabic writing and even ancient Heiroglyphs if anyone knows them. Ooh and if there are any people from other planets, those too!

Green, Green Grass
And of course, the best is saved for last: A nurse was on duty in the Emergency Room, when a young woman with purple hair styled into a punk rocker Mohawk, sporting a variety of tattoos, and wearing strange clothing, entered. It was quickly determined that the patient had acute appendicitis, so she was scheduled for immediate surgery. When she was completely disrobed on the operating table, the staff noticed that her pubic hair had been dyed green, and above it there was a tattoo that read, "Keep off the grass." Once the surgery was completed, the surgeon wrote a short note on the patient's dressing, which said, "Sorry, had to mow the lawn."
