If I was an eskimo during the Great Flood, I could just carve a cave along the side of the iceberg. Bingo! instant shelter from wind, and rain. Actually, all I'd need to do is stretch a seal skin ceiling across a few logs, or blocks of ice and I'd have a rain proof shelter.

There's plenty of fresh water for drinking (after it stopped raining for 40 days i could melt ice). Plenty of fish in the ocean to eat. Survivability seems quite possible in this case. In addition, huge icebergs take years to melt, even in the hot sun.

Your thoughts?

Im just wondering if anyone of you believe that our 4 founding fathers were part of a freemason ideology. According to sylvia browne, many secret societies have formed over centuries and now effect our every lives. It doesn't take a psychic to know that bush and his damn father were trying or are trying to create a new world order. Im getting sick of hearing people saying that we conspiracists are delusional and blame everything on others. I wanna know if theres any sorta anti-secret society out there that are dedicated to exploiting the truth about these societies including skulls and bones. One day we are going to march to the white house and demand the truth. Or were just going to take it by any means. DO NOT VOTE. BOYCOTT ELECTION. LEt NADER WIN. at least hes honest.

has anyone ever done that thing where you point your face towards the floor and see how far you can let your spit drop before sucking it back up.If you get a good one it usually flips back up on the end of your nose,or in rare cases,in your eye.

As a full blooded Cherokee, I'd like to think I am just as American as anyone or more so. I have however noticed that whites will often say to someone of another race: "go back to Africa, or mexico, or wherever" and I can't help but wonder how they can think that way. All races and colors helped to make the US what it is and I don't understand this "It's really our world and country and we're just letting you live in it." type thinking I see from many but not all whites. They always refer to "tolerating" something. Whether it be Black names or a culture different from theirs, I always hear the word tolerate. The real word should be APPRECIATE.

I've been really sad this week... perhaps most today:
- i really don't know what God wants from me.
- all i prayed for today was to win for once....and i lost
- what does God want me to do?
- how do I even know if my career choice is what God wants from me?
- how do i know He even cares anymore? :(

Advice please from wise Christians??? :(

The rich young ruler called Jesus "Good Teacher," and Jesus rebuked him saying, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but God."

Was Jesus denying that he was God to the young ruler? Jehovah's Witnesses think so. "Jesus was saying that no one is good as God is, not even Jesus Himself. God is good in a way that separates him from Jesus" (Should you believe in Trinity? 1989, 17 )

Look to the east in the eye of the storm, you will see a beginning and a new life form.
The age of repentance will soon descend, take shelter where you can, this is the end.

What are you beliefs ?

Whats the difference between christian churches like baptist, morman, and AOG ?

2007-11-03 15:38:49 · 12 answers · asked by Anonymous in Religion & Spirituality

but yet still choose to follow their own religion, which also has fantastical tendencies??
I mean, like Christianity, for example, having a huge following. Parting a sea? Being beamed up (to heaven) in a golden ray of light?? Does this not scream at people in todays world? I mean, I realise that people in the dark ages might have seen these things and thought there must be some all knowing being that can do magical stuff.. But then why persecute those others who seem to be able to do things too, and burn them as witches? Why laugh at, or minimise other people who believe in aliens?
Why go on mass killing sprees, (long ago), and kill anyone who doesnt believe, as heretics? How does someone say things like "murder is wrong, but if you believe something different than me, I will kill you"?
In todays world, why do people believe so strongly, and so easily, in a story, which in any other context, could be put in a childrens fairytale book?

Every time I come on here, I think of a poem, "The Cold Within" and how it relates to this section. It's saddening that this poem describes this area so well. I had started coming here to share my knowledge and to learn about other religions and points of views. Instead, All I see is hatred.

For those that don't know the poem "The Cold Within", it's about six people, huddled around a fire in the middle of winter. Each has a stick that can cause the fire to burn longer, but none give up their stick for selfish reasons. You have racism (one won't because another is black, and he won't because another is white), religion and economic status.

So, would you give up your stick to help light the fire if you were in the circle, or would you hold back because a Christian/Athiest/other belief was sitting across from you? Would you be burned by the cold within?
