I'm pretty sure it's religious symbolism. Is anyone familiar with anything in the Bible about Gilead?

Does being molested make you a target for other predators ? I feel like at times I have attracted people that want to violate me all over again.I was at school and this guy started talking to me like buddy buddy stuff and after a few months of that he made some joke and as if we were buddies he gently shoved me and then grabbed my breast, still laughing as if it was " just a joke ". Is there a spiritual curse or something that comes with being molested that brings incidents like this ? Is there a verse that says this ? (( Im still wondering where it says its ok for a guy to just grab my breast also...i was so shocked I just walked away. it hurt so bad it was like he was trying to molest and hurt me at the same time )).

My daughter is one of two people at her high school who "dresses dark". Her reason for doing this is because it's the style she feels best suits her personality. She does not believe in God, either, but she doesn't go around forcing her views on others. However, if people ask her whether she believes in God, she does tell them she's Agnostic. Niether does she iworship the devil, however, as some folks would think by seeing how she dresses. She is a very unaggressive person and really just wants to to be liked. However, she has always been "diffferent", and feels she has never fit in with the popular groups in school. She really has no close friends except her "on-line friends" but she is very sweet and honest and makes good grades.

Now, some girls are harassing her at school. They call her by a name they have given her, not her name. This is disrespectful. They call out her name over and over, when they see her between classes, and mock her. What should she do?

How does one define praying "hard." Is it the length of the prayer? How much one concentrates? Which prayer you choose?

Are prayers quantitative, or qualitative? In other words, if I casually recite a dozen different prayers over and over all day, is it the same or more effective than a single prayer recited with 100% focus and intensity?

If I think about praying for someone in trouble all day long, but at the end of the day I fall asleep from exhaustion before I pray, did my sincere desire to want to pray for that person count in god's eyes (since god knows all?)

How about if I record myself reciting a prayer, and then just click a mouse button to play it back at the end of the day while I'm brushing my teeth (you know, multi-tasking)

If I can't remember the correct prayer for a certain event, can I just sincerely recite one that I know by heart (example: saying grace at a funeral?)

One of my favorite plays/movies is Inherit The Wind in which a man is put on trial for teaching evolution in an community that has found it unlawful to teach anything that goes against divine creation. Of course the prosecution has an absolute christian on their side and the defense has somewhat of an agnostic
on their side. But anyway the prosecution's front man dies in the end and the agnostic at the very end takes the bible and Darwin's origin of species and puts them together and walks out of the court room. Of course symbolizing that both could possibly coexist. So what I wanna know is it could it actually happen where evolution and creationism could coexist in the real world.
