Better start buying lottery tickets, by the dozens. American lottery pays large sums. But you are taxed on it. If I win I pay, for everyone to get to the venue, and it would be a pleasure!
Yep we are all special!!!???

It happened to me once when I was in college and living at home. I went up into the woods to do a simple Wiccan-style ritual, burning sage, waving my athame about, and someone saw me. I went home, not realizing I was seen, and the cops showed up on my front door. I explained to them what I was doing, and they just rolled their eyes and walked away. Freaked my parents out, though.

Anything like this ever happen to you?

It is historical fact that Nero started to pursecute Christians around 60 ad. This would mean that according to you most of the books were not composed yet, but rather tales created just a few years before. If this were true, why would the authors or creaters of the tale have allowed themselves and their friends to die for a big lie? Obviously they weren't getting rich off of it and if it was a joke a lot of people were in fact being killed? Why would they have allowed the lie to continue? Couldn't the originial authors or tale creators get together and stop it?

Isn't the human body the greatest work of art on the planet? It's the only thing that's truly OURS in this life. Why does a breast have to be censored? A BREAST! The symbol of maternity! Why do genitals get censored? Why isn't a penis treated like any other body part e.g. the finger? What makes us so ashamed when we are nude? I just don't get it. I think it has something to do with religious beliefs that say that the body is a tool of carnal pleasure and we should cover it up as much as possible. Pah-lease!! People who claim that, i'm sorry to say, have primitive beliefs... I also think it's wrong that many peole closely associate the nude human body with perversion and pornography and find it right to censor and hide it. Censoring your body is censoring who you are.

I need serious help and would really appreciate serious answers.
My family has been hit hard with serious illness and the housing crash. It looks like were heading for financial doom. How can I make the holidays nice, when everyone is feeling so down? I'm pretty unhappy myself, but I'm willing to try because I want more than anything for my daughter (16) to be happy. Got any ideas?

Years ago I was a hardcore Christian. When I was a young teenager I started to have doubts, and it ate at me more than anything you could imagine. I would kneel on the side of my bed every night and pray for an hour at a time, begging God to help me stop having doubts. I would cry and look to the sky and make myself sick over it. I did this every...single...night for over a year. I meant every word of my prayers, and at the end of that year I was so torn up over it that I was contemplating suicide because of my doubts.

I never got anything. No signs, no circumstances to make my fading belief bounce back, no miracle (big or small)...Nothing.

Not long after I was going through that torture I decided to pull myself together. I learned the term agnostic. I declared myself that, though I continued to pray just in case.

Still no answers.

If God exists, why didn't he let me know? I've always been told that no answer means no, so that's how I took it.

Abraham's visit to Egypt was only for the freedom of Hagar (Hajira - The Pilgrim ). She really was a sacred Pilgrim who migrated from Egypt to Palestine (Kenan) and thereafter to Mecca - the Holiest place on the earth.

The writers of Torah intentioally degraded her as slave-girl / Handmate and could not save them from the racial discrimination which they had for Ishmael and his descendants.

She beloged to Semitic tribes namely "Haksos" who ruled Egypt untill 2740 BC when Abraham migrated from ( UR ) Babylon.

The reason given in Torah for the visit of Egypt is "heavy drought" in Palestine but it is not justifiable since rest of the family members ( approx. 80 persons ) were left on the mercy of drought and only Sahah was taken to Egypt! Why!!

Torah can never answer this question because it was " the will of god".

Sarah never talked with God or Angels whereas Hajira ( Hagar )was directly talked by Angels and God and she was assured of her protection in the desert!

I was just wondering. I just have not heard of any Queen or King to have a surname. Perhaps they just don't have one. Many thanks.
