I now believe that god is giving us secret messages in our dreams. I am making a dream diary to keep track of my dreams.

Should i also write down my nightmares? I get too scared of them and i'm not sure if i should. My last nightmare i had was about Freddy Krueger chasing me.

If someone tells us we are sick, we can make ourselves sick believing it. Can a person not behave like a "demonic entity" if he is told enough that he is inhabited by said entity?

How can a person not believe in something? To say everything on this earth happened by one big coincidence after another is not feasible to me. I’m not saying that one religion is better then another or that one is right and another is wrong, but there has to be “something”, whatever “it” may be that is guiding us to our ultimate destiny whatever “it” is.

I try to be polite, but it has been happening so frequently recently that I feel like I should give some substantial reply as to why I find some of their beliefs objectionable. Perhaps I should put up a sign, or prepare a pamphlet of my own to give them when they give me theirs.

Thanks for your replies.

Seems like for Atheists it isn't too important but for Christians (maybe other Theistic religions too?) it does seem important.

What holiday traditions does your family have? Either that your parents passed on to you or that you and your family has started. One thing that my family does every year is the Friday after Thanksgiving we go out and pick a Christmas tree for the local tree farm and then we come home and we turn on Christmas music and decorate the tree and our house and we make Christmas cookies that day too. We don't have really any Christmas eve traditions which makes me sad. And we don't go caroling.
So what does your family do? And what are your favorite Xmas treat recipes?
Thanks and everyone enjoy the holidays!

I have. Here are a couple lines:
HOW LONG I HAVE WANTED
THIS DREAM TO COME TRUE
AND AS IT APPROACHES
I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M THROUGH
I'VE TRIED,
OH, HOW I'VE TRIED
FOR A LIFE, YES A LIFE
I THOUGHT I KNEW

OH IT'S THE PRICE WE GOTTA PAY
AND ALL THE GAMES WE GOTTA PLAY
MAKES ME WONDER IF IT'S WORTH IT TO CARRY ON
'CAUSE IT'S A GAME WE GOTTA LOSE,
THOUGH IT'S A LIFE WE GOTTA CHOOSE
AND THE PRICE IS OUR OWN LIFE UNTIL IT'S DONE.
It's definately worth it, and the games can be fun, but the price remains the same. Care to share yours?

Just checking if there's any misunderstanding to Jesus follower the meaning of Lord and G-d, translated to English or other local language from the original, and the original perception as well

Are there any bible verses speaking about giving glory to god with ones talents, such as art, etc. Having a hard time finding any verses that speak of artistic talents or such as gifts from god. Thanks.

Art should not only be consumed by intellectuals with money.
A more artistic society is a more refined society.

What comfort would an atheist or agnostic give to someone who was about to die soon? Is there anything less frightening than just dying and becoming worm food?
