When talking about countries which pronouns do you use? like "J'aime __ Espagne" or "Je vais __ Espagne" or " J'était __ Espagne" or "Je revient __ Espagne" or just in the general sense for each verb.

I am trying to get over my fear. There are people that have certain hair and skin coloring which make me think of a vampire.
I'm not scared of black people. Im not even scared of very very dark people with dark hair such as orange colored mexicans.
Im only scared of dark haired people with kind of olive or light olive skin because of the color contrast. These people invariably have a mouth and full lips which in my nightmares could possible suck blood from me, and paralyze me while they are doing it. It has evolved from my fear of manekkins when I was very small to now this.
Please dont mistake that I am a racist. It has nothing to do with race. If the person only dyed their hair dark it doesn't affect me. I can tell the difference between a person with natural dark hair and a person who dyed their hair dark. The natural dark haired ones scare me.
In order to get over my fear, should I try and dye my hair? Does anyone actually think it would work?

Why are churches threatened by it? Don't they know that if you have too much of anything...you tire of it, and move on?

To forbid it seems to me, to be counter-productive.

Am I wrong?

This question was asked and sooo many of the answers are how its wrong to push our beliefs on others. How many times have you had beliefs pushed on you by others, really?

It seems to be we are at the point where if anyone dares to try to share or talk about their religion with anyone then they are being pushy.

The topic of religion comes up a lot in casual conversation. Missionaries of all religions are out sharing their message. Who cares. If you dont want to hear it cant you just say no thank you and walk away.
Is someone asking you a question or talking about their religion to you really soooo offensive?

Paul’s influence on Christianity has been a big one perhaps even more then Jesus (Pbuh).
Paul said that you cannot be justified by the law of Moses:
"Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that BELIEVE are JUSTIFIED from all things, from which ye COULD NOT BE JUSTIFIED BY THE LAW OF MOSES." [Acts 13:38-39]
Here Paul tells the Christians that they cannot be justified by the law of Moses let us see what the master says
"And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, WHY CALLEST THOU ME GOOD? there is none good but one, that is, God: BUT IF THOU WILT ENTER INTO LIFE, KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS." [Matthew 19:16 1)

Dear readers. If some Jehovah's Witness response here has been chosen as the "best answer" it does not mean they are already correct in their doctrine. We just don't know how many Jehovah's Witness are participating in this Yahoo! Answers. But please do not just accept their response. Search for yourself whether what I am asking is really valid or not. Search the old Watchtower and Awake! magazines. Check the old JW literatures so you will know that they truly are contradicting their own major doctrines. Many young and old JW people died because they taught many years ago that immunization is wrong when all of a sudden change their view about it. Many young & old JW people died due to their refusal to allow blood transfusion just because of the faulty interpretation of the Governing Body taught about it. But what if the Governing Body lifted this ban after 50 yrs and started changing their view? Can they just say sorry for that father or mother who's little child just died? Think!

2012 is the year that the Mayans predicted would be the transition from the current astrological age (Pisces) to the new one (Aquarius). It has nothing to do with the end of the world. Their long calandar is an astrological time keeping device.

If God is omnipresent, everywhere and everything, it is logical that ever aspect of life and the Universe is God. Or that God is present within every aspect of the universe. Perhaps our souls tap into a higher power and project this "life force" as a "God", whether it be Ra, Poseidon, Jesus, a Tree or whatever guides us towards spiritual enlightenment and or harmony.
