(Note: I do understand that this Book is a work of Complete Fiction!!!)

In the Book "The DaVinci Code" by Dan Brown, he states that Leonardo DaVinci Was a Pagan, not a Christian and that he painted Christian influenced art for the money (Starving artist and all...) and that he incorperated pagan symbology into most of his Christian paintings.

I was wondering if there is a shred of truth in Dan Brown's Claims?

Thank Your!

My son is in preschool with 26 children. I'd like to send small gifts in for the children, but am stuck on what to get. I mean, even if I only spend $2 per kid, I'm already up to $52. Then, he has 8 teachers and aides there and he has 5 therapists that he sees once a week that I'd also like to get gifts AND his 3 bus drivers always get him something so I'd like to get them something in return. (My son is autistic and that is why he comes in contact with so many people each day/ week.) Okay, so now the count is up to 26 kids and 16 adults. What can I get them that won't run me broke?

Alright, I'm in a spiritual tug-of-war and I'm ripping myself apart. Half of me wants to stay Christian/Baptist because it's been drilled into my head for years and I don't want to let my family down. But then the other half of me has been wanting to convert to Wiccan for a very long time because I feel more connected to the religion and it really speaks to me. but if I do convert then my parents could find out and I'd be screwed, not to mention that my grandmother would be devistated if she found out (she's a really religious person). I don't know what to do and I really need some help.

Right on the table......Should I call the police next time when this happens?
Or

I don't know. For about a year I have been struggling with doubts that God is real or if he's not and all and it's been really hard. But I don't wanna go to hell. It's so weird, just I don't wanna go to hell but at the same time am struggling? I don't know, just it's almost like in my heart I know He's there and all but at the same time I'm doubting it. I really want to stop and just know God is there and get over this because I really wanna go to Heaven, but at the same time it's like I'm doubting the whole thing with all of these questions, help! Does this mean I'm going to hell? i really don't want to and i want to change but i need help please and i really don't wanna talk to other people about this. this is all soo hard to explain and i've seen stuff happen before that i'm like i know he's there but at other time i'm not sure, what's going on?

Alright, let's just forget about the Jewish/Christian/Islamic god for a moment.

If you were going out on a date, what God (or Goddess) would you most like to go out with? Who would be the most fun? Who would pick up the tab and let you order the lobster? Who would make you just a little bit better as a person before the night was out?

Okay...forget the stupid song. What if God turned himself into a human, just to see what it felt like, but then forgot to give himself the power to change back?

Wouldn't that explain a whole lot?

Sure...why not. Major religions have been doing it for years. My one friend swears there should be a god for hot-dogs that have been just a bit too long on the seven-11 cooker to make them extra delicious.

If you were going to make your own god, what would they be like? What would they look like? What would they have influence over?

Muslim countries tend to require women from other countries to cover up when visiting in the Muslim country.
I’ve heard that even American service women in Muslim countries are required to cover up when they are off base/off duty.

So Americans follow those countries wishes, so why do Muslims go ballistic in America when they are asked to uncover for certain reasons? Like when a woman was stopped by a police officer in Florida and asked to uncover her face to be identified and everyone flipped out at the audacity he had to ask her to do such a thing.

What gives?

i went from a christian school to a public school. at the christian school i learned alot about God, but the problem is now that im at public school, my friends dont know God. they always curse, and do wrong things in front of me, but EVERYONE does it. am i suppose to stand up in a crowd of people and say, "you all need Jesus"

or what to do?

i mean, i definetly dont want to go to heaven and have God say, "This person went to hell becuase he never knew the word of God and you, Ava could have taught it to him"

i will feel horrible if someone goes to hell becuase of me. o and some of these people....i specifically asked "Do you love God" some of them said yes, and some said "hell no"

Tons of people come here and pull out bits and pieces of scriptures to say that God condemns gay people and catholics and everybody who thinks different but they only use the parts of the Bible they want. Right there in Psalm 14:1, I found it. "There is no God." Aint that as plain as day?

If they can pick the parts of the Bible they want to use, can I do the same thing to prove my political agenda is from God? (Who the Bible says in Ps. 14:1 doesn't exist...)

When you and your spouse tied the knot, how did you merge traditions? I don't mean going to his family for Thanksgiving and yours for Christmas, but as in the way you do things in your own house.

When is the tree put up? Do you open one gift Christmas Eve? Especially for those that merged faiths, how did you do it? I have a friend who has a blue/silver Jewish kitchen and a red/green Christmas tree-filled living room. On the traditions that you disagreed with, did one of you win out or did you merely merge them into your own tradition?

I just saw a story on TV about how many families refuse that the organs of the deceased would be used to save someone else's life, on religious reasons. However, they didn't state those reasons. What are those reasons, and wich religions forbit that?
