*ONLY adults can answer this question*

Its strange, because when I was a kid & someone asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I could give a WHOLE list full of rambling with no shame ;)
but now, when people asked, "What kind of things do you want for Christmas?"
(because they say they want some ideal of what to get me)
I automatically feel pressured. I rather buy my loved ones, presents. I don't mind getting presents, but I just have that "awkward" feeling when someone asks me.

i love the lord but i don't know what denomination i am because i don't know the differences between them. every time i ask someone they ether don't know or they only point out the flaws in the other denominations and take the offencive as if its them against all the others. as a result i always fell I'm being recruited instead of getting a clear understanding of the differences. is there any one who can give me a truthful non-bi-est answer?

What did he mean by 'suffering'? And while we're on that subject, can I ask not to be prayed for, please? Especially if there's suffering involved? Thanks.

I found this site (www.templeofsumer.org) on Sumerism, and it talks about everyone having a "personal god" that intercedes on their behalf to the greater gods. So I was wondering if anyone here was a Sumerian, and if so, how they chose their personal god.

Peace!

What's your general opinion on each religion? Yes religion because that is what each is?

What do you think? Satanism-I'm referring to Anton Lavey.

I am a MtF transsexual who was raised in a religious home.

I have been asking Him for an answer to this question, but I haven't received any answer that would explain why He put a womans' soul in a male body. With all the torment I've lived through, I've been told that if I continue I will go to hell when I die. As I see it, I am living in hell while trying to work through my transition trying to correct this "birth defect."

Arrogant answers will be reported!

You say that because there are trees, computers, whatever, then that proves there is a god.

Explain that one. I want to hear the whole line of thinking.

I'm interested to hear from people who were made to worship against their will when they were children or teens.
If so, how did you parents get you to comply? What are your thoughts about it now? Do you still practice the same religion or have your beliefs changed?

Holding responsibility and calling for he death of a teacher for that name sound a bit extreme? I'm sick and tired of this and other actions created by insane people. I'm at the point of wanting to take action myself. Are there others out there that feel as I do?

Anyone remember this 'prophecy' from the Damien movies?

When the Jews return to Zion
And a comet fills the sky
And the Holy Roman Empire rises
Then You and I must die.
From the eternal sea he rises,
Creating armies on either shore,
Turning man against his brother
'Til man exists no more.

Does this prophecy really exist in the bible? How much it has actually happened? Is any part of it true?

Why can't Catholic priests marry? I was told it is because of purity issues, but what was the original reason? It became a rule during the Nicene Convention, but why exactly did they do this? Any feedback would be welcome.
