Well, I was going to sell my soul on ebay, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. So, is there anyone that would like to buy it? I'm willing to pay for the shipping and handling. If you do decide to buy my soul, here's what you'll get:

(1) A mason jar in which I plan to bottle my soul into.
(2) A document of authenticity for my soul.
(3) If you want, you we can make a contract after you decide you want to buy, (but before you pay) so you can have it in writing that my soul has been entitled to you for time and all eternity, for you to do whatever you want with it.

Well, that's the package. Start bidding people!!!

the seers "who's powers come from evil sources." i have heard so many christians say that psychics powers come from the devil and yet those christians who claim to be prophets and receive revelations from God dont give people godly revelation to replace the guidnce that they are getting from psychics. why dont they provide an alternative instead of just condeming psychic practices? How many christians have you heard of setting up a stand or starting a website for giving supernatural guidance to individuals?

I was upset and at the same time embarrased that one of my co-workers would put down her own race to the opposite race. I am african-american and so is she. There are nine employees in my department, and three of us are african-american. The rest are caucasian.

Our department's year end party is scheduled for next week and they are taking us to an expensive and ritzy place. We are all standing around talking about it today, and my co-worker said "I dont' like going to them fancy places where the food is all fancy. Just give me some good ole' country food and I'll be fine. You know black people don't like that kind of fancy stuff. I'm one black person that don't".

I wanted to interrupt her and say "Speak for yourself". Me and my husband RARELY go to ritzy places. Maybe once every year if that. But we do eat out quite a bit and know what good food is. I personally like food that is presented well. She sounded so ignorant when she said that.

1) lust
2)gluttony
3)greed
4)sloth
5)wrath
6)envy
7)pride.
not being a religious person i could never figure out why they are called the 7 deadly sins. i guess i would mainly be guilty of sloth, if that means lazy. i have been in lust, often overeat, have been envious, and angry, have wanted more, and whats wrong with being proud? no lectures please, just asking the question.

I am alcoholic. trying to maintain sobriety. couple slips but getting better. I want to give my wife the security and support that a husband should. She divorced me last year because I didnt meet her emotional needs. she wasnt looking but someone came into her life and and met her needs. a reward from God she thought. I told her it was a test. She said she failed then. I moved on missing her terribly. 4mo later she told me of her mistake. promissed all and would never quit again. 4 mo and filed again. My love and respect for her has grown with every problem we have overcome. I love her unconditionaly. She says she loves me truly but cant risk my possible relapse and her security. Is divorce the only option for her or is it an excuse to leave because her feelings of love for me have changed?

In My live by Bill Clinton he said that people always ask him why he isn't a catholic, and they say he acts like one. What are the core political and social beliefs of catholics. Also what are some generalizations you can make about them? ONLY good things, not bad.

I am hearing more about people being offended by hearing "Merry Christmas" as oppose to "Happy Holidays".... they holiday is called Christmas... and it is celebrated by Christians... That is our right, is to celebrate our religous holidays... I think that if someone does not want to call it "Christmas", then they should not celebrate this holiday and go to work on the 25th.

Does someone saying "Merry Christmas" REALLY offend anyone?

My little boy goes to school with a girl whose mom has MS. She has a very hard time just walking through the parking lot to take her little girl inside. Now that it is cold and icy where we live, I have noticed that they are not at school as much. I am assuming it is because it is hard to get around when the weather isn't cooperative. Should I offer to help her? She has been to my house with her kids before, so you could say we are "friendly", but it's a very light relationship. We just chit chat and so on. Would I be over-stepping? Should I just mind my own business? It is just in my nature to want to help but the last thing I want to do it offend her. I watch her STRUGGLE daily, and I am so ready and able to help her. What would YOU do??Thanks for you input!

Are there any scriptural or Bible references that brings up this aspect of limitedness of Jesus Christ, perhaps like the meaning of Vigraha or Idol representing the Unlimited in a limited way.. with a theme Is and Beyond..

Or is it, the limitedness of Jesus with particular body and its shape is entirely different from an Unlimited Father / God ie unfathomable ..

What are your thoughts in this regard ?

...find that strange? It seems like those that really believe in a path to Heaven and not Hell shouldn't be okay with their loved ones not being on that path.

Sure, some don't REALLY believe in Heaven and Hell, but it seems many do, and yet many of THEM are live-and-let-live types (the coolest among them IMO).

But it's crazy to me that they are just fine with the idea (in their minds) that their nonbelieving friends will burn in hellfire literally forever, while they envision themselves living in perfect bliss.

FYI: This does NOT mean you should start proselytizing - that is definitely much more annoying, (but at least it shows some empathy, however patronizing...)

I borrowed a book from my friend, all about every single different religion. I read through them all, because I've never gone to church, never had a religion, and I wanted to know where I fell into place. I found that I'm agnostic. For anyone who doesn't know what that is, basically I think we don't know anything about god and never will, so I'm just assuming he exists. I don't believe in the bible.

I just wanted to know where other people stand on this.

Do you believe in god? Why or why not? What is your religion? Do you believe the bible? Go to church? Believe in Hell? Heaven?

I'm curious.

1. God is perfectly loving.
2. God is all-knowing and all powerful.
3. There is terrible and unnecessary evil in this world.

Only 2 of the above conditions can be true. Therefore, there are 2 possible conclusions:
1. God is not perfectly good/loving.
2. God does not exist.

P.S. When I talk about evil I'm not talking about having to work hard in order to pay the bills. Problems like that could help to "develop the soul". I'm talking about something like the violent slaughter of 800,000 people in 100 days in Rwanda or a Tsunami slaughtering countless thousands of poor villagers. What purpose does that have in God's plan? And for those who insist that free will is God's excuse, then why did God create us with such hatred, such Xenophobia, that we are capable of these unthinkable atrocities?

So that is a quick proof I threw together (not all my ideas) and I am very curious as to what you think of it.

My third graders have an assignment to write about the best gift that someone could give to them..but this gift can't cost anything at all. What would be free that you would most like to have? What is the spirt of giving about.

Everything they suggests costs money. Anyone have ideas so I can steer them in the right direction.
