It would be kind of a bummer in Heaven if you had to think about someone you loved being tormented forever by the devil.

I've been looking online, and I can't find any good places besides Dovewood Court. It seems like a lot of places that used to have great lights aren't doing it anymore.

Do you won a Bible, a Koran, a Torah? Do you read it regularly? Do you find anything in them that you are able to use in your own Pagan worship?

I own 3 versions of the Bible, an English translation of the Koran, and an English versiion of the Torah. I read them all and find a lot in there that IS uplifting and also has applicability to my practice as a Wiccan. There IS a lot that can serve as a morality backbone to MANY Faiths that do NOT share in the dogma of those Religions. Why is it that I, a 100% Green Witch, can read, and find that good parts of their holy books. Have them totally acceptable by MY Religion and yet be confonted by memebers of those Religions who wouldn't so much as bother to simply read OUR wroks and find similar sections that hold morally uplifting parts and consider them to be valid for their use? I can honestly say that I have read the Bible more than many so-called "good, upstanding Christians" have.

Rumor has it that the donations to the televangelists has gone way up.

Is it true God has enough purchasing power now to buy Zeus's palace on top of Mt. Olympus?

If you are saved, then why do you celebrate a obvious pagan holiday like Christmas?

Don't lie and say that it is to celebrate the birth of Christ, everyone knows that Christ was not born any where near 25 December. And the pagan observation of Christmas was celebrated hundreds of years before Yeshua was even born. If you cannot be honest, or if you give some weak excuse for celebrating this pagan day, then I would prefer that you not answer, and let someone who is at least honest answer this question.

By the sotry of Moses I mean the one in the bible in the book of Exodus. I'm doing a presentation and I have most of it done, but I'm really not sure how to answer this question. Why would this story be considered significant? Because Moses performed all those miracles?

Any help greatly appreciated!

2 years later I died spiritually..... and now have gone 1 year without feeling any emotion. I met a drug dealer who said he would give me money if I slept with him and my mother had a dream the next day that I was murdered by a drug dealer... If God is protecting me through dreams it means he still cares what happens to me right?

I have seen--don't remember where--Creationists touting "living fossils" like the coelacanth (creatures that were thought to be extinct for millions of years and then turn up alive) as evidence against evolution.

I've been trying, but I can't seem to remember how that line of reasoning went. If anything, I would think that "living fossils" would be a boost for the theory of evolution. After all, critters like the coelacanth have apparently been around for millions of years and we just haven't happened to find any recent fossils of them, right?

Doesn't that imply that, just because scientists haven't found every little "missing link" that Creationists demand, it doesn't mean they're not there? If a creature can go unrepresented in the fossil record for millions of years when we know very well that it must have been there anyway, doesn't that make a case for yet-undiscovered "missing links"?
