Do you do them? Are they the first thing you do or is that a means of last resort?

My pat answer is, A spell is a prayer with Props. And NO, my spells are the means of last resort. I rarely end up having to use spells to get what I want done. I look at spellwork like trying to kill a mosquito using a howitzer. I'd rather use just enough to get the job done and not one bit more. So I use every mundane means to accomplish the task BEFORE I rely on using help from the spirit world.

Brightest Blessings,

Are drunken females right to show their boobs and pants off in public?

Sometimes I despair over some so-called ladies who get so 'lashed on the booze' that they deliberately show their melons and bushes to all- comers. They put themselves into all sorts of danger and the paramedics and police have to pick up the pieces of this terrible behaviour. "Bravado on the Booze".

Protestants...?

...if the sacrifice--or propitiation--of Christ consisted of him taking the full legal penalty of sin, why is Christ not damned to hell for all eternity?

Is believing in god important?

Many people say, "just let them believe whatever they want too". If you do that are you really interested in their eternal life.
I feel that ifyou have something important you will be very anxious to share it. You can get very convincing with a little cuth. Shoving any believe down someones throat is a talent that has been reserved for the popes.

Do you think as a web addict I should help other. ??

12 Step Program Of Recovery For Web Addicts

1) I will have a cup of coffee in the morning and read my PAPER newspaper like I used to, before the Web.

2) I will eat breakfast with a knife and fork and not with one hand typing.

3) I will get dressed before noon.

4) I will make an attempt to clean the house, wash clothes, and plan dinner before even thinking of the Web.

5) I will sit down and write a letter to those unfortunate few friends and family that are Web-deprived.

6) I will call someone on the phone who I cannot contact via the Web.

7) I will read a book... if I still remember how.

8) I will listen to those around me about their needs and stop telling them to turn the TV down so I can hear the music on the Web.

9) I will not be tempted during TV commercials to check for email.

10) I will try and get out of the house at least once a week, if it is necessary or not.

11) I will remember that my bank is not forgiving if I forget to balance my checkbook because I was too busy on the Web.

12) Last, but not least, I will remember that I must go to bed sometime... and the Web will always be there tomorrow!

Golden compass continued....?

This is to those people who answered my last post.

Tell me now, you who call God sadistic, evil, hate-filled and the like, why it is that you say those things.

How is God hateful?

What possesses you to view God in that way?

What's wrong with being monotheistic?

How can you tell if an Atheist is disguising them self as a Believer?

There are verses in The Holy Quran where Allah warns The Believers about The Hypocrites, and that they (the Hypocrites) will be in the lowest depths of the fire.

But how can you tell if they're hypocrites when they practice Atheism behind closed doors?

is this a healthy relationship.?

My love seems to always make me feel like i am unworthy and dirty and full of sin.She tries to make me prove my love for her over and over.She tends to be a bit egotistical and gets mad if i talk to people who don't think that she is the greatest thing ever.She threatens to torture me if i look at anyone else or if i learn things that are not in her "how to love me"manual.She has convinced me that without her in my life i am worthless and will certainly live in pain.She has a very violent temper and has no problem slaughtering anyone that doesn't give in to her demands.She makes promises that things will get better but she still controls me through fear and intimidation.I am probally better off without her but i'm afraid to think for myself and make my own choices in life.Should i continue with this relationship?

Creationists please explain this to me?

Alright I am Roman Catholic myself and I am not opposing God in any way, so don't go ballistic and flame me in every word you type.

Now answer me this, is anything proved in the bible? Why is our DNA closest to the monkey and why is evolution false? Also if evolution was so battered by creationists, why would Pope John Paul II embrace evolution and say, "Evolution is Compatible with Christian faith". I mean, you cannot say this man was an idiot, he was the Pope! Please explain.

When women say they want to be treated equally?

I'm confused, I just recently noticed this...Women say that want to be treated equally, but then they also want to be treated like a lady? I don't get it. They'll complain about how it's not fair that men underestimate them just because they're a woman, but then they expect us to put the toilet seat down for them, open doors for them, and be extra nice to them. I'm not saying I want to hit women, but they talk about how they are just as tough as men, but if a man attempted to hit a woman they'd freak out and say "you can't hit a woman". I dont get it...

It is not who you know,but who knows you.?

GRANDMA IN COURT.

Lawyers should never ask a Mississippi grandma a question if they
aren't prepared for the answer.

In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his
first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand.

He approached her and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?"
She responded, "Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known
you since you were a young boy, and frankly, you've been a big
disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate
people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot
when you haven't the brains to realize you never will amount to anything more
than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you."

The lawyer was stunned! Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the
room and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?"
She again replied, "Why, yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he
was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem.
He can't build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is
one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife
with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him."

The defense attorney almost died.

The judge asked both counsellors to approach the bench and, in a very
quiet voice, said, "If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll throw
both of you in jail and neither of you will ever see the sun again.
