I purchased a television for my brother's dorm room and was asked for my receipt before leaving Wal-mart. Was I offended? No, but I wonder how others feel about this "lack of trust"among retail stores...

Why aren't there any extensive government funded or run searches for cryptids like the loch ness monster and other things? That way there could be a definitive answer and the mystery would be solved?

I attended my first Hanukkah during a Bat Mitzvah celebration and had a wonderful time! I was re-invited to anther Bat Mitzvah but was wondering if it's okay or non-offensive for Non-Jewish people to participate in Jewish ceremonies.
I don't want to feel like I'm intruding or offending anyone.

Christians, can you share some false teachings that you believe they enemy has infiltrated the Church with in the hour in which we live.

2 Tim 4:3
A time will come when people will not listen to accurate teachings. Instead, they will follow their own desires and surround themselves with teachers who tell them what they want to hear.

Yesterday I posted a question and was bombarded by angry people, that were literally putting me down. I don't feel my question was putting anyone or any religious belief down, but I was called "simple" "hostile" "angry" "non believer".......I simply asked why (SOME , NOT ALL) People that say they are of "God" are so quick to put down people that don't believe as they do. Isn't that exactly opposite of what they are supposed to be?

This question stemmed from an answer I saw posted about the Dalai Lama, someone was inquiring about him, and a guy claiming to be "Called by God" said 'he is deceiving us and leading us on a fast path to hell'....the Dalai Lama! ?

Please, I don't want to hear how awful you think I am, or how I should believe your beliefs. I just want to know why it is okay for the people that preach "God's word", (God, who is kind, just, and non judgmental), to be so brutally cruel in their responses to people? Do they have a license from God to persecute?

(When people are celebrating someones birthdate, it is always
that person that gets the present not everyone else.
Something to think about. Please do not say because he
died, that is why he cannot receive his presents.)

OK. We see that we have many things in today's world.
That was not here 2000 years ago. So who are we to
say, that certain ways of life were not possible. Like the
Egyptians and heart surgery, Shoalin Monks, from China,
who could fly. Magic in Europe, during the Dark Ages.
And Native Americans and metamorphic powers,
from man to animal. To Religion and Spirituality
people. Does the fact that we have so much technology, it
does something to the human psyche ? Does it causes
us to lose touch with our spirituality ? Good question.
Given the fact that many people, in a modern day world,
have less connections with there own inner strength,
and supernatural powers. From a Divine Being of course.
And in some cases evil forces. Miracles do exist.
But now we have given way, to idolatry. And pride.
Have we deprived ourselves, or the full essence of
spirituality ? Best answer wins. ***

I am 26 y.o, I manage a convenience store.I only make 34000 a year and in february I will have 2 bachelor's degrees ( 1 in criminal Justice, which I have already finished and another in accounting and financing which I finish in February). I speak 3 languages fluently (Portuguese, Spanish and English) . I recently joined the US NAVY, but I cannot be an officer because I am only a permanent resident (not a citizen yet). And to make matters more difficult I cannot do any of the jobs I wanted to in there (MA, SEAL, diver and some others), because they require US citizenship, so I joined as an Electrician's Mate( I will volunteer for war). I have made my peace with my job in there, for the reason I joined was to repay to this country what it has given to me so far, which in my opinion it will last the next 25 years, which is how long, i plan on serving. I just wish I could overcome my feelings of being worthless, for being 26 years old, not making a lot of money like others my age are.

whenever i can't find my car keys, i sometimes get to the point of frustration that i'll say something like, "i know they didn't grow legs walk out of here (no evolution pun intended)." the point of my question is this. if you assume that a body could just disappear, i.e. ascencion into heaven, and that be your explanation for why there is no physical evidence of jesus, why wouldn't anyone who is missing their car keys come to the same conclusion? why do we persist on finding our car keys? why don't we just accept that they disappeared and are not meant to be found again until god wants us to find them? do you suppose disappearance by means of supernatural events should not be considered valid reason for not being able to find something?
