I work at a place were I enjoy the work. I like the people I work with but I hate the way the store is ran. I'm a college student and honestly the money is great for me while I'm in school. It's a huge financial relief having everything I want, and more. But the mental strain daily of the unfair work load/favoritism makes it hard to deal. I often blow up and end up throwing things or something of the sort, that I later regret. But it's because no matter how often I've talked to the manager, nothing changes, because he just doesn't care himself. The owner is even worse so going to him is 100% not an option.

The problem is the people I work with have the attitude "I don't have to work, so I'm not going to work" because people that have not been there as long and don't have 'seniority' have to do the majority of the work, while they watch TV or talk. I understand, who wants to work when you can get paid to watch TV? I split workload and help them why can't they help me? How do I deal?

Do any American denominations still practice the tradition of "Sin Eating". Are there still "Sin Eaters"?

Could it be that Jesus never asked there to be a religion created in his name? I only remember the scripture that says, "The only way to the father is but by me" which I know in my heart means, "a life like mine" and not literally "worship me."

Jesus also said, "You can do these things that I do and more if you have faith, if you ask a mountain to throw itself in the ocean then it will get up and move into the ocean." Magick is just a word to describe the manipulation of energy in ways like this, but the church has made this power seem like something evil when Jesus himself used it and said we could, too!

Could it be that the church is actually part of the false prophets that the book of Revelations spoke of? I have known that meeting with people on the street here who go out with megaphones claiming to be doing their work in the name of God are really just judging and condemning people, and Christ would have never done that!

As a young woman of color, I have evaluated the accomplishments of minority leaders in the community. In most instances, I find the actions of these leaders to be one sided and in some cases, downright unjustified.

In the situation of the black stripper being raped by the white Duke athletes, community leaders thought it was a case of racism because the defense cut large holes into this young woman's story. When it came to light that the young woman was not raped, no one apologized and Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson disappeared as quickly as they'd come. What gives? Do you think that these leaders help or hinder the black community?

was interviews today and went on and on about how god had protected her and intervened. The interview went on for several minutes with her praising god for intervening, and crediting god with everything.

The question is this. If you were a family member of the two sisters who were killed, how would all that talk about god intervening affect you?

The Parliament has recently passed a bill making it mandatory for children to take care of their parents in their old age. Do you think it's right to intervene in family matters like this? Or was this step called for? What are your thoughts on this?

I actually live by THREE houses with nosy old people. One is not even old, there like middle aged! We all have history together, and its not very great (long story). Those two old people hate me. Since they always frown at us, I hate my neighbours back. (Yes, I said hate, who the hell cares if its a "strong word"). Not only old people, but I also live near crazy teens! They are so loud that you can even hear them at night! Everybody around me is driving me crazy! How do I stop the madness?! Isn't there anybody who has this type of experience?!

Some are benevolent and some are malicious... Is it simply the nature of these forces to remain so hidden from our perception? Or is there a reason they have not revealed themselves to us as fully as we would like? Is the force of evil really so cowardly to remain hidden from the eyes of humankind as an obscure concept? It seems this way, many will doubt or refute its existence so those affected by and witness to these forces can be written off as fools. "The greatest trick the devil ever made was to convince the world that he does not exist."

How can I prevent myself and my loved ones from being little more than food to "higher" beings of different dimensions? Read some scriptures from ancient texts like the Bible, research the Annunaki, the Reptilian Race, Carlos Casteneda, and http://educate-yourself.org/ if you need more information on what I might be talking about. Remember that in everything the truth will be obscured by lies, so trust your heart to know the difference.

Bless.

Ancient Jews, familiar with astronomical predictions, projected Daniel's 49 weeks to end in the 1st century, which they knew would be the new age of Pisces.

First century Jews, became certain it was their time to rise, and so they resisted Rome. Rome reacted predictably and destroyed their temple.

After the fall of the temple, a writer - Mark - wrote an allegorical story about a Jesus (literally means "YHWH's salvation") to make the point that the Jews themselves were a kind of spiritual Messiah as predicted by the scriptures, and so the prophecy had come true. His story originally ended at the crucifixion.

Paul/Marcion came along and changed the message to appeal to gentiles.

By the mid 2nd century, it was an embarrassment that no-one knew where Jesus was buried, or even where he had been born, so another writer - Matthew - added an astrotheological birth story and a resurrection. Now we had a resurrection, but no real reason for it. Luke added the reason....

For my whole life, I've always felt like maybe I was supposed to be a girl. I kept wishing I was a girl, doing things like a girl...since I was young, I even had SEVERAL girl habits that my mom yelled at me for day in and day out. Today, I have even MORE girl habits, and I feel more like I'm supposed to be a girl now then ever. Online, I pretend to be a girl, and it makes me happy. Offline, when I hear my real name, look into the mirror and see my male face, or even get treated like a guy, I freak out and get mad...or depressed. Is this a sign of me being trans like I think it is?

I did try to tell my parents, and they just said "Get right with God, you'll be fine" which (naturally) took them 3 hours of yelling at me to say.

pastors.. say God is love.. but he doesnt like gay people.. or any kind of people who dont follow their rules.. but turning back to slavery.. today slavery was abolished but the Bible doesnt condemn this act.. instead of condemning.. supports this act..even in the past the catholic and protestant leaders support the slavery in the Americas.. so I see how God is changing by the time... from Slavery to freedom? but God is speaking bad things even today for supporting wars and violence againts homosexuals and non-christians
