Don't you think religious laws should be voluntary to those who worship it, not common law to everyone that lives there. If an islamic law prohibits women from driving cars, don't you think non islamic women should have the right to drive cars and go to work?

I believe that it is totally out of place and these girls should feel guilty forever. That is 100% wrong, not the right thing to do. What is the perfect punishment for that? Missionaries are for learning, not for falling in love. What a bad thing to do.

Are girls that fall in love with the missionaries going to heck?

I hear most people talk of their religion and talk nothing about their own spiritual process or growth.

I don't mean people who are depressed and commit suicide. Just people who die naturally and are depressed at the same time.

Let me tell you a little story.

Once upon a time, when I was in Africa, I told my companion's young daughter that we came from fish. When she looked skeptical, I explained:

"Look, you're just like a fish. You have two eyes -- two nostrils -- a brain -- braincase -- spinal cord -- vertebrae -- ribs -- heart -- stomach -- liver -- kidney -- spleen -- pancreas. Fish have all those things. So we're from fish."

She pondered this for a moment and said, "Maybe... fish are from us."

What do you think she meant by that?

Just wondering. I know that the Christian "hell" was made up to scare Pagans and other groups of people back in the day to converting to Christianity. And Christianity, Islam and Judaism are all considered to be the Abrahamic religions, similar in many ways including all three being monotheistic. So if they all are kind of the same then do Muslims believe in hell??

Christians can succeed.

Non-christians can succeed too.

Christians can have fun.

Non-christians can have fun too.

Christians can write books.

Non-christian can write books too.

Christian leaders can have a 10000 people seminar.

Non-christian leaders can too.

Christians can compose music.

Non-christians can too.

Christians can overcome sin.

Non-christians can too (though i am not very sure that they can).

so what's the difference between us and them?

i say it is the Presence of God that makes us different. The Presence that is so real, that gives us peace and joy from above, that are everlasting. The Presence that tells us what to do and guides us in His Light.

THAT is the only difference.

What do YOU think>?

I have a number of NON-christian friends who came and ask me these questions.

"why do some christians smoke and drink?"

"why do some christians still scold vulgarities?"

"why do some christians behave so holy in church and lead an unChrist-like lifestyle outside?"

i came out of all these bad habits (naturally and spiritually, when the Holy Spirit spoke to me)when i became christian and when they ask me these questions, i am put into a difficult positions by the behaviour of some other christians who smoke, drink etc.

if you drink and smoke and party a lot, pls tell me how you would answer the questions posted by non-christians.

I don't understand something, so maybe someone could help me out here. I live in a predominately African American area of the US. All the time on the news, you hear from the African American community that they don't have equal rights and they are looked down upon, etc. First....we have so many names of things and holidays and even a WHOLE MONTH dedicated to Black History and historical figures....where is the month dedicated to the rest of the history of the US? And why is it that when I go to EVERY Wal-Mart, Target, KMart, etc., around here looking at Christmas things that EVERY plastic Santa is black? There is a whole endcap of black baby dolls, and EVERY nativity scene is of a black Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus? Does the world not understand that Santa (which the "idea" of Santa stemmed from St. Nicholas who was from Asia Minor-meaning...he's not of African descent) and that Mary, Joseph and Jesus were not African...they weren't white either. He was born in Judea.)

Real crazy people don't know they are crazy.
A really racist/bigot usually don't realize that he/she is.

You'll notice that I've spelled it Magick as opposed to magic (stage show illusion). Do you believe that it's an essential part of being a Witch or any other type of Pagan? Do YOU use it in your practice? If so, why? If not, why not? If you DO use magick, do you rely on your own energies or do you call on the non-mundane world for it's applications?

My beliefs are that I prefer to use mundane approaches coupled with meditation to effect the changes I need. In over 35 years of being a Witch I have only had to actually use magick on three occasions. In all 3 cases it was 100% successful. If I need to use Magick, then I pull out ALL the stops and invoke all the relevant spirits to assist me in the spellworking. Because I consider Magick to be the 30 megaton warhead, used only after all other avenues have been attempted, I feel that if that much power is needed then use it ALL., and make my impact count for all its worth.

For a while the fact that humans possess one less chromosome than all other primates which would disprove the theory that all modern day primates came from one species. The discovery of chromosome #2 being a fusion of two chromosomes found in other primates shows how a single ancestor is incredibly likely.
If you believe in creationism, this would suggest that God purposely created us to make it appear that we had evolved. Do you think your God is intentionally deceptive?

I almost never have trouble sleeping. Today I did 50 pushups, 500 crunches, and 13 chinups, and I ran 3 miles. I drank only four cups of coffee (usually I have six) and all before noon. I haven't had any other stimulants or any alcoholic beverages at all. What's wrong with me?

I have been dating an amazing girl for 4 months, and I love her dearly. However, recently she has been considering turning to a right-hand religion, and, as a Satanist, I find the praying to some deity for forgiveness instead of trying to fix things yourself weak.

If she does decide to become Christian, Catholic, or whatever, I don't know if our relationship will work...there just seems to be too much difference.

What do you guys think?
