In Tibetan society, children are often born who display early signs of incredible knowledge and understanding of Buddhist scriptures. These children are recognised as re-incarnations of great teachers. A boy was recently discovered in Africa who at 5 yrs old can speak in several languages and preaches on the Koran to huge gatherings of people. Are these children reincarnate saints? Have we been here before?

Besides your family. For me it is that I was strong enough to walk away from a 30+ year abusive marriage and start my life over.

partake of the "body and blood" of Jesus Christ? Have you ever thought beyond what the church or the Bible have taught you? How can this practice benefit the faithful?

I really like singing, especially in public (I am not bad, I take vocal lessons too), and yesterday I was singing songs about Christmas and America while waiting to be picked up from school. First I am singing "God Bless America" and a younger girl comes up and starts harrassing me and my friend. Later, I am singing "Holly Jolly Christmas" and when I am done, another girl walks past and says to me "I'm a Jew" with the most hateful look in her eyes. (I thought they were all about peace!) I am not really religious (I just celebrate widely celebrated holidays).

Would it be okay to shout profanities when they do this?

or should I say Christians, balance the beliefs of human rights and the Christian way of life? There are just some things that I think people have the right to do, like gay relations, but don't agree with God's word. The Bible was written by humans afterall, and one of the disiples were sexist, so how can we completely trust that what they say happened, actually happened? And what about all the stuff that was supposed to be in the Bible but the Romans decided not to put it in there? These Biblical myths that most Christians refuse to believe, make more sense to me in the end. They fill in a lot of the blanks. Just os everyone knows, I'm not asking this to be ignorant, I really do want to know. I'm trying so hard to understand, but the gaps keep screaming at me, I need more (and better) answers. I truely want the truth. Gee, maybe I should take Bible study classes at my college.

nowadays i see tons of my schoolmates (high school) donating just because of extra credit, and volunteering because they are FORCED to and helping out JUST because it looks good on a college application..
i thought the point of volunteering/donating was to help the world as much as possible not just using it to get into school?
what happened to people and their priorities?

Some guy who happens to be white said ***** accidentally or maybe not and I did not care. But I felt under pressure to give him crap and maybe throw a fit...Is this necessary?

When people ask me what my religion is, I always say I don't have one. I don't believe in organized religion or feel that I need to dedicate a part of my life to it. I don't, however, rule out the possibility that there is a higher force out there. I just don't believe that it matters whether or not there is. Therefore, I rather not spend my life trying to figure out if there is or not. What would sort of philosophy would this be considered? I was thinking Agnostic, but I always felt Agnostic was for people who were unsure and whose minds were not made up.

I don't care whether or not I get presents for special occasions like Christmas. Usually when I want something I go out and buy it but I just don't care if I get presents from people. I find it awkward. I have fun buying presents for people and wrapping them. My husband feels the same, for birthdays and holidays I ask him what he wants and he's like "I don't know, I don't really need anything". When I was a kid christmas was so exciting, now it's just another day.

Did anybody do anything more special than usual for the Yule celebrations this year?
And if you haven't yet, what do you have in mind?
I'm looking for something more significant than the usual, this is special year for me.
Any ideas?
For those of you that may take offense at me asking, please don't, it's not your input I'm looking for here.
Thank you for your kindness.
