I mean the queens speech, this is what does it for me. She sits on her **** all year, (dont get me wrong, i am english) comes out for 15 minutes and talks to us all like shes a bloody god, gives out inhelpful advice (mostly bo***cks about giving and helping friends etc, stuff you use to get off your grandparents when you went round for dinner on a sunday) and we call her our queen. Now im sorry but for all you history buffs out there, look at the great and bad kings and queens of the past. When monarchy ran the country and decided on the welfare of the state, that is when true monarchy has a purpose. now the queen has more power in those tiny white gloves than any head of state in the world, inc george bush (sorry to disappoint you americans out there, i know u like to think ur always bigger and better) so why doesnt she get off her **** and do something useful to impact on all our lives. Make a few decisions etc. Its ludacris. So why do we have one and why do we like her. What she do?

well, I am NOT affliated with any Christian denominations but my ideas closely represent a Unitartian Universalist Christianity.

I love rosaries because they're are beautiful and I am proud of the history of them. I wondering because a lot of people wear symbolic items as jewelry....

The usage of Chinese kanji as tattoos, The Celtis knots jewelry, Native American Dreamweavers, Hindu gods, Polynesian tribal iconography, African American music, Jesus air fresheners, Cornrows, and fake African art.

Since a lot of symbolic items are used as aesthetics, would it be wrong to wear a rosary as one?

There are demons that have sexual relations with people who are sleeping. Some people report being paralyzed and seeing an ugly woman on top of them in the middle of the night. She steals a man's seed and soul at the same time and then morphs into a male demon (the incubus) and impregnates a woman. Do you believe in incubi and succubi?

I'm catholic. My parents use to hate catholics, they actually were catholic then left the church. With me going back they've stopped hating it again (thanks be to God). My oldest sister still hate catholics but she lives on her own. My parents seemed interested in attending christmas eve Mass with me this year. I got sick and took a nap, my oldest sister came over and no one woke me up intime. I awoke to her making fun of the Rosary, which got my mom started. Today my other sister was dipping bread in her wine at dinner and my oldest sister started laughing and kept mocking the Holy Eucherist! I asked her to stop because it was disrespectful but she kept doing it and said 'there is no host' and eventually I just left for my room.

My parents seem so interested in the church until my oldest sister is around, then they hate it again. Even worse is them mocking and making fun of my faith- I dont know what to do about it. I've tried talking, its not working. what else is there?

can you decide right now to be gay? And by be gay, I don't mean go have sex with someone who is the same sex as you, but actually be physically attracted to them and could imagine having a long-term relationship with them.

I don't think you can do it, because I think, homosexuality is in your DNA, and can't be consciously changed anymore than your eye color or your personal taste in food.

And who would choose to be one of the most hated a persecuted group of people and have your rights taken away?

So... can you choose to be gay right now? Can you? Do it just to prove it.

For me, it was watching an unexpected snow fall begin when
we arrived at our daughters today. A first snowfall at Christmas, we've never seen before. Then after opening our
presents later, it all stopped. The timing was perfect.

Are you willing to accept the truth if it doesn't fit into your preconceived notion of the truth.

2007-12-25 14:46:26 · 13 answers · asked by Toni 2 in Religion & Spirituality

Christians teach that Jesus eliminated basically all the old Jewish laws (eg. trinitarian (polytheist?)-monotheism, idolatry, how sabath should be observed; dietary laws; sacrifices etc.) because God wanted to spread God's message to the whole world, no longer to just one group.

Muslims have told me God got tired of the Jews continually rebelling against God (they'd revere a prophoet, then later forget, then revere the next prophet who reminded them of God's word but ultimately forget), so he handed His final message to the Arabs.

How many Jews question whether God changed his mind and abandoned them as the Christians and Muslims claim?

I believe that relgion is geographical, for example what is the chances of a child growing up in afghanastan becoming a jehovah's witness or a child from a mormon family in utah proclaiming to be a muslim. . . beliefs are conditioned and taught, what makes someone think they are so right when there is some one at the opposite end of belief, believing they are so right. . . I believe the strong can break through these boundaries and find their own beliefs and spirituality, what are your views?

Most of the americans dont know anything about canada while canadians know lots about the U.S. Why are there so many stereotypes against us? Such as we always say eh, we are arctic and its freezing here, all we do is play hockey&curling, and make maple syrup. Our country is pretty much exactly the same as the united states so why do you guys assume all this stuff& make fun of us all the time? I dont understand why...

Amor fati is a latin phrase meaning, "Love your fate". What I would like to do is add a word that essentially means that fate is unguided, aimless, and without direction. The closest I could come is with the word, "vagus". I'm not sure if this is grammatically correct. Is there a better way to say this? "Love your unguided fate?"

The True Founder of Christianity
The teachings of Paul, the true founder of Christianity, cannot be found anywhere in the teachings of Jesus or in those of prophets before him.

The following are some of the innovations that Paul introduced into "his" religion of Christianity.

1. The divinity of Jesus
2. The trinity
3. Atonement
4. Salvation by faith

it seems as though jesus was born and died like millions of people. maybe he was special maybe not. there were plenty of people who had special abilities in the past that wernt god. the point is chriostianity was formed after his death. it wasnt his religion it was pauls. paul just created a religion based on his acount of a man who died many eyars before him
