"Some of these cosmologist pretend the subject (referring to the claim that the universe is made of atoms, dark matter, and dark energy) is nearly over, 'we just have to do a few more observations and computer calculations' "

"I think they are missing the whole message of scientific history, which is 'the greatest obstacle to progress in science is the illusion that we know what is going on, when we don't ' "

An old, tired-looking dog wandered into the yard. I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home.He followed me into the house, down the hall, and fell asleep in a corner. An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out.

The next day he was back, resumed his position in the hall, and slept for an hour. This continued for several weeks. Curious, I pinned a note to his collar: "Every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap."

The next day he arrived with a different note pinned to his collar: "He lives in a home with ten children -- he's trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?"

If the report button was changed for an "Ignore user" button instead? The function is that you cannot see the selected users answers and questions anymore, and the abuse of the report button would, of course, stop.

... about a new cashless monetary system wherein a 'mark' is involved in the form of somthing on or in the body, in order to buy or sell ..? Would that make you worry about ' maybe the prophecy was right? ' ... i think what im asking is would you see it as just a coincidence and go along with the new system or be apprehensive enough to reject it?

I'm confused, if it is true that the Catholic Church upholds all of God's 10 Commandment Law, (which differs from the KJV in the way that it appears that commandment 1 and 2 and 3 have been combined), Well about the second commandment in the KJV regarding idolity and graven images, how is bowing and praying to all the saints and idols justified?

I was raised as a Roman Catholic and studied the first eight years in a Catholic school. I'm interested in learning about different religions (Judaism, Islam, & Buddhism to start) but I prefer not to learn from "traditional" sources (i.e., those which might have an agenda, like religious institutions). I have many different books in which I'm interested in reading, but I'd really like to set up a curriculum for myself. I've tried searching for different ideas and information online, but have not been able to find anything that I feel will best apply some traditional methods to my studies - at least for an adult, anyway. If anyone has any advice on and/or experince in finding "lesson plans" for (self-)teaching religion to an adult, I'd be most appreciative.

...and still recruiting...

All those years at CC Costa Mesa, 3-4 services on Sudays and 1-2 every weekday, the school and the store. It's got to be one of the most profitable businesses in the Orange County. Where has all the money gone. Absolutely zero accountability in the name of God. so sad.

I started going to a new church and accepted the Lord a few months ago. It's not a cult or anything, just a good, Bible-believing Baptist church. The problem is one of the things they teach is that Deuteronomy 22:5 requires that men and women should dress differently. After much Bible study and talking to other girls in my Sunday school class, I felt convicted to start dressing modestly, quit wearing pants and always wear dresses and skirts. I feel this is something that God wants me to do and I won't be talked out of it. The problem is my mom just keeps giving me grief all the time about it, she's sort of a feminist, unfortunately. How can I convince her that this is my decision and what I think is the right thing to do? She doesn't have to agree with me, but she should at least respect my decisions. By the way, I'm 19 now and legally an adult.

Did He not say in the Bible three things that pertain to His nature; "I am not man..." "I do not lie..." "I the L-rd am G-d, I do not change."
The answers I read are good answers, for Christians 'defending' the faith, but as a human being, is it not for us to learn to be like Him? Where He like have the world stand still for Joshua, these people were bloodthirsty, child sacrifice aand all. Their crimes brought the Devine retribution on them. In fact, human sacrifice, more than idolitry--worship of a physical object/person/animal--lead to more punishment. But, then, talk about change ina being that states He does not change; one item that Jews and Christians who convert to Judaism find hard to swallow is this--How can any person who reads the Torah, which He said is eternal, can believe that HaShem(G-d)had somehow changed His mind about prohibiting HUMAN SACRIFICE! This, for a G-d centered Jew is beyound Belief! My trinity is HASHEM, TORAH & ISRAEL! Shalom and a happy and safe New Year

Isn't it just mind boggeling that those two little bastards are free? I mean... I don't care if they were only 10 when they commited that crime... they should have been sentenced to DEATH!! now they "did their time" and are out and free to have kids of their own. they are even being protected!! Little James Bulger never had a chance to even grow to be 3 yrs old... little lone have a family of his own.

Who agrees with me on this. If it were my son... i'd hunt those murderers down and kill them.... and their families for raising their children to be killers!!

eye for an eye!! that is what I say.. they meant to kill that boy!!

After going through some of the other questions centered around vampires i was unable find any that refered to or connected with the idea of "spiritual vampires" .

Those who feed off of the life forces , energies of other humans around them.
Here key word is feed off of, I have come in contact with some lately that if they can not feed off of the emotions, feelings, and life sources of others, They seem to create what they need in others and then move in.

Fear, hate, love, laughter,
Obviously seperate catagories.

What I am looking for is INPUT from you guys as to whether there are vampires who live off of other humans around them . To what degree.

I know that we live in a world where" it is eat or be eaten. Some do not believe that.

So i look forward to your input and interest.
