What should one do when a magic becomes too great for one to handle? When the stem of the magic is natural, but it spirals into nothing but hate and destruction, but is too in-routed to a person - to a living being - to ever destroy?

We see people on the television , who collect the most odd and fascinating things. Do you collect something - just because it fascinates you?

I asked a question to Christians about why they thought they got hostility from Atheists (yes, I know hostility works both ways!).

One of the answers I got was very good and informative but in it they mentioned that Christians were perceived as arrogant but weren't....fair enough, but they went on to say that they had pity for those that didn't understand them.

For me, I have seen this word a few times, although I voted the answer as my favourite, I did say that I thought the word 'pity' was the wrong one to use, it is arrogant to pity someone because they don't believe in what you believe in.

So my question; do Christians actually pity atheists?

Reasking this now that it's a more reasonable hour (at least on the U.S. east coast).

An AD&D module I once played described a scenario where various gods were cast down to earth in the form of their various avatars to do their bidding.

Each avatar had various special godlike powers specific to its realm of control or dominion over their... dominion.

What would yours be like?

1) Jesus is Lord And Savior

2) Don't Believe in rapture, 2 thes chapter 2 v3, 1 Corin 15 v 52, 1 thes 4v15 jesus returns at the seventh trumpet..and not before...he will return but not after the Devils reign...

3) Don't believe in tongues, Paul spoke in peoples dialect, not what is going today, Acts 2 (KJV)

4) You must repent when you sin, even if one confessed in Jesus or you will go to hell.

5) Sin is not Sin, but it is for the most part, becuase most sin sends you the same place, hell. The 10 commandments are to be followed and repent when broken for loving your neighbor is obeying the 10 commandments. Romans 13 v5

Am I Close To Catholic?

I'm pretty religious and all, and I want to know if it is bad to straighten your hair. Is it an abomination to God?
Are there any verses in the Bible about straightening your hair and the like?
I'm getting a little convicted, but maybe it's just silly--?

Did any of you see the program "Jesus Camp" on A&E last night? Very scarey; frightening. It reminded me of Hitler's Youth Camps in Nazi Germany during the 1930' & 40's....of course it was apparent these Jesus camps are a product of the Cristian/Republican political machine that has been going on since the Reagan/Falwell political marriage in 1980.Did any of you think is blantant child abuse by their very own parents? What can be done about it to save these poor children?

This is one of the questions I had when I was a Christain that has never been answered for me.
I tried to make it make sense on my own with the following arguements.
The devil. That was my first thought. But then I realised that the bibles says the Devil was cast out of heaven by God. This would incate that the Gods word is more powerful then that of the devil because Gods word itself is all powerful. The devil could have no effect on it.
My next thought was that it was free will. This assumption worked fine because it is the truth we all have free will. But then I thought that reguardless of free will infallible is infallible and infallible couldn't possibly be found to be fallible.

Could someone please clarify this for me?
Thanking you all in advance.

Peace and Good Food.

Right now I am learning German which will take me about 1.5 years to understand a lot.

I want to learn Real Latin American Spanish and not that spain ****. I live in NYC and would love to be able to converse in Spanish that most latinos understand.

Don't say Pimsleur as I have taken a few lessons of Pimsleur Spanish and was not impressed, unlike my Pimsleur German which I was impressed with.

Jesus has already sacrificed himself for your sins. Now it's up to you to accept that sacrifice.

But who decides if you're going to get saved: God or you?
