I need to know that true love really exist. Also I am not interested in the corny stories that you found love on the internet. I want true "natural" soulmate connections.

Is it just me, or does the concept of capturing an actual moment in time onto a physical peice of paper just mind blowing, and actually a little freaky if you think about it? I mean, an actual second that actually took place is now forever contained, or trapped to be veiwed over and over for eternity? Maybe I'm just weird, maybe it's just me, just thoght I'd hear other people's thoughts.

Why do people think that werewolves and vampires are real. They are mythical creatures made up to feed the imagination, they should not be taken seriously. To all of the believers, how can you possibly believe in something when there is no proof of its existence and no actual records of it pertaining to real life. The only people claiming that werewolves and vampires exist are those who are still hoping that the romanticized interpretation of the creatures made up by our pop culture society is actually true. Its becoming more and more pathetic when people state that they are a vampire or a werewolf as if it is based on fact when it is just a craving for the abnormal or interesting. And to those who believe them, ask yourselves why haven't they supplied any proof to back up their statement. The reason is that they have no proof. They may be hairy, or allergic to sunlight but these are still in the range of human characteristics. So why do so many keep believing?

I recently had an experience with a demon, I think it was a demon. An evil Presence. It was so scary I wish it never happened. We pray and smudge everynight since it happend, but my kids are still scared to be alone at night, they are by side as soon as it gets dark, I have a hard time to sleep, I get up every hour to look around my room. My kids sleep with me too. We just aren't comfortable in my house anymore. Do you think it's still with us?

Okay, this sounds ridiculous, and it is. I don't believe in anything supernatural, including shape-shifters. However, after hearing people post answers to other questions who believe they have shape-shifted, I just gotta know what they think happened to them. Tell me your best shape-shifting story.

The functions of the Orishas.

The prevalence of worship among Black Americans, Caribbeans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Panamanians, Jamaicans.

How do you know which orisha is yours? You're drawn to? What in your personality/nature determines this? I, for example, am drawn to Yemaya.

Thank you in advance for all of your informative responses!

If aliens from another galaxy landed here, and they were omnivores, like us, what would they want for lunch? Moo-Shu Pork? Chicken Fajitas? Gyros? Best Answer from creative absurdity.
