tell you how much He loves and how happy He was that you took time to spend some time with Him? Wasn't the time that you and God (Jeus Christ) spent together - the Greatest - so Peaceful? When your time together was over did you feel like you had answers to questions not yet asked - I always feel like I've gotten a very special gift and I don't know what it is or what to do with it - How about you? Now I know many of you may make fun of this - it's o.k. - because it won't make that time any less special for me! I definitely can handle insults that are to my face and those that are not! Now for my brothers and sisters of other faiths or no faiths - your answers and responses are definitely appreciated regarding the feelings you experience when communicating with your god! Would you please share?

If St. Athanasius had not used bribery, theft, extortion, sacrilege, treason and murder would Christians believe as they do? Is violence acceptable to push christian beliefs?

Bah! I'm a pretty big beleiver in the metaphysics and karma and all that spirtual "mumbo jumbo"....My theory on life is very simple and I beleive being a good person is the key to a happy life. I try to help others out as much as I can just out of the kindness of my heart. If I make a mistake I normally realize it and do my best to make up for it. Karma is something I truely beleive in...and as great as things have been going for me lately, I feel like things are going a little more difficult than expected. I am dealing with the hardships well, but I just wish they would go away! What can I do to help alleviate all this pressure and stressful moments?

So far my research has found that you have to like to molest little boys, hate everyone that is different from you, feed people stale bread and grape juice, and make people stand and sit constantly for your own amusement. Oh, and convince people that an unfaithful whore (mary) is the mother of the son of god. My god, what kind of man would believe his wife if she said "I know I never put out for you, But I am having gods kid, I would never cheat on your Joe"

We care about and care for the earth and all living things on it, which is a lot more than what you christians do. So tell me, how is that self-indulgent? Seems pretty SELFLESS to me.

I mean when people talk about fate it sounds a lot like religion just a lighter version, they are putting their lives to the power of some “thing” to make all the decisions and explain all situations and out comes.
For example “why did this person have to die?” religion would say god willed it to be, a “fate” person would say its fate, it was his time, as if it was predetermined, is it really so depressing to think that this person died because of completely random and uncontrolled events that could have easily been stopped

Some people say Harry Potter is Satanic, others say Doungens and Dragons is Satanic, others say that Wicca is Satanizm, I thought that Satanists read the Satanic Bible and warshiped Satan/The Devil. Why is anything magical considered Satanic..... what about Fantasia? Is Mickey Mouse a Satanist?

Heres a short but sweet explanation. My Mother was shunned and told she could not teach in the Assembly of God church because of her divorce. My parents were married 21 yrs, and separated 2.5 yrs before they divoced. They tried..they really did. I have an immense problem with some of the answers.
I have been married twice. My first husband beat the crap out of Me, and by some of the answers I was supposed to stick around and deal with it. Oh btw..I was pregnant at the time. My second husband beat, neglected and molested My children, and My daughter, is still in counciling. Heh, I was stupid back then, but I have learned alot. I have grown. How can My divorces be wrong?
There is a definate differance between God, and the church, and religion. Does anyone know what it is???.

Brain

I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain.
And my head I'd be scratchin' while
my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain.
I'd unravel every riddle for any individ'le,
In trouble or in pain.
With the thoughts you'll be thinkin'
you could be another Lincoln
If you only had a brain.
Oh, I could tell you why The ocean's near the shore.
I could think of things I never thunk before.
And then I'd sit, and think some more.
I would not be just a nothin' my head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain.
I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry,
If I only had a brain

Moses taught his followers God's Name. He told them to call on it and to use it. Moses taught that this Name is God's forever. It is an important Name.

Exodus 3:15
"God, furthermore, said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'YaHWeH, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you ' This is My name forever, and this is My memorial-name to all generations."

The words "allah", "god", "elohim", "lord" or any equivalent are not names of God no matter how much somebody believes them to be. "Allah" is the English eqivalent of the word "God". That is not a name but a word to describe what the supreme being is in relation to His creation.
God revealed what His Name is to Moses. Each prophet of God after Moses used the Name of God and taught it to their followers. Yet Muhammad does not mention it. Muhammad does not teach his followers the Name of God. It is one of the signs that would show Muhammad to be a true prophet.

This is in reference to this: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ak46pyG06slKzNkyUlEwe0Dsy6IX?qid=20060717214528AAkC0bH

So, I am fairly irked that people are still so ignorant to think that Wicca is the same thing as Satanism. Similarities were listed such as both use the pentacle and magickal practices.

For one, not only do Satanists use the inverted Wiccan Pentacle, they also use the inverted cross. So, does that mean that Christians are Satanists?

Also, Wiccans and Satanists aren't the only ones to practice Magick. Ever make a wish on a falling star, or blow out a candle on a birthday cake? Those are both magick rituals that pre-date Christianity.

If you are so Christian, I suggest you stop putting up Christmas trees (aka Yule trees), stop making wishes, and for goodness sakes stop dying Easter eggs because those are all "evil" Pagan practices.
