I hear alot of religious adults talk about how sinful teenagers are regardless of thier beliefs.
Why is this commonly said about teens?

Because thats what happened 2000 years ago, a group of guys who had visions, said that they put gods exact words into the bible. Cmon, how realistic does that sound? These are the same people who burned witches, thought the world was flat, and said kings were direct desendants of god. not to mention crusaded around murdering millions while warshiping severed heads and spitting on crosses. I was was to meet anyone today that said they have clear audible conversations with god, i would think they were nuts. People were so ignorant and crazy back them, i cant hardly trust my restaurant server, let alone a bunch of guys who had vision and talked to god 2000 years ago. anyone feel the same way?

They say you have grown up when " Your actions are no longer self centered but are done with the awarness how they will affect others"
Agree or disagree?

I've done it before i think. I was sitting there and all of a sudden the needle i was staring at just jumped a little. I dont know how i did it but i tried it on other stuff and it didn't really work. So i was wondering how i could futher this ability? Any comments, thoughts, or tips? (And please people, i dont want anything like "You believe in this stuff?" or "Wow, this was a stupid question!" People, of course i believe in the stuff. And if it's such a stupid question then why are you even researching the topic.

A little Christian humor for a change

Jesus and Satan were having an on-going argument about who was better on the computer. They had been going at it for days, and frankly, God was tired of hearing all the bickering.

Finally fed up, God said, "THAT'S IT! I have had enough. I am going to set up a test that will run for two hours, and from those results, I will judge who does the better job."

So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away.

They mouse.

They faxed.

They e-mailed.

They e-mailed with attachments.

They downloaded.

They did spreadsheets!

They wrote reports.

They created labels and cards.

They created charts and graphs.

They did some genealogy reports.

They did every job known to man.

Jesus worked with heavenly efficiency and Satan was faster than hell.

Then, ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and, of course, the power went off.

Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the underworld.

Jesus just sighed. Finally the electricity came back on, and each of them restarted their computers.

Satan started searching frantically, screaming:
"It's gone! It's all GONE! "I lost everything when the power went out!"

Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from the past two hours of work.
Satan observed this and became irate. "Wait!" he screamed. "That's not fair! He cheated! How come he has all his work and I don't have any?"

God just shrugged and said,

"JESUS SAVES."

You have said allowed to those that believe like you do "I Am Saved!" and this means that those that do not believe like you are condemned-they made the wrong choice-a bad choice-according to you, your manifest and its scripture-YOU ARE 1 of GODS Chosen Children-and THAT Statement alone is nothing more than a statement of condemnation-prejudice and Biggotry-You have Chosen to be prejudiced and NOT TO ACCEPT-differences and diversity-AND ALL RELIGIONS are the same-condemning those that do not believe like you do-You are accepted by your group for sharing their beliefs however this small consillation is of considerable miniesque vituperat propensities-TO FIND FAULT-in anothers beliefs is ALL YOUR RELIGION DOES beyond supporting your own convictions-Is it no wonder that the world is constantly at WAR when each and everyone of you that believe in YOUR GOD-also believe that those that don't are going to hell-MY what a happy world your SAVIOUR has Created and you condone-Love thy Neighbor!

If you want the non-Muslim parts of the world to see that you are decent people, then why do you stand so quiet when you should be raging against the Islamic fascists whose only mission statement is genocide?

Or do they prefer only those who were actually born into the religion? I know anyone COULD convert if they wanted to, but are they really eager for new converts like Christians seem to be?
