Just sitting here late at night playing around on the net with my cat asleep on my lap, when all of a sudden the cat just wakes up and looks at the bathroom door connected to this bedroom, and I look to. I watched as the door opened and a white smoke-type mist entered the room, The cat fled as if a dog was in the house (claw marks on my legs to prove it) Anyways, when I saw the smoke type mist, I watched as it just quickly fell to the floor, and then it was gone. The cat I found sitting i a window a brought her back in here, but she stared at the bathroom door and bolted out of the room again.
A Little background about this room im in right now. This used to be my parents bedroom. They have since passed. Now its my computer room.

When Moses went up onto Mount Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments (Exodus 19:20), he left the Israelites for forty days and forty nights (Exodus 24:18). The Israelites feared that he would not return, and asked Aaron to make gods for them (Exodus 32:1). He constructed the golden calf and built an altar, and the next day, the Israelites made offerings and celebrated.

The Lord told Moses that his people had corrupted themselves, and that he planned to eliminate them, but Moses argued and pleaded that they should be spared (Exodus 32:11); the Lord relented. Moses went down from the mountain, but upon seeing the calf, he too became angry. He threw down the tablets upon which God's law had been written, and broke them.

Moses then burnt the golden calf in the fire, ground it to powder, scattered it on water, and forced the Israelites to drink it. Moses gathered the sons of Levi and set them to slaying a large number of adult males (3000). A plague then struck the Israelites.

I am attracted to men, but I am a christian. But I am a non practicing homosexual. I know that we cannot change our orientation and we don't choose to be gay so don't hate me. Why on earth would we choose an orientation where we are hated and ostracized. It's absurd. You straight people couldnt change your orientation either. But God doesn't condemn me because I don't act on my desires so neither should people. Not all gay people are sex crazed perverts as some people think. It is not fair that we are judged so harshly before people even hear us out.

attractive in their stylized way? Shouldn't there be a healthier mix of beauty and ugliness like in real life? I want to see one of a 400 pound guy full of acne with stink lines coming from his pits. Do you think the avatars promote an unrealistic standard of beauty?

Our body is made of soil. If a soul can reside in this body made of soil, why cant a soul reside in an idol of clay? Why do some people call idol worshipping wrong?

Ministers preach God's holy word to us,
claiming perfection is impossible.

Next, they demand you be perfect because God commands it in Mathew "Be ye perfect, even as your father in heaven is also" etc.

God will never ask you to do a thing that you can't do, will he?
Course not! Horrors!

Since it is universally agreed that no-one can be perfect no matter how hard they try, I guess we still need to pin the blame on them?

Let's blame humans for things they cannot help!
Fantastic idea!

I feel better already, knowing helpless civilians such as U or I will be roasted alive for things we can't possibly have control over.

Soooo, if we can't help it, who can?
God! That's who! Do you really blame me when I had no control over the creationary process?

I admit to doing wrong, but only because I cannot help it due my human nature, given me by... God. (Boo! Watch out! X-tians may try to scare you into believing being born imperfect is YOUR fault!).

Stop thinking! It's dangerous? Oops!

I got this in the mail this morning:

"I hope your IT job doesn't send you straight to hell with your thinking. [...] The analytical worldy [sic] minds are going to perish. [...] I am protected and you are too blind to realize until God stops lookuing [sic] out for you. I am protected from all things. You will go down. But the thing is, all of us will bow down to the Lord one day. I just pray that you will find the truth before then."

Should I stop thinking, then? Does anybody else notice the extreme arrogance and stupidity displayed in this mail?

Oh, and for christians asking why 'I will pray' for you is sometimes offensive, this is a prime example. Telling me I am blind and will go to hell and then saying "I will pray for you" is not nice.

It's the ministers I am speaking of.
Should they even be allowed to teach?

Many are poor & uneducated, simply spreading hand-me-down fundy propaganda like fast moving viruses of mental decay.

Thinking seems to be discouraged, just wait for GOD to move. Doncha feel God? Halelluiah!

Oh, and watch it brother! God is sending you to hell. SO YOU BETTER BE AFRAID or I will hmm, bonk you over the head with a Bible if you don't?

How will I teach my meaningless mumbo jumbo if no-one is afraid of it?

Bible speaks of the blind leading the blind & they both fall in the ditch. No wonder churches everywhere are being deserted, as uneducated (blind) ministers are fleecing the flock with fear of God.

I forget why we even need religion...
Do we need to get saved from being imperfect (sinners)?

Why don't you go & be perfect like God demands in Mathew ("Be ye perfect even as your father in heaven..., etc")

Do it now, sinners. God doesn't ask, he commands.
Imperfection is my fault? How?

This just looked like a silver rose hanging on a chain. But the lady who owned it, showed us it had the seven sacraments hidden under the rose, they opened into a fan shape. I would love to be able to find one like it. Hers was a gift, so she did not know where it came from. thank you
