I KNOW for a fact that there are spirits among us. But if a person were to see one, say for instance, me, how would I know how to distinguish whether it's intentions are to harm or help me?

Please no funny stuff, this is serious.

I've heard a lot of different stuff, like extend your hand and offer a hand shake, and if he/she accepts it, then you're o.k., but I want to know the real way.

Many Christians believe that being gay is wrong. There's no doubt about that.. but, shouldn't they be focusing their anger towards sins that really hurt others. Take for example, murder, lying, unfaithfulness .. etc.. where as being homosexual is just a variation to typical relationships, just like heterosexuals, their are gays that stay faithful and gays that are promiscuous. Whats your opinion on this? I just feel that gays are viewed so negatively where as other 'sins' in my opinion are much worse.

Isn't everyone thankful for all the beautiful variety of religions, spirituality and beliefs?
Or do you really wish (hopelessly I might add) that everyone believed and thought basically the same as you?

Would someone mind explaining what God is?

As a non-religious person I believe that the nature of God is not to be understood.

It's certainly one of the parts of Buddhism I have the most trouble with. Does Buddhism teach a belief in a 'soul'? If so, I don't see where it differs from other 'religions'. If it was just a philosophy, I could understand and believe in it.

The bad news is that you may have had to do overcome it alone without the support of family or friends.

The good news is that God never sends us into any situation alone or with plans to fail, for the bible teaches us:

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the LORD..." -- Jeremiah 29:11-14 NIV

I am a big fan of "the Girls Next Door." I've taped almost every episode and would like to live the Playboy lifestyle so I was wondering could I have three women like Hef if I converted to Mormonism? I really enjoy women and believe that God made them to be loved!

Does the Book of mormon reference these or is it more like just a religious ritual type thing that isn't directly reference in the book?

btw-i know some mormons don't like public discussions about the garments, but I'm just curious--i hope i haven't offended anyone.

i know different religions interpret this differently so i'm interested. i know some believe he was god in the physical form and some believe he was literally the son of god (as in, not god himself), and some believe he was neither.

so enlighten me.

If you do believe in god. (Note: This does not have to be the Christian god.)

I am am an atheist, and curious as to what reasons religious people have for being so.

And please, don't give answers that are not answers, or that have a basic meaning similar to "OMG ur goin 2 hell!!" Because I would like genuine answers, and not bashing.

For fellow atheists, feel free to explain why you don't believe in any god, same rules as above.

I have heard this so many times and it is unbelievable how many people actually believe it. First off, Jews were not around til the birth of Judah which happened thousands of years after God created Adam. The Noahide laws say nothing about non-jews giving offerings or sacrifices yet Adam's sons Cain and Abel were doing it and Cain made an offering that displeased God (which is sin). Therefore, he obviously broke a commandment on sacrificing. Plus, in the Prophets it specifically says the Nations will have to come to Jerusalem to participate in the Feast of Booths (another non Noahide law) or it will not rain on their land. In addition, Jews are only descended from the tribe of Judah, while God chosen nation of Israel is 12 tribes which are scattered across the earth. I could list many other errors in the 7 noahide law theory but, if people read the Bible they will see these things.

abuse and neglect are even greater problems. Since most cases go unnoticed and unreported, no one knows how many millions of children are being affected by these kinds of abuse. Studies say that mothers are just as likely to abuse their children as fathers are. In fact, the majority of physical abusers are mothers. Child abuse is not just found in lower class & minority groups but in every social and economic class of people. Even Christian parents are not immune from this problem. Christians are probably the most susceptible to emotionally abusing their children. It is the most subtle kind of abuse and most parents are not aware they are doing it.
What kind of abuse is subtle abuse, how do we describe it?
Would you say that scars left from emotional abuse often last longer and do more damage than those from physical or sexual abuse? What causes parents to become abusers? And do you agree that mothers are more likely to be the abusers than the fathers?
