Let me speculate:
A KGB (in soviet times OC) sleeper agent in the US must have enjoyed the advantages of the west and realized that the concept was superior to MrxLeninisn.
A terrorist that went to Harvard must have tasted the good life to compare with fundamentalism.
But they still went on working for their causes although everything around them shows a life less harsh.
It´s clear that all WWII germans were not Nazis. Many have killed for their country, although in disagreement with official policy. They didn´t surrender, they fought on, even if it was clear that they were on the receiving end passing 1943.
So my theory is that believers are so much into their faith, that no matter how one demonstrates the obvious, only a tremendously traumatic experience would shake them loose from their course.
If some study could be done about the obstinacy against overwhelming good sense, I´d be REALLY interested to read the results.

I try to not think too much about these kinds of things and "I don't believe in it" but I've heard so many things about some weird stuff happening to people. Some of the people were close to me and I know of some that "didn't believe in anything of that" but sadly witnessed one of this weird acts. My cousin, a non believer, was sleeping with his wife and daughter when he felt something weird happen. He, the wife and the 1 year old girl woke up and their backs were all scratched and then the scratches suddendly dissapeared. I know my cousin since forever and I know that he never lies.

When I was 16 I was alone at home in my house of Massachursetts, I was doing my homework and no1 else was at home. The TV was on and I was hand writing a paper in the kitchen table. Then I felt like if someone hitted me in the lower part of the head and my head move down and everthing, my hair moved too. I checked again the house and nobody was there. When I was little in DR I used to hear keys...

What is your goal as a Christian?

I am referring to the meaning, the reason of your worship. The eventual outcome you aspire to reach this way.

I'm a high school senior. It's my final year in high school. I need all of you witches/wiccans/pagans. To pray to the Lord and Lady for my protection, to grant me guidance and wisdom, help me get better in school. Get the 2.0 GPA to get my diploma, I can't do this on my own, I need prayers, The Goddess and magick, to help me (Yes, I know i must do the work in order to strengthen the prayer.) My friend tell me that the more prayers from others you recieve the more power, you get, but you must send the back three fold. I'm willing to sacrifice everything I have to graduate, my social life, my time, I treat high school like it's college.

I wanna go to college to.

Everyone can pray, no matter who you are. Christian may pray for me, BUT NO PREACHING YOUR GOD OR YOUR JESUS TO ME. The more prayers the more power this one wiccan book says.

I need the Lady's help, I need her help more than anything, she is the only one who can help me walk on that stage with a diploma in my hand.

HELP!

I hear that he is burning all that is sacred in Greece, and that he holds Starjumper against her will. It is told that she is chained to his ankle, lightly clad in only a see through chiton, and he is using her for her pleasures.

I will crush him.

Okay people, it is a proven fact that Jesus and his Apostles were all JEWISH.

That being said I would like you to explain how you all became Catholics, Baptists, Born Agains, Muslims, Buddists etc...

If you don't, my pastor says you might go to hell (depending on particular circumstances). But, if you do, you'll go to heaven (no questions asked).

Vick's own pronouncements and his mother sobbed outside the mansion her son bought for her in Suffolk, Virginia.

"It is tough on everybody," she said. "They are trying to put my baby in jail, and for what? Everybody makes mistakes. Everybody deserves a second chance.

"He has given his life over to God. He is not a criminal, he's a good person. He has a big heart, and it just hurts."

... that, if intelligent life has evolved elsewhere, it has already gone extinct, or that it is yet to emerge, and we will be extinct before before we can make contact?

In other words, what are the chances that, even if intelligent life were to exist, the Universe keeps us apart not only by distance, but also by time?

A friend of mine began having trouble sleeping and found out that his ex-wife had cast a spell on him to stop him from ever sleeping again or finding peace in his life. He is becoming very sleep deprived and it is effecting his job. I need to know if and how I can counter the spell. She is obviously using "black magic" I don't even want to go there, but is there a spell I can do to counter it?

... What is the definition of "too much"?

Might some look at another who thinks "too much," and have the inverse opinion; that such individual doesn't think enough? And the question that would arise to that, would be...

... What is the definition of "not enough"?

And the final question that I am left with is...
Why would you tell someone either of these statements?

Thoughts...?
