Thanks!

I moved into my first home by myself. When I lived at home, my mom had always put a cross above my door that was blessed. Now that I have my own house, I received a new cross for a gift and wanted to get it blessed but am not sure what to do. I am Catholic, but no not attend church regularly. How can I get this cross blessed? What do I have to do, and do I pay to have it done? Thanks in advance for the help.

So, I can sit and watch Bill Mahr and laugh at (most of) the things he says about Christians/religious people.

I laugh when someone tells me a joke(whether light hearted or not) about Mormons.

I laugh at South Park, Family Guy, etc. when they make fun of religion...

I don't see why we should get so upset about stuff like that. Now, I understand if someone is attacking you maliciously for your belief that you get upset...but when it's just making fun of it, we should be able to laugh it off and go on...

Agree?

If so, is that fair?

So, I keep getting these emails from this Christian guy who is accusing me of hating Christians, of being judgemental, and refusing to apologize (for what, I havent a clue...) Is this true? Do many of you feel I am a Christian hater or basher??

Here are some samples of what he says: "After reading your most recent email about my 'judgments' of you, I couldn't help but laugh. You just talk in circles. Buddy, you have absolutely no idea what it means to be a hypocrite, and as a matter of fact, I think this shows you're probably a very sheltered person (yes, Im a criminal investigator and Ive lived all over the world - some sheltered life Ive led, eeh?). I also find it to be humorous that you spend so much time arguing with Christians over their beliefs when you really have no understanding of our beliefs. For one, you have no idea what it means to judge. The type of judgment that Christianity prohibits is entirely different from the one you're talking about.

I believe my family, or at least just the women, have a curse on them/us. Do you believe in curses? What is your "curse"? what to do?

I often hear pro-lifers talk about how unborn children have just as much worth as any other human... but somehow I doubt they really believe that.

What would you do in this situation....

You're in a clinic that is about to blow up... you can either save an unconscious up-for-adoption child... or you can save 600 embryos, each with say, 33% of becoming full healthy humans.

Which would you save? Don't come up with ridiculous "option # 3" scenarios for this question.

What is your reasoning for your decision? Note - either way, nobody will physically or emotionally suffer, the child is without parents & unconscious. The embryos, if chosen, will become 200 healthy people. (200 is 33% of 600... in case you missed that ;))

I've noticed in conversations with several people that they identify themselves as "Christian" and refuse to elaborate any further. Even if you ask them whether they are Baptist, Presbyterian, Catholic, or whatever, they say, "Just Christian".

What church is teaching their members to not identify their religion by its denominational name?

When you are born you don't know ANYTHING. You are essentially born an atheist.

for the past month I have been getting a VERY strong feeling to go buy an ouija board. I haven't. The feelings have started right after my boyfriend's mother died unexpectedly.. two days after I thought what I would do if she died not knowing she was sick .... and then 2 weeks after she died a friend of mine was murdered..... I don't understand why I am getting these feelings of buying one...... like I said .. I haven't .

I recieve emails from many people but mainly Christians. I use logic back and forth. most are very polite to begin with. THEN they realize I am not going to be "saved". Or I bust so many holes in their Ideas that they become hostile. Or resort to calling me names saying I will be sorry on judgement day.

Do you think that it is because they are afraid I am right and it is a defense reaction? Or deep down they are the mean vile wicked people they have always been? Seems like their ZEN or Salvation gets lost quick.
