"In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country..." - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - New York City - September 24, 2007

It has everything they want including morality police and the death penalty for homosexuality. What are they waiting for an invitation?

I went to the doctor and he says that he can do a little liposuction around my thighs to help me get rid of that nasty cellulite. I'm hoping that this is alright with God. I just want to look fabulous, that's all!

I mean, did kids ever make fun of some of your religious beliefs?

How did it make you feel? How did you defend yourself?

I kind of have my own little theory. For one thing, Christians are an easy target what with the whole turn the other cheek and love your enemy thing. But I have been in the Yahoo Christian chat rooms and a large percentage of the people in there are atheists or satanists etc. I can't help but think that maybe deep down they must actually WANT to be convinced. Otherwise, why bother? I know they think they are intellectually superior because they believe they have a 'scientific mind' and therefore anyone who believes in him must be intellectually inferior...but still, why bother lol.

If so, why?

Can anyone provide me with a non-biased, objective link explaining Wiccan symbols?

I see a lot of people making posts about things they are struggling with and thought I would ask if I could say a prayer for anyone. I'm aware that some don't believe in prayer, and that's fine I'm not attempting to "convert" anyone to my faith. If you have something I could help you pray about please let me know. :)

(yes i know i spelled definatly wrong, who cares)

Time after time I have tried to get the "open-minded" Christians to see our side of the story, and failed miserably. So(this is for those of Christians that blame other religions and get annoyed with our presense, u know who u are..) for my next attempt, I am wanting to do a little "step in somebody elses shoes" experiment;

Think about this, You are living in a world full of "non-believers". No matter where u go there are our churches and temples on every street, people going door to door tryin to convert u to a different religion or faith, beatin u up cause u "havent found truth", blamin u for mis-happens and mayhem, wearin our religious symbols freely while u have to hide urs, have laws made against ur faiths beliefs, and bein called "evil" everywhere u turn. How would u feel? Do u think its such a happy and peaceful place?Yeah, i thought not...

Opinions anyone?Comments?

When it was transmitted orally for centuries before it was written down, was translated and retranslated, was edited by kings, presumably has pieces missing, and was written by man who is supposed to be inherently sinful. I have a hard time finding any faith with this piece alone let alone all of the other difficulties I face with it.

I've asked a similar question already, but I have a different idea.

Im trying to start a small business etching personalized mirrors. The catalog I'm working on covers alot of bases, - animals, holidays, travel, and everything in between. One section covers religious images. Instead of calling it religious symbols or religious icons... I was thinking of giving it the heading "Spiritual." Or perhaps "Inspirational."

Would either offend anyone? Which do you prefer?

If you have any take, what would you think of someone with a dime sized birthmark directly on center of their forehead, unlike anyone else? Everything God does is intentional, so what would the birthmark mean? It seems to be a blessing for the person.

If not, why not? And why should we not follow that example? Is god without morals?

Type down the word "God" in this Aramaic dictionary to find out what Jesus used to call God:

Go adopt a special needs child if you want to save someone. Or sponsor a foster family who specializes in special needs children. Save a life, instead of repeating the same old dogma to people who already know it, and will never believe it. Do something that actually does make a difference.

Looking for serious answers.
You say there is no such thing as god, or spirits, or anything like that. So then what's the point of all this?

Why do I keep coming back to Mormonism
Well I am a Universal Christian and a lot of people tell me my beliefs are almost the same as the Mormons, but I just want to know more about them and evidence in scripture that can support there beliefs and the book of Mormon.

Serious answers Pleases.

hypotheticlaly, how would you react if you talked to someone online, who insisted they were your variety of christianity(whatever that is)

this sounds fine, until they explain they also belive Jesus's miracles came from the devil, that his power came not from God, but from Evil.

that no matter how you explained that someone who belives that jesus's power was from the devil, could not really be christian, they stubbornly insisted that they were your type of christian and they belived that. and they were telling people that they were compatible.

how would you react? how would you feel? to see people teach that. to take people away from your church with these fundamentally contrary and destructive beliefs, insisting that they don't have to lose their previous beliefs.... when really it is betraying everything they belived in, to accept the other things...

I'm also curious how many people will catch on to what I'm analogizing to.
