Ok, so this was back in "the day" when I was smoking pot every now and then (but never anything worse than that, and I only smoked it rarely).

One summer I was playing with a Ouija board with some friends and it didn't work so we threw it away. Ever since then, I had this weird urge to carry a cross with me even though I wasn't religious and I felt a 'presence' around me or something. Creeped me out!!

Then, come fall, there was frost on my window right next to my bed.. which wasn't anything out of the normal. But, one morning, I woke up and I remember seeing in CAPS the word SATAN spelled out on my window from the frost! I even saw a pentagon next to it. I was so freaked out that this was done by the frost that I jumped out of bed, ran to my mom and showed it to her. She WIPED IT OFF with a paper towel and a very concerned look (not sure if it was for me or regarding me). She wouldn't discuss the issue further.

Do you think?

I am having a $100 dinner per person along with drinks, appetizers, and so forth. I have a huge family and so does my fiancee--totalling about 200 persons on both sides. The total guests are 300. How can I get relatives to help fund my wedding because they are all affluent, but I am not working and fiancee just landed a job, so $$ is questionable right now, but we want to keep up with Jones's as all my relative's weddings were lavish.

just curious why so many good people with bright futures who've done nothing harmful in their lives die for NO godd*amn reason? Suffer for no reason? Starve for no reason? Get molested daily for no reason?

I know basically everyone in the world thinks they are wack jobs, but I'd be curious to know who actually agrees with them. I personally think that they are just a bunch of inbred pieces of trash that have nothing better to do than hate anyone and everyone they can. This being said, is there anyone that actually agrees with them, and if so WHY?!?!?!?!?!?

If you find yourself wanting to mock, please refrain from the usual schoolyard bullying if possible.

Jesus often scolded religious people, he always took time to reach out to sinners and those that "religious" people scorned.
many of the religious rituals and traditions we see were never taught by Jesus or the Apostles.
or can not be found in the bible.
PLEASE; no bashing .
I think men have drifted away from the message of Jesus and the free gift of salvation thru his sacrfice, and burdened people with religious rituals.
do you think this has caused Christianity to get a bad rap?

the "eternal damnation of torment and suffering" hell that christians keep whining about.

This is it. Here and now. we all died, and were born stright into Hell.

No way out, cause when you die, you just get born back here again!

ideas of salvation are just there to torment us with false hope.

am i the only person that sees this?

If you were raised away from any sorts of religion. If you had never heard of Jesus or God, and then one day, you hear your friend talking about a being in the sky who does all the wonderful things he does, wouldn't you think he was absolutely crazy?


Now you might know how I feel.





"If you want to get together in any exclusive situation and have people love you, fine- but to hang all this desperate sociology on the idea of The Cloud-Guy who has The Big Book, who knows if you've been bad or good- and CARES about any of it- to hang it all on that, folks, is the chimpanzee part of the brain working." -Frank Zappa

It seems pretty common to me that a politically conservative person is usually religious. Do you (as a person of religion) let your faith control every decision you make? Is religious influence the reason that conservative political parties seem more united? If this is the case, who is really making the moral decisions?

It is black, and very fat (no bills inside, just coins). It has been missing for about 2-3 days now. I feel like I've turned my house upside down looking. Any ideas?

You can read my last several questions to verify this. I've been diagnosed terminally ill and been on a quest to prove God exists for 2 years. I would always have this thought pop into my mind "In time I will know" Well that time came last night.

I was sound asleep at about 3am I started to wake only to my body shaking, as soon as a began to come to, a dep voice so powerful I can't really describe it came into my mind and said (i quote) My son, you are my child and what am I? I am God and you were created in my image. I ask you my son, who is God? (VERY, VERY POWERFUL) GOD IS LOVE." I sat there in a state I really cannot describe. It was a calm, yet overwhelemed feeling. Thoughts came into my mind. We are humand, created in "Gods image" We are the only beings on earth capable of experience in both giving and accepting love. If we are created in Gods image, then this is true, because God IS LOVE!

Love for your mother, your daughter, you father and eachother cannot be explained!

Religion isn't a new thing, but Christianity and actually all other religions are relatively new. You don't see anyone worshiping Roman gods or Egyptian gods now a days. Is Christianity just going to be an ancient religion in 2000 years?

Deuteronomy 4:16- 23.

Deut 4:16 states: "Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female."

Deut 4:23 states: "Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee."

If your avatar is the likeness of any living thing, you are violating God's law. Don't try to get out of it by saying that your avatar isn't a graven image, because the Bible clearly states that a "graven image OR the LIKENESS of any thing" is forbidden. For most of us on R&S, our avatar is the likeness of some living thing.

Man, are you guys in trouble.

That you have faith in something?

Not God. There would be little point. I'm not talking religion. I'm talking about other things. For examples there are plenty of things to have faith in, like science, medicine, humanity, black holes , physics(different from science because well, it's not really), motor oil, toothbrushes, laundry detergent and anything else that we aren't quite sure how it works but does.

I understand that God is not an explanation to you, that is my point. Would you ever admit to having faith that the things you don't understand just work?

^_^ Drinks are, once again, on me if neccessary.
