I'm pretty sure it's religious symbolism. Is anyone familiar with anything in the Bible about Gilead?

Does being molested make you a target for other predators ? I feel like at times I have attracted people that want to violate me all over again.I was at school and this guy started talking to me like buddy buddy stuff and after a few months of that he made some joke and as if we were buddies he gently shoved me and then grabbed my breast, still laughing as if it was " just a joke ". Is there a spiritual curse or something that comes with being molested that brings incidents like this ? Is there a verse that says this ? (( Im still wondering where it says its ok for a guy to just grab my breast also...i was so shocked I just walked away. it hurt so bad it was like he was trying to molest and hurt me at the same time )).

How does one define praying "hard." Is it the length of the prayer? How much one concentrates? Which prayer you choose?

Are prayers quantitative, or qualitative? In other words, if I casually recite a dozen different prayers over and over all day, is it the same or more effective than a single prayer recited with 100% focus and intensity?

If I think about praying for someone in trouble all day long, but at the end of the day I fall asleep from exhaustion before I pray, did my sincere desire to want to pray for that person count in god's eyes (since god knows all?)

How about if I record myself reciting a prayer, and then just click a mouse button to play it back at the end of the day while I'm brushing my teeth (you know, multi-tasking)

If I can't remember the correct prayer for a certain event, can I just sincerely recite one that I know by heart (example: saying grace at a funeral?)

One of my favorite plays/movies is Inherit The Wind in which a man is put on trial for teaching evolution in an community that has found it unlawful to teach anything that goes against divine creation. Of course the prosecution has an absolute christian on their side and the defense has somewhat of an agnostic
on their side. But anyway the prosecution's front man dies in the end and the agnostic at the very end takes the bible and Darwin's origin of species and puts them together and walks out of the court room. Of course symbolizing that both could possibly coexist. So what I wanna know is it could it actually happen where evolution and creationism could coexist in the real world.

I do not believe in god. I believe that when religions were created humans did not have the knowledge we have know. They were trying to explain everything they couldn't figure out, so their explanation was to pin it all on a 'thing' they had no proof of. It might of made sense then when we were less intelligent, but now that we understand and have scientific proof of what happened, and how and why they happened, religions seem to only be for those wo are incredibly dense. I also believe that we should be proud of our accomplishments, and not thank god everytime something good happens, or say 'god decided this' or 'god meant for that to happen' when something goes wrong. We have to own up to our misfortunes, and be proud of our achievements. I think that it's ridiculous that we would make fun of someone and call them crazy if they say that they saw aliens, or something else we have no proof of, but when someone belives in god it's just a religion, and totally normal. Let me know.

I am a Roman Catholic at the moment and tomorrow, I plan to have baptized and go to the Born Again Christian belief. I planned this for a month. But then, last night I dreamed that I was walking to the dark and there was no light. I just went straight away to the path i was heading for and then i just realized I stopped at the church of born again christian then suddenly a light went on. In my dream, I was about to be baptized when the pastor of my future church deserted me as with other members and there was police......and I woke up. What does this might say?? Should I continue my changing of religion? Or does God tell me to stay?

attend?

We went for an interview yesterday with the principle and she told us he was accepted as long as we cut of his rats tail.

For those of you who may not know what this is, it's a thin plat at the base of his hair and its about 8 inches long. Maybe 1cm round

Don't you think this is being judgmental of my son who is only 5!!

How does his hair effect what he will learn or how he will behave?

My daughter has almost completed her last year at this school and we really wanted our son to go here as well as we do love it.

Should I just cut his hair off which he has had since birth??

or find him another school?

What would you do??

I myself believe if a person is truely sorry for doing wrong then they are worthy of forgiveness. The man has gone publically many times stating how sorry he was for making racist comments. I think he is genuine and desirves forgiveness. I just wonder what you think? Should people of dark skin not forgive him and hold a grudge against this man?
