Hello Chris, The way I see it, is that what people normally call faith is grounded on need. The need of safety and security, the need of acceptance from God and others, guilty? the need to make amends. Apart from love, the biggest need I think is to transform your present reality to the hope of...

Quid=Pound. A bob is slang for old currency not in circulation anymore (non-decimal), is a fraction of a pound, don't know the proper name.

What about the film "A beautiful mind" where the people he saw where a creation of his own mind, the three imaginary people fulfilled a psychological need analogous to coping mechanisms. It is a possibility that some of these experiences are the result of mental disorders, how can you tell the...

I've seen the australian one, quite convincing except that you never hear that the actual cases get resolved. All the clues gathered are quite suspiciously left in the air.

Your anger can be a bad thing, if say it is a reaction of childhood bad experience or bad upbringing that is unresolved. In any case if it makes you angry all the time is certainly not healthy. As far as I understand, a healthy individual will not be upset by the trials and limitations of...

The Buddha story, where a ruler asks some blind folk to describe an elefant. For the one who grasped the leg, the elefant was described as a leg, for the one who grasped the trunk the elefant was described as a trunk, etc. All gave accurate accounts of the parts they touched, none of them was...

He who can follow these three rules is sure to be called the finest. When people are worried about the safety of the roads, if they hear that one traveler in a party of ten has been murdered, then fathers and sons, elder and younger brothers will warn each other to be careful and will not...

Perhaps when you refer to converting, but in the larger scheme of things that statement feels demeaning to me. I've met some JFJ, while it is true that one of their main concerns is to "save" other Jews, rightly or wrongly that is what they believe genuinely. They are also proud of their...

Oviously not the whole sermon, otherwise it would have been too long. Watch the program and tell us what you think.

Hello Thomas!

Well, it is not a documentary, it is really a journalistic expose, so for that reason they only focus on the heart of the matter. They filmed preaching undercover inside the mosques, but more disturbingly a good chunk of the material came from DVDs that you can purchase in a normal Muslim...

Scary stuff. Dispatches - Undercover Mosque - Google Video

Wil, you are way beyond standards of decency! :eek: I don't think it ever crossed my mind to eat raw octopus or squid, well maybe with a bit of lemon juice I could.:)

Delicious, really!:D

Nah, you are as good as chips.:)

Does someone know how this law will affect churches? I mean what are the practical implications of such a law for those churches and individuals that reject homosexuality if any. I'm just wondering if the opposition to this law is a matter of principle, or if there are indeed deep...

I have no idea what you are talking about, as far as I can see you have pink hair. Regarding the hair, perhaps you should choose a color that is contrasting with your purple eyes. Don't forget the mohican detail.
