    Legalization of drugs

    Alcohol can be consumed in moderation without harmul effects to the personal body or impairing an individual where others safety is at risk, but isn't the point of smoking marijuana to get high, and getting high is the result no matter what? Not everyone drinks to get drunk - which is where I...

    Have any of you had an overwhelming religious experience?

    The gradual progression of me realizing that I didn't buy into Christianity/Jesus, that it felt so wrong to the point of making me physically ill, and figuring out how to go on WITH faith and WITHOUT that one component that burned fear into my psyche for 20 years, was most definitely life...

    Question about the Resurrection of the Dead

    I hadn't thought of that...that definitely makes sense. Cremation gives me the heebie jeebies anyway. As for treating the body with respect, what are the thoughts on piercings, tattoos, cosmetic surgeries...permanent alterations to the body that aren't necessary? Is this condemned, acceptable...

    Question about the Resurrection of the Dead

    Is the resurrection spiritual or physical? I've heard that some Catholic Christians are against cremation because they believe in a similar, literal/physical concept, and that your body needs to be preserved (even if decayed) to be brought back for the soul to re-enter (or something like that)...

    "Jew"nitarian?

    Levite?! xkatz = Levite?? Now I feel really stupid...I've spoken to him on a few other occassions when I was feeling brave enough to pop out of lurkerdom in the Judaism forum a few months ago and he was so understanding and helpful with my questions. Here I've been talking to a rabbi all...

    "Jew"nitarian?

    I have only a few times and the conversations are usually short and a little uncomfortable. I think he is very much attached to the traditions that come with Christianity, ie: holidays, family ties, etc, and not the religion itself. We agree on most basic priniciples, with the exception of...

    "Jew"nitarian?

    It is broad, you're right, and sometimes almost not like a religion at all and instead more of a common-interest club. I agree with a lot of their ideologies but it's the varying and inconsistant theologies that worry me, like you pointed out. I guess because of my fear of rejection from the...

    Movies You've Seen Recently

    Had a double feature day with the hubby last weekend and saw Inception and The Expendables. I really enjoyed Inception, though it's a film I need to see a few more times to pick up on and clarify everything...so much was explained so fast that I needed a rewind not offered at the theater! The...

    Tattoo Ideas

    Nah, I think it'd be sleek and sexy either way...it has a Native American feel to it which is beautiful. Mine on the other hand are very girly...two dolphins with a sunset and gemini symbol, and the other a tribal/floral tattoo for my daughter. Now if you had anything like that your...
