This is like the third time I have done this, because it spans years between when I come here and when I am not. oops
Anyway, nice to be back, I'm totoro. Yes, after the Japanese film.
Thanks for replying!
So many Christians say that God is love, and yet, it sounds like he had an awful big wrath, particularly before Jesus showed up. So do you think earthquakes and all the world tragedies come from...
Again, thank you everyone for your thoughts and experiences on the matter, Delta - I hope you can find some peace in your condition, but just know you aren't alone. Danik, thank you for the...
I can only speak for myself, but its like outside voices coming in, like a person talking to me - not sounds or thoughts that just come into my head. Its as if an actual being is holding a...
Jackson - I hear them as clear as day as if they were real. They say stuff about hell, sometimes they tell me to harm myself or someone else because thats what God wants, etc. The angels on the...
Thank you all for your thoughts, I guess it's something I never considered asking a therapist. And I'd like to extend my condolences Mona. I'm sure your father is at peace. My grandmother had...
I suffer from a disease called schizoaffective disorder, it's basically paranoid schizophrenia with bipolar. Once a couple years ago, I stopped taking my meds and started getting really really...
See to me, its like, God was there, but to everything there is an opposite. Hence where God is not, there is evil. Or at the very least a dark void of nothing, which could be a kind of evil maybe?
If I knew how that is...
OHHH, I'm so sorry I didn't know. Should I delete this then?
Sorry everyone nothing to see here. I didn't know the no politics rule, and I apologize.
Andrew Lang collected stories, he didn't claim to have written any of them. And he did write some things - like letters to dead authors, and other works. As for the fairy books, they were collected...
In case you're interested, JRR Tolkien was a huge fan of his, and even wrote an essay on his books - particularly the Lilac fairy book.
I always thought it was the other way around personally. Ursula and Birkin were always fighting about passion vs. being complete - and then one of them would say the wrong thing and the other would...
Oh okay, I gotcha. And I know what you mean, there are a lot of hypocrites out there.
I read somewhere that the movie Frozen is supposed to be based on The Snow Queen fairy tale. I'm not sure how in the world they got that out of it, because they are NOTHING alike, but I think it's...
Probably The Green Fairy Book by Andrew Lang, I always loved fairy tales and that was the first book I remember reading very clearly although I can't be exactly sure. I think for a lot of people it...
I think we need God because we need something or someone to blame for everything that goes wrong with the world, I also think we need God because it makes an interesting story/stories. I mean, why do...
Why are you being so hostile toward me, I'm not trying to be offensive here, just making discussion :)
Anyway, I don't personally believe in God, I'm just curious about people who do. My parents...
I heard a quote once that says, "You don't need religion to have morals. If you can't determine right from wrong then you lack empathy, not religion."
Yes its true that everyone falls short of...
Depends on who you are. I know quite a few people who make the Bible into their main focus. So yes, to me it matters.
Interesting, thank you :)
The Jesus I know seems like more of a character in a story book than an actual person. It's like I said in another thread, there are a lot of people who say he never existed in the first place, or if...
