I have browsed over some of the topics. And I get the feeling that their are a lot of different ideas on exactly what the Christian faith is. If anyone could please let me know your opinion on this. It doesn't have to be 400 pages long (please NOOOOOOO) just a sentence or paragraph will be sufficent.

Actually, I think you'll find that no one holds Pastafarianism to be a real religion, and if they do, then they are in the wrong, because it was originally intended as a satire of appeals for intelligent design to be taught alongside evolution in science classes.

See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastafarianism

quote:
The same goes for the christian faith and those who call themselves denominational churches. Most of the time there are many misinterpretations of the christian bible and faith, thus making them hypocrites


"Denominational churches" is pretty much a non-sensical term. All churches of one denomination or another, all of which are sub-branches of Christianity. It's just that you're particular branch, which has only been around since the mid-1900s, have decided to read the Bible as if it were literal and inerrant, in the same way that radical Muslim's read the Koran as if it were literal and inerrant. However, the vast majority of Christians, including theologians who will have read the Bible in a great deal more detail than any Christian alive today (and I'm thinking chiefly here of someone like Thomas Aquinas).

quote:
All Faiths of the world have different views on the same truth in a way.


However, I don't understand how you began with this quotation, and then went on to argue what you in fact went on to argue. Can you explain how you reconcile those two elements of thought?

Most of the time there are many misinterpretations of the christian bible and faith, thus making them hypocrites. A good example of a mistaken church of sorts who call themselves christian are the Pastafanarians-The Church of The Flying Spaghetti Monster. They claim to be christian yet the bash christianity and God.

The christian isnt something that you can touch or see is something serious, not something that you think has to do with tacos!basically what im trying to say is that when you have faith in the lord he answers you that is the true christian faith with out faith your person wouldnt be the one right now. in some cases people think they need to see to believe but when you dedicate your life to Jesus you need to believe in order to see......have faith in the lord and he will answer your prayers. God bless you. Smile

books that show you how to 'read' tarot cards. they're kind of all the same general meanings for each card in the deck so it doesn't really matter what book.

yes it is based on your birthday too.

there's also a lot of websites that will read your cards for free and it will tell you what card thing you are.

hmm i'll try to find a good one if anyone is at all interested but if no one cares i won't. ^.^

all ya gots to do is look in a tarot card book thing and it says your "main card."

The month's elements are earth, air, water, fire and it coincides with your zodiac symbol. So jan. is earth, feb is air, march is water, april is fire. then it just repeats itself until the end of the year.

we weren't. she wanted us to ask so she could showcase her infinite, albeit random, wisdom.

lol, my tarot card is the queen of wands. I am born in April which is a "fire" element month. The wands suit is air. When fire behaves like air it is considered a rainbow.

like if earth were to act like fire it is called a "volcano"

and if air acted like fire it's a tornado.

yes i used to be into all that mumbojumbo wiccan bs.
