I have the entire King James Bible in PDF file format (which is searchable) and I did a search for the word "purgatory" to see where in the Holy Bible it is. The search turned up 0 results. The Holy Bible doesn't make any...

rayf227 @rayf227 (95) • United States 24 Jul 12

I get into these debates with people about abortion, and some of them me that pregnancy is really a very bad thing to happen to a woman. She suffers a lot, and may in fact risk her life when she gets pregnant. They also tell me...

Why does abortion exist?

rayf227 @rayf227 (95) • United States 22 Jul 12

There has been a lot of controversy about abortion, and it's a very hot topic. Most people who support abortion tell you that they support it because they don't want any back alley abortions. But I've heard that there might be...

Do you believe in NDE's?

rayf227 @rayf227 (95) • United States 9 Jul 12

NDE means Near Death Experience. It happens when people die, like on an operating table, and they stay dead for a few minutes or even as long as 30 minutes. What happens then is that the doctors and nurses work very hard to revive...

For those of you who know about Scientology...

Tom Cruise and Katy Holmes are breaking up and I hear it's because Tom, who believes in Scientology, wants their kid (a little girl I think) to get initiated into that religion. And I wondered. Does Scientology have a...

Two Sins That I Don't Understand

rayf227 @rayf227 (95) • United States 30 Jun 12

The first one is that we are not to use the Lords name in vain. But I don't know what it really means. Does it mean saying God d***? Or saying "Jesus Christ!" when you're surprised or shocked. Or is it something else...

Manny Pacquiao is the real champion.

rayf227 @rayf227 (95) • United States 10 Jun 12

Did anyone catch the Manny Pacquiao / Tim Bradley fight tonight? If you did, you might be scratching your head at this one. Manny obviously won tonight but was denied a rightful win by two of the three judges, who incredibly (and...

When you respond to someone's post, do you include tags?

rayf227 @rayf227 (95) • United States 7 Jun 12

Tags are useful when you have a webpage, but do tags really help you when you respond to someone's post? I skip the tags more often than I use them. I see the Tsgs section, and I get real lazy, so I skip it. But if I start a...

Have you ever tried to write a novel?

rayf227 @rayf227 (95) • United States 23 May 12

As a kid, I tried. But it was futile. I just didn't have any idea what to write, or how to write but my years, and the experiences I've gained in life has changed me enough that maybe I should try it again. The only problem is...

To Enjoy Life You Must Suffer First

rayf227 @rayf227 (95) • United States 19 May 12

I've heard this before. I think it's a Buddhist concept, but I think the theory goes that in order to know what true happiness is, you must first suffer. I think that if you go through life struggling and suffering some of the...

Are you a Techie computer user?

rayf227 @rayf227 (95) • United States 18 May 12

This is my first discussion, and I was curious about how many of you are Techie computer users (by Techie, I mean technically inclined). I think if you're more knowledgeable about your computer than the usual computer user, you'll...
