Why Christians Drive Me to Drink...

Religion What is your take on religion? Do you base your thoughts in life according to your religion? Do you feel that religion should be kept out of Government and Politics?

I am not a human being having a spiritual experience, I am a spiritual being having a human experience.

Stop the madness before us it stops!

On the other hand, back to the original topic of this thread: There is no question that the most unappealing thing about Christianity is some of the people who claim to be Christians.

That is rather profound...

KING HUSSEIN OF JORDAN: "Leap of Faith," Queen Noor, Miramax Books, Hyperion, New York, NY, pp 235-236. For a book review of this amazing humanitarian book click here

He also had an episode of arrhythmia, a condition he had lived with since the 1970s, which required him to take anticoagulants to thin his blood. While his arrhythmia was not life-threatening, the medication was.

It nearly killed him in January 1984. I was in Aqaba with official guests waiting for Hussein to join us from Amman when I received an emergency phone call informing me that my husband was critically ill. I immediately flew back to Amman to find that Hussein had very nearly bled to death. He had been walking from the Diwan to Al Nadwa with his brother, Crown Prince Hassan, when he had suddenly developed a nosebleed. Because of the anticoagulants, the nosebleed had quickly turned into a full-blown hemorrhage. His doctor arrived quickly, but Hussein's face was already the color of chalk. When he lost consciousness the palace physician could find no pulse. My husband was, for all intent and purposes, dead.

He was stable when I arrived, having been revived after receiving several transfusions. "I felt no pain, no fear, no worries," he said to me later. "I was a free spirit, floating above my own body. It was rather a pleasant feeling, really." He described what is frequently referred to as a near-death experience: He saw a "bright light," felt "relaxed," and realized he was "going." "I must get back," he kept telling himself. "I must get back." And with the immediate medical care he received, he did.

Anita M's NDE. English expanded version 8/21/06 From Hong Kong
I was drifting in and out of consciousness during this time, and I could feel my spirit actually leaving my body. I saw and heard the conversations between my husband and the doctors taking place outside my room, about 40 feet away down a hallway. I was later able to verify this conversation to my shocked husband. Then I actually "crossed over" to another dimension, where I was engulfed in a total feeling of love. I also experienced extreme clarity of why I had the cancer, why I had come into this life in the first place, what role everyone in my family played in my life in the grand scheme of things, and generally how life works. The clarity and understanding I obtained in this state is almost indescribable. Words seem to limit the experience – I was at a place where I understood how much more there is than what we are able to conceive in our 3-dimensional world. I realized what a gift life was, and that I was surrounded by loving spiritual beings, who were always around me even when I did not know it.
[Exceptional NDE due to nearly fatal Hodkin’s Lymphoma (malignancy of the lymphatic system). From Hong Kong, this is a relatively rare non-Western NDE, and the most detailed non-Western NDE we have received to date. Exceptional insights and apparent miraculous healing associated with NDE.]
Thanks, intangible!

Vegans don't eat worms, because worms are animals. Vegans don't even eat honey because bees MADE it. I think you are incorrect.

I think you missed the joke.

But beyond that, why is it okay to eat a living vegetable, but not eat the honey from bees?

It isnt in Leviticus. Its in Revelations 22:18-19 The last page of the bible. So yes, everything AFTER this is wrong.
