    Mercury?

    If you go the cilantro route, remember to take chlorella as well. Cilantro moves mercury from your nervous system and brain, to your connective tissues, and chlorella gets it the rest of the way out your body.

    Why do all other christians seem to be so perfect?

    Why do all other Christians seem perfect? Why do a lot of Atheists seem perfect? God isn't about the material, nor would he ever reward you with it, because to trade them in exchange for salvation would be a paradox. The desire for material wealth is in essense, the opposite of God. I guess...

    Christian views on other religions.

    I see how this is true. All things material are the same, while being meaningless. I guess Yin Yang represents the material world. I think male dominated isn't an accurate term. I think what I meant is traditionally patriarchal. Yes, if it isn't his own, it wouldn't be the truth at all...

    Christian views on other religions.

    I'm beginning to think religion is what you make of it. It's what people gain from it, because when I first think of Buddhism, I get the feeling that it's lacking spirit, however, I know there are people who gain spirit from it, which I think is the ultimate goal of religion, because from spirit...

    Christian views on other religions.

    Not that I know much about religions of the world, but it seems that Islam also essentially gravitates towards basic good morality. I know there's some disagreement whether women should have to cover their faces in public, but the same could be said about the Bible mentioning that women should...

    Christian views on other religions.

    Well, from what I know of Buddhism, it teaches to detact oneself from material things, which is similar to Christianity which teaches to separate oneself from the carnal mind. Only by doing so can we reach enlightenment or salvation, respectively. Buddhism teaches to gain strength from within...

    Church search

    Hi, I'm in the midst of looking for a Roman Catholic church, but I've only ever been to church once, and that was as a child. I know there's some kind of RCIA program which I should be looking into. Apart from that I don't even know who to speak to. Would it be a priest? chaplin?

    Covert Baptism

    To be more clear, the intent was to baptize me, when I was young, because afterwards I was subtley told the water was blessed, and I think words were said by someone who might have been a minister, while I was diving for hockey pucks on the bottom (I'm not kidding). Then when I was asked if I...

    Covert Baptism

    Is it possible to have been baptized without knowing it? I mean, infants are baptized without their knowledge; is it possible to have been baptized in a swimming pool that had been blessed by Presbyterians?

    I have to get in good physical shape, but I can't do it

    I found that it was easier to loose weight when the goal wasn't to loose weight, but to have long lasting healthy habits. Being 220lbs and wishing you were 180lbs really puts a lot of pressure on oneself to loose the weight with only a superfical goal of appearance as motivation. The reality...

    does caffeiene count as a substance?

    If it's affecting your life and your behavior, then it's a substance and you're abusing it. I think that goes for almost anything.
