The only time I was taught about saints was in my confirmation class in the Methodist Church. They consider Christians to be saints because of the grace of Jesus. The Catholic idea of Saints doesn't really bother me though because I think if you pray to one, Jesus hears the prayer at the same...

I used to work in restaurants that celebrated St. Patrick's Day with Irish food like Corned Beef and Cabbage and beer. I'm not a member of a church that recognizes Saints in the Catholic sense, but I do see the historical merit of Saint Patrick's life and Sainthood, which is formally designated...

Most of my family from the past 7 or 8 generations are buried in Baptist Church cemeteries in Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee. I touch the grave stones and look at the old pictures, but the deceased are in Heaven, and with me or my family is the only place where their soul sleeps other than with...

I'm pretty sure women don't run all Protestant churches. Southern Baptist Convention?

I have two male roommates, and one of them owns the house we live in. He's also mentally ill and has been hospitalized twice for uncontrollable manic episodes. I started having to cook him dinner a while ago, which I truly didn't like, but I got over it, and now I keep hamburger helper cooked in...

I flirted a little bit. ;-)

I disarmed a young black thug on the street last week who was about to rob me while I was walking to get my car from the shop, and now he's my friend. I talked him out of it. Do you think the old ladies on this site have skills like that? Come again.

The men commit murders because the women have taken over and don't know how to settle the men. You're right that Jesus can do better than anyone. He was a man!

Sufism is mystic Islam, and I think it's supposed to be more moderate and maybe less associated with violence than some other strands of Islam. These are Sufi poems by Rumi: Poems by Rumi And the video below is supposed to be Sufi music with Istanbul in the background in the picture.

I'm not sure what to think of Islam at this point in life. I read an article that said Queen Elizabeth is descended from the Prophet Muhammed through some relation to the Spanish nobility, and I think she has good relations with Muslims in Britain. I've personally been on an interfaith visit to...

Last year, I had a minor sinus surgery, and a close friend had heart surgery around the same time in Nashville. We were both kind of in a state of despair beforehand, although your condition sounds much more complicated. We decided that going to the doctor in Nashville was a form of religious...

It was probably more a form of exercise. Where do you people come from?

A female friend took me to a non-denominational Pentecostal church on Wednesday, and the preacher spent too much time talking about the rocks in the fertile soil in one of the Parables, and my friend told me she loved me after the service, and I wasn't trying to date her. Sometimes you try to be...

I think the Christian Church went through a lot of good changes over the past 500 years, but the women taking over WASN'T one of the good parts. One of the last things my favorite great grandmother said to me before she died was, "What's wrong with the world today is that the women have taken...

Some sexually repressed woman I know said something like that to me, and I just assumed she was looking for sex.

I think most people have genealogy like that. It's just hard to document. Somebody I'm distantly related to went to London and got documents supporting it. It was on ancestry.com. I don't have kids, but I have a niece and cousins with children. I'm thinking about writing a book because I have a...

I'm trying to loose weight right now. I usually gain when I drink beer, eat a lot of fast food, and don't exercise. I haven't had alcohol since before Christmas, I'm trying to cut back on fast food, and I've been to the gym every day for the past two weeks. I use weight machines one day for...

I guess I skipped over the part that happened after he rose from the tomb but before going to heaven. I don't remember all the details, but I have read the four Gospels. Matthew 28:1-10 KJV 1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene...

I said Jesus died on the cross and went to Heaven in my first post, so I'm not sure why you said I didn't mention the Resurrection. By the way, Vladimir the Great is one of my 33rd great grandfathers, and his baptism is credited with the Christianization of the Kievan Rus'. The Rus' princes...
