Was doing religious research and I found all these, so which one is your best Mantra-Prayers? and Do you think they all are worshiping the same GOD? To me it looks there are, but differnt ways of calling and worshiping, I came to realise that is only a misunderstanding of religion that is making us hate one another,cos in reality to me is the same Living GOD everyone is calling out in veneration and deep devotion.

Re: Which Mantra-prayer Is Best For You? by thesilent1(m): 11:58am On May 29, 2007
that question can ONLY be answered by the people reciting them i guess. as for me, i can only tell you why I do.

on a different note, would you feel we need to know if there is life on other planets or solar system? i mean if we claim to have God's word, does that mean that we SHOULD know everything about other planets as we do here on earth?

i just keep having this funny thought of seeing all sorts on ressurection day and God asking why we are shocked! did we think we knew everything!!! LOL

PS - I AM A SCI-FI FREAK AND SO I HAVE A LOT OF ISSUES! LOL THIS IS NOT A DOCTRINE PEOPLE!!! SO DO NOT GET ALL THEOLOGICAL ON ME!!!!
