idupaul:
I love being a Christian, but i started to freak out as the dream re ocurred over and over again, i just woke up from an afternoon nap minutes ago and the same dream happened again but this time i wasn't sitting and listening to a sermon, i was on a horse protecting the man that usually preached the sermon in that giant mosque. Sha i think my mind is playing tricks on me.My only fear is that i know of a family years ago whose first son had such dreams and today they are all muslims. I need ur prayers ooo

I would like to have this kind of dream, just to see if I'll turn muslim.

Unfortunately, the muslims themselves will tell me to go back to Christianity if I ever do such a thing.

They so dont need my type analysing their imams and their religion. And them no go fit put fatwa on me because na them head them go take carry the fatwa.

yeah right. Dream ko nightmare ni.

Josh, really, no fronting; I'D have preferred your post was left alone. The girl isn't pretty, but she isn't bad either. At least, people could see what an A to DD boob job would look like. Anyone who gets a kick out of that, that's their thing.

tpia: if you've got context, just provide it. Else, you'll just be sounding like you're simply pissed. Now, that's not good enough. You're pissed, then you do sth about it. You like David, don't you?

pissed at what?

I'm simply pointing out what's going on here.

I'm just checking out the thread and noticed your first post was something that had been previously analyzed. Huxley even provided a picture/cartoon with his own. Everything else in that other thread matches what you're posting here almost word for word. Give or take some office editing.


I'll get back to David some other time maybe. You sound like you want to make this a long thread, so lets see what you got first.

There are innumerable things to contest in the bible, for people who feel like doing that, so whats the rush?

Anyone who has attended Sunday School, or otherwise paid attention to bible stories would likely have found interesting stories. From curiously great heroism, to some uncomfortable moments, and particularly stories from the Hebrew and Aramaic scirptures, or the Old Testament. It could be enlightening to get questioned by little and not so little kids about bible stories; there have been moments of flashes of brilliant light, and it's been rewarding to re-read stories read as kids, finding new perspectives and asking new questions.

"Stories from Sunday School" will attempt to collate inspiring and intriguing stories from the most distributed, the most translated, and perhaps the most inspiring religious book around today, the Bible. This is not a Christian-bashing thread. Christians are welcome to post their insights and understanding. Perhaps we'll leran a few things; perhaps we'll find new common grounds; and perhaps, we'll get those moments when the true answer to a story is the admission that response is 'impossible'.

I start with one scary one involving kids.

Kings 2:23-25

23 From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. “Go on up, you baldhead!” they said. “Go on up, you baldhead!” 24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths. 25 And he went on to Mount Carmel and from there returned to Samaria.

First impressions: First time I read this, it was, well, weird. Occassionally, playful kids taunt people who look different. But death by mauling by bears? That's one heck of a way to go. Not pretty; not very nice. A bunch of kids fooling around and screaming, and they get to be eaten by bears; the sight must've been, er, yuck. How did Elisha feel afterwards? We don't get to know.

What comes to mind is that image of Jack Nicholson as Melvin Uddal in "As Good as it Gets"; when Melvin goes to find his favourite waitress, and the kids begin to scream: "Melvin, Melvin, "; Nicholson steps forward and, waving his arm, shouts, commandingly: 'Shut up, Kids!' Or words to that effect. There was silence. The kids in Elisha's kids never stood a chance; or did they?

Two bears. . . One heck of a way to go.

I see you're here as a backup/replacement for Huxley, with Chrisbegenor as your sidekick to forestall anyone in danger of rocking the boat.

This topic has been discussed here before. Huxley raised the same question, and various people responded.

Now, its up to the enquirer if s/he actually wants to understand a context, or if he/she is only interested in seeing the world from their own viewpoint inside the cave, not outside of it.

Funny too, that you don't see any parallels with ancient or modern middle eastern culture, in this story.
