Hello Yahoo people.

This is a true story without emblishment. I feel I have some inkling of proof that God is real. I have partially made up my mind, but then again, might as well try for truth by concensus.

This is what happened to me:

1) When I tried to kill myself during an unrequited love episode I recieved a sign for God, or maybe not. I was walking to buy some antifreeze and then I kept saying “Where is God?”. To hide the stuff from my Mom I hide it in a cardboard box. Then when I was about to drink it I notice a piece of paper at the bottom of said box. It was a mailout from a local charity asking for donations. It said “Because of your donations Anna didn’t kill herself”. I took this as a sign that God may be watching me.

Reason to believe: Because I would have died.
Reason not to believe: Random concidence.

2) I was reading the experience of some guy who said he died. He published a book about it in 1994. It predicted the financial crisis.

Reason to believe: Predicted event before it occoured.
Reason not to believe: Lucky guess

3) I was talking with the psychic a while back and she mentioned that my Mom had 4 kids that died before my sister and me. It happened to her because she was on medication and had difficulty having healthy kids.

Reason to believe: Got info from ???
Reason not to believe: Lucky guess

4) My Mom had a near death thing herself when she said she saw her Dad and then said she wanted to come back to get married

Reason to believe: She innocent in mindset and would be a unlikely liar.
Reason not to believe: It’s in her head.

5) Recently I went to the casino and prayed to God to help out (a little). I had about 100 and turned it into 2000+. However I tried some math experiments and got the same result, up by 2000 and then I lost about 1400 of it.

Reason to believe: Did God answer my prayer.
Reason not to believe: Probability estimates (which is actually dumb luck and gambler’s facilicy).

I could add more but those are the main ones. Have I crossed the line into madness or is this legit? Also I try to behave good, but recently fear has gripped me, and now I’m angry and upset all the time. People think I’ve crossed into full blown insanity.

It’s not only this stuff it’s also…

Unrequited love.
Girlfriend died in the past
People stole thousands of dollars off of me.
Been harassed and bullied in the past.
Been used without proper reconition.
Depressed and moody all the time.
Self diagonised with asperger’s syndrome, suicidal for over half my life.
People look at me funny on the street now, stress written on my face.

Also other stuff, but too embrassed and ashamed to mention.

So the answer I want is:

Am I crazy?
Is God real?

jo0o0osh asked:


I’m an American Muslim, and I converted to Islam when I was just a child, both me and my mother did after she married an arab.. 15 years laters and now I’m here in the states after living in the middle east all this time and I’ve been here for close to about 15 months, I live alone with my grandparents because I need a place to stay while I’m going to college.. It’s been all work and studying for me as I’m a very serious person and I don’t go out besides to school and to the masjid/mosque/house of prayer every Friday… Everything was fine until about a month ago when my grandparents and family members who live with me, indirectly how they think that Islam is too extreme and that I follow it too strongly.. Only because I don’t drink, I don’t eat pork, and I view gambling as haram (a sinful act). My family calls me an extremist, in a jokingly way, however it’s been a very stressful time for especially moving away from all my family friends in the middle east to a new country and a place where I’m alone, so to speak. All my family, besides my step father, siblings and mother are catholics.. and I love them dearly, however how can I tell them to respect me and respect my decision as being a muslim and living the life style I do.. My family likes to party and have fun (especially hold poker nights or go to the casinos), whereas I like to be in my room, reading a book, watching a movie or studying, as compared to going out and having fun.. Because of how I live my life, they judge me on that.. It’s been stressing me out and I don’t know what to do..

This was found in my parents’ house, but it isn’t theirs:

On one side, there is a bearded figure (probably a saint, perhaps St. Benedict) holding a cross in one hand and an open book (Bible?) on the other arm. Text around the edge:
EIVS IN OBITV NRO PRAE SENTIA MVNIAMVR
There are dots between the words. Left of the Saint:
CRVX
S PA
TRIS
(Again, dots between the words) Right of the Saint:
BEN
EDIC
TI
Under the Saint:
EX S.M. CASINO
MDCCCLXXX (maybe an I after this)
(Obviously 1880 or 1881)

On the other side around the edge:
S-M-Q-L-I-V-B
PAX
V-R-S-N-S-M-V

There is a cross in the middle which reads horizontally:
ND S MD
and vertically:
CSSML

There are four letters in circles in the quadrants around the cross:
Upper left: C
Upper right: S
Lower left: P
Lower right: B

Thanks for your help!

Adrian W asked:

Reading Ian Fleming’s ” Casino Royale (getting in tune for the next Bond film) and came across an intersting passage where Ian Fleming’s character revealed an interesting thought:

“God and the devil…God is a clear image, you can see every hair on His beard. But the Devil. What does he look like?”
He further shows ideas of what we know about both.
“There’s a Good Book about goodness and how to be good and so forth, but there’s no Evil Book about being evil and how to be bad. The Devil has no prophets to write his Ten Commandments and no team of authors to write his biography. His case has gone completely by default .”

No offense to the conflicting image of God…male female or what not. the basic idea here is that man (and woman) have an idea of God…His/Her intentions, rules and history. What do we know of the Devil?

Blunder Forward asked:

Our family goes back 7 generations into a church that is very authoritarian and righteous. When I announce at Christmas my determination to leave the church, it will cause a schism. But I feel I must do the right thing before I pass away. I am now 78 years of age with a progressively worsening heart condition.

If you are an exmormon, please list for me topics so I may research and present the laundry list of why I am leaving the fold.

How I want to stay, but the hypocrisy and unkindness has simply gone too far.

Please tell me what to look into, or give me a website to offer to my children and grandchildren, in case they want to see I am not being foolish.

I already know about Mark Hofmann, Paul Dunn, The Mountain Meadows Massacre, Solomon Spaulding, The Book of Abraham, LDS Casino Management and Obama-Reid-Pelosi meetings. What other devious acts has the LDS church been involved in, that is not commonly known? Thank you.

chubbiguy40 asked:

Let me preface my question with some personal information:
I am an Atheist ( don’t try to convert me ),
I am NOT judgemental towards anyones beliefs regardless of whether I agree with or disagree with them.
I read this Christian story about a deck of cards ( Most Atheists actually know alot about and can qoute the bible even though we don’t believe ) The story uses a deck of cards to substitute for a bible when a returning soldier has no bible for church service.
Enjoy the story.
My question is will Christians accept that all Atheists are not bad???
During the North African Campaign, a bunch of soldier boys had been on a long hike. They arrived in a little town called Casino. The next morning being Sunday, several of the boys went to church. A sergeant commanded the boys in church.
After the Chaplain read the prayer, the text was taken up next. Those of the boys that had a prayer book took them out. One boy had only a deck of cards, and he spread them out. The sergeant saw the cards and said, “Soldier, put away those cards.” After the service was over, the soldier was taken prisoner and brought before the Provost Marshal.
The Marshal said, “Sergeant, why have you brought this man here?”
“For playing cards in church, Sir,” was the response.
The Marshal asked the soldier, “And what have you to say for yourself, son?”
“Much, Sir,” replied the soldier.
The Marshal stated, “I hope so, for if not I will punish you more than any man was ever punished.”
The soldier said, “Sir, I have been on the march for about six months. I have neither bible nor a prayer book, but I hope to satisfy you, sir, with the purity of my intentions.” And with that, the boy started his story …
“You see, sir, when I look at the Ace, it reminds me that there is but one God.
And the deuce reminds me that the bible is divided into two parts: the Old and the New Testaments.
When I see the trey, I think of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
And when I see the four, I think of the four evangelists who preached the Gospel: there was Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
And when I see the five, it reminds me of the five wise virgins who trimmed their lamps; there were ten of them: five were wise and were saved, five were foolish and were shut out.
When I see the six, it reminds me that in six days God made this heaven and earth.
And when I see the seven, it reminds me that on the seventh day, God rested from his great work.
And when I see the eight, I think of the eight righteous persons that God saved when he destroyed the earth: there was Noah, his wife, their sons and their wives.
And when I see the nine, I think of the lepers our saviour cleansed, and that nine of the ten didn’t even thank him.
When I see the ten, I think of the ten commandments that God handed down to Moses on a tablet of stone.
When I see the King, it reminds me that there is but one King of Heaven, God Almighty.
And when I see the Queen, I think of the blessed Virgin Mary who is the Queen of Heaven.
And the Jack or Knave is the Devil.
When I count the number of spots in a deck of cards, I find 365, the number of days in a year.
There are 52 cards, the number of weeks in a year.
There are four suits, the number of weeks in a month.
There are twelve picture cards, the number of months in a year.
There are thirteen tricks, the number of weeks in a quarter.
So you see, Sir, my deck of cards serves me as a bible, an almanac and a prayer book.”

BATMAN asked:

The writers of this book are convinced that another major theological development is called for in this last part of the twentieth century. The need arises from growing knowledge of Christian origins, and involves a recognition that Jesus was (as he is presented in Acts 2.21) `a man approved by God’ for a special role within the divine purpose, and that the later conception of him as God incarnate, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity living a human life, is a mythological or poetic way of expressing his significance for us. This recognition is called for in the interests of truth….For Christianity can only remain honestly believable by being continuously open to the truth.

The original Trinity concept was not in the Original books? So whom started this idea in 1611 and 325CE for their own greed? Surely they didn’t want to gamble in the church but making a casino with the Romans, well thats ok, right?
Some three centuries after Jesus’ death, culminating with the Nicene Conferences of 325 A.D., a politically motivated church solidified the doctrine of `God Incarnate.’ In THE MYTH OF GOD INCARNATE (Ibid., p. 17), Francis Young makes an interesting and critical observation, pointing out that the focus of the Gospels is quite different from that of Jesus’ own teachings:
Young goes farther, arguing that Paul never claimed Jesus was God (Ibid., p. 20-22). Whether Paul himself believed Jesus to be God, or not, it was the Pauline tradition which eventually developed the doctrine of God incarnate, culminating with its formal doctrinal statement in the Nicene Creed.
