If you have any questions about the supernatural, feel free to ask & I'll answer to the best of my ability.
Here, I'll start: Q. What is the meaning of life?
A. It all depends on which point of view you mean.
*To humans, the only reason for them to live is to survive & hope they eventually find love. *To spirits, humans live only to be entertained by watching our lives as if they were a television show & feed off of our emotions. *To God... Well, that's a difficult question. Any prophet he sends to speak to us gets thrown into a mental institute. Since he is unwilling to give his prophets any magical protection, there is no way to stop this from happening. My best guess is that he watches our lives for entertainment.

God watches our lives to see if we can make the right choices and turn away from sins and satan and to give us guidance along the way. He doesn't just sit there and watch or anything

Our spirit guides (angels sent from God) are the one's who watch our lives to see if we can make the right choices and turn away from sins and Satan and to give us guidance along the way.
God does not. Why? Because he can't. When he created Jesus to offer his blessing to the Gentiles (no longer just the Jews), he became God to all who would accept him. As such, we are all equal in his eyes. He cannot favor one person over another.
In W.I.T.C.H.: *The Oracle would be God. *Tibor & the other council members would be the spirit guides. (If this is to be an accurate comparison, then there needs to be a lot more council members because each one would have 1-10 humans to guide. Yes, they actually need float around as spirits & act as guides as well.)

wait, did you just say "God can't"? lol, that's an oxymoron within itself. And Jesus wasn't born to bless the Gentiles. Jesus was born so that he could live a perfect life and then choose to be a sacrifice for every living person's sins so that we may be seen as perfect in God's eyes if we accept him and his son.

Even God must obey his own laws. If he didn't, then there would be little reason for his angels to follow them.
And yet, Jesus didn't live a perfect life. He vandalized a temple. He abandoned his family (all except for God). He even had premarital sex with Mary Magdalene (the prostitute). If that's an example of the perfect live, then I'll pass.
And yes, Jesus' main role was to bless the Gentiles. He might not have done much Gentile blessing himself, but his apostles did. Where do you think the name Christians came from? It was Christ.
I read the Bible from cover to cover. I'm not just making this up.

Obviously, there are no Bible phrases to prove this one. The church would never allow such a thing.
"Leonardo was a member of an ancient secret society called the Priory of Sion. This group was dedicated to preserving the truth that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene and had designated her as the leader of his movement, which is all about the appreciation of the sacred feminine in life. The Code claims that the legendary Holy Grail is really Marry Magdalene, the bloodline of the descendants she and Jesus produced, and the sacred feminine that she represents."
It seems I was wrong about premarital sex. Read the novel The Da Vinci Code by Brown or watch the film by Ron Howard with Tom Hanks for more information on this.
"Jesus and His Family. His mother and his brothers arrived, and as they stood outside they sent word to him to come out. The crowd seated around him told him, 'Your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside asking for you.' He said in reply, 'Who are my mother and my brothers?' And gazing around him at those seated in the circle he continued, 'These are my mother and my brothers. Whoever does the will of God is brother and sister and mother to me.'" (Mark Ch 3, 31-34)
"The Traders Expelled. Then he entered the temple and began ejecting the traders (forcefully knocking their inventory around & releasing their animals) saying: 'Scripture has it, "My house is meant for a house of prayer" but you have made it "a den of thieves."' (Luke Ch 19, 45-46)

(Luke Ch 19, 45-46) I am actually firmiliar with this. Jesus did this because people had turned the church from a place of prayer, worship and community, into a public market full of con men and people obsessed with material wealth. He had a right to be angry.

He may have had the right to be angry but his actions were inappropriate. Two evils do not make a right. As God's son, Jesus should have known better.

Hmm.... I don't believe in god, for my own reasons, i am certain about everything i can see, touch or feel, i believe there is stuff in the world we don't know about,i believe there are other races on other planets in the universe, i believe there are people that have slight mental powers on earth, i believe there is something after death, i do not believe in god or do i not believe in most "morals" since most of them were put in place by the ideals of the people who created up god, i do follow by them, but persecuting someone for doing something morally wrong, but legally right, should not be in place in society, i don't believe in destiny, but i do believe our genes hold preferences of the paths we are most likely to take and study into that can reveal the most possible future for everyone of us, which is completely changeable with a bit o' willpower, no offense, i believe that god was something people made up so there were the threat of hell to all, this weeds out revenge(they will get what tehy deserve in hell) and this will keep people honest and not kill or do bad stuff, which i understand back then was a good thing people believed in, now i don't think people need to believe in god and it sounds plain stupid, i am a atheist kill me, lol.

hmm..... maybe, like i said weird things to happen
though, the boy is an idiot to take a crowbar to a cat and quite honestly going that far meant he had some mental issues, cause you wouldn't do that in your right mind and it is animal cruelty so i am pretty sure you couldve taken him to the police or his parents and the fact he wen't swimming in the winter cause he got drunk just shows he is an idiot, i do believe that it couldve been a coincidence cause both thins happened for the same constant (his idiocy)

Mental issues is merely the excuse that modern society uses to hide from religion. There's only one reason why we do bad things & one reason only: demonic influence.
Did you ever wonder how sudden thoughts, urges or ideas come into your head? An urge to do something you wouldn't normally do? Most people just blow it off without paying much attention. But in reality, they are being contacted by spirits.
The urge to do evil comes from demons & devils. The urge to do good comes from angels & your spirit guides.

people are messed up because of stuff that has happened in their life or it's something they are born with. Even if I decided to do something bad, i will have my reasons to do it, not just because it's the wrong thing to do, which does not compute with Demon = Pure evil, since the way i see it it was the wrong thing to o, but for the reasons that best suited my interests. You can't tell i am close minded for not believing in god or any religion, like i said religion is something purely invented so people would live their lives according to a certain code, religion is like an older version of law, quite honestly i believe there is a bigger chance something happening at 21.12.2012 than any religion turning out to be true, anyways there are so many religions and so many variations of the religions, i think there was over 10000 different religions out there, most of them say that you go to hell or some other very bad place if you don't follow their religion, so um.... 99,99% of the world's population is going to the one bad place, also religion is something that is and forever be untrue, if 1 religion turns out to be true, it will become a fact and therefore lose the need for peopel to believe in it to keep it alive, it will always been and always be there fact so hiding from religion means hiding from believing in something that will most likely be false, mental issues are real though, since the more serious ones also have physical symptoms, not only mental symptoms of the diseases. I am not trying to stop your belief, i just wan't people to stop trying to make me believe, believe it or not, but you can justify anything with make believe, i can justify me killing half the planet with the statement: "They were aliens" and as long as i believe in that i have justified it to myself, religion is like that, "everything happens for a reason" if you think like that you will soon start imaging reasons or start seeing them anywhere where they actually aren't, i mean even if someone die and only bones are left in the end and they only find bones, i could justify it by saying he died to feed the earth.

It's not my place to decide what you believe. Only you can choose your path. Yet remember that you're belief that there is no god or supernatural does not change reality. The spirits will still exist among us whether or not you choose to notice them. People still die & their spirits still separate from their fleshy vessels to go to the astral plane. Life goes on.
My belief it is not, it is merely what is. Have you questions, willing to answer am I. Otherwise, I will not preach to unwilling ears.
