Redcap the Druid

I bought a vintage comb that has two bent teeth. Do you know any tricks to safely straighten them out? They are very fine and plastic but I am afraid of breaking them if I try to bend them the other way.

Do you remember your first sacred experience? Is this event what drags us into a life of worship? You can define your faith any way you want, but isn't it the undefinable sacred experience that keeps the logical mind from overcoming religion?

I think that religion is like illegal drug use: Your first spiritual high keeps you coming back for more in spite of the knowledge of what religion has done to humanity over the years. When you see another "user", you think that they are confused and lost, yet you cannot see the zealot in the mirror.

What do you think?

Which is more important... good works or conversion. I realize that conversion would be a good work, but that is not my question.

An act of compassion vs. spreading the gospel.

Thanks in advance!

Not multiple lives, but multiple worlds or realities. Not reincarnation, but transmigration.

Not without a collective purpose but without a sense of identity or conscious choice and whim.

Are there any faiths that do not include belief in the unprovable?

I quit smoking on New Years and this is pretty rough. After 18 years of smoking, chemical dependence really has a grip on me. I heard that there are some herbal treatments that can help. Anyone know any?

No... I am not interested in advice that involves SMOKING herbs :)

Thanks in advance!

His tail has doubled in girth in the last month and I weant to make sure it doesn't lead to harm

Do you consider atheism to be a belief system or even a religion? If so, why?

I know very little about Islam, and I am curious if there are any differences in the concept of Hell between the two faiths.

How many billions of dinos have come and gone over the life of the Earth? I figure this may why small children love them so much... with one foot in the Otherworld they would have a better view of the fauna.

Please don't bother answering if you...

A. Don't believe in the afterlife

B. Don't believe that non-human animals get an afterlife

C. Don't believe in dinosaurs

That should exclude just about everyone :)

Anything would help; plans, advice, personal experience. etc...

I would like to build three - for grapes, oranges, and pumpkins/watermelons (in that order)

Surely some of you are breaking new ground. Points to the one with the best!
