A. I love them. My absolute favorite is The Prophecy, (it's actually a trilogy) starring Christopher Walken. He plays the archangel Gabriel, on a quest to capture a sadistic general's soul in order to use it against Michael and the other angels, in an effort to win the war in Heaven. Some other favorites are Dagon, an outstanding film by Stuart Gordon, which involves four boaters who encounter the Philistine fish god. The Rapture, with David Duchovney and Mimi Rogers. What happens if you've spent your life waiting for Christ's return, then lose your faith only hours before the Rapture occurs?

A. I sail. I love sailing feeling so close to God's Creation. But sailors, they are a different story. Most want nothing to do with anything spiritual. the only spirits they have any desire to know come out of a bottle.

It will take me a long time I know and it will take you a long time too but through helping other boaters in need. Working to make our marina a better place.

I do, however, travel frequently around Central America for tourism. Things to see in no specific order. antigua - Small, colonial, walking pueblo. Ruins and Spanish colonial structures.

Q. I live in michigan not too long ago 4 boaters went out onto lake Erie and their boat flipped, and they were hanging onto the boat for over twenty four hours.

A. Because, like every religious person, they think they're special. They think that god has some sort of preference for them over others. They think that they can't possibly be wrong about anything because they have god on their side, and they have god on their side because they can't possibly be wrong. It's a self-feeding delusion.

Asked by Michael - Tue Jul 7 22:01:15 2009 - Religion & Spirituality - 13 Answers - Comments

A. God does not curse us, we curse ourselves. It is a common misconception that God is all about anger and wrath towards those doing wrong, (such as many of the horror stories in the OLD testament) which is probably one of the biggest things that keeps people from being interested in Christianity. God gives us plenty of avenues to choose from, if we choose the wrong ones, its our own fault for being foolish. People perpetuate the belief they are cursed by consistently focusing on the bad things that have happened/are happening/could happen to them rather than the good. To rid themselves of this self/human-induced "curse", all one has to do is change their focus to things going right instead of wrong. It's that simple. Our minds are… [cont.]

A. **Disclaimer** It is extremely unlucky to rename a boat! You should only rename a boat if you find it impossible to live with the current name. Poseidon, God of the Sea, is not to be taken lightly. This is serious stuff (to boaters)! First things first: you must remove ALL traces of the old name. Any logs, charts, pictures... any place you can find it - check, erase, and recheck (white-out is acceptable). This is essesntial to reducing your bad luck. After all records of the old name are purged, you may begin the purging ceremony by calling onto Poseidon. A tag or card with the ship's old name on it is required, as well as Champagne and several friends. Do not open the bottle until after this speech is read: "Oh mighty and great ruler… [cont.]

Q. We have been fortunate enough by the grace of God to be able to move to a lake home in our community. I am interested now in purchasing a boat to complete the lake dream. I've looked at Regal and Sea Ray but am not very aware of many other brands. I'd like either a ski boat or a boat with some sort of comfortable cabin where we can spend a night on the lake or ocean. The boats I've seen that pique my interest are different from one another, so any recommendations similar to either one of them are welcome.

Perhaps I'm biased because I was born there, but New Yorkers are as real and down to earth as anyone can be.
