Well it was in Egypt that the cat was first domesticated. Animals of all kinds were respected by Egyptians. But "cats where worshipped and respected for two reasons: firstly, because the goddess Bast was worshipped in the form of a cat, and secondly, because the cat was seen as an important part of Egyptian life" They were seen as helpful companions; they trained their cats to go out hunting with them instead of dogs!!

Wow! I never linked them together but these similarities are uncanny. The Mormons believe that God use to be a man, I don't think that the restoration movement teaches this.

No.\n\nThey are three different entities in the Mormon belief.\n\nBesides that, it is a different god than the God of the Bible as Christians understand it. Therefore it is a different Jesus and a different Holy Spirit. They use Christian terminology, however, their theology is totally different.

I suppose it's the nature of the beast. But the beast is FANATISM, not RELIGION ITSELF. There is a difference.

Many types of animals were mummified, some because they were beloved pets and others were offerings to gods or goddesses.  Animals mummified as pets included cats, falcons, monkeys, hawks, fish, shrews, dogs and gazelles (one was found with Queen Isetemkheb).  Ibises were mummified in honor of Thoth, and cats in honor of Bast/Bastet.  Bulls and crocodiles were sometimes sacrificed and mummified, as well.\nSometimes animals such as cows and birds were mummified and buried with human mummies in order to provide them with food in their next life.\n\nHope this was helpful :-)\n\nI included some sources with neat pictures of animal mummies...but they are a bit gross.

The Truth About  Mormonism\n\nMost LDS (This stands for Latter Day Saint, That's what they like to call themselves) won't tell you what the Church believes because it is so bizarre. These strange beliefs are the reason mainline Christians Churches say that Mormonism is a non-christian cult. In the next paragraph I will tell you what they believe and add what the Bible teaches on the subject where appropriate.\nMormons teach that our god is a glorified man. A being of flesh and bone. The Bible makes it very clear that God is spirit. The Mormon god  stated out in the great expanse of uncreated space. There in the darkness of a pre-spiritual existence, god the father, Jesus, you, and I will there all equal and co-eternal. Then a god had sexual intercourse with one of his wives and our god was given a spiritual body. He happened to be the first born of this god so he became the savior of this god's world just like Jesus is for our world. He lived, and taught Mormonism to those who would listen to mine. He died just like Jesus did here and if others on that world would repent and be baptized by the Mormon priest there and live to the end of their lives in righteousness they were allow to return to their god. If they didn't measure up they were assigned to other kingdoms that that god has created for them. Kingdoms overseen by their savior  (who became our god) and another valiant spirit that was given the office of holy ghost. (What do you think, is this getting complex?) After the end of the world that our god did his mortal ministry on, he was given many worthy females at he could have sex with and thereby create spirit children (us) to send to a world that he created. Oh, by the way these worlds weren't really created they were organized out of the matter available in space (matter is co-eternal with god and can't be created or destroyed). Jesus was the first born of our god and Lucifer the second born (who became the devil). Can you believe this Mormons don't just say that Jesus is our spiritual brother but also he and we are brothers of Satan. Lucifer wanted to force us all to be good and bring us all back to god Jesus wanted to give us freedom to make our own decision. Jesus won this battle and became god the son. Well Mormons believe this process is repeated again and again. It is their goal to live a perfect life through their first principles of their gospel they are:\n          1. Faith in the Mormon Jesus\n          2. Baptism by immersion (Done only by their priests)\n          3. Laying on of hands for the gift of the Mormon Holy Ghost  ( Done only by their elders)\n          4. Repentance ( You have to repent of every sin you commit, You better have a good memory)\n          5. Enduring to the end of your life in righteousness. Go to step 4 each time to you sin.\nAlong with this there is marriage in the  Mormon temple (You can't become a god without being married). Everyone is also asked to pay a full tithe (Ok they got one thing right) and do volunteer service for the church (They have no paid ministry. That isn't bad either but someone should tell them that pastoring a local christian church is a full time and a half job and it doesn't pay well at all. Men and women that do it are called of God No one would go into that kind of work on their own..\n\n\nJim

Many native american tribes believed that birds are from the spirit world.Perhaps a dead realitive was saying good morning or letting you know that they love you. I am sure it was good. How cocl was it?

The Great Apes, and, no - I've seen nothing that would tell me they have religion. I really don't see what your question has to do with evolution. Are you saying that people that don't believe in evolution also don't believe that there are some animals that are smarter than others?

Mormons believe: God is an exalted man.  Elohim, the God of this universe, was previously a man in a prior existence.  As a result of having kept the requirements of Mormanism, he was exalted to godhood and inherited his own universe.  God is confined to a body of flesh and bones and yet is thought to be omniscient and omnipotent.  He obviously can not be omnipresent.  There are an infininte number of gods with their own worlds.  These too were previously men, The Holy Ghost, Jesus Christ and "Heavenly Father" comprise 3 separate and distinct gods. Heavenly Father sires spiritual children in heaven destined for human life on earth.  All humans, as well as Jesus Christ and Lucifer, are gods heavenly children.  Every human being has the potential of becoming a god by keeping the requirements of Mormonism.  The Morman plan of salvation is built on the idea that all people have eternal life, but only the most faithful Mormons have godhood or enter the celestial kingdom.  In order to obtain this ultimate step, Mormons must exercise faith in the God of Mormonism, its Christ, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints; exercise repentence; and be baptisted in the LDS church.  Additionaly Mormons must keep the "Word of Wisdom" by abstaning from alcohol, tobacco, and caffiene; tithe to the church; attend weekly sacrament meetings; support the Mormon prophet; do temple works; and be active in their support of the Church.  \n\nIs this Christianity, I think not.

If you lie down with dogs, you rise up with fleas?  The Bible says that God does not cast his pearls before swine, meaning that you must prove yourself worthy before knowing some divine information the Church shares with you.  That might be the Book of Mormon, I'm not sure.  I'm not very brushed up on it.  My boyfriend's family is mormon, so I hear about it.  Believe me....I hear about it.

What bothers me most about Mormons are their false scriptures and false prophets. They have three false scripture-the book of Mormon, a Pearl of Great Price and Doctrines and Covenants. Starting with the founder Joseph Smith, Brigham Young and all their church presidents are false prohphets. What changes would I recommend. Throw out their scriptures, read their Bibles and forget about their prophets. \n\nA short summary for those not familiar with Mormonism\n\n\nThe Mormon church has some very unusual doctrines and beliefs and is considered to be a cult by most conventional Christian denominations.\n\nFor example, they believe their God has a number of heavenly wives. They believe God lives on a planet near a star names Kolob. They believe that they can become gods in the afterlife. They believe in a three tiered heaven which can only be reached through works including marriage to another mormon. Single Mormons can not reach this third level of their heaven. They believe their God used to be a man of flesh and bones and later became God. They believe God came down to earth as a man to impregnate the virgin Mary. \n\nThey believe Satan and Jesus are brothers. They believe everyone has two sets of parents-heavenly parents that create spirit babies and the earthly parents who create the bodies into which these supposed spirt babies go. The reason Mormons have so many children is that they believe that there are a surplus of spirit babies and so members are encouraged to have as many babies as possible to make a place for the spirit bodies to live.\n\nThey believe in marrying and baptizing all their dead relations into the Mormon church, hence the interest in geneology. They have also baptized most dead US presidents and a number of holocaust victims until they got quite a few complaints from members of the Jewish faith. \n\nThe church is very controlling and a person must pass an interview with a church official each year to get a temple recommend pass-this includes a promise of tithing, believing the prophets, work in the church, etc. \n\nThe mormon church was founded by Joseph Smith a local ne'r do well, who spent most of his time treasure hunting, and one day ta-dah he discovered supposedly gold plates from the angel Moroni in New York. The book of Mormon, as opposed to the Bible is historically and archeologically unsound. For example, Bethlehem and Jericho existed. Not so for the locations in the book of Mormon. Joseph Smith as a child made up lots of involved stories regarding Indians and other inhabitants of America. Not so surprisingly the same type of stories are in his book of Mormon, which he claimed came down on gold plates from God. According to Mormon doctrines dark skinned people were dark skinned because of a "curse" placed on them.

Mormons were started by a man named Joe Smith in the 1800s. When Joe was a teenager he used to try to con people with "peep" stones that he claimed gave him psychic sight. His dad was a treasure hunter and the community they lived in petitioned to drive them out. The petition particularly cited Joe as a person of low moral character.\n\nJoe tried to convince his family that he saw two angels in the woods. His family dismissed it as another one of his cons. He read books and novels about Jews escaping the grip of the Egypitians and Romans by moving to other lands. This gave him the idea of Jews coming to North America later. Later he began to tell people he saw the two angels in the woods story again. He later changed it and said they were in fact Jehovah and Jesus. Then later changed it angels again. He actually started to gather a small following of people. He paid a Professor to "validate" golden tablets he claimed God showed him hidden in the woods that gave another book to the bible. The book Doctrine and Covenants describes the professor and the translating. In reality the professor later confessed to his colleague in a letter that his statements were false and there was not tablets or translating.\n\nAnyhow as the story was told Joe hid in a room away from the professor and used his peep stones to translate Greek and Hebrew gold tablets into English. Now these tablets were supposidly stories wrote by Jews in America ranging in 2000bc to 400ad. Strangely enough the book of Mormon translated straight from Greek and Hebrew alledgely ended up in 1600s Queen's English just like the King James Version of the bible. Not only that but even quotes the KJV exactly in many passages and even shares the same chapter number and verse. The question is why would they translate into Queen's English when 1800s had modern English and use the exact KJV passages, even ones that were mis-translated by the King James translators. Also why would the chapter and verses match up in numbers when chapter/verse numbers were not added till the English versions of the bible.\n\nSo Joe wrote his book of Mormon but made some serious mistakes in it. First of all he addresses the issue of having another book of the bible. According to the book of Mormon the Jews of 33ad when they met Jesus asked why they needed more bibles. The term bible is Latin for "small books" and did not exist at that time. So why is a word used in the book of Mormon in 33ad that did not exist and further the book of Mormon was supposed to be in Greek and Hebrew not Latin? Another mistake was Jesus showed the American Jews he visited shortly after his crucifixion, the nail prints in his hands to prove he was the messiah. The problem here is these people did not see the crucifixion so how would nail prints prove anything to them?\n\nAnother good one is the book of Mormon claims that when Jesus was crucified he went to North America and for three days he caused darkness to where not even torches could be lit. He flew around screaming and destroying countless cities of the American Jews. After three days of mayhem he finally calmed down and decided to talk to the people. According to the bible Jesus went to the belly of the earth for 3 days before resurrecting. The darkness at the crucifixion lasted for 10 hours and was a fairly local event. Other cultures do not report darkness as Israel did at that time.\n\nThe book of Mormon says Jesus was born in Jerusalem. The bible says Bethlehem. A Mormon bishop told me one time that prophets make mistakes and Joe simply made a mistake. I told him how could it be a mistake when it is translated from golden tablets distributed by God? Prophets that make mistakes are called false prophets.\n\nBut the most damaging evidence of its falesness is the fact that no North/South Native American Indian has any history even remotely validating any claim by the book of Mormon. There is no archaeological evidence of the c

I have heard that cats do get kind of freaked out by the supernatural. My friend and i were playing the ouija board and her cat came and its back hunched up and it hissed at the board and ran away. I have heard that cats can see spirits like fairies, ghosts and peopel who astral traveling and dogs can see people's souls. Thats why when a dog see's someone and they start to grow'll or the hair stands up on their backs. The dog has seen the persons soul and they think/know that that person means harm or is bad!!
