I have noticed that most religion bashers, such as Dawkins, reproach the followers and not the religion itself. How can they judge a religion by its followers?

I quoted this phrase from a website.
"Islam is the way of life; Muslims are people who claim to follow that way of life. A Muslim may claim to follow Islam, but be wrong. " Same goes for other religions.

BCCI is unable to select eleven talented cricket players. Hence Indian Cricket League is born!!! My question to the Indian cricket fans/readers are that whether we should have hundreds of Indian Cricket League so that we can spot the eleven talented cricket players in India?

the other day I stupidly left a shirt in the sink trying to clean off a spot and left the water running with the shirt in the sink, thinking the water wouldnt overflow, I took a shower and got out to find water everywhere all in the bathroom, and the hallway and into a downstairs room off the bathroom, the carpet {cheap berber}; was soaked, I used old sheets to try and soak up the water, but I dont have a shop vac so I just let it dry on its own, I feared it would start to have a mildew smell, and today my fears came to pass, its starting to have a mildew smell, how can I get rid of that smell...?

Signed,

Dummy....

What caused you to believe that way? Was it the way you were raised , your religion or something else?

Makes sense: If they are killing embryos / babies, why not go further and hide the paedophiles too so they can increase their business ?

A nationwide pedophile protection scandal involving facilities run by Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Federation is emerging from a two-year undercover investigation by Life Dynamics Incorporated of Denton, Texas.

Life Dynamics said it recorded over 800 calls to facilities across America in which an actress portraying a 13-year-old girl impregnated by her adult boyfriend sought an abortion to hide the illegal sexual relationship from her parents and police. Many clinic workers told the caller they were legally mandated to report it to the state, but 91 percent of the 800 facilities agreed to illegally conceal it.

In fact, workers routinely instructed a child who they believed to be a statutory rape victim to lie about or conceal her age or the age of the man who impregnated her; engage in illegal actions to circumvent the state's parental notification law; use a fictitious name, phone number or address; hide the situation by altering what she would say when she came to the facility; and be more careful about what information she gave out and to whom.

In one recent case, a New London, Conn., man was indicted in the sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl. A police investigation later revealed that the child was taken to the Planned Parenthood clinic in Norwich for abortions three times in six months, from April-September 2006.

Life Dynamics President Mark Crutcher said, "Our investigation proved that rapists who target underage girls have no better ally than Planned Parenthood. If these people in Norwich had any sense of decency, or any concern for this child, they would have reported this situation to the authorities the first time they saw her. Of course, that would have cost them the profit from the next two abortions."

I always do...no matter who they are.

Music I listen to most of the time is something that is tied up in my emotions of how I feel or felt at sometime in the past. That usually means that's the part of me that I don't feel like sharing, I just want to keep it all to myself.

If a ball weighing 2.2kg is released from rest and drops 93mm onto a mass(5.7kg) which is at rest and is supported by a spring.

If the coefficient of restitution for impact is 0.93, what is the maximum deflection downwards of the mass.??

oh and spring constant is 654N/m,
(remember, the spring will initially be compressed, due to the force from the weight of the block.!!)

When alone, I often get a feeling of uneasiness and hopelessness and then i begin to panic randomly. Then i feel like i'm running out of oxygen and freak out. I usually calm myself by talking to someone... Could not getting enough sleep be a cause for this? Am i suffering from a mental illness?

The first is once saved always saved. If God is loving and I choose to disregard Him then He will not allow me to turn from Him. The other is pre-destination, my view is that God already knows who will be saved, so it comes as know surprise to Him. But some people say that if you are chosen(pre-destined), then you will be saved no matter what you do.What about freewill? I feel Jesus died for all as long as they accept Him, not just a select few.
