Would you be the faith you are if you had not been born into a family that was that faith?
For example, if you are Amish (then you're not reading this because you don't have a computer), but if you were Amish would you choose to follow the Amish practices if you hadn't been born to an Amish family?
In other words, if all the religions were laid before you, Christianity, Islam, Hindu, Jew etc.; you have explored the different faiths and understand why they believe what they believe; you leave aside the personal bias of how you were raised, and make a free choice. Are you certain you choose the faith that you are?
Please explain.

fibromyalgia or fat and lazy?

Can doctors really diagnose fibromyalgia or is this just a scapegoat term to keep fat lazy hypochondriacs out of their waiting rooms?

And if so will they prescribe sugar pill placebos or would they prescribe pills made from Nutrasweet?

Engine noise when starting?

Hello. Had a few issues with my engine not starting due to no spark. A friend removed the distributor and totally cleaned it, re-set points, replaced the condensor and replaced the spark plugs - with what he says are the same but from a different company (Bosch).

There is now a spark, but when turning over the engine sometimes I get a 'clanging' noise - could be a backfire. If the distibutor cap is removed the engine turns over as normal (I've been told this means that the pistons etc are OK?). However I am concerned!!!

Currently I don't want to get the engine running without really knowing that this noise is - for fear of damaging it. Should I be worried? I've also noticed that since the distributor has been placed back onto the car it moves when the engine is turned over.

Who's fault is this for tearing families apart?

Why does Yahoo spin this like those who are breaking the law are the ones suffering?

No one to blame but the illegals themselves. Families do not have to be torn apart, if they are as illegal as those being deported, they should go to their home country as well.
Problem fixed no illegal immigration, no families torn apart.

What about avoiding Gay and Bi Men?

I have thought that it will spare me of time-wasting pursuits that I am to avoid going into areas where men, either gay or bi have stared or looked at me with the assertive look. For example, there is several roads near where I live that a few men live and I would like to avoid them, thus avoiding being tempted into the lust and wickedness of the flesh and to protect myself. I am very sensitive and it is easy for me to give in- but this kind of activity cannot continue, for I wish to follow along with my studies and one day be a Manichaean Gnoctis priest, but such impurity of the flesh does not mix well with the search for Gnosis.

I am not spreading hate or being wicked but I am merely helping myself out of my own mistakes.

Christians, if Muslims claim to worship the sam God as us which is the only God?

then why do they not believe the word of God which is written in the Holy Bible? That is not worship. Worship christians is worshiping God in spirit and in truth. Becasue if they worshiped God they would also belive that Jesus was not just a prophet he is indeed the living Begotton Son of the living God, and they would also belive in miralces as God is a God of the supernatural, they would also believe that God gives dreams and visions for today, they would also call God Father, and if they worshiped God they would not deny the Holy Spirit, and if they worshiped God they would know that no man comes to the Father expect through His Son Jesus. Christians be joyful as we know the truth and as Jesus said "You shall know the truth and the truth shall sent you free" It is also written he who has the Son is free indeed. Awsome. Hallelujah!
