This is from Jane Eyre!

I recall hearing, many years ago, that a person could not be declared insane - no matter how obviously loopy they were - if their delusions were religious in nature.

Though I expect that this was a piece of anti-religious propaganda (yes, we do it too), and I've not heard it repeated since, I wondered if anyone could shed light on the origin of this rumour. Was there a specific incident where a nutter got off by pleading religiosity? Is there an ancient law that approximates this rule?

Serious question. Serious data appreciated.

To me this verse is one of the most important verse and muslims should be reminded that they will be judged for their interpretation of the Qu'ran:

----
The Family of Imran
[3.7] He it is Who has revealed the Book to you; some of its verses are decisive, they are the basis of the Book, and others are allegorical; then as for those in whose hearts there is perversity they follow the part of it which is allegorical, seeking to mislead and seeking to give it (their own) interpretation. but none knows its interpretation except Allah, and those who are firmly rooted in knowledge say: We believe in it, it is all from our Lord; and none do mind except those having understanding.
----

God is testing you in the Qur'an itself so everytime somebody comes to you with one of these "allegorical" verses that apparently justify killing or beating try to exercise logic and see if there is a clearer verse on the matter somewhere else.

I used to ride in horse shows all the time, my old friend was always there and always won all of the western pleasure classes. One class A show she won all day long. My friends little daughter born deaf was there with her horse and never even got a nod all day long. The Jack Benny class came up (over 39) I rode my friends horse and painted my face purple, dressed up like an idiot and put my entry # on upside down. No one knew who I was, in the final line up my best friend was beside me. She said--Odie, is that you--I said shhhh. Well lo and behold I beat my old pal Leah. We had such good laughs, I even had my chest stuffed with dish towels with roosters on them, some guy hit on me on my way back to the trailer and I pulled out my rooster towels. Chooks rule. Here's to Leah, one hell of a horse woman. clink!! May she get a turn on a unicorn or Pegasus!!

Today the Western world has money and technology but it has no soul and meaning beyond that. What I mean is that the West is decadent, atheistic and there is basic breakdown of morality and ethical values. So how long will the West survive in this terrible predicament? And what will replace it?

Matrices-calc project please please help?
any form of help is appreciated!
note: i dont know how to make matrices on computer so each of these is a 2 by 2 matrix...just in one set of brackets. numbers before comma are top row, after comma are bottom row

1. Consider matrix M= [2 0 , 0 2] calculate M^n for n= 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 50. Describe in workds any pattern observed. use pattern to find general expression for matrix M^n in terms of n

2. Consider matrices P=[3 1, 1 3] and S= [4 2, 2 4]
P^2=[3 1, 1 3]^2 =[10 6, 6 10] = 2[5 3, 3 5] ; S^2= same type of thing as P
Calculate P^n and S^n for other values of n and describe any observed patterns

3. Consider [k+1 k-1, k-1 k+1]
steps 1 and 2 contain examples of these matrices for k=1, 2, and 3. consider other values of k and describe any patterns you observe. generalize these results in terms of k and n

4. use technology to investigate what happens when further values of k & n. state scope of limitations of k and n

My boyfriend hasn't come home yet...

I've tried shaking his food bowl, calling his name out, checking all the local garages and sheds...no sign.

Where do you think he is? Is he okay??? I'm going out of my mind!!

All you so called Christians , When you get a chance to speak up for Jesus in this crowd of unbelievers and the only thing that rouses you is to attack one of your own.
You are the ones sneaking out the door while the preacher asks for volunteers.
Your enemy is Satan why don't you act like you have some guts and stand up to him?
Might offend some Pagan or atheist and that would be un Christian.
And you wonder why God loves His Jews first.

Gen. Sanchez oversaw US troops in Iraq before he retired, now he says it's a national nightmare with no end in sight and the Administration, the State Department, Congress, and the Defense Department are to blame. Isn't it a shame people like him have to retire before they can say what is really going on over there? I'll bet there are some chickenhawks here who still think they know better than him.

But will people begin to wake up?
