Does anyone know what it is?

Do you suppose that there are secret permanent or mobile bazaars on the brink of society...that sell strange things, like body parts, illegal weapons, exotic animals, and stolen paintings?

Is the black market just a term that applies to clandestine dealings....or is there or are there actually places where these activities may repeatedly occur?

I have known this guy for about 2yrs. we really didnt become friends until this past spring. I had a party, and that night he found out I was gay. it was after that night we started hanging out a LOT and have gotten very close. One day we were at the pool and he started asking me all these questions about being gay. we have gotten a lot closer since the pool incidence, and i am almost certain that he has given me little hints or clues that he may like me, or at least be curious about being gay. He had a girlfriend, of 2 yrs. and broke up. they just recently got back together and I have really started to like him and i really want to tell him how i feel and see if there is a mutual feeling. The biggest kicker is the 2 of us are going to his condo next week for 5 days. i really want to tell him how i feel. but dont want to ruin anything from happening. Do i tell him before we go? while there? or not at all?

If a Muslim get killed or blows himself up fighting enemies of other religions, he will get a number of virgins in his after-life. What will happen to a Muslim who goes into a mosque and blows up other muslims?

Ok I am 17 I make $154 a week and I have no real expenses excect for a $15 a month cell phone bill. I am a save-spender I save awhile than I spend it all on what most people would consider luxury items ex. prada sunglasses, pucci bathing suit, bcbg clothing. My dad says that I waste my money, I should be saving it and that money should mean more to me than that. Again I have no expenses. So who do you think is right here?

I have been asked to take a lesbian couple shopping for outfits for their July 1st ceremony.
I need help. What type of outfit should they wear? It will be an outdoor ceremony with a small reception following at a small local bar.

Why is there no existing records from the non-muslim arabs of the time? I can understand why there would be no record from the Jewish tribes of Muhammad's day, because if Muhammad did exist, and did murder all the Jews in the Arabian pennisula, then we shouldnt expect much left from those poor souls. But what about everyone else?

Why do we know for sure Napolean existed? Many reasons, but the strongest evidence of the existance of a historical personality is always the accounts of "other cultures". We have the accounts of Russians from Napoleans time, and the British. There is no way all these cultures, outside France, would simulatenously make up this person called "Napolean".

Other cultural accounts are most compelling because they are not self serving. If Pagan Moon worshipers insist that the Moon God is real because their own pagan records prove it, will this be enough? Of course not.

SO, its amazing to see no accounts of Muhammad outside Islam. Isnt it?

On the BBC news last night, they showed a black impoverished widowed Sudanese mother of eight living in a parched wind blown desert tent in a refugee camp. She stumbled across a little boy nearby in the bushes by himself alone and took him as her own. If there is a God, I’m sure he smiled and she will have a place in heaven before you and I.

Would you or any other religious person "you personally know" be willing to do what she did now, remember she has absolutely nothing compared to us? I'm going to hell, how about you?

Only satan would use scare tactics to forse people to believe, God uses faith and good, how can someone confuse this, God does wonders, and this allah claims to have destroyed cities to make us believe, that doesn't sound like God, God wants non-believers to come to Jesus with their sins, Allah said burn them, how come these people cannot tell the difference, common sense can be that blind, The Quaran is using scare tactics to the christians, now I see why terrorists are coming after Christians, It is the work of Satan, not allah, brainwashed, completely, but God still holds open arms for any one that will see.

It can be more than one.

If your not a Christian, feel free to share your thoughts as well, what words or stories had a positive impact on your life?

It says in the bible that a true Chrisitan believer can drink deadly poison without being harmed.

Either there are no true Christian believers on earth

or

Someone (not God) had something to do with the writing of the bible.

In my years of grade school and college, I noticed that the American educational system is very politically controled. For instance:

- Black history emphasizes on whites opression blacks, but hardly mention the many whites that fought and died for blacks.

- Woman's history emphasizes men who oppressed women. Yet, it hardly mentions the men who greatly helped women in their strugles. Think about it, if women couldn't vote, who gave them the right to? If women could work, who gave them their first jobs?

- Science teaches The Theory of Evolution, (which has never been proven, thus "theory") but will not teach the theory of Creationalism. At least, not with the same time and detail. It could be taught from a vaig, neutral point. Many believe in Creationalism, including Muslims, Christians, Catholics, and many others.

Has anyone else noticed this? Aren't these all discriminative?
I'm of Puerto Rican decent, and I've noticed this bias in our systems.

Thank you.

This denomination is known world-wide, and is considered "Charismatic".

This denomination stems off from Methodist.

This denomination doesn't practice the sacrements on a regular basis, however; they don't see anything wrong with sacrements.(They just don't feel they're 'nessesary' for Salvation, etc.)

This denomination believes in the Trinity.

This denomination is also recognized as a Charitable organization.

(more clues to come later - based on answers.)
Good Luck, and God Bless.

10 extra points for the "first one" to guess correctly. lol

It seems to me that Christian men (and no I am not referring to being extreme here) don't exist. I don't think that any men still want to follow Christ because they don't want to go against the grain of popular opinion, and Chrisitanity is definatly against the grain of popular opinion. I don't see any people who truly follow the Bible only the parts that they like.

not politics as in government, but I am seeing a lot of people bashing on others religions, because they have thier own beliefes. can't you just let people pick what they want to believe in and let them be if you disagree?
does anyone else see religion as a gamble? you pick one and hope you picked the right one? does anyone else think we should enjoy this life while we have it and stop hating others for thier beliefs?
CHRISTIANS, STOP HATING WICCANS, THEY HAVE SIMILAR BELIEFS AS YOU! AND MORMONS, STOP HATING CHRISTAINS! CATHOLICS, STOP HATING MUSLIMS! GEEZ!
do you follow?
I am a non politicall religionist, I believe in what I believe in. so lynch me for it. I am none of you, adn my gamble is my faith in the higher power is stronger than any bigot religion.
jah love to all,
respond with love or don't respond at all.
