Is it my fault that I hate or should I blame external factors?

I sometimes hate my father for what he does to my mom but I don't want to hate him. He's my father. Sometimes I say things about him I shouldn't say and then I'm sorry. He seems so weak to me. And I think that if we met in different circumstances everything would be better. Who/what is to blame?

This 15yr old has been living without water or food for three months supposedly nurished by the divine and is said to be the reincarnation of buddha. His face up close does look like the buddha doesnt have the same look as his siblings, whether he is real or not he is still sitting in a forest with no sustainance for three months ,i cant wait to see what he has to say to the world when he emerges from his meditation.

Will God look at how he helped to make the world a better place? Or will God look at whether or not he accepted Jesus as his personal saviour?

I get up at 5:45 so I am not bothered, but a lot of people get up at around 7:00. They usually wake up when they start working in your neighborhood at 6 a.m. (with very loud noises from machines and shouting)

I'm not talking clocks here, people. If you don't know what I mean, don't bother answering.

Does it tap into your sub-conscious or something similar? I have one and it fascinates me, I want to know more about them.

And what does it mean exactly when you ask a question and it starts doing elipses or great big circles?

Some Christian groups really were threatened by the 'Divinci Code.' But in examining their fear (that it challenges the divinity of Christ) I felt that a man that lives a completely moral existance as an average man is more inspiring than a story of a divine one (for me personally). The divinity of Christ opens way for excuses by His followers to excuse their immoral behavior, due to the fact that they aren't divine. What do you think?

To seek you have to be able to ask questions first. The people who found out the earth was spherical and revolved around the sun questioned religious statements! How can we seek by sticking to religious/cultural dogma? Afterall wanting to know "god" is wanting the complete knowledge of the universe and life!

since in one way or another we are all immigrants ( even a nasty virus ) on this planet,that i might add does not belong to us just because we say it does !Why are the flames of hatred being fanned all over the world?who will profit world-wide from the power that fear gives over a population,giving them the control over our destinies-and why do we let them do it with such ease? i dont want to be afraid or paranoid, in fear of every person i meet, prejudice is a cancer,i dont want it- i'd much rather love my neighbour than fear him/her;To me these things come down to my freedom of choice-I choose to face my fear,let it pass through me,and then wave goodbye to it-i don't want the meek to inherit fear from me !x

The Quran borrows many stories and quotes from the Bible, but sometimes the events and sayings differ quite a bit from what is actually in the Bible. In some cases, people from the Bible are reported to say things which are not in the Bible.

Muslims will tell you "this is because the Bible has been changed to hide the truth".
I'd love to see CREDIBLE proof of that. The Dead Sea Scrolls show that the Bible compiled by the Catholic Church and the Bible which existed in the time of Mohammad are in COMPLETE AGREEMENT.

The Quran had a similar period of confusion before the "official" Quran existed. The following passage refers to differences or "versions" of the Quran which existed shortly after Mohammad's death...

Where can I find a CREDIBLE NON-BIASED source that shows Mohmmad's version of the Bible is accurate, and the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts ( from which the Bible is composed ) have been changed?
