This is a video of an American Apache helicopter using a nose-mounted 30mm automatic Boeing M230 Chain Gun. The first Al-Qaeda man to fall is literally turned into ground beef.

"Seek in every way to become childlike. Seek, seek, seek until you find, until the years have added to your nature that of a trusting child. Not only for its simple trust must you copy the child-like spirit, but for its joy in life, its ready laughter, its lack of criticism, its desire to share with all men. ask much that you may become as little children, friendly and loving towards all -- not critical, not fearful."

"Except ye ... become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven."
-Jesus

I don't understand how there are even grounds to debate this, as all tangable evidence supports evolution. Religions themselves are just story book social clubs. How many major religions are there around the world? Have each of us been lucky enough to have been born into the right one? Should I sit here and believe that just because they lived 2.5 Million years ago, that Hobo Habilis, an early human being, would be sentenced to an after life of hell or purgatory simple due to the fact that Jesus Christ wasn't around yet to spread the word of God, therefore they could have lived a life of sin? Why should I buy into this mythical being known as God, or Buddha, or in the case of the acient Greeks, several different Gods? Religion was created to keep order in this word. By instilling in everyones mind that there are greater consequences than to that of our phyical being, consequences which are so unfortunate and unreversible, we as humans strive to abide to our religions rules...

I have had dreams that I would look up in a dream book that tells me what to look out for. Some came true and others not.
I also had experiences where I have won or come into money and
would get an ichy palm. I've have heard this is a sign of money coming to you. I remember hearing a bell one night sleeping thinking someone rung our doorbell. I got a call later from my grandfather telling me an aunt of mine died.She shared the same birthmonth and date as me. Is this psychic? I started deep breathing and meditation in the last 9 years and noticed this although my aunt died over 20 years ago. Serious answers only
please telling me what research covers this and if I can enhance
this ability.

If we are all one at the soul level, then this is most important truth of humanity. If we are all one, then how can we hate one another, how can we envy or discriminate?. We may look different, but we are the same. When you look at someone you are looking at your mirror image. This truth should stop hatred toward one another. This truth would stop wars and create a more loving and peaceful world.

I think it's amazing that more and more of the girls you meet today are useless. If it's not clubbing or painting their faces or shopping at the mall they don't seem interested in anything else and act bored if you ask them to come over and help out when you have a big project around the house. I've had to ask my GF to come over lately becuz she won't offer herself. And when she's here she's got this face. Shouldn't she want to be here? WTF? i've seen this problem b4 too. Yea another one is going to bite the dust cuz im shipping her back, but still there is something wrong going on and it's widescale. Why are they being raised as princesses? or what makes you think a diamond is something you deserve just becuz.....or is sleeping with a man supposed to be a favor and disclaim you from any other labor?

Throughout both the Old Testament and the New Testement are passages that demean women and degrade their worth. The Bible equates a woman to cattle and other property man may own. Women are "taken" into marriage, regardless if they want to be married or not, and are often bartered for or sold outright. 1 Samuel 18:27 shows David buying a bride for 200 foreskins. 1 Timothy 2:11-15 says women may not usurp man and that they may be saved through child bearing. 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 forbids women to speak in church. They are to ask questions of their husbands at home if they don't understand something. Romans 1:27 talks about homosexuality as men "leaving the natural use of a woman." So basically, the Bible says women are only good for pleasuring their husbands, having children, and indentured servitude. In fact, there are practically no mention of female births into families at all after Genesis, only male births. So why would you be a part of a religion that does not value you?

I notice that most Islamic teachings were not new. They are mainly taken from Jaudism and Paganism. Some examples are:
1- Monotheism (worshipping only one god), which is the basic idea of Islam, is taken from Jaudism.
2- Zakat (charity money or tax) is also taken from Jaudism.
3- Praying for god (Salat) is also taken from Jaudism and Paganism (Muslim prayers is very similar to ancient Pagan's prayer).
4- Pilgrimage (Hajj & Omra) are taken from Paganism.
5- Most Islamic teachings to encourage people to do good deeds and prohibt them from doing bad deeds are also taken from Jaudism and Christianity.
6- Most Islamic punishments (Sharia Hodoud) are taken from Paganism (such as cutting the hands of thieves) and old Jaudism (such as stoning adulters to death).

Can anyone tell me what exactly was the new thing that Islam brought?

I have heard that Mormons don't tell you all of their beliefs at first, so you don't immediately dismiss their religion. I do not know whether that is true or not, but it certainly makes sense.

Note: If you are to give a Mormon belief, please back it up with a Book of Mormon or biblical source, please!

Some examples would be:
- If you die a good person, you might be able to get your own planet to rule as god of
- Jesus and Lucifer are brothers
- God has a wife

PS - I know these beliefs to be true, but I don't know where the Book of Mormon actually says this, so if you know, please help me out.

I am just interested in the beliefs of religions; this is not to be a "let's flame the Mormons" discussion.

Thank you,
Derek

Every single answer on here has at least one person that mindlessly pastes bible verses as an answer. It's like spam. No one reads it.
