If you can, I have an eyebrow piercing, a cartilage piercing, and an ear lobe piercing so comparing it to one would be helpful, but feel free to describe it however you want.

Thanks. I'm hoping your answer can help me come to an informed decision about whether or not to get my tounge pierced soon.

A Supreme Being has come to the Earth in an effort to destroy it. In all this Beings infinite wisdom, it has allowed us to defend our existence in this Universe. It points out the good we have done early in our history, but the Being adds, "So what have you done - lately?" Ok Defense Team.... What do I tell the Being that we have done to further good in the world during the last 10 years in an effort to save our World?

...to read the Koran and interpret it the way the prophet meant it to be?
I have heard several converted Moslems I know complain that learning Arabic is a waste of time and that the Koran means the same in English, French, Spanish and German as well as Arabic.
Is this true? Are there problems in translating the Koran into other languages and misinterpreting the words?
I am not trying to cause any problems here, just curious.

Lots of people on this forum keep answering questions with the answer that God doesn't care about certain issues like what we can use for Lord's supper, which day of the week we meet to worship on, which church we attend, and so forth. My question is - if God doesn't care about these issues as long as you're sincere (even if you're sincerely not doing what He outlined for us to do in the Bible) then why do you think He left us a manual to research answers in and to follow in the first place?

Personally I think the answers to every question especially about proper worship can be found in the scriptures - that's why God gave them to us.

But if you don't believe this and you think all worship and all ways of life are about what feels right to you - then why do you think He left us a Bible at all?

(This is mostly a question for Bible believers as aethists and people of faiths that don't believe in the Bible don't follow it anyway.)

i hope this doesn't sound too silly of a question but i've been wondering about it for a while. why do they shave their heads? and, also, their eyebrows? if you're a buddhist or someone with a considerable amount of knowledge about buddhism reading this, then it'd be great if you answer this question. =)

Prophet Muhammad is an illiterate person. Why some Christians think that Prophet Muhammad made Qur'an, and inspired from the bible? Can he read any bible?

And if he can, why he made Qur'an and what is his purpose?

If you believe that Satan possesed him, why did he do good deeds such as, help people, give the poors, have a kind character, etc?

almost everything in the world today whether its individuals at war with their neighbours, larger groups, religions or countries, there seems to be more and more hate and less and less tolerance and understanding... why do you think this has happened?

In the New Testement Jesus says that no man comes to the father but through me. What about people who have no knowledge of Jesus. Take for example an Indian living in the Amazon. In such isolation it would be unlikey he would have ever heard of Jesus. When he dies does he burn in Hell? Does he suffer eternal torment for the crime of ignorance? What do you guys think?
