I have read an answer saying that Islam is "blind faith". How can that possibly be? The Koran itself urged its doubters to search for inconsistencies within it. Islam urges its followers to pursue knowledge rather then suppress it. Anybody can answer this question, but I hope the person who claimed this (scifiguy) would answer it himself.

Covered or not covered by the lid. And what are the pros and cons behind your choice.

Not interested in knowing what is proper etiquette, rather which one is habitually done in your household.

Do Christians live by (or obey) versus from the Old Testament? I don't get it ... explain how the Old one came to be ... was it written before Jesus, by God?

Hey eveyrone. I found a guy that I really like and we met up for the first time last night. He's so nice. Really sweet etc. When he got home last night, we talked on AIM and he told me that im really sweet, all that other stuff that made me feel good about myself. then all the sudden, apparently he was talking to someone else that had said not to ever talk or see me again because of the ages. (Im 15, he's 19). I know its totally illegal to do anything sexually but the law in CA is that technicially, its ok to date someone who is of age and someone who isnt? Is that true? well anyways, its also depressing because I just thought I had finally met..someone..and I guess I was more mad at myself for getting all caught up and losing track of reality that the ages would be a problem. He jsut wants to be friends now,, which is definitely ok but im still a little...blah...So I guess my question is about the dating age thing laws in CA and how do I overcome this depressed feeling I have?
Thanks

I have been practicing majick for about four years now (since i was eleven) and I have recently come across the concept of Tarot. I cannot seem to get any sensible reading out of any spreads and the entire concept of tarot never seemed to make any sense to me. Can anyone describe how they believe tarot works on a spiritual level?

drugs like ecstacy, psychotropical things..
it makes us relax.. and somehow 'enlightened'.. seems like we're flying.. we're one with the universe..
well i don't say drugs is good.. when the feeling caused by it is one of God experience..
and they said that with practice we can reach that experience without using drugs anymore..
i'm not kidding.. i'm serious...

have you ever use drugs ? what does it feel ?
could it be said as God experience ?

The message in all religions is the same..man has to do something to make his way to God. Be good, do right, avoid bad, punish the body in hopes of winning God's favor. It is about the good work of man, his efforts, his earning his way to God. Christianity is not about man working his way to God, but God working his way to us, so to sppek. Man's work means nothing as far as getting God's favor. Jesus was perfect and nothing can be added to what Jesus did. Good works, doing good things are in response to God's gift of salvation, not to earn it. All other religions are a burden and offer no true peace because it all rests on the ability of man, which is weak and inconsistent and not worthy of trust for gaining salvation. Don't tell me about the abuse of the Bible and people who are not faithful to Jesus message. This is not a slam against other religions but simply noting the difference.

Personally I think the human mind is far too simplistic when it tries to resolve creation using faith in an arbitrary religion, but let’s assume for a moment that God does exists and there is also a Devil.

If you had the opportunity to meet the Devil before you died and were allowed to ask one question only, what would that question be?

.
Intelligent design:

- Does it not seem unlikely that beings as complicated as ourselves could evolve that way? That babies can grow from 2 cells into fingers, joints, insticts, etc? That we can pick up light with our eyes and translate it into objects in our brain, repair our own bodies, etc...

BUT

- Does it not seem likely that any being intelligent enough to create a human being in 9 months, could not have it not die a few weeks later? Any being intelligent enough to create sight could avoid the need for glasses? How could a being create us and not avoid such flaws...even ones that we ourselves can often correct?

I kinda see both sides of the fence on this one...just wondering what everyone else thinks. PLEASE PROVIDE REASON, NOT PREACHING.

The early Christian gospels are not historical biographies of Jesus. They were written in a way that appeals to historical truth, but are not history in any actual sense. The Gospels were written between 40 to 200 years after the fact, and drastically altered during the “Council of Nicea.”
In Islam, there is no actual copy of the Koran. The earliest written record of the Koran was mentioned in a biography of Mohammed by Ibn Ishaq who wrote about 100 years after the death of the Prophet.
Hinduism does not have any one founder, or any single doctrine.
Buddhism is a religion that would be much closer in spirit to the views of an agnostic or atheist.
Where did the book of Mormon come from? Joseph Smith said he translated it from old manuscripts, but all we have are HIS papers.
The only “Religion” documented is “Scientology.” We have all the original bullshit and still some people can’t believe it’s a vast con game!
