I know that Islam says that there are not to be any sects of the religion. However, there are many people who do follow either Sunni or Shia sects. Does it really matter then if I choose not to follow that and just follow what the Quran and the Sunnah says? Any opinions?

If Heaven is a place where human spirits can exist without pain or suffering, then all life on Earth is needless, cruel torture. A truly loving and compassionate God would immediately bring all human souls to heaven.

The poor country pastor was livid when he confronted his wife with the receipt for a $250 dress she had bought. "How could you do this!" he exclaimed.

"I don't know," she wailed, "I was standing in the store looking at the dress. Then I found myself trying it on. It was like the Devil was whispering to me, 'Gee, you look great in that dress. You should buy it.'"

"Well," the pastor persisted, "You know how to deal with him! Just tell him, "Get behind me, Satan!"

"I did," replied his wife, "but then he said "It looks great from back here, too." Bwaaaahahahahaha!!!!

I don't see the difference.

Do people actually believe that one day god made a donkey talk just to tell off Balaam and make him believe in god? Why don't these sorts of things happen in modern times?

are giving intelligent and appropriate responses to racially motivated questions. Yet it seems like the rude, defensive and abnoxious answers come from others, for instance, an asian girl who attacked me in response to an honest question. She even had a "thug" avatar and spoke ebonics; "Why you gots to insult black peoples?"
White people aren't out of the target area either! So many young white people, guys and girls, are very hateful and some even threaten. To me, this is a total contradiction of what they are trying to prove! If you do not like blacks, if you do not like mexicans, if you do not like whites, here's an idea; when you're out today, say hello and smile to every person of the race you dislike, that you pass by. Maybe not a great idea in your car, but in the mall, on the street, in a grocery store. You may change your mind!

For over nine years Pagans have been Applying for approval of a Penticle as a symbol of Religious Faith for Military tombstones.
Buddist, Muslems, even an Athiest symbol have been approved since then, as a Combat Vet who almost died in Iraq I'm angry that I could not have had the symbol of my faith on my gravestone.
Why not?

Our World is made by thoughts under the Light of Love. Thoughts are Images of Self. They are coming from anywhere, going to anywhere with a speed bigger than Light.

He does not want to die and wants to stay alive. We have been going through the usual round of questions but I feel that the answers that I am giving him is insufficient because he asks the same questions over and over again. Please someone help as he is very concerned and so am I. i don't know what to tell him anymore.

Is it a motivation for us to believe in God? Since heaven is a perfect place, wouldn't heaven be a selfish reward to give us?
