If yes, why? If no, why not?

Give me an example from your life when you think there was Karma in the middle of all happenings - if you have.

If you believe in it, do you believe that we "import" sins from previous lives, or you think we are born "clean"?

You have to choose one...
a) You have eternal happiness and one hundred other people will be tortured for eternity.
b) You are tortured for eternity and one hundred other people will have eternal happiness.

Choose one, you have to choose one, there are no twists.

Also, is sciontology REALLY a religion? I mean seriously, John Trovolta has reached level A of it and now if he wants to he can kill a man with his mind. If it was a REAL religion why would God give someone the power to do something that is against one of the 7 commandments? And they'd most likly get away with it until they got to hell.

The story of the book discovery just went on Yahoo news at:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060725/ap_on_sc/ireland_ancient book

The book, with the rest of its pages stuck shut, is open to Psalm 83 which cites a plot to cut off Israel from being a nation. Among the plotters listed are the Ishmaelites, Edom, Moab, Philistines and the people of Tyre, among others.

Are they worried a non-muslim will find them attractive and therefore take them from the muslim once they realize how good life is with a non-muslim?

Yesterday, a man came into my mosque drunk and depressed. He said he stopped by a church for help but was denied because he was drunk (no offense to anyone; i just figured i'll tell all facets of the story). A few hours later he stumbled across my mosque and said he was instantly greeted with warm welcomes, a glass of water, a chair, and a wet towel to put across his head. By then, the worst of his "hangover" was gone; he had been drinking since morning.

I walked into the mosque, introduced myself to him, asked a few questions. I saw he had a book in his hand about Islam. He told me the least he could do to thank us was to read about the religion and learn about what Islam really is since all he has heard about Islam is that it is a violent religion. I said "thank you," and walked away because it was time for prayer. By the end of the night, I saw him praying. After prayer, I saw him talking to a reknowned person in the community. Then,I saw him leave with a Quran in his hand

Si, voglio decire esattamente esso, ed io gia posso parlare italiano basico. Io gia so grammatica. Solo ho bisogno di imparare un po'di vocabolario. Poi esso, io vado a imparare francese. Come e il PUC? Oggi, io ho andato a pattinare sul gelo. Ha stato divertente. O, va a essere il mio compleanno! Credo che mio padre mi dara un telefonino, probabilmente un RAZR. Molto bene, ha stato un piacere potere parlare con te oggi via e-mail. Spero verti nella chiesa il prossimo sabato. A presto!

Seems they've "found" a book of Psalms in a Irish bog. They have "dated" the find at 800-1000 years old (without actual radiometric dating too...) and the clincher is that the book was found open.
And they say it's legible.
So I'm wondering how many idiots will actually believe this thing is authentic? The fact is; Vellum would never have survived. The insects in the bog would have had a feast.
Leather survives fairly well as does human flesh if it's buried deep enough, but vellum? Tasty treat for the bugs.
But some people actually believe (and I still can't fathom the ignorance that goes with this) that the shroud of Turin is authentic. And that the James Ossuary is authentic too, despite the fact that it's been proven to be an outright fraud.
Never underestimate the stupidity of the average christian and you'll never be dissapointed. <= My new motto...

Some people talk about how all us inhabitants of Earth are decendants of Adam and EVE. But, we aren't, don't you remember the great flood God brought upon the Earth and killed ALL living things except for those which God told Noah to put on the ark? That we are decendents of Noah and his family?

Matthew 24: 6-9

6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains. 9 "Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me."

Everything is because lately we have two wars one in Iraq and another in Israel, plus, we have rumors of wars from North Korea. Christians are starting to be persecuted by the goverment more than ever. Also we have natural disasters and sickness all over the world.
