How should I go about learning American Sign Language fastest and most efficiently? I know that it's not easy... how long do you think it would take, especially if you have learned it as a hearing/speaking person?

The problem is that many of the words seem to require rolling your Tongue. Ok, i am useless at this. Is there any way of learning how to do this. Will i be understood if i don't roll my tongue or just sound stupid?

I have heard of catholics,baptists,mormans,jahova witnesses and many many more forms of it and most of them claim that they are right and others are wrong so if others are wrong and only one religion is right who is the true body of Christ?

I disagree with a lot of Christians on a lot of parts of the Bible. For example: i don't think Romans 1:26-27 or the story of Sodom says anything about homosexuality (just an example).

When i try to talk about this with Christians, or ask questions about it on this forum here, the most answers i recieve are: 'you obviously don't understand, read the Bible'.

Problem is: i did read that book, even several times. It doesn't even take much intellect to understand that book.

So, my main question here is: why does a group of Christians think they own the intellectual right on interpreting the Bible?

We have a common ancestor with a fish, with a lizard, with monkeys and chimpanzees. It might be a common ancestor from 100 million years ago or 200 million years ago or 500 million years ago, but yes, yes we do have a common ancestor with every living animal on this Earth. It all goes back to one cell.

What religion teaches this, if there are many, which are they. Are any religions that teach anything else, are they false religions?

Thanks! Put your cart to the wheel please and answer.

God is make-believe like all the other gods and supernatural nonsense people ever came up with...fun but false. The universe was belched into existence as hot plasma and organized into the matter we see now, and behaves the way it does, all because of some simple laws of physics. "I" am a process that is happening. I was born because my parents caused it, and my body will die while I'm still in it. What should I do now? I have complete freedom; I don't have to act the way anyone else wants me to. Probably 40 years left. I'm straight, at least, and I like mountain biking and smoking pot.

'Da Esta Ganwein.' I asked what this meant in the Languages section and Delicate Flower said that it is a form or Wiccan...is that really true? And if so does it mean 'I love you'?

Prophet Jesus told His People about False Prophets to Come after Him, He also told of a Man to Come after Him, and told His People to Believe with His Message that He will bring.

Prophet Muhammad also told us that after Him there will be so many false Prophets to emerge, He told us that He is the Last and Seal of all Prophets that God will Send to Mankind, and the Qur'an is the Final Scripture.

Now, there are so many People who claimed to be sent by God especially within Christains who said they are "Prophets" These type of false Prophets are mainly found in Southern Nigeria, whom collects Money for God to remove all their Sins.

Are this not one of those False Prophets that Prophet Muhammad and Prophet Jesus told us? What can you say about this type of False Prophets mainly found in Southern Nigeria?

When a single mother raises her child and get's welfare, how much does the government pay per child? Also, shouldn't child support be equal to what the government would pay per child? In many cases the man ends up paying way too much for child support, because he makes a lot of money. The child would have had a good life with the father financially so the amount of child support would have to match to the fathers income. That's bull, if that's the case, then why not give the father custody in the first place, a lot of dads end up being dead beat dads not because they won't pay, but they pay way too much and are broke all the time. Honestly, when a person pays child support and the parent that has the child lives a better life off child support than the parent paying child support, there's a problem here. Any comments?

I'm not a racist or anything but one time I went to a flea market and I felt weird because I was the only black person there. Do any of you ever feel this way?

Can I please get a serious answer, they have never heard of jesus, nor has the majority of the inhabitants who ever lived here. Please don't say purgatory. If you don't even realize this is a spirtual realm, you can't justify purgatory. If you say that you are baptizing them in their graves, that seems blaspemous. What about their freewill. Are they wating in the grave? Do you know how magnetism works. We are a form of energy arent we. Science says so. We have magentic properties, am I right? Like attracts like, opposites repel. Yo uever been attracted to someone, did they have a good vibe? Just curious where they are?
