Jesus said..... "3Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."

What percentage of people do you think are truly "born again" and will be with the Lord when they die?

I've been studying Wicca for a little less than a year. I don't consider myself Wiccan or a "Witch", yet. But after years of believing certain ways, I found that Wicca fit me the best. How do I explain the beliefs to someone who only believes what they have been told to believe, and thinks that Wicca=Witchcraft=Evil etc, without getting into a whole theoretical debate, when they are bullheaded, and I'm only partly "armed" with the information that I've learned?

Equally misinterpreted is the following verse: "When the [four]forbidden months are over, wherever you find the polytheists, kill them, seize them, besiege them, ambush them – but if they turn [to God], maintain the prayer, and pay the prescribed alms, let them go on their way, for God is most forgiving and merciful." 9:5 The hostility and bitter enmity of the polytheists and their persecution of the Muslims during the time of the Prophet PBUH became so great that the disbelievers were determined to convert the Muslims back to paganism or finish them off. It was these hardened polytheists, who would accept nothing other than the expulsion of Muslims or their reversion to paganism, and who repeatedly broke their treaties, that the Muslims were ordered to treat in the same way – either to expel them or to accept nothing from them except Islam. But even then the Prophet and the Muslims were not simply pounce on such enemies, reciprocating by breaking treaties. So this ultimatum was issued

I think I have seen this mentioned a few times and would like to understand better. Doesn't sound very nice to hold me responsible for what some other dude did. Am I misinterpreting?

if someone or yourself is being attacked or harmed, do buddhists believe in taking physical action against the perpetrator? in other words, are they allowed to kill in defense?

This "Slay them wherever you find them" verse of the Qur'an. ‘Wherever you find them’ or ‘come up against them’ is misunderstood. As exegetes and commentators explain, the Muslims were anxious that if their enemies attacked them in Mecca, which was and is a sanctuary – in which no Muslim is allowed to fight, or kill even an animal or plant – and they retaliated and killed, they would be breaking the law. The Qur’an simply reassured the Muslims that they could defend themselves when attacked, even if they killed their attackers, whether within the sanctuary or outside it. For all you ignorant bashers who always refer to this verse, don't you feel stupid? (You should)

Ok, this might sound pretty boring to you, but I asked a question less than an hour ago, and I didn't think anyone would know the answer... and less than 5 minutes later, someone gave me the answer I had been waiting for for so many years... I couldn't remember the name of a video game I used to play with when I was a kid... the answer brought back many good memories... that was amazing! What about you?

Has anyone that's gay ever argued with their boyfriend or girlfriend in public, and made it clearly obvious that you were gay( from what you were arguing about), and then you got mean or weird looks ( maybe from a homophobe who thinks that gays shouldn't argue in public)?

Examples of what you were arguing about would be nice.
Telling me the response would be even nicer.

And did you feel like you should have believed them if they said something about it in the past but you dismissed the statement thinking that it wouldnt happen? Did you think about all the things you should have done to prevent it, and did you love and miss them sooooo much that you feel like you would do ANYTHING if it meant you could be with them again or show you're sorry?
