The best you can do is the Virgin Mary on a grilled cheese sandwich.

Whatever happened to seas being parted and people being raised from the dead? How no one is around to heal lepers anymore? When was the last time you came across a talking donkey who told you to bow before the angel of the lord?

Anything that people try and pass off as miracles these days can easily be explained as natural phenomenon or cult mentality. Is that any different from the good ol' days?

Hi, can you tell us how to say "No thanks, I have my own aardvark" in your language?

We already have it in many languages, but would like to check some of the major ones, and would love some input from speakers of less well-known languages, particularly African/Middle Eastern/Asian languages!

Also, if there exists a specific word for aardvark in your language, please use it.

Thank you very much!

It appears all Muslims will agree that the Qur'an is undeniably God's Word. But since the Hadiths are not considered God's Word, does it mean Sharia (Islamic law) cannot be reliably derived from the Hadiths?

The "bad press" surrounding Islamic law always points to the fact that certain countries and juristictions justify execution and other brutal punishments using variations of Sharia as an excuse. If a Muslim is executed for violating Sharia which does not disobey the Qur'an, could that person be considered a martyr?

I have three children, two of which have ADHD and one that suffers depression and learning disabilities. Presently they are receiving supports from a number of agencies but I wish to move from the city I am in presently. I would like to move and have been considering a number of different places. I can only do this, however, if I can find the right support for my children. Does anyone know of available supports in the London Ontario area or can direct me to the right place to get some more information. The cities web site has very little information on this topic as I have checked.

I always say that if I did, I would keep it a secret for about a week. Just give myself time to absorb it & savour the thrill quietly before being bombarded by the media & everyone else. How would you handle it?

The goal within my church is to make it an "experience" for the younger generation rather than a traditional typical boring Sunday service most of our parents/grandparents grew up with ... What does the younger generation like/dislike about attending church? What are some ideas that may make church more enjoyable? etc, etc ...Thanks!

that you have heard the voice of God. If so, can you tell the situation and what he said to you. I believe that God talks to us. Some people believe that it's your conscience, but I don't believe that. I believe that God really speaks to you, if your close to him. Be it in your spirit, or in your heart, but I truly believe that you can hear the voice of God. Examples anyone?

ahhh i was just stuck behind this old couple just standing on the esculator..
i know i could have asked them to step aside so i could squezze by and walk down..
but i decided instead to put it to all of you..

do you stand on the esculator or do you walk down?
does it bother you when people just stand there?

i dislike it like a lot and find it an inconvience when i'm in a hurry to get down to the lower level.

am i really impatient?

My parents and I have discussed the fact that any one who did not agree with Joseph McCarthy and the witch hunts then was called 'commie, traitor, pinko' and often investigated or worse. worse. Reading peoples vicious reactions in Answers, do you think the climate is such that it will give rise to another crucible eventually and that Homeland Security and other agencies will be involved?
