Do you really believe that everyone who doesn't believe in jesus will go to hell? It seems that if jesus truely knew the inside of everymans heart he would know if one is serious in his convictions or not. If someone could not bring themselves to believe in jesus due to other religion, or beliefs then do you really think jesus would punish those who may be at a "disadvantage" to know the gosple...i mean who has a better chance of becoming christian..the ministers daughter, or the whores daughter.

i want all to know that i am totally fine with homosexuality by the way, just wonder why some gay men have an accent or act feminine. the point is to date anouther man right, not a female. my brother is gay by the way but he doesnt have those traits so dont call me a stereotypeing *******.

According to a wise man this is the way to the highest form of human excellence. Which is opposite to what religion preaches. T

The only good is knowledge; the only evil is ignorance.

ok I know I am biased here but if other Arab nations wanted to truly help end the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians why don’t they open their borders to their Muslim brothers and allow them to immigrate to other Muslim nations and become citizens like Israel did for Jewish Arabs after 1948?

I mean if Israel is truly mistreating the Palestinians then why not help them out? I would bet you Israel would even pay for the expenses.

Instead this is how they treat them.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_refugee#Treatment_in_Arab_countries

the only conclusion I can draw is that other Arab nations truly do not want peace short of Israelis destruction and are using the Palestinians to do it. I wish I was wrong but I don’t understand it any other way.

many places you see pictures/images of Jesus. Does he really look like that or is it just a painter's fugure? I believe He does look like that cause people has seen Jesus in dreams and vision unlike the Muslims they dont even know how Muhammad looks like till this day. Does Muhammad really exsist i always wonder....

Here in New Mexico, i've been to a bunch of native American pueblos / reservations / villages and almost all have a big sign saying no photography, filming, drawing, painting, sketching, etc.... and anyone who does will be fined. Is this a part of their religious belief? The reservations, can sometimes be quite beautiful, but i will respect their request as they have asked.

On sites like this ignorant young Jewish brood like "NamesAreMuchTooConfining" [good one Moses], and "Step Off" (that untamed Jewess) are always bragging about how smart the Jews are -- so they should have a nice Happy parade all the way down 5th Avenue -- mainly about how ignorant or smart they are.

(And my father's Jewish too)... just to.

If you had choices of making good money but working too much and being more stressed because of the physical and emotional stress, or making less and only having enough to survive, but being happy and able to have more time for yourself. What would you choose?

I've seen the acronym IHS all over the place--on altar cloths, holy cards, vestments, and prayerbooks--but I have no idea what it stands for. A friend signs his letters "IHS" and says it means "In His Service." What's the scoop?

In response to missnikid's "German Tosser Qusetion" ("why are German people downright rude and ignorant...?"), it might be equally worth asking why the English people (from the German perspective) are obsessed with 1966 and WW2 ("we won the war", forgetting the Russians and Americans of course), and are prone to violent and drunken bouts of hooliganism...

Actually another ridiculous question of course - yet another national stereotype!

Isn't it closer to the truth that the Germans and the English are rather more similar than most of us would care to admit? which some of us find difficult to accept?

I write as an Englishman with half English, half German background.

I am a Christian but have some trouble understanding preordination. Like a factious book that is to be released in 2 days. The author knows all about the book start, finish, all in between. The readers know nothing about the story. The author has prescripted/preordained what will happen. The readers can't change it. How be it fictional,the characters in the book can't change anything, all things are scripted and in place. Is our life like that? God the author and we are going through the prescripted/preordained motions as the book (our lives) dictitates. If so, what choice do we have? The book (our life) is already set and we had nothing to do with it. Is that the way it is? God knows all things. He saw us in our mothers womb and before. I WILL be saved but this troubles me. Could Hitler have changed his life? Did he have a choice or was he a kind of "scape goat?" A guy gets killed in war. Had no choice in the matter. Did nothing wrong. Didn't want it to happen but it did Y Help me

The Muslims say that the Jews are foreigners in the Middle East. That they need to return to Europe, where they came from.

Then how can they explain the contradiction in this situation where Muhammad encountered and defited Jewish tribes. And, in addtion, one of his wives was Jewish (from the same tribe that he defited)?

Can someone explain this contradiction, if Jewish people are from Europe only, how come they are mentioned as a tribe and from where was his Jewish Wife?
