As a muslim I don't associate anything/anybody (who is creatd by god) with god for worshiping .how about you?

in Islam we only worship god ,we dont worship things or people that are created by him, that we can see,hear, smell, imagine ....(even if they are so great people like his messengers ....)
this is the way of worship in islam.
this unity(oneness) of god is so beautiful in islam, because truth is beautiful,
and in fact when you are in a dangerous situations when you really need help, you talk to god naturally and ask him to help you,
in those moments maybe you dont even think about god`s name
but you know you talked to ONE same god. a god who is so near to us(it is mentioned in the holy quran that god is closer to us than our neck`s vein), yes he is closer to us than ourselves,

and we believe he is the best in everything (he is perfect) and logically it is impossible to have more than one best in everything.
why some people associate creatures with the creator????
he is the most powerful, all knowing, most kind ....

Hi, one letter is wrong on my drivers license. All the info on my credit cards is correct. I need to rent a car this weekend and I am worried that they may not let me because they don't match. I can't get this corrected in time either. You thoughts?

I mean I'll still do good and believe that there is "someone" up there, I just believe having a certain religion is just another way for man to judge each other am I wrong?

are you all masons/OTO (Ordo Templi Orientis) members, or are you just so over zealous than you haven't noticed that your leaders are? being zealous is a good thing - if for the right reason.
and what do you think the Trementina/california bases are really about?

I have been having several mental issues for the past 8 yrs. At first, I wondered why I have to go through this in the first place but I got myself back up and decided to keep trying to overcome it.
After 8 yrs, I still struggle now with no SIGN of turnaround. I have been praying hard and trying hard at the same time but I am still struggling. After all I am 24 now. I wonder if my life is cursed and I will be like this for the rest of my life.
I just want to be happy. I just want to be ordinary. I don't care about money or fame. Why is it so hard for me to even live ordinary life? I can't stop feeling my life is cursed.

There was a question posted by Larry about why Christians try to 'convert' others to Christianity since the Holy Bible says plainly that only 144,000 people are going to heaven.

Indeed the Bible does say that "an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel" have their names sealed and are granted passage to Heaven (of course, I'm paraphrasing). What you left out, oh questioner, is that just after that in Revelation Chapter 7 verse 9 there is detailed "a great multitude, which no man could number (meaning count), of all nations, and kindred, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb (Jesus) clothed in white robes". Then is verse 13, and elder asks "What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?" which is answered in verse 14 "These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb".

Email me back I'm out of space here.Thanks

Are you racist, sexist, do you pick on favoritism, do you base people on the past, or do you judge people before you really know them? Do you not speak up when some one is hurting some one else physically or mentally? Do you cry when some one hurts your feelings or dose it bother you at all? Do you think all Muslims are terrorists, all Mexicans and blacks are in gangs, all Americans are fat, and it is ok to make mean comments when some people do not know something like how to do a math problem or spell? Where do you stand, and what kind of person are you? Are you happy or are you sad? Are you angry or glad? If you do belive in god and he says not to judge others and if you do! Than Why?

I am a Christian and want to start tithing. Problem is, I feel drawn to tithe (at least for now) to a Christian based organization. I don't really have a church I want to donate to. Is donating to this organization still in line with the Bible, or do I have to tithe to a church?

I've noticed a bit of a difference in beliefs among Christians. On one hand - Jesus died for your sins so that you may repent and be forgiven. On the other - Jesus died for your sins, so you will be forgiven no matter what. Can anyone explain this difference, how it developed, and/or which sects believe which?

Or am I just misunderstanding? I'm especially interested in hearing how that works out for sinners in the end.

Christians, here is a chance to show your ability to be compassionate to the least of these.
Let's say abortion is now overturned and a woman can no longer obtain an abortion.

It's a definite fact that most women do NOT give up their children after carrying the child for 9 months. And it's likely that most of these women will decide to raise their children.

With that in mind, what would Jesus say to do to help these women and children?

It is a fact that the white race has the best thinkers and achievers. We created civilization, the computer, machinery, technology, nations and states.

What have the darkies ever done that is positive? I cannot think of anything good they have done.

I am stunned by how many people posting questions and answers do not seem to have even a basic grasp of spelling, grammar and sentence structure. It's like reading the musings of three-year-olds and doesn't bode well for the future of our language, let alone our nation. What's more, nobody seems to mention it. How can we make people care more about reading and writing like functioning English-speakers?

It just seems like satan is trying to tare me apart. It seems the closer school gets here the harder he tries to take me down. Why? I am only 17 and am going through more stress and worrying more than an adult would. I try to relax and pray but the more I do that the harder satan hits at me. Just when it seems things are ganna be good he strikes again. I just don't understand why he keeps striking at me. I don't know if I can handle every thing he is throwing at me. He doesn't wait to see if the first thing gets me down before he throws another he just keeps it all coming and its pileing up. The pile is just so high. Sometimes I feel like I can't go on. My friends really aren't friends I have no one at my church that is my age to talk to these things about. I talk to some of the adults and my pastor but its just not the same. I just want to meet one person about my age that can help me. Someone who is or has gone through some of the same things as I am going through. rachaelk2007@yahoo

The posture of prayer is similar to Vajrasana which is an important posture in Yoga and the 'Mudra' by keeping the palms in a particular manner during prayer, besides collective prayer are original contributions of Buddhism which was 1200 years older than Islamic teachings.
