This is exactly what happened. Read the story for yourself and see just how far down the slippery slope we have gone with this one. Disrespecting life at any stage leads to continuely more blatant violations of ethics.

I know, I know, you're going to say "you're not the messiah", but what if people had said that to jesus? we'd be one messiah short of eternal salvation, that's what. sometimes you just have to have faith my children.

Would you - as soon to be parents - buy a 3D wooden image of your unborn child, if this was possible when getting a regular scan?

Most Muslims believe that Americans should understand "true Islam" and thus despite their Islamic governments invitations, should know enough not to accept those invitations and thus not have any troops in Islamic lands.

Of course, almost every muslim believes that there should never be any non-muslims in the holiest of islamic lands.

What about non-muslims who dont appear to be "troops"? Well, if your a "guest" of someone, then it should be ok and you shall be "protected". However, even this is not fool proof, because there are still many fatwas outstanding which demand the outright murder of non-muslims, so there appears to be no fail safe method of being strictly within narrow Islamic allowances for dimmi (lesser people or non-muslims) in Islamic lands.

Muslims, advise people, who may want to visit Islamic lands, how their lesser presence can be most safely assured from the very fine religious sensiblities of all Muslims in the area.

let me just give you some background info:
i've been "christian" all my life (born that way...i guess) but only recently have i opened up a bible and really get interested in the christian religion

my question is...how can all these tales be believed?

it's so unbelievable that i can't believe people really believe in this. i believe there is a God...there are so many miracles that has happened with no reasonable answer and so we call it "God's work". i've been talking to my pastor about these stories and how crazy these tales are (splitting of water, food for millions from just a piece of bread...etc)

i feel like it is very odd that we (anyone who believes the words of the bible) believe in this stuff. i know there is a God, and there's definetly a Satan...but what's what about these stories?

i'm definetly not trying to defame christianity, i'm just questioning like any other confused person.

Hi,
I have had a tremendous amount of 'bad luck' for the past 4 years. My question is why am I having such bad luck- one thing after another in my life. Any insight on my life that may help me out of this? I am doing some personal healing and trying to change and have more positive thoughts and going to therapy. I have marriage , money, children, grief problems. Any insight on this? Thanks, greatly appreciate it!
Thanks!

Not interested in short yes or no answers. Please back up your opinions with websites, book titles, facts, etc. if you have them. I am just beginning my quest to find the real answer after a VERY strange thing happened in my life! Please help. P.S. I've been an ambiguous agnostic my entire life.

Over the years on the internet, many christians state they will pray for me. Hmm. I don't think all the praying that they do has done much. Here I am still with the same questions and disdain for christianity. I'm still ripping on them and calling god a cυnt. Some good praying does.

So, is the point of praying nothing more than to make yourselves feel better? If so, that's pretty selfish.

I have observed that praying is very much similar to an ostrich putting their head in the ground to "hide" themselves.
