When I'm weak, I am strong.
Because I die, I live.
I am poor, but I have wealth beyond my wildest dreams.
I can do nothing yet, I can do everything.
Who am I?

I was watching the learning channel on urban legends and there was a person who bought a chevy malibu that was able to get 200 mpg.They were driving it home from a lot that was about1800 miles from thier home and only used up 1/2 tank.When they got up in the morning, there were two men taking something from under the hood of the vehicle.There was a device on it that was able to make it have 200 mpg.He said he saw them take it and run to thier cars and take off.It was an experimental car(the car was not an experiment, but what was under the hood) and the dealer sold them the wrong car.When he started his car up after he seen the men tampering with it, the car started right up.And now the car gets regular gas mileage.What are your thoughts on this?

Muhammad's conduct includes:

Commanded war parties to killing of enemy;
Married a nine year old when he was fifty-three;
Ethnically cleansed all jews from the Arabian pennisula;
Owned many slaves till his death;
Married many woman.

In Islam, these acts are deemed example of perfect behavior becaise the Quran declares that all of Muhammad's behavior was perfect and set the standard for all humans to follow for all time.

However, today, only Islamic culture upholds these behaviors as virtuous.

Is this relative?

Why are the rates of teenage pregnancy and abortion considerably greater in the highly religious US than in much more secular countries of Western Europe?

e.g:

Sweden, Denmark, France, Germany and Spain: Less than 1%
UK: 2 - 3%
USA: 5.5%

I believe it's also true to say that the US has a higher proportion of its population in prison than any other country in the world, but I haven't found the figures to substantiate that.

Is there a connection between prevalence of religious belief and all these social ills, and if so what is it?

I'm not talking about something on the scale of TRUEpeace's "Zionism" question. I'm imagining a scenario in which your specific faith (and no other) is found to be based on a catastrophic misinterpretation of the founder(s) words, or made up whole cloth.

I am Catholic and wonder if any Catholics are familiar with this Bible? It's an English translation of the Latin Vulgate Bible, a version universally used in the Church for over 1500 years, and meticulously translated from the original Hebrew and Greek by St. Jerome (A.D. 340-420).

You are too humorless! Haven't you heard the term sarcasm before or meet sarcastic people? You made me spit my water from laughing when you take what I say too seriously. Study Psychology, Humanities, Philosophy and Social Science!!!! It's great for understanding people and the World!!! Don't Stay with scientific knowledge. It makes you intolerant to others and to yourself!

I need to send something to someone named Lynne, but I've never met this person, so I don't know whether it's a man or a woman. Most of the people named Lynne that I've met have been women, but I've also met a few men with this name.

This person is probably aged between 25 and 50. Do you think it's more likely that this person is a man, or a woman? How should I address them in the letter: Mr, Mrs, or Ms?

I mean this question with the greatest respect for everyone's religious beliefs; I'm simply curious about what the belief is. If a muslim man goes to heaven to meet his 72 virgins, what awaits a muslim women in heaven? Also, are the 72 virgins a man gets in heaven like angels, or are they real women who have died?

I am very pro Israel in this recent conflict, I feel any western democracy has/will behaved in the same manner against attacks on their people.

I justly defend all minority groups and like most of you will report racism on this site when I see it.

Someone posted an anti Jew website a moment ago and I hesitated .
I didn't really see it as racist to start with
Wrong, certainly, but not racist.
I really didn't think that I had double standards.
