I'm a white British lad who wants to find out more about Islam as I have read an English edition of the Holy Qu'ran and would like to learn as much as I can about Islam- I do not know if it would be correct for me to visit a Mosque in the Middle East as I have friends in Jordan and Egypt who can arrange this- what would you recommend? Thanks!

Psychologists say that people will die for what they believe in unless they've been given proof that the belief is false. We won't die for something that we know is false. We especially wouldn't go through torture for something that we made up.

Many argue that Jesus was never resurrected, and that His followers only made up the story to start a church (?). Not that the argument isn't flawed in other ways, but I offer up the following:

With this in mind, think about the apostles of Jesus that were willing to die in horrible torturous ways defending their rabbi that they saw resurrected. Would you let someone skin you alive knowing that you'd made something up? Would you let them burn your or crucify you upside down? Would you sit in prison after prison simply because you talked about this event? I don't believe anyone would.

I am going to give a 30+ minute oral report on the topic "Homosexuality" to my fellow students in a Human Sexuality course. This is a college level course to a group of mostly young heterosexuals. While I have more than enough material, my problem is narrowing it down.

Please answer the question(s) below in the category that fits you.

For my LGBT FAMILY:
What information would you want to make sure that the heterosexual population knows about us? Are there any sub-topics that you think are an absolute MUST when educating others?

For the HETEROSEXUAL POPULATION:
What do you want to know about homosexuals? Please, suggest ANYTHING. What topics would interest you if you were listening to a 30 minute oral report on the subject?


Either specific questions or broad general ideas will be appreciated. All answers will be seriously considered. If you don't want to answer publicly, please email me privately.

Thank you so much for any help you can give me!

Meglomania has no bounds.

Imagine a God with Omnicience, Omnipotence, and Immortality at a level infinitely beyone what we ever could perceive. This eternally powerful entitly creates Galaxies and Universes with a mear will. He also creates life!!! All forms, all species. One of which is Human. Who is infinitely inferior to God. Who is limited to only a miniscule fraction of information about the universe and who's minds cannot comprehend the God. And what is it that God want's from the Humans? He wants them to say just how great of a guy he is, but not just great.....GLORIOUS!!!
I've never met him, but he's GLORIOUS.
Don't know why he wants me to say it but, He's GLORIOUS.
Mom could I get some milk "GLORIOUS!!!"

My knowledge of him is limited and even what I read could be false. Even so, my information is limited so my judgement of and eternal being would be pointless, but for some reason your God insists on his followers on making obtuse praise to him.

NO .Absolutely not.Life is a great gift from ALLAH .ALLAH gave life and he is one and only person have rights to take it away.We have no rights to take it.At the DAY OF JUDGEMENT sure we have to answer for his question.So suicide bombers are cursed by ALLAH not praised by him.

If I force others to do what I think is right, do I not also have the responsibility to help out those who's lives are changed because of my " belief " that I am right?
Can I force a change in others moral ideas and not be responsible for them when my forced oppinion is placed on them?
Where is the responsibility?

I just love it when straight people get on this web site and start telling us all about being gay and the reasons we are etc etc ad nauseum. What gives them the special knowledge to know more than my 57 years of being gay gives me? I only hope they realize that they are one of the main reasons why gay teenage suicide is at record levels,,and that they are proud of themselves for contributing to it. What possible difference would it make if it were a choice? Nobody is recruiting them to join. Usually people make choices because the alternatifve is worse for them. Please get try to walk a mile in our shoes before you judge us so harshly. And I just love the ones who say they don't hate homosexuality --just the deed. THen let they, themselves lead sexless celibate lives...even their own priests couldn't follow htat one

Is there any religion that has it right? Personal i think that all of the religions of the world are to selfish and to cought up in them self's. Man got it all wrong when they took an idea and put a Belief structure on it. it is ok to have belives but when you begin to tell some one their belief is wrong, who is really wrong? you or the other person? Should it matter what you have belief in? Should it matter what you have fath in as long as you have fath?

There are a few loo-related Qs on here today, which have reminded me of a pet hate. Why do interior designers, architects or whoever is responsible for modern building design think it is desirable for toilets to be unisex? Why on earth would they think women want to share a lav with blokes? Nothing against men, but as far as toilets go, men are dirty and smelly. I was in a restaurant the other week: the food and service were very good but it put me right off when I went to look at the porcelain and it was unisex. Does anyone actually think unisex bogs are a good thing?
