Example, they want eveyone to believe the Judeau-Christain God, and the Islamic God are the same. Yet, they always use the word "Allah" instead of God. Why? To divide religions.

Same with the words Islam and Muslim. Lets define those 2 words.
"Islam" is the readiness of a person to take orders from God and to follow them. "Muslim" is a word taken from the word Islam. It applies to the person who is ready to take orders from God and follow them.

Now, in the Koran, the Koran states that various biblical people stated they were muslims, which of course would have been impossible, as the very language itself was not created. So, what Moses, Abraham, etc would have said " I follow your order" or something to that effect. But, the muslims will interject their "muslim" word, saying Abraham procalimed to be a "muslim" as in meaning the religion, not the submission, or the following of God's orders.

I dont have enough room to show the hundreds of daily examples they attempt ...

That if you say you dislike welsh people you are called racist. Nationalist maybe but not racist.
I grew up in Cheshire and unforunately have met many many welsh people in my time, not one of whom I liked. Have I just been unlucky? I like people based on who they are not where they are from.

Agnostic:
One who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God.
One who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism.

I consider myself an agnostic, and I was wondering how the rest of you feel about this group. Do you feel admiration for keeping an open mind and not dealing in absolutism? Or is it disdain because you view us as wishy-washy and timid people who just can't make up our minds and don't take a stand? Something in-between?

I'd like to hear from both Theists and Atheists (and other agnostics even), so lay it on me! :)

You might say most of the religions are against women’s freedom and moderns way of life.

But since I have read the Iran’s rules as the state Islamic rules, I said to myself,,, mmm,, would be a good idea to buy a holiday ticket for my girl friend and her close friend whenever they try to wind me up?

But I am scared if she could come back alive?

I've already written about gas prices, taxes, the patriot act, and immigration. I don't want to write about the war between Isreal and Hezbollah for several reasons.

Don't get me wrong. I like lesbians and have them as friends. However, I sometimes think they defend every aspect of a gay man's lifestyle without knowing what that lifestyle is really like. What's your take on this? Do lesbians realize that all possible aspect of the gay lifestyle are not necessarily healthy?

Since other forms of life could dominate our primitive culture maybe they play with our simple emotions and use powers that amaze us to do all types of things. Think about it ...Jesus walking on water? Jesus making the death hear & making the blind see again? Moses parting the Red Sea? Winged creatures that look human fighting each other...good versus evil? All cultures around the world have experienced unknown miracles and unexplained phenomom?

Please only answer if you are a Christian. Thank you.

I am a Christian. I believe in evolution. I have 3 questions for my fellow Christians.

1. Do you believe in evolution too?

2. If you don't believe in evolution, do you think I am not a true Christian (and going to Hell) or simply misled (but still a Christian)?

3. Why don't you believe that evolution and God could both exist? Or, why do you think they could? God created the world, and in that world evolution occurred, leading up to humans, who are in the image of God. The Bible is still true, but some of the stories are metaphors or simply how the writers understood the world at that time. That's what I believe. Why can't this be the case? Why is it necessary to condemn evolution?
