My best friend Rodney is mentally retarded and we always hang out together. Sometimes whenever he walks down the street, people bump into him for no reason. I try defending him but it's not working. What should I tell him if people gets into him?

I think God was originally invented to keep the rest under control but the religious leaders lied so much and for so long that some of them began to almost believe it themselves

Hey everyone. I'm a Christian, and I know this has been asked before, but I'm kinda curious about how Christians feel about cursing? I don't curse usually, but at times I blurt out a few words, that aren't too extreme (ie. "What the hell?" "Dammit!") That's all I say, and I know u all prob think that's nothing, but how do u all feel about this? A few Christians that are true to God will say things like this, and are perfectly fine w/ it. Tyler Perry and his character, Madea (those who are familiar), always say these small curses and he's a saved Christian man. I know this is trivial, but I was just wondering how u feel. I'm not talking about words like F you, just the words that I've mentioned. How might this look on you, as a Christian? Thanks and God bless

Prophet Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him) clearly stated that He has come for the lost sheeps of Israelities, NOT for all of Humanity. While Prophet Mohammad (May Blessings and Peace of ALLAH Be Upon Him) came for all of Humanity (as it is stated in many of the verses of The Holy Quran). So, why are there so many Christians who even are Not from the House of Israelities. Also, Prophet Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him) message was only uptill the time of before Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him) message came from ALLAH (GOD). It is clear when Jesus told His Apostles, that He has many things to tell them, but They won't understand, so Jesus will pray to GOD for a Comforter which will tell u abt everything u need to know (not the exact translation, of course), and evidently That Comforter is Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him).
Want to hear some serious response regarding it, i m pretty sincere with this question, and i m sorry if any of the Christians' feelings got hurt, but its better to know Truth

All beliefs are welcome to answer, including athiests.

By "attacked", I mean actual physical or verbal abuse done in real life. A simple disagreement over words and belief systems DOES NOT COUNT. Seeing a statue/poster/artwork you find offensive DOES NOT COUNT. On-line communities do NOT count for this question. The attack has to be IRL, from another human person or persons.

The bible is like a book of sadistic fairy tales that was written by different writers, with different beliefs, edited and changed over time. The Catholic Church; had commitee like meetings in the past to decide what to believe and what to kick out. Also, Christians pick and chose what content they want to follow and use sin as an excuse. Does anyone actually read it and see all of the hate and prejudice it contains? How can someone jurisidict the wars and killings that stemmed from it's verses? Logic does not reside inside of it's pages. With all of these problems, why do people constantly use faith as if it is equivalent to fact rather than a blind person's attempt to explain the unknown?

It was disturbing. I dreamed my youngest son, age 20, who I am closest to, was killed on a railroad track. I dreamed I cried.

When I awoke, however, he was very much alive. I am grateful for that. My dreams, generally, don't foretell the future, so I am not terribly worried the dream will come true. It does help me appreciate how much I love my children.

Why do you think I had this dream? Is it a sign of depression, does it represent fear or insecurity? Have others had dreams like this where things turned out all right?

I am normally a very emotionally strong and stable person. If a child of mine were killed or died of other causes I WOULD cry. But I don't lie awake nights worrying this will happen.

Interested in your opinions.

Impose their belief on others and keep on preaching at people? but when anyone else says something about their actions they are quick to cry you are not respecting my beliefs?

I asked this question before and it was reported, why? it's not rude is it? did I hit a nerve?

would you punish their non-belief? If your children stopped believing you were their parent - would you make them suffer?

What iron clad proof do you have that refutes that there is a God in the universe. And please do not start quoting biblical scripture because youve proven over and over again that you do not have a clue how to even begin to understand the bible (and assumptions that can be twisted that you take from the bible is not proof that God doesnt exist anyways)
