Why do foreigners have difficulty making close friendships with your people? As an American who lived in Asia several years, Japan seems to be the most antisocial with respect to outsiders.

transportation, and your phone didn't work. What would you do? If you had a flash light would you use it? If you saw a cottage or some type of house, would you knock on the door? Would you be too scared to make a sound? What if you thought someone was following you? What if you hear weirder noises? How would you react to the whole situation? I kinda hoping for a short story but you can answer however you want.

I was raised strictly Baptist but am now sort of everything - a mix of Christian, Quaker, and Buddhist. Like when you were a kid, our parents either dragged us to church with them or stay home because they were atheist...

Did you enjoy growing up the religion you grew up with? Are you still that religion? If not, what do your parents think about that?

I am reading a book called, "The Laughing Jesus," in which the authors claim a distinction between "literalism" and their version of Gnostic Christianity. They claim that Gnostics used Jesus as a mythological device to explain their beliefs; but that a physical human never existed named Jesus. I find this confusing because other Gnostic literature does not seem to agree with this claim that Gnostics didn't believe in an actual human Jesus

Don`t they realize that both of those religion born in the same area and have some Jewish tradition???
Don`t they realize that in the past, both religion have a good relationship??

Muhamad even have a lot of Christian friends.....

I think none of those religion teaches bad things to people,
but that is the people who do not obey the rules of they religion and doing something bad...........

Did you wonder if your father would believe your story, and that he would go find you a husband fast? Ever wonder what Mariam's (Mary) father and mother thought about this story? Every wonder why GOD would send a Holy Angel to rape a married young woman (After all she was supposedly espoused, and that is according to Jewish Law, MARRIED....so any such story about GOD causing this girl to become pregnant is nonsense. GOD does not violate the TORAH or INSTRUCTIONS which by the WORD promotes Holiness for Israel. An espoused woman, or married, having intercourse with ANY other creature, or man, or myth,,,,would be brought to court and tried for adultery....if she was raped, she had recourse in the Law for redress, and who ever had caused her pregancy, was tried under this Strict law. To pass the whole virgin birth narrative off as Jewish history is to ignore the many myths that circulated in the region, and had been part of the Greek Pantheon for hundreds of years.

why do people think that the bible is true while a book such as the odyssey is considered fiction. it was written in a similar format to the bible and written before the bible. if it was popular to worship the odyssey im sure people would believe that too.

There appears to be a notion in American society that male homosexuals can not perform like heterosexuals. I really would like to know what exacly it is they think will happen when you let one do the job - and no, I'm not gay. Just bemused by the phenomenon, and non-judgmental about these things, but don't let that influence you please.
Thanks.

After you reach heaven, what is your goal? What can you do there? Will there still be love (the type between a man and a woman) and the pleasures that come along with it?

HAHA I guess I'm too lazy to find my Bible, sorry again.
