Just watch what is happening around the world, in any country and any city you can see the works of Satan either by terrorism, or local violence between races or groups. but whare as at the same time some of the (not all) ministers of God or socalled ministers in the T.V. or in your local places live like a anything they dress up and decorate their studio like any thing......... long haired male preachers, very attractively dressed female preachers they just use the resources of the believers some of them offer from their poor backgrounds. They rather serious on how they look then what they preach...they will request you donate to the poor in Ruwandah or Somalia or Sudan or to some disaster places with the glittering rings on their fingers, glittering ear rings on their ears....?????!!!!!!

Most people would suppose imperfection is the opposite of perfection. On a basic molecular level everything IS perfect. Even on a day to day basis the result of a serious accident could be deemed perfect, because the perfect 'ingredients' are in place to make it a 'perfect accident' Otherwise it would have never happened that way. Even if had happened another way that would be perfect too. Surely evrything IS perfect in this sense.

I reckon it can't because the optic nerve won't let the eye extend beyond its socket. Also, the eye muscles would need to be cut - meaning that the eye could never work again after removal. (That US basketballer simply lost his eyelid, temporarily, behind his eyeball). My friends disagree.

I impressed girls before, and I don't impress them wearing fancy clothing, and driving expensive car. But been real, not acting someone who is not me. I don't try to talk hard, talk to her about how tough I can be. I just BE ME. Polite, quiet, and SERIOUS. Doesn't this work?

Whenever people from other religions pose tough questions which i cannot answer, and start to question christianity's validity, i just retort by saying "read the bible", "go **** a sheep" or "do not question jesus". Or start quoting totally irrelevant and cryptic quotes from the bible that if correctly manipulated when translated could mean "i ate dog biscuit lunch today".

Also, i trust everything the bible says and truly believes it is talking about dinosaurs and **** when people ask me. And also when questioned on the convenience of the old testament saying of a 2nd coming but the new testament saying there will be no future revelations.

Also whenever i see people of other religion i have the urge to bring them to the light, and make them see that jesus is great and other religion are lies.

I also refuse to see that my religion sucks compared to other religions and always have the my-religion-is-better-than-yours mentality.

Am i suffering from "Christian-bullshit-itis"?

Why is it that science cannot/ has not proven evloution (meaning the changing of species, or the cosmic origins, or the origins of life) and yet people believe it. They take it without question. They simply look at the looney professor that made the statement and consider him to be smarter than they and then they trust him. And they do this with an eternal destination in the balance? How can we show them in a meaningful way that rejection of God is far more than just simply quibling over the fact that we refuse to accept the belief that life just popped out of a rock...?

This decade doesn't even have a name. Some people call them the "Noughties", but this is nonsense as the Americans don't use the word "nought" for zero like we do. Pop music is reheated pap, our politicians are crap, and there are no overriding fashions or themes that we'll look back on to identify these times as unique... just an empty-headed, introspective iPod generation vegetating in front of the umpteenth episode of Hollyoaks that week. So why is this decade so crap? Or do you thing it will start to take off now?

I've asked Christians this, I'm curious as to how Muslims answer this question. If god is omnipotent, omniscient, and benevolent, why is there evil and suffering?
