Im so confused, they say that God has told them to kill these abortionists, however they also say that God hates these people that kill...I dont understand how they justify what they are doing. By killing the people who perform abortions, your committing murder, which is what you claim you are trying to stop!!! Does anyone else find this the most ridiculous thing you have ever heard of???

Hi
I am a muslim. But I don't understand why people of different religions can't just share their knowledge, culture and religion without expecting them to convert to their way of thinking. Can't we all be like a grocery store which has all of the products lined up without any pressure and the customer evaluates and chooses on his own in a very comfortable environment. Not the environment where people argue from different religions. Let just be tolerant & Ready to learn new things from others./

I posted a fully detailed argument for the question, which wont fit here, at http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-YkHfXekwbrLjAFMPIIyoJzM-?cq=1&p=526

what I want to know is,

Wouldn't it make more sense, as a person with faith, to be pro-abortion knowing that any candidate for abortion is more likely to be born into a home where chances are the parent(s) are not religious and won't bring their child up to believe in God, therefore raising the odds that this child's life will end up landing his/her soul in hell?
Because before they were born, they were innocent and their souls would automatically be sent to heaven, but by saving their life (which, is likely to be full of hardship, if the parent(s) have reason to consider abortion in the first place) you now have taken that guarantee away from them, and put them in more danger of not attaining a spot in heaven that you ever had, since you were raised to believe in God.
(also, you can let me have it on my blog if you want to) ;)

Sometimes I feel really in tune with things and it seems like I can feel spirits or other beings around me. At times I am ok with this and just think that they will do me no harm, but other times I just get creeped out and really feel scared and paranoid. Sometimes I just get the feeling that something is watching me and I want it to go away and it freaks me out, and other times I think nothing is there or just think, oh well it's ok.

So what is your take on the spirit and ghost thing and the existance or nonexistance of paranormal beings?

This is a great work of fiction! I was amazed, since the author is female...the book has real guts!
Only problem was, the first book left me hanging. I understand the second book will be out soon, and I can't wait!
If you haven't read it, it's available at Amazon, BooksAMillion, and probably lots of other online bookstores. Just type in "The Book of Barabbas"

When my grandparents came to the US, they learned English. Yes, even though they worked, they found the time to learn the language. Even people from countries that use a totally different alphabet (Chinese, etc) manage to learn at least enough to get by. Yet ine (just one) group of people refuses to learn, gets catered to, and then those of us that think they should learn English (including people that DID learn when they moved here) are called racists. Why is this?

Yesterday at Sunday school I was confronted by my preist...a skinny man with glasses and a large beard. Earlier at sunday school I had questioned my teacher's explanation of what will happen to me when I die and how she knew this...She held up the bible and told me it explains everything and I asked her if she thought a book that says that itself is the word of god is a bit of a biased source. she left the room and....That's when the preist came IN! He took my by the arm and led me to his office and started explaining to me about how a virus can effect other people when coughed up and all other kinds of wierd stuff...then told me i was spreading a virus when I questioned this out loud. I still stuck with my point of view though and that's when, suddenly, he pulled a random paper cup from under his desk and filled it with KOOL-AID!!! Then, reached his other hand into his robe and *click*...what sounded like the lever of a pistol. He then offered me the kool-aid! I pushed over the...

It seems that I hear a lot of black people saying rude or disrespectful things about white people in a joking manner like its alright. Well, it's not. Like the other day, I was watching Comedy Central and a comedian began making sooo many rude jokes about how whites supposedly talk, dance, act etc. How is this accepted?

No matter the nature of the complaint and what's being complained about.

This definition is absurd to me and looks like the reasoning of a bully.

What do you think?

I am a dedicant of Wicca. Maybe I am trying to analyze but I wonder if anyone can tell me--or direct me to someone--who can explain what this line is supposed to mean:When misfortune is enow, Wear the Blue Star on thy brow. Along with any ideas or suggestions, I would greatly appreciate the citations or references from whence the info came! Thanks everyone.

Trying to think of Christmas gifts to give to our employees. I was thinking of these towel warmers (along with other items). We live in the North East US and it gets quite cold! Several employees have pools or like to go camping too so we thought this might be a good idea (can use it for drying clothes, warming clothes, etc). Any feedback??

www.warmrails.com is the site with the towel warmers.
