If Islam is the religion of peace and brotherhood, then why there are differences between the sects of Islam ? For example, Shia and Sunni etc.

I know this is purely hypothetical, since many of you Atheist don't have children, (and you said there is no God!) But if you where given an only choice for you child. Public Gang ridden School, or a free scholarship Christian School which would you choose?

How did women become so captivating?

Was it God? Did God intelligently design the female to be a wonderful creature, beautiful, exciting, intelligent, capable of doing anything?

Or is it a product of Evolution, and over the span of Oceans of Generations, did those females who have the aptitude to become beautiful and sexy and captivating get naturally selected?

Regardless, women have the most generous loving souls.

I don't care how that soul got in your body, woman, girlfriend, lover, wife, mother, soulmate, friend, sister,

How did you become, so captivating?

Yes the intelligent desing theory may prove that there is god, but if you study the theory closley it also proves that christianity is wrong, and that we as humans are insignificant. The theory simply states that something(god)set the mathamatical and physical constants during the big bang so as to allow evolution and life to happen.
Intellegent desing is incapatible with christianity.
Intelligent desing can't work without the theory of evolution!

Sky News anchor: Joining me now is a man who’s not known for sitting on the fence. He passionately opposed the invasion of Iraq and now he feels that Hizbullah is justified in attacking Israel. The Respect MP for Bethnel Green is in our London studio. A very good evening, uh good morning to you Mr. Galloway. How do you JUSTIFY your support for Hizbullah and its leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah?

Just as a reference, to bear false witness against a neighbor translates to lying.

There's one on Q&A'S, but I really think he is the Scarlet Pimpernel in disguise don't you know.

But getting back to the question do you have a Romany spirit lurking behind that facade of the respectable family man/woman with 2.1 children and would love to roam like free spirit..And where would you like to roam?.

Not too sure what category, but as this is a bit of whimsical question I've put it into Mythology & Folklore.

Is there a reasoning behind why mother raises a child going through a lot of pain and problems., headchaes. Is mother being logical doing things without expecting return? In eyes of Science, are mothers unreasonable beings? (I am alive thanks to my mom). In the eyes of science if I am not mistaken mothers actions can not be explained in scientific terms. or with theory of evolution.

There ARE differences between humans and other apes. Acknowledging that we come from a common ancestor will not affect the real differences. So, since admitting the real relation won't change your precious differences, why not do it? Many would say that it goes against the Bible, but we really are related. DNA evidence, and the OBVIOUS similarities are ENOUGH to prove that. Christians make apologies for the Bible all the time (like 6 of God's days are longer than 6 of ours) so I think it's actually narcissism that keeps your minds closed to the ideas in the theory of evolution--you are somehow afraid that it diminishes you to actually BE an animal. Am I right?

How come when lots of black male celebrities get famous, they automatically go for white, Asian, or biracial women? Wesley Snipes, Ice T, Charles Barkley, Dave Chappelle, Kobe Bryant, Taye Diggs....I mean....I'm not against interracial marriages, but it seems that we as black men have a certain belief of light-skinned as "success." Any takers?

You're a woman. You don't allow yourself to be alone with guys, young old, married or single, you always have a woman with you. You never smile at them or look at them in the eye to prevent them from thinking you are flirting or want some sex when you never do. You never ride alone in a car with guys. You never show chest or legs, your shirts go up to your neck, you always wear jeans and shirts that go down to your buttocks, you wear baggier clothes so guys can't notice your curves or what not.

Too much? Voice your opinion! I don't care what culture/religion/spiritually you're in.

I don't under why many Christians (though not all Christians) feel that I, and all other non-Christians, should convert to Christianity.

I am a Pagan, and for me it is the only spiritual path that has ever felt true or correct. But I don't think that everyone should believe what I do, or that anyone other than myself would be happy believing what I believe. I think that the path I'm on is a good spiritual path for me, and for me alone.

I didn't ever believe that any other religion was true, no other religious beliefs ever sounded like anything but odd stories to me. I fully understand that many people do believe that their religious paths are true, and I think that these religions are true for the people that believe in them.

But I would be a very unhappy Christian. I don't believe in any of the Christian doctrins, and I would be unhappy pretending to do so. I don't understand why anyone would want me to pretend to be something I just never could truly be. Can you explain it to me?

I am a guy who will be playing both a male and female role in a play. One scene involves a guy much taller than and physically stronger than me getting angry with me (in the female persona) and shouting and grabbing my arm, leading me to face someone I don't want to meet. I am trying to figure out how a girl would react in a situation like this (and feel inside). Would your instincts be to fight back, resist, or go along, or cry or something else? The script dictates somethings happen anyway, but this is just looking at subtle reactions that make it more believable or not that we can blend in.

Thanks

For the unintiated...

"For about two centuries, the hideous maceration of the body was regarded as the highest proof of excellence. . . .St. Simeon Stylites is probably the most remarkable...For a whole year, we are told, St. Simeon stood upon one leg, the other being covered with hideous ulcers, while his biographer [St. Anthony] was commissioned to stand by his side, to pick up the worms that fell from his body, and to replace them in the sores, the saint saying to the worms, "Eat what God has given you."
