Youve been in a deep sleep, when suddenly you are awakened by a feeling you are not alone. You open your eyes and see a figure at the bottom of your bed. Its to tall to be any children you may have and if you have a partner they are asleep beside you and you cannot seem to be able to wake them up. What would you do?

"19.27": And she came to her people with him, carrying him (with her). They said: O Marium! surely you have done a strange thing.

"19.28": O sister of Haroun! your father was not a bad man, nor, was your mother an unchaste woman.

"19.29": But she pointed to him. They said: How should we speak to one who was a child in the cradle?

"19.30": He said: Surely I am a servant of Allah; He has given me the Book and made me a prophet;

"19.31": And He has made me blessed wherever I may be, and He has enjoined on me prayer and poor-rate so long as I live;

"19.32": And dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me insolent, unblessed;

"19.33": And peace on me on the day I was born, and on the day I die, and on the day I am raised to life.

"19.34": Such is Isa, son of Marium; (this is) the saying of truth about which they dispute.

There are so many things to ask for, but I think I would ask God to show himself to everyone so they could see that He is real. How about you?

If you are lucky enough to survive nine months in the womb, you have about a 20% chance of dieing before your 2nd birthday (depending on where you where born). Now you are up against some heavy hitters like malaria, infection and viruses. Remenber the Black Death? He got about 45% of us on that one. Then just for fun He throws in earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tidal waves, floods, drought, and meteors. Let us not forget cancer, heart attacks, arthiritis, and one He must really enjoy Alzhiemers. Then after you have staggered throught the mine field of dangers, He brings out the ultimate weapon. Cellular degeneration. Trump card. You're dead. And I'm supposed to think He loves me? Talk about tough love. I don't know about you, but if I see Him coming, I'm crossing the street.

So I am reading the ban on abortion and some ignorant Christian Extremist states "They should take responsibility or not have sex"..now I respect her right to her opinion, but who the hell is she to tell someone how to live? What right does she have to tell someone else what to do or not to do? This is the problem with Christian's....they think they are in charge and have this right when they don't. Why do they force their false God and ideas on others?

Today its fiction. But who knows.

Why I am so interested in it? Time Machine will find out the truthfulness in every religious claims. Time machine would tell us what transpired and what has not. Maybe if such machine existed all the confusions brought about by religions would finally come to rest. All will be united even among with the non-believers as well .

So is there a chance for that machine taking shape in the future?

I was wondering if this was true. I heard that in Scientology they belive that a long time ago this guy made it to where a bunch of aliens were popcycle frozen and then dropped into a hawiian volcano which lifted their spirits into a giant soal catcher that was in space. Then the spirits brainwashed the cavemen and made them believe a bunch of history then they left behind all kinds of evedince of dinosoars and other stuff. and that the reason this guy made the aliens do all this stuff is because something horrible had happpened in the past and he wanted the world to forget about it because it was causing rival and destroying the world as they knew it, so he felt he had to create a new one.

Is wheat relentlessly gaining ground each Year? What of other grass staples, like rice and barley; even beloved American corn!! Do they play a part in this world domination? What can be done to stop them? Won't anyone think of the future for our children? Can we all pray to our Lord and Salvation for deliverance from this horde of grains?

Muslims insist Jesus was a Muslim. Did Jesus mention anything about praying 5 times a day? Did he tell his followers to not take someone as a friend based on their religion? Did Jesus require his followers to make a pilgrimage to Israel at least once in their life "if they can afford it"? Did Jesus claim that Jews changed scripture? Did Jesus claim that he flew to Israel on the back of a mythical creature and had a chat with Moses?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once upon a time in my india there lived a Guru (holy man) who owned a cat ok. the giru was very fond of the cat and the cat intern loved the guru alot. This man had a habit of taking the cat to the temple and tying it near the alter till the service ended. in due course the guru died and his successor feeling sorry for the cat allowed it to be tied next to the alter. some time later the cat died and the worshippers found that they missed its presence during the services, and got another cat and did the same by tying it next to the alter.
300 years down the track there was still a cat tied in the temple and no one knew how this tied up cat syndrome became part of their religious service.

now this is how every religious idea, practice and custom came in to existance.
what do you think?
