If not, do you think electricity would have been invented by now? What other things do you think would / wouldn't exist if the world was made up of only females? This is not a sexist question and I would appreciate only serious answers!

In His Divine Teachings, the Lord Buddha had clearly proved that He is the Holy Spirit and He teaches the worship of God. Now, why do you pray before Buddha, why do you consider Him as the highest Personality among men, why do you ignore the Great Prophets such as Moses, Christ, Muhammad...and how do you understand the Nothingness, Suchness, Nirvana? If Buddha is only a simple enlightened man, why nobody becomes enlightened like Him in the long period of 2500 years?

There is a girl that I really like and Ihave prayed a lot to God to ask if he could help me in any way shape or form. I know this sounds very selfish and childish but I'm desperate. I have even gone so far as too go without cursing and doing any other of my usual sins for 40 days to show God how much I want this. Do you think he will come through?

Quoted from the hate mail sent to the FSM website:

Hi,

I seriously can’t wait to get into heaven! I can’t wait until I see you non-believers try to get in. I will seriously be laughing my *** off.

I can’t wait to be in heaven, watch you pitiful non-believers try to get in and watch Mary, the mother of Jesus, kick your asses all around the clouds. That will be my most awesome day.

I see all these questions and answers bashing Jesus Christ, God, the Holy Bible relating to HOW everything was created, but a famous scientist known as Stephen Hawking asks the question WHY. Personally, my answer is to glorify God through His Son, Jesus Christ. What's to lose if I'm wrong?? Can anyone answer this?

...brethren? Or are you determined that we non-christians teach them the true meaning of Christianity?

It really is embarassing for so many so-called 'christians' to be out-scriptured by a poor, stupid, non-christian ant like myself.

I'm far from crazy. I just feel like everything is moving faster by a tic. Do any of you notice it? Some others I speak with in real life speak of it as well. Even my body feels "off", but I'm not ill, I just feel rushed. I don't know...maybe I'm just getting old, and turning into a geezer. I'm 26.

Im in a cafe eating and I start having this "discusson with myself" based on an interracial couple I saw sitting across from me.

so I asked myself " would you ever date someone of another race" and I said
" why not , sure, but I wouldnt want them to be the parent of my child".
" Well, what about the fact that interacial kids tend to be isolated from both groups" ( unless they look strickingly like the other). doesnt that make thier lives hard"

"well is it any harder than being black?"

"well it might be , so what,
well what challenges would they have to face"
"well I guess the most annoying thing would be that the 'what are you ?' question"
"And they have lighter skin, so its not completely being black"
"what are you trying to say"
"what im trying to say is:

(so my final question is)
"do you think being an interacial is harder or easier than being black?"

p.s- I am not crazy, Just a challenging conversation with myself.
=D
dont worry if you dont get it, just answer!

thnx!

How can people not care if they are going to heaven or hell? Some people will even joke around or should I say brag that they are going to hell. I pray every day for these people.

I am asking my sisters & brothers in Christ (and all other faiths) to try for one day 9-21-06 to practice peace. This is the International day of Peace. It is being celebrated throughout the world. Examples could be as simple as letting someone else go first,writting a positive ans. to a ques.,being nice to a not so nice person etc.

More info: www.peacedaynetwork.org

Imagine if we practice peace for a day,day by day we will live in peace for a lifetime.

Why are we , (Christians/Muslims) arguing about GOD and what HE want us to do as followers. Do you really know what it means to be Muslim? Well you are Muslim if you believe in GOd and that HE is the only one, right? And why do people say that Muslims don't believe in Jesus when his story is in the Koran also? And what about GOD and Jesus being one and the same? Help me, I don't understand what all the fighting is about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
