I went to one today for an aunt who did not believe in God and it was briefer than brief. Seven people, not a mention of God, all up, about 20 minutes. Strange but also good because it followed her wishes to the letter. Any of you had good or bad experiences of funerals?

In Islam, it is believed that on the Day of Reckoning, God will judge the dead, sending the righteous to Heaven and unrepentant evildoers to Hell.

Some Ahadith include a Muhammad-like holy warrior, the Mahdi (whom Shi'a equate with the long-lived Twelfth Imam), who will be accompanied by the Prophet Jesus to fight the Antichrist, various Beasts, the Gog and Magog tradition, angelic heralds with trumpets, civil war, natural disasters and signs in the heavens, and a clash between Jesus and the Antichrist.

Mahdi will fight Antichrist; but it will be Jesus who kills him at the gate of Ludd. Then Gog and Magog will appear from all directions, drink all water. Jesus and the believers will go to the mountains; Jesus will pray to God Almighty and He will send worm like creatures that will attack Gog and Magog on their necks. Then huge birds with camel like necks will carry their corpses away. The earth will be washed with rains. There will be peace on earth for 40 years. Jesus will marry and

Matthew 25:6-13 Right in the middle of the night there arose a *cry,* 'HERE IS THE BRIDEGROOM, be on your way out to meet him.'

Then all those virgins rose and put their lamps in order.

The foolish said to the discreet, 'Give us some of your oil,' because our lamps are about to go OUT.

The discreet answered with the words, 'Perhaps there may not be quite enough for us and for your. Be on your way, instead and to those who sell it and buy it for yourselves.'

While they were going off to buy, the bridegroom arrived, and the virgins that were ready went in to the marraige feast, and the door was shut.

Afterwards the rest of the virgins also came saying, 'Sir open to us!'

In answer he said, 'I tell you the truth, I do not know you.'

"Keep on the watch, because you know neither the day nor the hour."

NOW YOU DO KNOW THE HOUR.

Mark 4:22 For there is *nothing* hidden except for the purpose of being exposed, nothing carefully concealed but for the purpose of COMING INTO THE OPEN.

I know this goes agianst alot of Pagan sensibilities, but I'm only asking a question. What if Pagans began to evangelize the way that Christians and Muslims do, going door to door, passing out leaflets, holding vigils and having public scerimoneis. What is your take on this?

say, as the Holy Spirit, to Moses, Abraham, Jesus, Muhammad, or other prophets?
These claims again are uncorroborated by objective eyewitnesses. They are rather promulgated by propagandists of the various faith traditions that have been inflicted on societies and enforced by entrenched ecclesiastical authorities and political powers. They are supported by customs and traditions buried for millennia by the sands of time and institutional inertia. They are simply assumed to be true without question.
The ancient documents alleging God's existence are preliterate, pre-philosophical, and, in any case, unconfirmed by scientific inquiry. They are often eloquent literary expressions of existential moral poetry, but they are unverified by archeological evidence or careful historical investigation. Moreover, they contradict each other in their claims for authenticity and legitimacy.
The ancient faith that God is a person has not been corroborated by the historical record. Such conceptions of God are anthropomorphic and anthropocentric, reading into the universe human

I know that Isreal's land once belonged to muslims and that the land was taken from us (right?) but shouldn't Jewish people have one country to themselves? Is there another Jewish country? I mean why are muslims exploding over Isreal, we already have many Muslim countries in the world, and the Jews needed a place to call their own especially after the Hullocost, aren't we being selfish. Shouldn't true muslims be pro Isreal? Aren't muslim countries fighting Isreal just because they want to root for their own people, i mean if a bunch of people took that land but they were muslim, i don't think it would have been this big a deal

Like in that movie The Sixth Sense when a ghost was around you could see the kids breath, and in those shows on TV where they investigate a haunted house with scientific equipment a sudden drop in temperature means there's a ghost, right?
