Why do people make assumptions about the person asking questions?

How does this make sense? I'm a mere human and I can think of far better ways we could be made. Eyes in the back of our heads, multiple arms to do more work, greater muscle density, tougher skin, much greater senses,... the list goes on.

So why is this God's image? Does God have a less than perfect form also? And for that matter, why does God only have one image, can't he be anything he wants? Do you think that he has an "original" form in some way (even though this implies that God has a beginning)?

Or is this yet another "truth" given in the bible that you really can't explain and have to just use blind faith?

I confess to be ignorant of their practices but In the media portrayal and their own portrayal they seem to view ALL woman as unclean and treat them as chattel.Do they really believe that Allah made women so that the men could rule over them with hate and disrespect?

I certainly agree that there is a lot of misunderstanding and prejudice against their religion. but their followers over react without any proportion and it seems more like these leaders are happy to fan the flames rather than engage in peaceful productive dialogue. i know from personal experience that the arab muslims have very little tolerance or respect for other religions, especially eastern ones.they take up cudgels against the west whenever they perceive any seeming injustice without proper perspective. have they lost any sense of correctness?

He knows everything that ever will happen. Why bother to create people if most of them go to hell, according to religious fanatics?

Ive been looking for a christianity that goes with MY way of life. Something with quite a bit of hate for others, not too much in the way of practising what I preach, a modern air conditioned church with a projector screen, in a nice area of course, ample parking, and a fast track to heavan.
Im not a pervert or a peodo so catholasism is a bit too extreme. Im quite self obsessed so I was thinking one of the splinter factions... maybe latted d-day saints?
Im not into water so baptism is marginal... any thoughts or maybe you can recommend one?

Whether good or bad everyone in the world is human so what are a few things as humans that makes us all alike, other than body parts, and can any one of them or combination be used to bring the world together in peace?

I was in my house and it was warm and cozy. I was watching through the window at the cats and kittens. I noticed one poor stray cat gave birth to 4 kittens. One was doing terrible so I went outside and took it in. I tried to clean it and love it but this little kitten was smelly and still hat bugs. I thought to myself this kitten most go back outside until it is clean and has no bugs it can not come back in my house. I was troubled because these bugs and bad smells seemed to be a large part of the world outside. If I let any in I would get bugs and infected as well. I was left sad thinking of how to rid the world of these bad smells,bugs etc so everyone could come in my house. I only had ideas that were troubling.

feel free to solve the problem as well.

I would be open to any books, audio or video about Buddhism. I am especially interested in hearing how Americans practice it, with so little access to Buddhist centers of learning. (I live in the Bible Belt.... Nearest Buddhist center is 3 hours away...)

I realize you don't need the centers to practice, but some sense of sangha would be nice......

• Drunk drivers are predominantly white males
http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:qYH3fWP0TDsJ:www.sentencingproject.org/pdfs/9040smy.pdf+drunk+drivers+white+males&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=4

• Approximately 10,000 people die and 250,000 people are injured each year as a result of individuals who continually drink and drive. In addition, chronic drinking drivers cost the economy $1.5 billion per year in enforcement and adjudication and $45 billion per year in property damage. The majority of chronic drinking drivers are white males between the ages of 21 and 34.

I really don't think this has anything to with population, the fact that there are more white males in the U.S. doesn't mean anything. The reason I say that is because even though there are more white males in the U.S. there are black males jail, population has nothing to do with this.
