In my view guns don't kill. It is the people who do kill with guns. Likewise I see the Bible as an innocent Book that has its own story and its own purpose. However I also see in my view too many teachers and preachers with diverse opinions as to what it say and how it is to be understood. Is it these individuals who are really the ones who give the Bible a bad name?

Why do some non-Muslims at this site continue to claim The Koran encourages Muslims to kill non-believers?

Let us put this to rest. Can you share some verses that show that this is all nonsense?

Every Muslim I know is kind and filled with faith. It amazes me
that people who have not spent any time whatsoever learning about Islam or The Prophet find it acceptable to spread such ideas...

peace

My question is for muslim men (that look arab looking) from iran,iraq, eqypt, india, pakistan, etc, etc. & in appearance you sort of look like the muslim terrorists they show on TV.

Since 9/11 do you feel like people look at you in a concerned discriminatory fashion? I don't mean outright unlawful discrimination. I mean social discrimination. i.e., american women are less apt to date you, you have more difficulty making american friends, seem to have non-muslims be wary of you? Perhaps less potential in getting a job, being treated less worthy or suspicious by non-muslims in other places, from airports to doctor's office, etc. etc.

Do you feel the difference now after 9/11? Did u feel before? Now? Not before or after?

If you do, can you give some examples.

Also, have you ever considered changing your religion or facial features (plastic surgery for arab nose, making skin lighter) due to these affects? Are you ashamed to tell people you are muslim?

During the plague, the unscientific Christians thought that cats caused the plague. Actually, it was carried by rats. So when they killed cats, these ignorant clowns did the worst thing they could do. They also said their eyes looked like the Devil. And they tortured them for hours before killing.

Should a responsible and intelligent adult, teach young impressionable children to believe in a "devil"?

I mean think about it: A DEVIL. An invisible creature that nobody has ever seen. No photographs, no evidence, not one picture or 1 second of video footage.

Shouldn't we spend our time educating our children about real problems? Shouldn't we teach them that people are responsible for their own actions and that an invisible "devil" has nothing to do with the tragedy in the world?

Wouldn't it be better to TEACH our children to be kind and fair instead of scaring them into being kind and fair with an "invisible devil" that will torture them in a "hell" for millions and millions of years?

I was raised to "Never judge a book by it's cover". When it came to boys, I was never one for having a specific 'type.' If they were cute to me, that's all that mattered. I have dated a few guys and none of them are the same. One had blue hair, one was a musician, and one was a complete nerd. It's all about personality and how they treat me. Since I've discovered I am bi, I tend to like different girls as well. My question to you (And this includes anyone) is do you have a specific type? Guys, are there certain girls that get your attention and do you go for tall, dark, and handsome when it comes to other men? Girls, do you like macho boys or cute babyface boys, and when it comes to other ladies, do you prefer girly or butch? Just a question. I'm curious to see what kind of people everyone is attracted to. I just know, that I never thought I would ever like girls..but one day, it just happened. And she's the most gorgeous person in my eyes (Even if she doesn't know it.) Thanks!!

You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction.
You call me "Whiteboy," "Cracker," "Honkey," "Whitey," "Caveman" and that's OK.
But when I call you, ******, Towelhead, Sand-******, Camel Jockey,Beaner, ****, or Chink you call me a racist.
You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?
You have the United ***** College Fund.
You have Martin Luther King Day.
You have Black History Month.
You have Cesar Chavez Day.
You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi
You have the NAACP.
You have BET.
If we had WET(White Entertainment Television) we'd be racists.
If we had a White Pride Day you would call us racists.
If we had white history month, we'd be racists.
If we had an organization for only whites to "advance" our lives,we'd be racists.
If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships, you know we'd be racists.
There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US,yet if there were "White colleges" that would be a racist college.
In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.
You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.
You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug-dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist.
I am proud. But, you call me a racist.
Why is it that only whites can be racists?

Whenever I pray or hear really moving spiritual music, I get tingling and goosebumps all over my body that sometimes give me a quick shiver. Are these symptoms of the power of the Holy Spirit moving through my body? It feels really uncomfortable but I still love when it happens because it makes me feel like I'm really close to God and like my prayers are much more powerful and effective during those moments. It even makes the hair on my arms stand straight up!

I know in the OT it says it's forbidden to eat pork, but I don't understand why Christians still eat it. Don't they adhere to the OT as part of the Bible? Does it say something in the NT about not having to eat a particular way anymore?
