should every election be 100% for the same guy?

Is that what God wants? For everyone to line up and look the same and talk the same,

don't we have different abilities, different names, different avatars,

different . . . . religions?

I was just thinking, as I listened to Dr. Dre's class "B****** ain't S*** but ho's and tricks" that Dre and his buddies like Snoop Dogg would be right at home in the Taliban. Maybe there's some way we can ship all the black muslims over to Afghanistan so they can be among their people.

Do you worship god for yourself, or do you worship god for god? In other words, do you go to church to worship god for gods sake, or do you do it to feel better about yourself? Basically what I am trying to figure out is whether belief in a diety is a selfish endeavor or if it is benevolent. i.e. Trying to make god feel better about himself by bowing down to him.

I did hear on BBC Radio 4's today programme that there has come to light a transcript of a speech given to the Sanhedrin by a disciple of Jesus a few years after the crucifiction. It details Jesus's life and is a tour de force of rhetoric, it is said that this speech is what started Christianity, it was so powerful. What has happened to this transcript? Have the Vatican got their hands on it and buried it until the end of things? Am I the only one who remembers this?

some say Jesus is God is the form of human, some say he's just the son of God, some say he's a part of the trinity which is God and his own son at the same time.

they don't know who's right and who's wrong YET they condemn other religions and Atheists to hell. and how come not so many christians use their own brains instead of believing in what the monkey says on stage every sunday?

not that i take it seriously but why hasn't anyone ever heard of a person being possessed by the holy spirit or god, being uncontrollably good and charitable and miraculous? Surely it's only fair that there's "intervention" from both sides.

"Christianity borrowed its central myths and ceremonies from other ancient religions. The ancient world was rife with tales of virgin births, miracle-working saviors, tripartite gods, gods taking human form, gods arising from the dead, heavens and hells, and days of judgment. In addition to the myths, many of the ceremonies of ancient religions also match those of that syncretic latecomer, Christianity. To cite but one example (there are many others), consider Mithraism, a Persian religion predating Christianity by centuries. Mithra, the savior of the Mithraic religion and a god who took human form, was born of a virgin; he belonged to the holy trinity and was a link between heaven and Earth; and he ascended into heaven after his death. His followers believed in heaven and hell, looked forward to a day of judgment, and referred to Mithra as "the Light of the World." They also practiced baptism (for purification purposes) and ritual cannibalism—the eating of bread and the drinking of wi

Deliberate masturbation during the month of Ramadan renders a fast invalid, Iranian Supreme Leader Sayyid Ali Khameini has ruled.
Khameini, who is Iran's most powerful political and religious figure, was asked on his website : "If somebody masturbates during the
month of Ramadan but without any discharge, is his fasting invalidated?"
"If he do not intend masturbation and discharging semen and nothing is discharged, his fasting is correct even though he has done a ḥarām (forbidden) act. But, if he intends masturbation or he knows that he usually discharges semen by this process and semen really comes out, it is a ḥaram intentional breaking fasting," the Iranian leader said, posting the reply on his website.
Another reader asked: "Once in the holy month of Ramadan, I forgot to brush my teeth, and some tiny bits of food remained in my mouth. I swallowed the bits unintentionally. Do I have to perform the qaḍa (repent) for that day's fast?"
"If you did not know that some bits of food remained between the teeth, or you did not know that they would reach the throat, and they were swallowed unknowingly and unintentionally, then you are not liable to make (repent) of the fast," said Khameini.
'Drink water while standing'
On the website, Khameini also tells Iranians that only jockeys are permitted to gamble on horse races.
He is also asked whether it is permissible for a man to marry a woman only in order to be able to live in his wife's country. "Can a man conclude a marriage contract for a year with a European girl after getting her agreement with the purpose of going to her country?" A reader asked.
"There is no problem in that if they are serious in contracting marriage and it is done with her father's permission if she is virgin," Khameini ruled.
The Iranian leader also told readers they were allowed to "to drink water while standing" at nights. It was "not permissible" to take part in meetings attended by both men and women, he told another reader.
"In Islam's view, rulers and governments exist just to serve people and carry out works in the interest of the public and this is what God demands us, as authorities, to fulfill," Khamenei was quoted Tuesday telling Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Doesn´t this make you doubt the fairness and credibility of your on faith in salvation that may not be there for you? Besides what is salvation? It is not a secret that heaven and hell exist only on earth.

- we were ordered not to cheat , lie, or talking about people badly

-the rich people gives the poor people a share of their money called Zakaa,and they MUSt pay it to be muslims......and they are fought if they persist not to pay it.this share is only 2.5% of the uninvested money..........if all your oney is invested,,,, u do pat zakaa for it.

- rich people can pay excesses if they want to earn more hasanat.

- we have two feasts......in one, every muslim man must pay 5 cups of rice,or other such crops to other mulim...... in the other feast, people kill sheaps and give 1/3 of its meat to poor people, 1/3 for their relatives, and 1/3 for them......the three parts must be the same.

- all muslims men have to pray in mosques the rich beside the poor.....5 times per day........

- if two muslims are in problem with each other, the have too be ok with each other after 3 days.

What makes ANY of you think you have ANY CLUE as to the real deal? Listen, I've been content to just hide out and watch for millenia, but all this bickering back & forth on Yahoo! Answers is really starting to PISS ME OFF!!!

Maybe I want you to question. Maybe I want you to have faith. Maybe I want you to disbelieve. Maybe it's all of the above. Maybe none of the above. Maybe reality is just a sick joke, or a bet I made with one of my friends. Maybe you'll find out when you die, maybe you won't. Maybe the instant you die, I'll change all the rules. Maybe it's all a big test, or maybe it's a big waste of time. Maybe you're all my greatest creation, or maybe I am yours. Maybe I screwed up and this whole creation thing has gotten out of hand, or maybe this is all a clever ruse & I don't exist.

Anyway, I just want you all to shut up already! You can listen or not. I really don't care.

(PS - From Yahoo Staff... this is the real God... we just let him use Printninja's account)

it says:
11 The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide Joshua son of Nun did not leave the tent.

now you all claimed that moses did not see gods face. that seeing his face would result in death. however it says here that as a man would speak to his friend. so how many of you dont let your friend see your face while your talking with them? and in the event they see your face its punishable by death? you guys are denying what is clearly written in the bible why?
