On the new show Jerico and on the news it said, maybe one bomb in one city and the surrounding cities, what do they do to be safe from the fall out. No hiding under desks but how far does a bomb go? Say it is 150 miles away. The storms travel across the country. Your in Kansas, out on the parrie, now what do you do?

Remember, Isaac (at 40) married Rebekah (the mother of Jacob and Esau), when she was three.

"According to the Midrash, Rebeccah was 3 years old when Abraham sent his loyal servant Eliezer to his family's homeland in Aram-Naharayim to find a wife for Isaac."

How Many wives did Solomon have?, Avraham, Jacob, David, Moses or AH-MOSES, joseph ...etc (May ALLAH Exalt Their Mention)?.

Because Kim Jong Il is like all we hear about these past days, and I just wanted to know if the end of the world is near. Will his Nuclear bombs and missiles annihilate us?

I feel that God is calling me to be a minister, but I am so handsome that I'm afraid my looks will only stir up lust and desire in the female members. Their focus needs to be on God, not my hunkiness. What should I do?

Ok I can understand if someone did not meet the qualifications for heaven he should not receive a reward. I can understand that once someone is dead that free will no longer exists so there is no possibility for growth. I can understand that.

What I can’t understand is the concept that there are only two alternatives, eternal bliss and eternal suffering.

Lets say you take a child molester as evil as his actions are how can they justify eternal suffering, remember how long eternity is. If such a person dose not deserve for whatever reason reward then would it not make sense to only punish him to the degree of his crime and then have him cease to exist. I just don’t see how the concept of eternal suffering and a benevolent creator can go hand in hand.

Mystics teach us that God is encountered only in the inner silence, but we seem to be very good at filling silent moments with lots of other "stuff". Interested how you feel about this? I know some folks who cannot stand for things to be quiet; they even sleep with a tv at full volume. I know others, like me, who feel completely overwhelmed when there is just too much varying noise and activity. If I cannot encounter silence to recharge, my brain goes into overload.

This is why Muslims wear beards like Muhammad and wipe like Muhammad, because the Quran claims that all of Muhammad's conduct is the perfect standard of human behavior...FOR ALL TIME!

This MUST MEAN, that it is PERFECT ISLAMIC CONDUCT, for a 53 year old man to marry a 9 year old:

“the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he CONSUMMATED HIS MARRIAGE when she was NINE YEARS OLD” http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/sunnah/bukhari/062.sbt.html#007.062.064

This MUST MEAN that owning black slaves is PERFECT ISLAMIC CONDUCT:
"Allah's Apostle was on a journey and he had a BLACK SLAVE called Anjasha, and he was driving the camels" http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/sunnah/bukhari/073.sbt.html#008.073.182

Of course it also means murder and warlording are perfect conduct:

“It is not for any PROPHET TO HAVE CAPTIVES UNTIL HE HATH MADE SLAUGHTER IN THE LAND.http://cwis.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/008.qmt.html

What horror did Muhammad not committ? Seriously...anyone...

OK, so my Croatian boss called me a lazy gypsy when he was angry. I went to ask a Scottish lady and she said it was a "bohunk (European) thing" and not to pay attention to him. Was he insulting me? What does this guy have against gypsies? Please explain I think this may be the start of problems. (later he stomped his foot and yelled....kind of like Mussolini).

Let me just say that I am not and never was a religious person, and I consider myself agnostic.

When I was 15 (10 years ago), my 3 friends and I got approached by someone we didn't know in a parking lot. The person invited us to a revival down the street and we went to see what the hype was about.

So we get there and the preacher guy puts us up at the front of the stage and puts his hand on each of our forehead's and says the following:

Friend 1: You will be very involved in your chuch (10 years later she is the lead singer at her church)
Friend 2: Your mother is sick, she will beat it (she had cancer and survived)
Friend 3: Your brother will get a job soon (he got one that next week)
Me: He just smiles and says nothing!!!

What the heck? Where was my reading? And how do you explain how he knew these things when I didn't even know them about my own friends? We didn't know anyone there, it was so akward!

I swear this happened, it was the craziest thing I have witnessed

Since you're bi-sexual I would assume that your sex drive is doubled, correct? At least, that's what I hope is the more exciting truth. Do you seek other women online via chat rooms? Do you view explicit photos, etc? In other words, is your sex drive on par or more than your average male?
