The Koran claims it is clear, but I do not think it is clear. I honestly do not know how certain cases of inheritance should be handled according to the Quran. I am unaware of a proof that Islam is true. I do not have the courage of my convictions to amputate a thief, or to commit an 8:12 ( When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them) .Striving to be honest, I have doubts. But it is wrong to have doubts. If I follow Islam but do not believe in it then I am a hypocrite. What should I do? The choices are believer, doubter, unbeliever or hypocrite

Kicked out roommate out of my house due to catching her stealing. She left right away but left her stuff. After 3 attempts to deliver the items to her she is never available. It has now been 3 months and no attempt has been made to pick up the items. Can I throw away or sell the items with no legal prblems?

I can see both sides to different issues so clearly, that it makes it hard to figure out what to decide. I don't feel like I have to have my opinions in stone, but I would like to be able to say "This is what I think" in conversations. It is not like that on every issue, but there are quite a few that I ride the fence on. Neither do I think I have to have an opinion on absolutely everything or know everything--I think it is okay to say "I don't know" sometimes. But right now I feel like I have an opinon on absolutely nothing.

When you see two sides very clearly, how do you make a choice about what you believe?

Olden times, we used to get up and bow down to show our respect to elders, teachers and similar respectable people. Of late they are not to be seen. Even in buses, trains etc people used to get up and give seats to elders when they are standing. Now they are either ignored or are treated without any respect. Has our etiquettes changed?

I find these people to be extremely offensive in their manner while supposedly spreading the word of God. Do people really believe that this church has a message worth listening to?

i supreme being is always a dictator. could this idea of allah been 1 supreme being the reason why islam has never tasted democracy? i like the christian dogma of jesus been god, because the life he lived based on kindness is more touching than the islamic dogma of almighty allah.
comments?

And a version at that! The KJ-Version was a wonderful adaptation and translation that suited the reigning king at that time, but it was done under fear of loosing one's head!
Much new research shows that there were in it ;
more than 1500 errors!
Yet people stubbornly continue to use it thinking it is perfect.
Absolutely no disrespect intended. People at the time did the best they could, but the language is archaic and, were Jesus to spend some time talking with you, he wouldn't use it.
He would talk with you in your native language!
Yes some things loose their meaning when languages change, that is why God confused the language at the tower of bable, or at least one of them.
Just some thoughts that I have had running in my mind, as I said, no disrespect intended. I have several versions myself. Won't you consider haveing a great day?

They can't see that they are suffering because they are still living in unsecular and undemocratic countries..

Okay, I don't personally. I do however, believe that it has been made into a racist symbol by a bunch of bigoted assholes. So, I guess what I am asking is what do people really think when they see the Confederate Flag? A symbol of pride for our country (southern), or a symbol of hate and intolerance?

If you had the power to choose a religion or religions to be the truth or in other words the laws of our world would be governed by majority of the principles written down in those religions.

Than which religions would you choose.
I like the concept of reincarnation(though it has not been proved by science yet).

Im 25 but I used to trick or treat all the time, every year as a kid. I have 2 kids..5 and 1. my 5 yr old has been 2 times and thats it, her daddy doesnt like halloween and does not celebrate it nor want our kids to. She has been asking about trick or treating and buying punpkins etc. He doesnt like the meaning of halloween and doesnt think any of his kids should celebrate it. I feel bad for my kids not being able to go trick or treating and dressing up. Anyone elses kids not going trick or treating or celebrating halloween? Are there any other things that we can do instead of going out for candy? thanks!

Fact: The Stars and Bars never flew on any slave ships, but Old Glory did.
Fact: Slavery was practiced in the Union and the Confederate States
Fact: Slavery ended over a century and a half ago. White americans should not have to apologize anymore for what our ancestors did.
