As a worshipful soul, why would one's own faith not be enough sustenance? Why must one's beliefs enter the secular realm?

As a penitent soul, why can one not be at peace with oneself and with the World? Why must there be proselytizing and promulgation of hatred of others?

Almost every Muslim I have talked with, on the subject of translation, has made the absurd claim that "you cant rely on any scholars translation"...and NOT JUST ARABS THAT MAKE THIS CLAIM!

You see, according to most Muslims, unless your an arabic scholar, you essentially cant truely understand Allah's commands or words...you can only hope that the Muslims telling you what it might mean are correctly translating AND interpreting it.

How amazingly privileged Arabs are!!! This obscure desert language is the ONLY language God chose to be UNDERSTOOD IN and they ONLY PEOPLE GOD CHOSE TO BE UNDERSTOOD BY!

God is God, so thus, if he wanted to, he could have made it so that the Quran was released in all languages and equally valid....but I suppose he just wasnt as powerful as Simon and Shuster.

I had one Muslim in here explain to me that "Allah did it this way cause Arabs are to stubborn and wouldnt have learned the Quran in another language!!". I KID YOU NOT!

The Sunday River Ski Resort in Bethel, Maine holds the North American Wife Carrying Championships. A man, carrying his wife on his back, has to complete a 278 yd course, which includes a hairpin turn, a log hurdle and a water trench.

The winner (this years time for the course was 1 minute 6.5 seconds) takes home beer calculated to the wifes weight and a cash prize.

Would you enter a competition like this or would you consider it immoral?

There is a Cardinal Law who was responsible for shifting priests from one parish to another after he found they had molested children. At these other parishes they molested other children and Cardinal Law simply moved them to another parish. A friend of mine told me that Pope Benedict XVI, the current Pope, is the man who was giving Cardinal Law his orders. Is this right?

Once I was in a situation where my parents and we saw smoke. We were safe. How was it that my mom and dad asked if I wanted to pull the alarm as opposed to them? I was 12 and we were all close to the alarm. How was it that my father helped me with pulling the handle? Was it that he wanted to make sure that it would work? How was it that they asked me if I wanted to pull it as opposed to my brother who also wanted to? Was it because they trusted me more? Was it normal for my mom to watch me pull it?

Any ideas? This is a real story and I wanted your opinions? If your son asked if he could pull the alarm and you were safe what would you say/do to help? Would you be like my father helping me?

Wether you believe it or not, most of the Religions is purely business. It became an enterprise for it deals money for investment, for financing their personal interests and ambitions. You'll be rich if your are in the position/ staff on it, and will be poorer if you are an ordinary follower/ member of such Religion for you're always gave money for God/ Salvation as what the Church leaders said, but definitely its just a payments of their expenses/ bills comsumed in their church buildings.

For some reason, Muslims object to the word "pedophile" with reference to Muhammad, even though its just a word to describe an adult who has sexual relations with children irrespective of whether the charade or marriage is a part of it. So, just know that by the word "pedophile", we include adults who go through extra ceremony when desiring a sexual relationship with a child. Heres the Islamic scripture (haddith):

“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

So...are westerners who assert that the act of pedophilia is a disqualifier of a legitimate claim of prophethood or is it not unreasonable to believe that God could appoint a pedophile to be the everlasting and perfect example of human conduct? A model for all time?

Everyone is guilty, Atheist, Christians, Muslims, Mormons, pagans, wiccans, etc... They ask a question and you can almost pick the best answer for them. The best answer always follows the belief of the asker. I once saw a Christian ask a question with the phrase "Atheists only please." Another Christian slipped an answer in and the asker picked that one as the best answer. Shoulda reported the bastard for even answering. LOL. But the Atheist and Muslims do it too. Hell, I've done it. What's up with us people? Are we so set in our ways that honest dialog no longer interest us? I'm changing my ways. I'm still going to insult people, but I'm going to be more thoughtful about it in the future. How about it?
