Ok so it's my birthday. I'm tired and sick. My Aunt is in Intensive Care and my Sister is waiting on results to see if she has cancer. I was starting to deal with this and wanted to enjoy by birthday.

Then my girlfriend and I had a fight last night. It was in depth conversion that turned bad. It wasn't something I really needed at the moment and now I'm worried about that. Lesbian love hurts that little bit more I think.

I am in no mood for birthday celebrations. Please help me get out of this mood. Make me smile, give me advice - anything. I'd like to go drinking but I can't during work hours.

The word "enemy" is one of the most commonly used words in the Islamic culture. Islam defines itself in reference to the "enemies" prescribed by the Quran.

If Muslims didnt have the "kafir / infidel / unbeliever" as an enemy...what would Islam be? After all, most people believe in God right?

See for yourself how the Quran obsesses over "enemies". http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/reference/searchquran.html

PS - Im an Agnostic so any reply like "the bible also has X and Y" is meaningless to me. I dont understand how people could be so stupid to think that offering another potentially "bad thing" from another religious text can, in anyway, suffice as an answer to a question that deals with Islam.

In other words, I dont give a F**K if you hate Christanity or any other religion...I do however recommend a lobotomy to any idiot stupid enough to babble on, to an agnostic, about their hatred for Christianty, when I...an AGNOSTIC...ask questions about I-S-L-A-M.

No asking for more wishes. You have one and that's it. You can be as greedy or as giving or noble or selfish as you want. But all you have is one wish. So what's it going to be? Now think of this before you make your wish, be careful of what you wish for. You might get it only to find out that you actually didn't want it or need it in the first place. So think about your answer before you give it.

We're not doing anything wrong. I mean, of course, EVERYBODY sins, but at least we try not to. We're just trying to help other non believers. Whats wrong with that?

We can't discriminate against anyone because of race, creed, sex, or religion, but it's OK to discriminate and make fun of someone for being fat? When you put someone down for being fat, are you really concerned for their health and welfare, or are you simply concerned with putting someone down?

"Dwindling in Unbelief" counted the number of people that were killed by God in the Bible. They came up with 2,270,365, which, of course, greatly underestimates God's total death toll, since it only includes those killings for which specific numbers are given. No attempt was made to include the victims of Noah's flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, or the many plagues, famines, fiery serpents, etc., with which the good book is filled. Still, 2 million is a respectable number even for world class killers.

But how does this compare with Satan? How many did he kill in the Bible?

Well, they could only find ten, and even these he shares with God, since God allowed him to do it as a part of a bet. I'm talking about the seven sons and three daughters of Job.

killings:
God - 2,270,365+
Satan - 10


No contest.


Look at the site - most of the victims were soliders of tribal war, many were babies, one was just picking up sticks on Sunday.

Yet again, another one of my boyfriends have left me for a white girl. This is the third time it's happened. I know lots of brothas say it's because we're know-it-alls or we're too money-hungry....but I don't think that's it....I'm just independent....I heard some brothas talking the other day and they were saying Asian girls are better than sistas because they have smaller feet....what's wrong with us, sistas?? Why are our brothas leaving us?

I kind of got tricked into going for Halloween as Daisy Duke. I am doing so and some girls are going to prepare me for the party. The problem is there is no way I'm going shopping for this stuff. Time is running out, but I could really use some links for an appropriate Daisy Duke costume online. I have blonde hair so it'll be the recent version.

Thank you for all the answers I received earlier. Is working an adult chat line talking to straight guys in a sexual matter pornography. There's no talk about incest, beastility, children or anything that's illegal. There's no selling sex or exchanging information. An agency handle the calls from men across the country. It's for guys that don't want to have physical sex. If someone know of any other home telephone work I can do, please let me know. I tried WAHA, workinsol and some others but, I haven't heard from them. I need to work from home but, I don't want to sin. Please don't beat up on me or call me crazy. I need sensible, constructive feedback. Thanks!
