I would like to know what your opinion is about MAINSTREAM islam, not radical islam. Do you think the media portrays radical Islam as "mainstream?"

Britain in my own small Islamic state and so why should i give a toss about what the rest of the country thinks? Don't people realize that Britain will soon be run by Muslims and we will all have to wear a veil or be punished?

hell. Is that true? I thought that was the whole reason for them wanting to knock on people's doors. So then why knock on doors? Any other religions don't believe in hell too? Didn't Jesus preach about salvation? Wasn't that the whole point?

Galatians 1:8
But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!

My grandma (my mother's mother) died 10 years ago. The other night, my family was at my parent's house for my niece's birthday. While opening gifts, my niece couldn't get a box open and my mom told my sister-in-law to go in the kitchen and get the scissors. My sister-in-law walked back from the kitchen holding scissors that were my grandma's good sewing scissors. My mom said, "Where did you get those?" My sister-in-law said, "They were in the drawer with the scissors. Why?" I think my mom almost passed out while me and my siblings sat there in shock because we all knew they were grandma's good sewing scissors. My grandma was a seamstress for many years and my mom took most of her sewing things when she died. The scissors were packed away in the attic and not easily accecible. How would the scissors get into the drawer in the kitchen? Was my grandma with us that night?

I do believe that we have a creator...someone had to put us and the universe here, but I don't think that there is any one religion that represents the "true" religion.

I've always loved the question of, "If you had three wishes, what would they be?"

My question is, if you had two wishes, what would they be? Two wishes because everyone wishes for wealth - so one wish is all ready granted. Essentially, I'm asking, what would be the other two? (If you don't want wealth, then you can wish for something else).

Now, there are LIMITS to these wishes:

1) No wishing for more wishes.

2) You cannot bring anyone back from the dead.

3) You cannot force someone to fall in love with you.
and finally...
4) You cannot wish for the death of anyone.

...now, with those limits set, let me just say that if you find a creative way of wishing for those things, other than just outright wishing for it, it may come true.

Finally, this genie is a good genie, so while it is always a good idea to be careful in the wording of your wish and what you wish for, this genie isn't going to turn your wishes against you.

Enjoy!

if you never let Jesus in your heart just say no-dont say mean stuff to me-if you never experienced Jesus his joy love and power and changed life-then you dont got a clue-it would be like you saying how it feels to be a fish or a bird. so just say no ok?

but for millions of x adulterers, x alchoholics x drug addicts weed from the fall of man just like any other poison for the brain or body now higher on Jesus x fornicators (have sex before marriage) now happy and satisfied in Jesus xwhatever-they will tell you how wonderfull it is to be saved and have Jesus as their best friend

A song goes "What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear, oh what JOY we often forfiet take it to the lord in prayer."
another "And He talks with me, and tells me i am His own, and the joy we share as we tarry there, none other has ever known."
do people make up songs by the millions of someone that is dead 2000 years later??? why would they if he wasnt their true friend!

In this question someone tries to justify terrorism by saying that their people have been hurt in the past. What has gone wrong with the world, that we believe that by hurting others we can end our own pain? Returning hatred just keeps hatred alive, why can't they just be the better person and end it? I do not understand this at all...

Ok..so I spent the weekend at a Scottish festival learning all about my heritage. Upon arriving home, I started looking up info about Scotland and the history etc...I found a topic of Celtic Heritage, and other "celtic" things. Can someone explain to me what exactly "celtic" means, I always thought it was related to Pagans? Also, has anyone ever heard of Celtic Christianity? Sounds like an oxy-moron. Thanks for all your help!

Marijuana has strong anti-inflammatory effects. "This is why I believe that people who used marijuana a few decades ago are much less likely to develop any disease, such as Alzheimer's, that relies upon the slow development of brain inflammation," Wenk told Reuters Health.

"We hypothesized that there would be a positive association between marijuana use and lung cancer, and that the association would be more positive with heavier use," he said. "What we found instead was no association at all, and even a suggestion of some protective effect."

and the obvious glaucoma, etc.

What religion do you practice, and why do you practice that religion? Also, for those who have a religion, why do you falsly accuse other religions of worshipping a wicked "evil?" Just because they don't practice the same religion as you? I've seen many people, especially in christianity, Call others that practice christianity satists, or saying they are going to hell because they don't practice this religion. In the bible it states that, satan will turn brother against brother. So why do people do it?

The One True God creates all worlds and all creatures in His divine unity, why do we maintain barriers of division, separation and destruction?
Please reread the Holy Books and rethink about the boundless love of the One True God and break down immediately all outdated barriers, in order that the divine light of the Sun of Truth can shine on all regions.
The Great Wall of China previously prevented enemies from outside, now that Wall can not be considered as invincible.
It is good that the pope is exchanging views with the Dalai Lama and other Muslim leaders; yes, please make stronger and more urgent efforts to create love and unity among all men based on the boundless love of God, in order that all eyes will realize that we are true believers and God is the One True God.
Please pray, rethink and act for love and peace, and not at all for enmity and war. Please, please, please act for the pleasure of the ever loving, ever living, ever forgiving God. I am joining you in prayers now.
