Why do they also hate on American muslims, why do they always forget that we may be muslim but we are still American and we are as pisst as they are for whats happening to our people, and why don't they understand that we are different and do not support or agree with all the terorists in the east?

A new game called Left Behind: Eternal Forces will be out just in time for Christmas so your kids to will learn that they too can kill the unsaved

As the game’s Website says, “their choice is to either join the AntiChrist—which is an imposturous one world government seeking peace for all of mankind, or they may join the Tribulation Force—which seeks to expose the truth and defend themselves against the forces of the AntiChrist.” Gamers can themselves join the forces of darkness. When I played the evil side while visiting Left Behind Games’ bland, office-park headquarters outside of San Diego recently, I started with two soldiers in my Satanic army, one of them a Muslim named Amir Mohammed Salem.

We all have truths about ourselves and our lives in general that we must face yet we never confront them. We blame our childhood, or someone making fun of us or some other excuse for the way we are.

And if we confronted these truths, then would we really have anything to fear?

Last year, a young woman my age was killed in a horrible accident in my neighbourhood. A few days later, I had a dream in which I looked in the mirror but I was her, and I was staring straight into her (my) blue eyes!! (I don't have blue eyes) I never dream of looking in the mirror. It was really freaky. I'm not sure if I believe in spirits or ghosts, but to this day I think about that dream and wonder if there was something more to it. Another idea is that I saw some of myself in her, ie: she went to the same University, was the same age, had a little brother too etc.. and so this is why I dreamed of her. Anyway, it stuck with me. Anyone dream that they were someone else (esp. who died) before?

can you just flush that bolognie out of your mind for a second and try to answer a reasonable question in a reasonable way without any eternal heaven, hell, non-logical 72 virgins floating in sky, getting punished for your past anscestor eating an apple, guy throwing lightning bolts stuff. Ok...

Do you think it is possible that a person may somehow become conscious again in some form, that may even be completely unrelated to the one you are in now? I mean doesn't there have to be some kind of 3rd party thing like a soul to dictate what makes 1 'robot' a being with perspective, and not just any other 'robot'. And is it so unreasonable that this 3rd party thing, I am just going to define as 'perspective', could somehow gain consiousness in some other 'body' that coudl relize or be a part of it's surroundings. It happened once...here you are....why couldn't it happen again? (I am not just talking about reincarantion on earth or as an organism but anything!)

I mean really. For most people the choice happens when you decide to have sex with some one. When you get in a car you know the risks. When you get on an airplane you know the risks. When you have sex you know the risks... It would seem that, if you don't know the risks or aren't willing to accept the risks then you shouldn't do it.

I made an anti-christian statement and everyone says things like "I cant wait until god judges you" or "Ill laugh when your burning in hell" or "have a nice trip to hell" you christians are sick in the head. who would say those type of things. Who would be glad about someone having their face, body and eyeballs torched off for eternity? You guys are a bunch of sadistic whack jobs. Why dont you just light a non christian on fire now?

I hear from many people, mostly from gay guys, that their sexuality does not play a huge role in their lives. I tend to disagree with this and I am also a gay guy.

I believe that most gay men that I know revolve around their gayness. They illustrate this by gathering at gay bars every weekend and attending gay functions. I don't think anything is wrong with these activities, but if these men were straight their social lives would be totally different. And it goes beyond just the weekend gay hot spots. Gay men also tend to be more creative and have similar traits. Their apartments are all decked out and their sense of style is excellent. I know this is NOT true for all gay men, but a vast majority of them that I know live, speak and eat gay. And, again, this is not a bad thing.

I think that we gay guys should just come out and say..yes we are gay and yes my sexuality is a big part of my life. It's just who we are.

Jesus is recorded as saying in Matthew 16:28: "...there shall be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom." In Matthew 24:34, Jesus is recorded as saying: "...This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." Since the life expectancy in those days was little over 30 years, Jesus appears to have predicted his second coming would be sometime during the 1st century. So... what happened?

I want to hear other people's point of view.
Why are people ( some ) poor when we have the land of opportunities?
AMERICAN SOCIAL CLASSES:
Low class- under 16000 dollars a year
Working class- 16000 to 30000 a year
Lower Middle Class- 30000 to 75000 a year
Upper Middle Class- 75000 to 500000 a year
Upper Class- 500000 or more
I got those from my sociology book last year. So those are the American social classes.
So... how and why are people poor?
Here are some ideas of mine:
1. Not working hard enough
2. Even being BORN poor
3. Burn outs
4. The rich get richer and have connections.It is true that a rich kids has a better chance of succeeding than a poor kid even if the poor kid is a straight A student and is college bound
5. Some people do not have enough for college
6. The rich get richer and the poor poorer

What are some of your ideas? And I am talking about LOW CLASS people? People in projects. And most of us are not that!

to different people then does that mean that god means different things to different people? and if so couldn't that mean that all of us in our search for enlightenment could be correct? that each persons concept of heaven and god are unique and true?
and if so there could be more than one path to the same place?

The body we are in , when we die becomes the earth. The soul or spirit that used to inhabit the now dead body lives on. So who are we? this human body or that spirit that never dies?
