there is only ONE verse in the Qu'ran that directly talks about homosexuality.. ONE. Yet in the Bible, there are 6.. But for some reason, muslims are WAY more homophobic then christians!

why do you muslims insist on killing gays? you show me ONE VERSE in the qu'ran that says to kill gays.

and even if it is a sin, you should leave it up to your moon god to decide the punishment on the day of judgment!

islam is predjudice. and i'm tired of it. i went to an outlet mall like 2 months ago, and somebody must have let the mosques out because there were like dozens of muslims.. i was scared.. literally scared. and you could tell others were too. i couldn'y hold my boyfriends hand we were so scared.. so we split and acted like we didn't know each other. why in Gods name should we have to be scared of you guys? it's ridiculous.

I grew up Christian but I am thinking I should look into more beliefs. What are some religions and practices that I should give serious thought to?

I mean no disrespect, I understand that certain dietary practices are relevent for religous purposes. However I do not understand the logic behind being a vegan/vegetarian without such religous inlfuences. If it is too stop animal suffering, do not plants suffer as well? If it for politics or health reasons please elaborate as Im am very curious. Please remeber,I mean no insult. I just do not know any Vegitarians and would like to know your motives.

Isn't it sad that specially here in the R&S section I need a backup account (this account), to be sure that I won't lose my 360 page, because half of my questions get reported by religious zealots who simply disagree with me?

Isn't it sad that people simply report questions because they disagree with the opinion of the asker?

Isn't it sad that there are obviously some religious people who are so freakin' scared of different opinions that they need a 'report abuse' button to feel safe in their own safe little opinionless world ?

i occasionally smoke weed and i live a very normal life. i'm not strung out or making it an everyday routine to get high but once in a while, usually on the weekends when i don't have anything important to do, i smoke a blunt. i see these commercials and these say no to pot ads everywhere and i do agree that kids should not be exposed to marijuana. but as adults its just like when alcohol was being scrutinized. i feel it should be legalized but thats a whole different story. i'm just saying i smoke weed and i go through life just like any other person who doesn't. i have a 9 to 5, i pay my bills on time, i have an active social life...not to say everyone will but that's their problem. if you can't handle it you shouldn't be doin it. just like drinking, know your limit. so is it really as bad is they portray it to be? or is the dumb asses who can't handle it mess it up for the rest?

Regarding the Holy Eucharist:

"And this food is called among us Eukaristia [the Eucharist], of which no one is allowed to partake but the man who believes that the things which we teach are true, and who has been washed with the washing that is for the remission of sins, and unto regeneration, and who is so living as Christ has enjoined. For not as common bread and common drink do we receive these; but in like manner as Jesus Christ our Saviour, having been made flesh by the Word of God, had both flesh and blood for our salvation, so likewise have we been taught that the food which is blessed by the prayer of His word, and from which our blood and flesh by transmutation are nourished, is the flesh and blood of that Jesus who was made flesh."

More early Christian writings can be found here:

Do the writings of the early Christians have any value, or should we only look at what modern day Christians write???

I work at a retail store (all females). Anyway, we had a secret santa drawing and I drew my manager's name.

She is in her late 20s, engaged, and she just moved into a townhome. She is a really bubbly person. We made a storewide rule...NO Bath and Body Works or Victoria's Secret (because in past years, that is all people got! lol)...

So any ideas, people!!? I was thinking a nice throw blanket or something...

The price range is $15-20

THANKS!!!!
