I was in Amsterdam this weekend and I heard a bunch of guys yelling "room service!" What does that mean? Is that code for them trying to order a prostitute or something if they see a girl walking down the street that they are into?

A good friend of mine just lost her first baby. She wasnt very far along however she has been wanting to have a baby forever and is obviously crushed at her loss. What are some good encouraging bible verses that may help remind her that as bad as things are now they will get better?

Something I have been trying to get across the R+S section is religious tolerance. Although I think because I'm seeing this from an atheistic perspective makes it harder for others to understand.

See myself, I have no problem with what others believe, because I feel in the end we will all end up in the same place, whereas Christians do not see it the same way, and I'd go to hell for my different beliefs, and will try to help me see the light, so to speak.

So can we have religious tolerance when there are such different ideals? Or will we always argue back and forth?

Christians are now being questioned by lots of skeptics and even among themselves. Can you list some of those that you find baffling (I mean if you are honest with yourself)?

Ok i just had a little boy. I am so not the religiouse type, in fact i think the catholicreligion is so corrupt and contradicting its not even funny. However, my boyfriend and his WHOLE family are psyco *** catholics. Anyway, my boyfriends mom is trying to push me into baptising MY SON catholic and so is my boyfriend. Every single time i go to her house she bombards me with "why havent you baptised him!" blabblablabla Its so annoying, i feel like telling her tostfu and stay out of my buisness. If i have to baptise him i would want to baptise him non denominationally, i dont want anyone to push religion on him. I do care what my boyfriend thinks but it seems like he doesnt take my feelings into consideration. Hes not the one who carried the baby around for nine months but he makes ALL of the major decisions. AM i being selfish or do i have a right to be aggervated?

I have a friend who would like to go off on her own with her two children. She needs to start of from scratch. She says she would even go to a state that provides well for single moms, shelter, and government help. It is tough here in Calif.

Valour — Courage and Knowledge
Generosity
Liberality — Giving
Diligence
Patience
Kindness
Humility

I'm not sure what the difference is between generosity and liberality? Something for me to think about.

It seems like many non muslims are very surprised when they goto mosque open houses or study Islam from authentic sources. I believe that education is the key to understand other cultures and break down stereotypes. My opinion is that Muslims and Non Muslims alike should have more interfaith dialogues.

"O humankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know each other (not that you may despise each other). Verily, the most honored of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things)." (Quran Chapter 49:13)
