about Atheist's getting married? Or Muslim's, or Taoist's, or Buddhist's, or Pagan's? Are these marriages less valid legally because your God didn't sanctify them? If upon succeeding in blocking the rights of these people to wed, who's rights are next?

Malik's Muwatta Book 38, Number 4448:

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:
If a man who is not married is seized committing sodomy, he will be stoned to death.

...................................................................................................

This contradicts the teachings of the Prophet, who decreed that all sodomites must be killed:

Book 38, Number 4447:

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: If you find anyone doing as Lot's people did, kill the one who does it, and the one to whom it is done.

I realize that no one wants others to "push" their beliefs on them. But what else bothers you about Christians? I'm not asking what bothers you about Christian doctrine. I'm asking what bothers you about Christians. Please answer honestly and without sarcasm. If there is something I'm doing ( as a Christian) that bothers you, I would like to know about it. If I can change my behavior (without denying my faith) I would like to know what it is you think Christians should do/not do that is so bothersome. Thanks.

How exatcly does it affect them? "protect the sanctity of marriage"...
People didn't want blacks to be free because "how can people with no soul want to be free"...
People didn't want women to vote to "protect family values"...
Anybody sees a pattern? Man, should have been born a couple generations ahead...coz hopefully they'll be more enlightened than mine.

The World Book Encyclopedia, Britannica, and all reputable reference materials traced Christendom's teaching to the Greek and Pagan Philosopher, Plato. Among these Platonist idea engrafted into the "Church" teachings are: (a) the Trinity, and (b) Hell- fire.

The Bible says that there is only one true God (Jehovah), and that Christ is the worshipper of Jehovah. Read John 20:27; John 14:28; 1Corin 11:3.

Also, the Bible says that the dead knows nothing. A dead person returns to dust, not to an imaginary place or condition. ( Eccl 9:5)
Even Jesus said that no one--those born before him including Abraham, and Moses, etc--have gone to heaven. ( John 3:13)

So, how do you refute these reference materials. Say, that they are wrong? But really how?

There are many kinds of leaders in our communities. Bosses at work are leaders. There are leaders in churches and in schools. We also elect government leaders.
What do you think are important qualities that a good leader should have?

I am doing a report in my college nursing assessment class on cultural impacts of diet and disease processes related to the Hispanic culture. I am including the specific guidelines that I was given.

Dietary Practices- Examples: Food preferences? Forbidden foods? Ceremonial foods? How is food prepared and consumed? Beliefs about foods that cause or cure illness? Is fasting (not eating) a part of the culture and how do they define these periods? What are their significance? You can always bring samples!! Maybe an intercultural luncheon on this day? BE CREATIVE!!

Cultural impact on disease processes- what disease processes are prevalent within the cultural group? What particular practices may contribute, if any? Any cultural practices that may promote health? (Statistical research can help support information presented)

Don't worry, am doing plenty of research and reading on my own. I just wanted to hear from some of you.

Thanks in Advance,
Robin

For example, although my parents do not wish for me to be attached to the Jehovah's Witnesses, they are acting prejudiced, too.
They don't allow me to talk to them just because of their religion, and my entire family detests them.

However, I know that whatever we are doing now( E.g, celebrating Christmas, B-Days, Halloween) is wrong.
Everytime I try to convince them to trust them without the religion, they yell at me.

People that don't even know me laugh at me when they see me and I can hear them talking about me and saying bad things about me. I've tried to ask other people but they say that they don't hear anyone talking about me, but I can hear it in my head. They don't talk about me out loud most of the time I can just hear what they are thinking about me. I just want someone to like me and not make fun of me.
