It sucks when someone asks a serious question and only douchebags answer with things that are mean or they think are funny. AM I RIGHT? yeah, I'm ready for mean and unfunny answers..

If so, what are they like?

If not, what are you looking for, and when will you get them?

Also, do you try to "cover all the bases" for friends and relatives of different religions? I'm Pagan with Jewish and Christian friends and Christian relatives, so I do.

I have just bought three different kinds.

Penguins, no greeting, just cute:

And for Christian relatives, Rudolph pulling an Airstream!

Seriously! This woman is obviously a charlatan. Ditto with John Edward and James Van Praagh. Did you know that before the fate of the miners in the Sago mining disaster was known, she "predicted" that all but one would survive, but the opposite turned out to be true? Also, I once caught her on "The Montel Williams Show". She gave a description of what heaven was like! Can you believe that?!

Being negatively stereotyped, or failing to live up to positive stereotypes?

If so, then consider the following question. Why then, have non muslims in muslim countries (Kuffar or Dhimi's as they're insultingly called!) been persecuted, forcibly converted, murdered, raped and ethnically cleansed for the past 1400 years?? A process that is without doubt still going on! I am etnic Assyrian, Aramaic Speaking Christian from Iraq. Check out treatment of non muslims in mid east, north africa, asia etc. I contend that islamic attitudes are generall intrinsic to the religion, and not a response to the west!

I am tired of playing on the computer all day long when I should be working. How do I get the motivation to work when I am already getting paid by the government.

I am just curious as to know why so many people are mean to muslims? Yeh a few of their idiots have and will continue to make trouble-but what about the others???

(it's just been really bothering me...everytime I see a muslim i feel really sorry for them, because I am sure a very large majority are good people and at the end of the day they are human and deserve to be treated equally...the same as we expect to be treated!)

I am 16 and I have just started learning Arabic via a podcast. I plan to travel to the middle east after leaving school and I would like to become fluent in the Arabic language.

How long would it take to become fluent in Arabic? How long would I have to live in an Arabic country to learn how to speak Arabic fluently?

Also would it take much longer to become able to read and write Arabic?

Thanks for the help!

ususally at family hands, why is it that you do not have to take any child rearing courses before you have one? I mean you have to have a driving test before they issue you a license? Is raising a child any less of a hazard to yourself and others?

I'm not saying one religion is more right than another. I was brought up christian, but I am now spiritual.

I am confused with the bible...
Why did the bible forget to mention dinasours, their is proof they existed...
and if God is so perfect then how come he decided he needed to destroy the world with a flood (Noah) Isn't that like basically saying,
"Oooops, the world has failed, and so have I so lets try that again..."

If he loves us so much then how come he puts fear into our hearts from sinning...Yet he created humans to sin...

Then he damns us to hell, if we are not as perfect as Jesus?
~confused~

The majority of atheist did believe in God at one time or another. Did all atheist turn to evolution and has Scientist become your God now? just wondering no disrespect meant.

I know that most of atheist are very intellegnent , but If 33% of the world are Christians and 16% are atheist (which includes people who are unsure) Are you curious what is causing hundreds of people a day to convert to Christianity?

I truly do not mean any disrespect , I'm just looking for honest answers

I still have extremely spiritual dreams, and I am sought out now. While in a laundrymat, a woman and I started up a conversation about religion. She convinced me to come to her church that Sunday, and I definitely can say that I felt something there. I wanted to join that church, but after the service my sister was waiting at my brothers home that I was visiting to bring me back home to my mom's. I never got to join that church, never even got to go back to that town. Recently, with friends in a store, I passed an old woman heading out. She came back in, and said that when she had passed me earlier, "the spirit" made her follow me inside. She grabbed my hands, prayed for me, asked if I knew I was being called. She begged me to take her number, to call her that night. She was crying when she left. My friends laughed it off. I don't know what happened to the number, it disappeared. I left out a lot of details, and this has happened more that twice. Overactive imagination?

That's what it is to "have a friend in Jesus". Jesus NEVER EXISTED. Unless you're a compacent know-nothing, read about it in "The Jesus Mysteries" by Timothy Freke & Peter Gandy.

I recently put an ad on craigslist Toronto selling a cd player. I only want to deal in cash and therefore will not ship it anywhere because I want to protect myself from scammers. (If someone wants to pay me in cash and then ship it themselves, so be it, I don't care.)

I received an offer from someone and they wanted me to find out the shipping cost to Nigeria and stated that they would pay using PayPal. This person was in Italy. I replied to them refusing the offer and explaining why. This morning, I received an e-mail from them saying that I'm a f***ing scammer and they hope I die soon.

1) How would this make me a scammer?
2) Why would someone get so upset over a used cd player?

The person in question would easily be able to purchase a brand-new cd player and ship it to their son in Nigeria at a much lower cost then purchasing and shipping from Canada.

Why be such a mean drama queen?
