Hi all.I live in Iran.There's an Iranian pop music which I found quite meaningful.It's a sentimental song and very enjoyable.I tried to translate it.What do you think of this song?Do you like it?

"Imagine it.Even if it's hard to imagine.A world in which everyone is the most furtunate.A world in which money and race and power are not valueble.The answer to be united is not the anti-revolution police.There's no nuclear weapon, no bomber, no morter-shell.No child leaves his leg on mine any more.Everyone is free.Everyone is painless.You won't read in newspaper that the whales have commited suicide anymore.Imagine a world without hatred and gun-powder.Whitout self-centered cruelness.Whitout horror and coffin.Imagine a world full of smile and freedom.Full of flower and kiss.Full of repetition of happiness.Imagine it.Even if it's a crime to imagine.Even if your throat fills with sadness by naming it.Imagine a world in which prison is a myth.All world-wars have been included to cease fire.No one is the Mr of the world.Everyone is equal with one another.From now on every wheat is for every human.Without any borders and limitations,homland means the whole world.Imagine it.You can make this dream come true."

I've read that Lucifer, Satan, the devil (all one man or same person) I read he was an angel before but then God threw him out of Heaven. How long was he in Heaven before God threw him out?

Okay let's take two approaches.

1-) Religious: Do we all come from the same man and woman? (Adam and Eve)


2-) Scientific: Do we all come from the same group of people? (cells, dna, etc). Gosh Humans share 99% of their genetic makeup.... only 1% of difference. We share 50% of DNA with a Bannana... are we closer to a Bannana than each other?

If you agree with either 1 or too just say yes I agree. If you do not agree with my original question: Are you my brother or sister?. Tell me why not?

Thanks so much,
Muslimah.

The purpose of all my questions today is that weather you are black, white, red, blue, speak english, spanish, bushman, or are a jew or a christian.... You are still human and unique and I respect you!

Okay, I definetly know that my question when you clicked on it didn't sound right. This I know. Please read my real question.

I have seen many lawsuits against people who are racist against African-American people, Hispanic, etc. However, I have never seen any against people who are racist against caucasion people. Why? Have there been any?

F.Y.I I am very mixed. I have two types of Asian in me, Hispanic in me, Caucasion in me, and I have African-American relatives. I am just asking a question and mean nobody any offense or harm. I am simply wondering...

What people seem to be saying is that is life is a sort of test. That if you have heard of God and deny him then you don't go to heaven? If you have heard of him and believe then you do.

But isn't this life a great gift? Isn't viewing it is a form of test in some way saying I want something better?

Personally I think that were God to exist (remember from my other questions I am an athiest) he's already given us this great gift of life. Maybe this is our reward? To live it and enjoy it is the best thing you can do and the best way to thank God. Why view it as a test and say "If I'm good I get my reward." when you already have you're reward.

Of course if, as I believe, there is no God, then we should enjoy this life as it is. There isn't anything else to aim for. So enjoy it while it lasts.

By the way, anyone simply posting replies to this of the form "Believe in God because it's the right thing to do." that doesn't help, you will get a thumbs down from me.

I was wondering what types of rings are exchanged in Latin American countries. Are two seperate rings given for engagement and then wedding? Are diamonds a tradition there too?

If not, what are the typical ring traditions in the different countries?

Is it on the left or on the right if you are facing your toilet. I always thought all toilets had the flush on the right hand side (if you are facing your toilet), until I went to a friends and hers is on the left. I know its not something major, but ever since I went to press the flush on the right of her toilet it has been playing on my mind!

Can you tell me where you are from with your answer please? Thanks.

By the way I am in the UK.

They should do it as soon as we have finished answering. First of all it is rude and even worse when they don't say anything about themselves. Are they waiting for us to ask them in turn?
I don't ask them, so would they feel left out?

How many christians in here believe that all gay people are going to hell? Now for the people that say they are how strongly do you believe in the bible? Are you just someone who follows the parts of the bible you like or do you follow the whole thing? For instance, did you wait until marriage to lose your virginity? Or did you give that up, yet still choose to say homosexuals are going to hell?
On a different angle of the question...if homosexuals are going to hell, do you hate homosexuals? Or do you befriend homosexuals yet still believe htey're going to hell? I'm just asking for honest opinions. O and one last thing. When i say christian i dont have a a definition, The people reading this can define themselves as christians on their own.

Do Muslims share the same heritage and cultural customs, and cultural practices? Do muslims pray the same way, or do they pray in their own language? How does it work? Do they call God in their own language or what?
