I'm not talking about a fashion show, but wearing the best of what you have...instead of wearing jean shorts or spandex and a halter, maybe slacks and a top?

Historians, linguists, and archeologists have dug into this question for over a century. Various archeological digs in Arabia and throughout the Middle East have uncovered the answer: Islam is a modern version of the ancient fertility religion of the moon god. Once this is grasped, the rise and history of Islam becomes clear.

The Arab conquests were made possible because the central powers in the Middle East had exhausted themselves in wars against each other. They were not able to fight off wave after wave of Arab armies which subdued entire nations with merciless slaughter, rape and plunder. The Arabs destroyed some of the wonders of the ancient world such as the world famous library in Alexandria, Egypt, They destroyed many ancient churches and synagogues. Anthropologists have recorded how the Arabs destroyed the cultural heritage of any nation which fell under their sword.

Who were these Arabs? They obviously were not Christians because they destroyed churches and murdered priests wherever they went. Obviously, they were not Jews because they persecuted Jews without pity. This is seen today in their hatred of Israel and the many wars and acts of terrorism waged against Jews throughout the world.

If the Arab hordes which swept over the ancient world were not Christians or Jews, then what were they? They were pagans who worshipped a pagan god called Allah and followed pagan rites which were practiced in Arabia long before the religion of Islam evolved.

Since religious affliation is 95 percent a matter of geography, isn't God setting up people for failure?
In other words, if you're born in the Middle East there's about a 99 percent chance you'll be a Muslin: if you're born here in the West you have a 70 percent chance of being a Christian. So, if there is only one true path to heaven, aren't most of God's children being set up for failure?

a idea she was gay as she kept saying partner,So i asked and she said she was gay this doesn't affect me in the way we work together she is a good laugh and so far we get on great . But now it has began to filter out about her being gay and the people on the day shift are asking me all sorts of questions and it's not my place to answer them i refuse to spread gossip about her after all there is nothing wrong with her .

So what do i do about it should i tell her or just hope it blows over as it's a new thing to gossip about and the people are narrow minded.I don't want her to leave as it get's lonely @ the weekends working on your own and she doesn't make me feel uneasy .

What is your favorite theme in science fiction movies, books, television or any form?

Is it the future or the past, time travel, space travel, alien worlds and visitors, fantasy worlds of the Dungeons and Dragons type, big brother totalitarian societies, paranormal or psychic phenomena or whatever? What type of theme do you enjoy most, why, and what is your favorite particular work or series of the entire genre?

This is not a question where you have to agree with what I happen to think, like so many questions are. Just make it the most interesting answer and earn some points!

I thought that Christianity teaches that the soul is immortal - after all, this is what we are seeking to "save" from eternal torment.

If the soul is immortal, then how can Ezekiel be correct? How can the soul "die" if all of our actions lead only to either eternity in Heaven or Hell?? Is this another contradiction in the faith??

Jesus also taught that people (His followers at least) will be ressurrected on Judgement Day. But isnt ressurrection an unnecessary action if our soul is immortal? Or, another contradiction?

Here's the scenario... there's a brother and sister, right? Now, the brother is smitten with his sister's cousin. Granted, the brother and sister do NOT have the same father. I would like to know if this would be either incest or a huge misunderstanding?

After a couple of questions I asked last night, it became evident that Christians/religious people pray and worship primarily because they want God to view them as being ‘a good person’, and therefore let them into heaven when they die. (It was established that praying for someone doesn’t actually achieve any benefit from God, as He will treat everybody equally – believer or not). Judgement only comes at death.
So an atheist (or secularist, etc) will go through life being a perfectly good person, on the understanding that they won’t be rewarded for it at the end. Their good behaviour is unconditional.
A Christian/Muslim/any other God-believer however, will expect that they will be ultimately granted a heavenly reward.
Who is the more virtuous?

Please do not quote text, as I am not asking a book. I am asking for your opinion.

They are picked up at their homes; the driver is "on call" for the evening, and drives them back home. On average, each man in the car pays the driver $20.

The driver is male and a relative of an acquaintance; he is 19 years old and is not given any alcohol. On occassion he gets free Chicken McNuggets from McDonalds.

GIRLS, say you started talking to a guy in your city you met on a dating site with the intent to see if you guys have anything in common. When would you want to know he doesn't have a car? Would this turn you off? If so it would do so so much that you wouldn't wanna date him?

By the way I'm 22

it's b/c i'm in college and dont really need one right now. plus i'd just rather take the bus right now since i live in the city than always paying for gas. but i do have money for it, i do have a job.

should i tell her during out first conversation? or after our first date? or somewhere in between?

For example if i get a kid i will try to teach him/her about all the religions/traditions and spirtual paths and let him/her choose what she thinks and believs makes the most sense to her.

but would it be wrong if i only taught her the religions i believe in?

or what if i taught her that she was not allowed to study any religion would that be wrong?

I'd like to put forth an explanation to the search for the "beginning" and why its so hard to understand where/when it happened.
It is like a circle. You ever noticed that everything in the world comes in cycles( though lame, examples include water,carbon etc cycles)? When you start drawing a circle....to a certain point you can tell its beginning point, but after its circumference is once covered, it now becomes next to imposible to tell where/when it started!
Can a paralled be drawn in this sense to the universe? Is it possible that the cosmos we now live in is nothing but a time between a big crunch and and a big bang? Does this have anything to do with ancient religious beliefs especailly relating to the Hindu belifs?
