I met her three years ago when my brother and her were just friends. I have not seen her sense, and she is coming over to my house on Christmas with him. My brother is not being much of a help at all, and I want to get her something so she is not the only one with nothing.

And, he'd also married a 9 year old girl called Aisha?

I read these things here, itself.!?!?

How many women did he marry?

Is this why all these Muslims can have so many wives?

Because their Prophet went around marrying women of all ages and stuff like this?

I'm sure curious to know.

No disrespect intended, but this does sound ... different, to me?

Snake-handlers believe the practice shows faith and God's power. The text for the belief is Mark 16:17-18: "And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."

Long was bitten at the East London Holiness Church. Police have information that says she was handling a yellow timber rattler that struck her on the right cheek, Mitchell said.

The sheriff's office in Lee County, Va., said Long apparently was related by marriage to a snake-handling preacher there who died in April 2004 after being bitten by a snake during an Easter service.

I found this link.
Are these arguments in the given link fact or fiction? Shows Islam in a very bad light. I dont believe they are true. People well versed with Islam kindly clarify?

Towards the end of the Roman Empire, the Christians were used as entertainment for the masses when they were fed to the lions in the Roman Colliseum. The Romans like many civilizations enjoyed watching violence and felt it was great sport to select the Christians as the Lion's food.

While we're not exactly being fed to any real lions, do you ever feel like we're being treated the same way, like we're the sport for the current-day Romans?

If so, how can we respond so that we continue to represent Christ?

I just don't get it. Why doesn't anyone care about me? I have no friends who are TRUE friends. Even my husband doesn't care. He's leaving for a six-week stay in Italy in a few months, and even though he knows I can't drive, he said I'm a big girl and I can figure this all out for myself. He doesn't care if I'm okay while he's gone. The people I work with don't want to give me rides; they're sick of it. My husband tells me I'm a burden; he'll sometimes make me wait at work while he finishes up a football game or an online poker game.
Truth be told, I don't feel like having friends anyway. I just want to be by myself. I feel... better that way. Most of the time.
I'm just so confused. I want someone to care. Even God is gone. Where did He go??? I haven't heard a thing from Him in over twelve years. What happened to the "come to me and I'll give you rest"?
I just don't get it! Where are the people I need to hold me up when I can't hold myself up? I can't find a single one. Not that it would help if I did. I have an almost phobic fear of opening up to people face-to-face, over even on the phone, which makes it stupid that I’m crying because no one cares. But I just don’t know what to do. I think that if I told my husband all this, he’d take it as a guilt trip. If I said I needed help, he wouldn’t want to drive me to the therapist.
*sigh*
I give up.

My name is Kate. But when I was at work, this guy (like 50 something) he's really sweet, he was like "Hey Jessie! Are you following me?! Hahaha" and I kind of looked at him and smiled and then he was like hey! Come here! so I did and he was like "hehe Jessie! how are you?!" and I said "umm good! How are you!?" and he was just like "hehehe I'm great!" and he pretended to "steal" my nose. Yeah, he's a funny old man, but he got my name wrong. Should I have told him?

I rarely give to people who ask for money like beggers because they are more then likely going to spend it on booze or drugs. I never give to people who are my age because they can get a job like everyone else (where I live jobs are so plentiful) in fact i wish i had the guts to tell the to get a job because i dont work to support them. But today I saw a man begging for money and his hands were shaking like he had the dt's and I couldnt resist I had to give him money so he could go buy a drink because he could be in danger of death if he didnt drink mabye. I know im helping to kill him but is there anything else you can do when you see some homeless dude whos really old and decrepid and alcoholic trembling like hes going to go into convulsions? I feel I didnt help him but at the same time I did..what is your opinions..would it have been better to let him stay sober, or did i help him out by supplying him money to get drunk with.
