This week I have telephoned two organisations asking for very simple information, in one case all I needed was either a 'yes' or a 'no'. Both asked, 'Have you visited our website?'

Some of the most "spiritual" experiences I've had were watching meteor showers - I've seen some spectacularly large and colorful showers in recent years.

Questions: how did various cultures in the past view these events, from a religious perspective?

Have you ever seen a good meteor shower? Do you plan to watch the Leonids this Saturday (tomorrow) night?

and yet, these westerners forget that their countries' governments are the REAL TERRORISTS... Muslims have every right retaliating BACK...

I mean, women covering their faces is an issue...
turbans is an issue...
Azan, Call for prayers in a Mosque is an issue...
Arabs are an issue....

what religious tolerance do they have??

when in muslim countries, I see MANY westerners flirt with women openly, drink booz, eat pigs, and so much more that Islamic countries usually DO NOT DO...

compare Muslims' religious tolerance and the westerners...

My mom is a lesbian...She and her SO (we'll call her Jay) have been together for 12 years...BOTH are incredible people, and my Best friends. My concern is this: I have spent years telling my 2 children (their grandkids) that Jay (whom they call Nana) is NOT a boy...and that it was impolite to say...Jay has always looked incredibly butch and its caused the kids some confusion. Well, at 6 & 8 they finally understand...Jay is a girl..BUT Jay has been going thru hormone treatment and now has a beard, a deep voice and considers herself a man. THIS IS NOT THE ISSUE SO PLEASE DON'T ANSWER IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS!.The issue is, how do I NOW explain to my kids, after years of saying she's a girl...that she is now a boy...without freaking them out...They are too young for a lot of details...but old enough to have noticed somethings different....so I will HAVE to explain this soon~ I am still adjusting myself so knowing the right way to do this is hard!...

There is a girl at school who might have misunderstood my behavior and I'm afraid that she might have fallen in love with me. I'm gay but she and our friends don't know and I would like to avoid having to reject her, which would hurt her and make our friends suspect that there is something "wrong" with me . What do I do now?

A woman was out golfing one day when she hit the ball into the woods.

She went into the woods to look for it and found a frog in a trap. The frog told her, "If you release me from this trap, I will grant you three wishes."

The woman freed the frog, and the frog said, "Thank you, but I failed to mention that there was a condition to your wishes. Whatever you wish for, your husband will get it ten times!"

The woman said, "That's okay."

For her first wish, she wanted to be the most
beautiful woman in the world. The frog warned her,
"You do realize that this wish will also make your husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis whom women will flock to".

The woman replied, "That's okay, because I will be the most beautiful woman and
he will have eyes only for me."

So, KAZAM-she's the most beautiful Woman in the world!

For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the world. The frog said, "That will make your husband the richest man in the world. And he will be ten times richer than you. "

The woman said, "That's okay, because what's mine is his and what's his is mine."

So, KAZAM-she's the richest woman in the world!

The frog then inquired about her third wish, and she answered, "I'd like a mild heart attack!"

Moral of the story: Women are clever. Don't mess with them!

Attention female readers: This is the end of the joke for you. Stop here and continue feeling good!

Male readers: Please scroll down.








The man had a heart attack ten times milder than his wife!!!

Moral of the story: Women are really dumb but think they're really smart!

Let them continue to think that way and just enjoy the show!

PS: If you are a woman and are still reading this; it only goes to show that women never listen!!!

Isaiah 9:6 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and his name shall be called wonderful, counsellor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of peace."

One man said "I and my father are one, If you have seen me you have seen the father."

The temple is gone-the sacrifice for sins -unless we believe Isaiah is gone, Judaism would be done according to Moses-Leviticus 17 vs 11 "The life of the flesh is in the blood and I have given it upont the altar to make atonement for your souls."

Isaiah 700 bce didnt quit on showing us who the Messiah would be Isaish 52:13-53:12 He will be exaulted. First he will lay down hisLifeForSin

Daniel Steele says its written wrong interpreted and on she goes-what is the problem-oh It points only to Jesus-well this is the orthodox Jewish translation, not the liberal reform 'Jewish' version the rewrote the bible, and claim the Jewish Scriptures isnt even the Lords word.

Well who will you believe-Isaiah, Jesus or Danielle?

"I remember witnessing to friends and using prophecy as a proof that the Bible was inspired. It struck me as very obvious that prophecy, humanly speaking, was impossible. What are the odds of guessing the exact score of a football game being played tomorrow? No psychic would be foolish enough to risk his or her reputation trying! Yet the Bible contains thousands of accurate prophecies in great detail." Grant Jerffrey/taken from secrets of a faith well lived by christopher coppernoll

Let's say that you're a Christian prisoner in a situation where someone says "convert to my religion (example, Islam) or die." So you "convert," basically telling them what they want to hear so that you can live, while believing and knowing in your heart that you are still a Christian. You pray 5 times a day, but they think you're praying to Allah/Mohammed when you're really praying to God/Jesus. You wear the headcovering, study the quran, etc. Is this wrong just to save your life until you can esacpe/get out, or is it better to die professing your faith? I'm talking morally, not based on what each religion thinks.

This is just a hypothetical situation, not meant to offend or demote anyone's religion.
