I used to pray every day as a child, but stopped doing it in my early teens; now that I am in my late teens I've returned to the faith. The problem is that I cannot establish any real connection to God through prayer. I believe that He exists, but it feels pretty much like I'm talking to a wall. Does anyone have some advice?

Yes, This Is About Islam - Salaman Rushdie

"If this isn't about Islam, why the worldwide Muslim demonstrations in support of Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda? Why did those 10,000 men armed with swords and axes mass on the Pakistan-Afghanistan frontier, answering some mullah's call to jihad? Why are the war's first British casualties three Muslim men who died fighting on the Taliban side?" http://www.faithfreedom.org/Articles/rushdie/yes_its_about_islam.htm

Ok I know sometimes generalization are made or certain traits stick out like a sore tumb in some people, but come on. My biggest pet peeve is the whole emo/goth/punk thing; what are the differences and similarities? And why just becasue some one where's black do they have to fit in one of those categories? I would also like to set the recored straight that just because a person self-harms (cuts) this does not make them a emo/goth person; it just means they self harm.

Maybe in the land of omnipotence, being a mortal human for 70 or 80 years is just a way of taking a quick vacation?

Perhaps all the religious folk you know are just people who can't relax and "let go of the office"... you know, they can't get into the swing of mortal things.

Maybe earth's increasing population is a sign that we're becoming the next trendy resort or Disneyworld for gods?

Maybe unfair/unexpected deaths are just people getting called back to godland for emergencies?

Maybe suicide is just a way of cutting your crappy vacation short?

Maybe "you can't take it with you" is really just very harsh duty tax and customs regulations?

I think next time I'm going to a different galaxy.

I can't remember what exactly he said, but a member of the Black Panther Party, who was acting as a body guard to a black woman running for public office in Georgia, used some antisemitic phrases toward a member of the media.

Is it socially acceptable for everyone to be antisemetic? And why didn't Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton condemn his statements?

I'm sure I'll get some thumbs down for this, but it is a legitimate question.

I lost my voice for awhile (it is back again but no longer sing public functions as it has changed with age., so I read the hymns and vs by vs and chorus by chorus, write down what it is saying, at least to me. It is fun, interesting,uplifting,inovative, challanging and I found one with the words on one page and the composer and lyrisit on the opposite=helps understand why they wrote the hymns and often under dire circumstances.

Qur'an 67:5 says that stars are lamps placed in the "lowest" of the seven layers of heaven which were made to attack evil spirits like missles. This implies that shooting stars are stars that become a missle as they attack an evil spirit.

I've been told that shooting stars are not stars at all, but are actually tiny meteors burning up in Earth's atmosphere. Perhaps modern science is wrong, and Mohammad's revelation is right?

I'm expecting the predictable...
"you don't know what you're talking about"
"you are a racist"
and / or
"the Qur'an can't be translated"

So I've provided the following material to prove that the Qur'an is indeed in error.

In Arabic:
"Wa Laqad Zayyannā As-Samā'a Ad-Dunyā Bimaşābīĥa Wa Ja`alnāhā Rujūmāan Lilshshayāţīni Wa 'A`tadnā Lahum `Adhāba As-Sa`īri"

Norse religion


The viking gods looked like humans and lived on high in a heaven called Asgard. Here was the residence of many gods, but only one, Odin, ruled over all other gods. he was cunning, wise, and dangerous. Another god, Thor was god of war, rain, and farming. HIs supernatural power made most vikings want to wear a thor's hammer neckless, much as we today might wear a goodluck charm. Other prominents gods include Tyr, trey and balder. SOme of the days of our week are named for norse gods (try's day, Wooden's day, Thor's day) Vikings also believed that eventually there would be twilight of the gods (ragnarok? durring which the world would be destoryed. But before this event took place, the vikings became christianized around 1100. With that change came a whole new set of religious beliefs.

Men with dark personalities, like James Woods and Christopher Walken, are creepy sexy. They're the dark, dangerous, twisted guys who have an attraction about them. I know that other celebrities can be sexy, but these two are some of the creepiest, sexiest men I've ever known. Can anyone think of some others?
