You know, when you say you want to do something, and they are all "me too!" Or when you are feeling something, or did something. Most of the time, I don't feel they are being honest, and are just brown-nosing. Are they just trying to be liked, or want to feel like they can associate with you somehows?

There are many heavens mention in the Bible. I am only aware of 3 levels. If there are more please feel free to tell the exact numbers. My question is why many levels? And what each level for?

If you was a demon, the grim reaper, or any other creature of darkness what you be and why. Plus what would you do if you was that creature? I would be a vampire so I can suck the life out of those I do not like. Hahaha! :)!

I don't get it....well, I do, it was foretold after all. But why do people hate Christians so bad? I see people bashing us for all kinds of crazy reasons. They say we're not educated (I am), that we're hypocritical (you get bad apples in everything, that we condemn (obviously you haven't read the facts). It makes no sense that people should hate us (or fear us if you ask me). Our beliefs are good, pure and a desire for the most peaceful way of life (though impossible), so why hate it? Because it says you can't do what you want?? If you truly did not fear God, then why bash us so bad?? Why not say "Hey, that's cool...you believe that, I don't ...but I still like you anyways?" Answer me that.

1 Kings 7:23 "He made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about." Circumference = Pi() x Diameter, which means the line would have to have been over 31 cubits. In order for this to be rounding, it would have had to overstate the amount to ensure that the line did "compass it round about."
Lev 11:20-21: "All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you." Fowl do not go upon all four.
Lev 11:6: "And the hare, because he cheweth the cud..." Hare do not chew the cud.
Deut 14:7: " "...as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof." For the hare this is wrong on both counts: Hare don’t chew the cud and they do divide the "hoof."
Jonah 1:17 says, "...Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights" Matt 12:40 says "...Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly..." whales and fish are not related
Matt 13:31-32: " "the kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed which…is the least of all seeds, but when it is grown is the greatest among herbs and becometh a tree." There are 2 significant errors here: first, there are many smaller seeds, like the orchid seed; and second, mustard plants don't grow into trees.
Matt 4:8: " Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them." Unless the world is flat, altitude simply will not help you see all the kingdoms of the earth.

Okay, people like Michael Richards are obviously racist. But people who just state the truth about a certain race don't have to be. Just because I say that many blacks speak in that ebonic accent or whatever you want to call it doesn't mean I'm a racist. Just because I say many Hispanics whether they be Mexican or not ride in cars packed together doesn't mean I'm racist. Just because I say many whites have a superior complex about their own race and don’t view minorities as equals doesn't mean I'm racist. I guess saying that most white people have light skin is racist too huh?

Sometimes the truth is simply that, whether people want to acknowledge it or not. Being defensive by throwing around the racist word doesn't make you right, it only shows your ignorance inability to accept the truth and deal with it properly. Until we acknowledge the truth, the source, and its actual meaning, only then will we be able to end racism.

There was a story in LA recently where 7 black girls saw some white girls walking down the street and went up to them harassing them and then started kicking and punching them. It was barely mentioned at all and I only found out about hte even while look for something else.

Then in NY recently a black guy got shot by cops recently and its on every media that this poor guy was engaged to be married and was shot FIFTY TIMES by the evil police. What wasn't mentioned in the headlines was that the car this guy was driving in attempted to run over two police officers twice.

I wasnt really much of a conspiracy person but this kind of stuff is ridiculous

Have you ever heard this quote?
How do you interpret it?

I took it as people needing something to have, like a comfort. People don't want to think that we could just be in this world alone with no hope of something better.

I was a little hurt that one of my best friends didn't ask me to be a bridesmaid, even though her fiance` asked my husband to be in it. Despite that fact, I still wanted to throw her a shower. Her maid of honor and one bridesmaid live out of town. (I live out of town as well, but I at least grew up in the town where she is marrying, so I feel comfortable planning a shower long distance.) Her other two bridesmaids are her sisters, one which is too young to know about such events, and the other who doesn't really seem to care for her sister (the bride) much at all. I told her I wanted to throw her a shower, and she was ecstatic. I know traditionally the maid of honor or bridesmaids will host one and all pitch in on the money, and they can still throw her one if they want to (at her college, lingerie, etc). My question is who do I ask to help throw this one? Is it her maid of honor and bridesmaids, our other close friends, family members? Are there any other etiquette rules?

The Quran, in what appears to be a self-referential (illogical) statement, tells Muslims and magical Genies (Jinn) to recite the Quran:

Quran 72:01 "Say: It has been revealed to me that a company of Jinns listened (to the Qur'an). They said, 'We have really heard a wonderful Recital! "http://www.usc.edu/dept/msa/quran/0...

Why would any God want blind ritual "recital"?

Apologetics:

"Its the voice of God" - What? You mean to say God speaks and thinks in a flawed human language? The Quran, and all scriptures are written in human languages so that supposedly (pc word to avoid censorship) "humans" can read and understand them, therefore it is not the voice or sound or anything of God. So why blindly shreik it out?

"God loves the sound of ritual reciatation in human tongue" - Sure he does. Humans get sick of the most complex and beautiful music, and God just loves and desires that wailing.

Q: Distinguish blind Quran recitals from Pagan chant rituals, how do they differ?
