Got your attention didnt I !!!

GE 30:37 Jacob, however, took fresh-cut branches from poplar, almond and plane trees and made white stripes on them by peeling the bark and exposing the white inner wood of the branches. 38 Then he placed the peeled branches in all the watering troughs, so that they would be directly in front of the flocks when they came to drink. When the flocks were in heat and came to drink, 39 they mated in front of the branches. And they bore young that were streaked or speckled or spotted.

Why did the sheep become spotted?

What does this Hadith mean? Who can explain? It certainly goes against our commonsense.

Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 6, Number 315
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet said, "At every womb Allah appoints an angel who says, 'O Lord! A drop of semen, O Lord! A clot. O Lord! A little lump of flesh." Then if Allah wishes (to complete) its creation, the angel asks, (O Lord!) Will it be a male or female, a wretched or a blessed, and how much will his provision be? And what will his age be?' So all that is written while the child is still in the mother's womb."

This hadith resembles to a joke. Just the thought of this little angel that gets in there and stands in front of the womb each time a man become intimate with his wife watching the whole act and supplicating Allah for a drop of semen right on his face, is hilarious.

Why is this other than a tide of extremely masculine testatorone overdosed men who think men should do the fighting and women at home? There are many very capable women who could fight in the front lines just fine, who would approve a discriminatory policy like this?

Is there a certain time of day that you pray? Do you read over any passages? I pray before I go to sleep. I light a candle, read through some things I received at a spiritual retreat, then pray to God. What about you?

I just really don't get why ppl misinterpret muslims? They just watch the media and see IGNORANT extremists who kill innocent ppl and use islam as an excuse so muslims can have more enemies. I am a muslim myself and hate terrorists and most of don't consider these ppl muslims since they do things no human with an actual brain does. No we are not terrorists, and no we are not uncivilized, and no our fathers n brothers don't force us to stay home and force us to wear scarfs on our heads ( there are some who force their daughters to wear but that is wrong). I don't wear a scarf (hijab) myself and i go to univeristy and shop here and there and yes I'M STILL ALIVE :/!! I even have non-muslim friends why didn't I kill them?? To all of you who think we are crazy people, stop talking crap. Cuz we follow the REAL qur'an (WHICH DOESN'T TELL US TO KILL!!) and we BELIEVE it cuz its LOGICAL. Not like most ppl who follow Bush as if they were his own pets.

Have you adopted any from Islam?

(Background: One of my online friends Pagan rebirth speaks and sometimes it sounds like you are talking to a muslim... but then the conversation changes tone and you know you are talking to a pagan : )

America is deadlocked in a battle over her founding principles. Will we give up them up, or remain faithful?

Personally, I'm on the side of preserving our founding principles of SEPERATION OF CHURCH AND STATE and Religious Freedom. So I guess in this area, I am a Liberal. Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and our other founding fathers worked hard to ensure that every citezin would feel welcome in the United States, regardless of religion. The fact that our government was hijacked by Christianity during the second Great Awakening doesn't change that history. Now, however, atheists, Deists, Muslims, and to a lesser degree, Jews, Buddists, Christian minority sects (often called "cults") often feel unwelcome in this country because of their religion (or in the case of Atheists and some Deists, lack of religion). This points to the fact that the Evangelical and Fundamentalist Christians are winning.

So, which side are you on?

Society has gone mad.
A man dare not look or smile at a child, lest he gets branded a perv or a pedophile.
Yet for some reason, society does not feel the same way about women.
This is deeply unfair as there are just as many documented cases of women abusing children, as there are men.
Why do we allow this injustice to continue?

I can't speak for the rest of the world, but according to the U.S. Census Bureau the Christian population in the United States has fallen from 88.3% in 1990 to 79.8% in 2001... also the number of athiests/agnostics has risen from 8.4% to 15% in the same time frame. Where are you people getting your information? Sunday school?
