Also, are women prophets (prophetesses) recognized in Islam? There were several in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible.

If there were women prophets in Islam, who were they?

Don't tell me there's not.When there's suicide and murder and drugs and child molesters out there.When someone can have it in their mind to use airplanes as missiles the way they did on 9-11, to me that's evil.

Why do Christians cling on desperately to the lies they are fed by the Wolves in sheep's clothing and refuse to examine the Bible for the confirmation that Jesus was two thieves crucified and Christ was set free and wqas unharmed under the protection of the Roman Governors?

For the past few years, I have told my friends that, in the spirit of Christmas, I will be donating a present to a charity on their behalf. (I take a photo of the gift and put it in a card for them). I have also told my friends that I do not want any gifts and if they really feel they want to buy me something, to make a donation to charity. Anyway, so many of my friends ignore this request and continue to purchase me gifts. I appreciate the gesture but I really do not want or need these gifts (I am over-run with clocks, photo frames and candles ever year). Would it be rude of me to pass on their gifts to needy families this Christmas?

people behaved the way they should and the way it was intended for us to behave, would we have the hungry, homeless, toxins creating diesase, wars, crime, drugs, abuse, rape, and hate?
Would people be able to die with dignity and surrounded with love and support if we behaved the way it was intended?
If you say yes to either than why does God get the blame?

This may sound a little out there for some people ... but here goes: I was raised catholic, but i never became confirmed because i knew that the catholic religion was not for me (i thought it would be VERY dissrespectful to be confirmed and then never go to church again). Anyways - now that i'm a mother i want my children to have the choice or 'freedom' to choose whatever religion they would like to practice. I want to familiarize them with christianity, judaism, islam, buddhism, and hinduism so when they ar mature enough to realize what they want to practice (if anything at all) they will have all their options open. I figure that at least they will have learned about other cultures doing this and that will be a plus - what do you think?

I just read someone said 7 years. I almost dropped my eggs when I read that one. Even if it is true, why would God want it that long anyway? Why not just 7 hours or 7 days? And there's that number 7 again. Anyhoo, can someone please shed some light? Thanks!

Also, how we would relate to the animal kingdom if this were true?

I'm not referring supernatural or ethereal beings, but I still think this belongs in the R&S section because the implications lead to the "Where do we come from, Who are we" situation.

I'm constantly seeing severe deficiencies in the grammar, punctuation and spelling of many questions on here. Not that I'm perfect, but a lot of this is so far over-the-top it's disturbing. What's up with this? I have the following thoughts but I'm wondering about yours.

1. Users are using Instant Message lingo and abbreviations.
2. Hooked-on-phonics ruined this country.
3. People have become so dumbed down they can't even perform basic sentance construction.

No sooner had the United States confirmed North Korea's Oct. 9 nuclear test, when news reports began appearing that Pyongyang was preparing to conduct a second one.


I'm a foreigner.

I got a question.

In this sentence, Why "when"was used instead of "than.
