I'm starting to think it's Islam, because I've asked a lot of questions about Islam recently (I'm reading about it, so I have some questions). I never noticed this much bashing of any other religion, even my own.

Ok, 2006 is drawing toward the end and maybe there was something that you wished for New Year's 2006 and it didn't happen or it's just a new wish that you have. So, what is the greatest wish that you have for 2007?

Yes God's power is unlimited. But do you know what the three things that God cannot do..... take time to reflect, and yes the answers are in the Bible.

I saw a church soliciting donations from its members and whoever that entered the church, is that allowed? They force you into donating by peer or crowd pressure. Do you give up the right to reject donations to the church once you enter their property or church.

Hey one of my questions got an answer that Palestine it made up of migrants from Egypt and Syria.

In Isaiah 19, there is a prophecy about peace between Israel, Assyria, and Egypt. They'll all worship the same God and speak the language of Canaan (the Egyptians are muslim, Israel is jewish, Assyrians are christian). God will call them "Egypt my people, Assyria my handiwork and Israel my inheritence".

Wouldn't that be awesome if that was the result of the whole Israel-Palestine conflict.

Hope so.

Peace in the Middle East.

I've heard some Pagans recently say they disagree with Raymond Buckland and Silver RavenWolf. I've heard quite a few people also say that Cabot is for show more than anything else. I really like Paganism but don't know who to start with. I got some really good advice about the "follow your own path" thing earlier, but I'd like some help getting started with serious practice.
I'm open to suggestions outside of Wicca, too.

I was out with my pastor and his wife this evening. There were other's from our church with us. On the way home my pastor's wife started a very racist conversation. Then another person chimed in. I didn't say anything at the time, but it upset me so much. I'm wondering how I should handle this. I don't know if I can keep going to church there now? How should I handle this?

It was extremely eerie to suddenly be surrounded by a completely silent darkness. Has this ever happened to you? Did you drag out the old Ouija board and mess with your friends? Tell stories and send me some s'mores.

Why doesn't the official Pope come to Yahoo answers to change and enlighten people. We surely could use some help there.

If you don't believe in God, were you raised faithless,rejected faith because of being hurt, or just don't want to submit to anyone in authority bigger than yourself? I would like to know how you decided to reject God and why. Thanks for real answers to a real question.

If you were a witness to a brutal murder and the person/persons knew you saw what they did, but you managed to get away and you had the option to go into the witness protection program or have your face surgery redone so that you wouldn't look like the person you was before and you could still lead a normal life, without having to look over your shoulders all the time, which option would you choose. I'm looking at this from a single persons point of view, without a spouse/partner or children. Pardon me, if this question is under the wrong topic, I wasn't quite sure which topic to choose.

I was just wondering, because it seems I am allowed to treat the Koran and Muslim tradition just as Muslims treat the Bible and Catholic Tradition, right?

The second question is the more important one...

It's true, we are the Caretakers of Society, the mediators, the comforters. Why do you think we make you beautiful as makeup artist, show you passion and live in our dance in musicals, comfort you while your on an airplane, talk to you in customer service jobs to make you happy, we comfort the str8 people, care for them as male nurses, help you when you come to a hotel we check you in and make sure you are comfortable, how dare you condemn us. God mad to be you caretakers and you treat us like crap. God forgive you for your ignorance.
