When Ex_Muslim asked the question " CAN YOU HELP ME in HEAVEN?" Her reply was "man you wish...you will not see the heaven , not when you are not a Muslim." So my question is, Do u have to be a Muslim to get into heaven?

There is a Store 24 not far from where I live. At about 3:00am or so (not sure exactly what time because I've never been there to see them put the sign up), they put a sign on their door saying that they are closed for an hour or so. Now, I thought the whole purpose of Store 24 was that they didn't ever close, open 24 hours a day. Interestingly, a 7 Eleven right next door to it seems to stay open all night.

I've also seen signs on the outside fence of a playground area that say "No Dogs Allowed". Do they expect the dogs to read these signs and follow the instructions? WOOF! WOOF!

Anyway, what are some strange signs you have seen in your area? (or, maybe I just have a wacky sense of the english language....)

Spiritually speaking, unrepented sin is the result of death,eternal fire(hell)- being born again is eternal life(heaven).

According to ancient mayan beliefs , our world as we know it will come to an end by the date above. I cant find myself to believe such nonsense, but when u take a really good look around,u have to think, can the planet really take us for another 100 years? or let alone 10? pollution is a main threat, but mass starvation is on the way aswell as violent weather patterns that are now just starting to occur. itsa scary thought, but am i the only one seeing such jurastic events occuring in sucha hurry? ex. tsunamis, record breaking earthquakes,more powerful hurricanes, and it seems to get worse every year..

Thanks guys- first off don't read too far in to this, I'm not considering suicide or anything like that (sorry if the title question sounded a little urgent!).

In short: My father, up until marrying my mother, was a career (but petty) criminal, who became resolute and changed his ways upon meeting her; obviously with his record he could not get a fancy, high-wage job, instead starting work for a small greengrocers on minimum wage (and staying there ever since, although he is now manager). He was, from the moment I was born, honest, good and hard working, and did everything with me in mind so I could have the best life (I was not a spolt child by any means, but never went seriously without). Because of this I've grown up (now 21 and about to graduate) without any 'drive'; I have no competitive spirit, no motivation- I'm just a romantic dreamer with no fire in the belly.

I never noticed before, but now it's beginning to upset me and get me down; what can I do? Thanks.

I am looking out of my window and there is a man wearing a suit in my garden. He was watering my plants and speaking to my fish five minutes ago. Now he is just standing in the middle of the lawn, staring into space. Shall I ask him his business?

can it be to just give up? Having just been turned down for the umpteenth job I've just been onto the jobseekers website over here and there are no jobs. O zero none at all. It actually says 'there are 0 jobs to choose from'. It's probably just a glitch on the site (there were like 60.000 yesterday) but not five minutes after a rejection email I can't help thinking it's a sign that I am unemployable, undeserving of a job or any kind of halfway decent life with my own income.

I'm not sure of the Jewish religion but what do the Jewish think about Jesus? I might not have heard correctly but what i've heard is that they either don't believe in Jesus or think he hasn't been born yet or something like that. This is not meant to be a rude or insulting question I just want to know.
