as easy as it is for me, i'm not trying to be a smartass. if we were created in his image, how does that account for blindness, birth defects, genetically linked diseases, etc? i can't imagine him being a blind midget with lobster claws and a congenital heart defect. explain it to me? and please don't tell me it's from 'watering down' of the gene pool after so many generations removed.

Yes I know the difference well; as far as a christian does.
That is NOT my question.
I have an excellent working relationship with a collegue. I know she is Musilm and was just wondering what type she is. I don't care what she is just idle curiosity. She is the only Musilm I know, so don't know if this would be an acceptable question to ask. I do not wish to offend her.

There's a woman where I work who seems to hate all men with a passion, which sparked a minor debate - What do you call a female misogynist (a woman who hates men), and not neccesarily a big butch lesbian (because she isn't) but a woman who seems to regard all men with equal hatred.

Frank has got the key.

The prize inside the door is slowly perishable. There is a queue of people outside the door waiting to get in.

Or can you afford to wait to get the key from Frank? Maybe the others will get in and claim the prize?

Some Christians always say Islam was founded by prop. Muhammad (pbuh) and some say Muhammad (pbuh) wrote the quran. Why don't they try to know the truth of Islam? Why do Arabic speaking Christians use Allah for God?

Just say you took a hand full of children raised them and taught them only basics like communication and the main needs to live. YOu than took this group and left them on an island. Do you think they form a religion or find any sense of God?

If your answer is either yes or no please back up your beliefs of why and why not.

Thanks you.

Gay people are going along to protest against the protest!!
Please come along if you can so that we can get this very important piece of law.
People are starting to congregate from 5pm.

Since several days ago, I started getting this bite mark on my body nightly. So tonight I pretended like I was sleeping in the dark and something fell on my chest. I knocked it off and turned on the light and it was a hairy white Spider almost size of a Quarter!!! I trapped it in a CD spindle…

Should I kill this bastard for sucking my blood for past several days or show mercy and let it go outside? Its fate will depend on your votes folks.

This business with the neighbour complaining to the council is the latest example. Why? Why is there no outrage like this about people who drink alcohol or do drugs? Surely, that is worse. A smoker has not ploughed down a pedestrian while driving, a smoker has not started a pub fight, a smoker has not raped somebody whilst under the influence of nicotine, a smoker has never shaggged the wrong bloke under the influence of nicotine (which resulted in an STD and and unwanted pregnancy), and anyways, the passive smoking is nowhere near as real as they say so. Car fumes are just as bad but nobody is attacking car drivers (who may be non-smokers but have had some cocaine or LSD). Where's all this hatred coming from?

My boyfriend thinks our room is haunted cause it was where his gran died about 20 years ago. Apparently once every single poster fell off the wall at once, and about a year ago when I was there something hit him on the head and I had to insist it wasn't me!
Also our cat often sees something in the middle of a room and freezes, then starts hissing - when there's nothing there we can see.
D'you reckon it could actually be haunted or is it just a case of overactive imaginations?

I'm talking about the kinds of women who are androgynous in they're appearance in a very manly sort of way. Thick manly body. Little or no hair. Talks loud with a threatening obnoxious voice. Dresses manly. A tough looking woman, like she could fight a tough guy and win.

I've seen men who date these women, & sometimes the women looks so masculine that it's difficult to understand what a guy would find sexually attractive in her. Even they're personality will be very manly.

Does it mean that some of these guys, are really attracted to men, but staying safe with manly women?

This is why I have a theory that it's not whether your attracted to men or women that proves your sexuality. It's whether or not your attracted to masculinity or femininity. Because we straight men aren't attracted to all women. Were only attracted to feminine women. We judge womens beauty or ugliness based on how much or how little masculine traits she has. Like a manly or feminine nose.

thoughts?
