Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia_Experiment for more info on the subject. I would like to find out whether other people believe it was true or not, as I'm kind of 50:50 on the story, I believe some aspects of it could be true.

ive been sick before, believe it or not. ive also prayed to god to get healed. ive never been healed. sure, you can say that the money i used to get medical treatment sort of healed me, but thats not exactly a miracle is it? atheists can do the same thing. when religious people talk about healing, they often do it with a lack of medical knowledge. others speak of miracles as if theyve never heard of statistical probability before. if i could get paid cash money for every "unfulfilled" prayer, i could conceivably have all cash on earth, including the factories where cash is made, including all stock, including totalitarian control over every world economy on earth.

Is it true that the Koran says that devout Muslim men will get to sleep with unlimited Virgins when they die? If this is the case, do Muslim women get unlimited amounts of men when they die?

if you don't, where does your redemption lie? (ie being a good person, following the 10 commandments, hard worker, etc)

Please be respectful.

Obviously those first British immigrants had accents, as well as those from other countries. But at what point did they mix and blend so that we end up with what we have today?

John express doubts in the following verse.

11:2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, 11:3 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?

(King James Bible, Matthew)

But he seem to have KNOWN exactly who CHRIST WAS

John while in Elizabeth womb, leap when Jesus' mother saluted Elizabeth Luke 1:41
John came to prepare the way for Jesus. John recognised Jesus when he came for baptism. He resisted baptising him initially. He exalted him by say that he was not worthy to undo his shoe lachets. John 1:27

I am a white middle aged female with absolutely no axe to grind. When a younger female colleague suggested the idea (in the context of a discussion about the Notting Hill Carnival) and I agreed, another colleague said we were racist. This really bothers me, because I don't think I am. But I would be interested to see what others think. I DO have black male friends!!

Do they have different religous functions/festivals? How to distinquish between the two? How the Muslim world is divided between these two sects? I understand that Iran is mostly Shiaite.
What about other Muslim countries.

If you are a christian then you believe that all of mankind was wiped out when God flooded the earth. All except Noah because he built an ark and was saved. It also says that Noahs family repopulated the earth. Without evolution there would be no way that we could have so many races just by Noahs family alone. We would all be one skin color and there would be no reason for the vast number of languages.

Have there ever been any high ranking politicians that have admitted that they were Atheist? Or would that be tantamount to political suicide? Also, in the next election, if the person running for President was an Atheist, would the religious vote for him or her?

Lets look at the following scenario:

Lets say that one of Jesus's (MPBUH)disciples that lived with him at the time were to return to earth today and he is trying to seeks out the followers of Jesus(MPBUH) who will he find is following their leader (Jesus) most closely?

He will look around and see:
1. A people who is giving alms(charity) Zakah.
2. He will notice the same people (men) are circumcised.
3. He will notice the same people is prepared to die for their Lord.
4. He will notice the same people Fast (Saum) as Jesus (MPBUH) did.
5. He will notice that the same people "fall on their face" (prostrate - (Salaah) and pray to their Lord.
6. He will notice the same people offering the Lord's Peace (Salaam) MPBUH - May the peace of God be Upon Him) unto his leader (Jesus - MPBUH) if they mention his name.

Question: Now guess who this people are that he would think is the followers of your Jesus (MPBUH) that I am referring to are:

They eat only the nectar of acacia trees. So how did they survive a year on the ark. Also, how the heck did they manage to walk from Central America to the ark. even if there was a lnad bridge, they would have had to bring the tree along for food,

In ideal, Islam teaching is quite good. Women are protected, non-moslem are respected.
BUT, in reality, Islam practice is really horrifying. Women and non-moslem are discriminated. Islam governments are nearly totaliterians. Lots of Arabs people or government have unbelievable hatred and prejudice toward Western civilization. Severe I-hate-America-and-Israel syndrome. Blind support to any "Islamic" or "Arabic" countries, no matter how bad/terrible the government is. The list can go on and on but you've got the idea here...!

What's the matter with ISLAM here? Why does it bring lost of misery and terrible thing into this world? Should Islam just be banned for everybody's own sake then?

PS: Remember: I talk about Islam in REALITY, not ideal ISLAM here! So DON'T give any crap about it's written in Koran or according to Surrah or whatever... I will NOT buy that! I want FACTS as the answers, not RUBBISH!! Thank you....
