I fall in love with males. I dream about them when I feel sexy. But I dont fantasize men in real life. I mean I never said that I wanted to go to bed with this or that man when I saw them around, all my life.

Am I straight or asexul?

I don't have a car so I have to walk or take the bus everywhere. I am tired of so called friends saying "you walked here in this weather, didn't you get cold?" and guys that I have been out with saying, you poor thing, wish I could help you if you lived closer". Do people actually think I choose to walk in the bad weather? I have no choice if I want to get to work so why does everyone offer empty sypathy? I think if you don't want to or can't help, then keep your opinions and empty sympathy to yourself. what do you think??

The new semester started for me today. Well, I am a socially nervous person and I can't eat when I'm nervous. I skipped breakfast. By the time I got to my second class, my stomach was growling. Add to that that my stomach was already nervous and anxious. My stomach made several LOUD noises during class. I feel really embarassed about it, but rationally I know it's not that big of a deal. I just wonder if the people who heard think I'm a big weirdo now. Am I right to be embarassed or not?

One or both parents goes off to work 50+ hours a week and they miss once-in-an-eternity moments with their kids.

Why does this have to persist? Can we ever change this?

There are several texts in the New Testament that suggest Jesus will return within that generation. (i.e. "Not one of you will see death before he returns.")

I sincerely don't understand this. Either he already returned thousands of years ago (Josephus makes mention of 'angelic armies' seen during the destruction of Jeruselem), or it is all fallacy?

Don't they realize that when it comes to all other Gods (Ra,Zeus,Allah, Buddha ect.) they don't need a single shred of evidence to prove they don't exist yet when an Atheist goes one god further because of lack of evidence they freak out and Claim that we are insane. Don't they realize that they are being hypocrites for bashing atheists when they do the same exact things. Do they realize how silly this is? I mean for every Christian who thinks that what they believe is real there is someone else who thinks what they believe is..just as much as they do!!!! Yet A Christian doesn't lose sleep at night wondering if they made the right choice. They don't research the Koran or the bhagavad gita to make sure...they just simply assume they are just books. But the people who read thoes think they are divine

OK, I once read in a book that ESP is perfectly normal and natural, that everyone has this ability. I thought is was EXTREMELY cool and tried to find it in me. I more or less succeeded, and I was able to get a light feel for future events at will) and have found a secret method which uses ESP) to win lottery and crack codes. I was trying it, using it for about a year, until I found out that ESP is a power that comes from the Devil, and is a sin. Then, I quit. (I may have used it 2 or 3 times) but now I truly don’t use it any more. However, I now get quite a few feelings and premonitions.. I had them from childhood, but now I have more of them. I try to suppress them, but they can still come out.

WHAT DO I DO???????

1880. Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "The inhabitants of Jannah will eat and drink therein, but they will not have to pass excrement, to blow their noses or to urinate. Their food will be digested producing belch which will give out a smell like that of musk. They will be inspired to declare the freedom of Allah from imperfection and proclaim His Greatness as easily as you breathe.''

Someone please tell me this is not seriously believed in the 21st century? Everyone in islamic heaven will go around continuously belching, and not have an a*sehole?

Christians always ask if we have considered the alternative. If we have considered that we may be wrong so I ask you?

What if the Jews are right and we get to go to Heaven?

What if the Hindus are right and we get reincarnated?

What if the Pagans are right?

What if the Wiccans are right?

Would that be so bad?

IF as it is claimed Shilpa IS being racially bullied then surely it's for HER to draw that conclusion and complain?

Is it not a fact that by an observer concluding that someone is being bullied because of that persons ethnicity, but the victim does not draw the same conclusion, then the observer is in turn being racist because they are making descisions based on race?

I would be interested in anyone's veiws on this, Thanks

Can it be that people here are actually LEARNING something from all this interaction with atheists and other non-Christians?

What shall we work on with them next?

"Verily, Al-Abrar (the pious and righteous) will be in Delight (Jannah). On thrones, looking (at all things). You will recognise in their faces the brightness of delight. They will be given to drink of pure sealed wine. The last thereof (that wine) will be the smell of musk, and for this let (all) those strive who want to strive (i.e., hasten earnestly to the obedience of Allah). It (that wine) will be mixed with Tasnim. A spring whereof drink those nearest to Allah.'' (83:22-28)

This is a quote from islamdoor.com - it says muslims will be given wine when they go to heaven. That is a bit hypocritical isn't it?
