Society & Culture - 25 January 2007

Well, I've been avoiding the R&S section because most of the people here seem to be angry, ignorant and massively misinformed (my new fav. phrase to use here apparently), however I found this site and thought maybe you could all play the game and tell me what you think. In an effort to make you want to play, it is a game for Christians to try and prove against a computer that God exists.

Just for the record, I am an unbiased non-Christian who believes in God. Yes, they do exist.

Enjoy!

Not just those two issues but are you prepared for any kind of emergency. Getting stranded in the cold and snow somewhere, being out in a dry desert w/o water, etc.. What are you prepared for? Or are you not?

First the request: OK, it's a prayer request, my grandmother passed away a few days ago, after some struggle with illness. So I'm asking for every prayer from you brothers & sisters from Allah to have mercy on her soul and please pray for her in your prayers.
The question: What are some good prayers you know for dead people? (If possible post them in Arabic).

Thanks a lot..

Did Abraham have 5 "pillars" of HIS islam:
1. Did Abraham say "... and mohammed WILL BE his prophet?" Or did he say "...and Abraham is his prophet"? If so, why was THAT lost down through time (even though Abraham continues to be revered and honored)?
2. he could pray 5x/day
3. he could have given to the poor
4. he couldn't have fasted during Ramadan, since Ramadan DIDN'T EXIST then (since Ramadan celebrates revealing koran to mohammed, not - apparently - Abraham).
5. was Mecca even a PLACE then? How could abraham have gone on a hajj? If he did - why was THAT lost to history as well?

Did Abraham have OTHER pillars? What were they? Why did they change? If they DIDN'T change - HOW could Abraham have done the 5 pillars?

This is a SERIOUS question that NO ONE has ever answered. No one.

Then why is there so much room for speculation? Why wouldn't it be more black and white? Why would God try to confuse the people? Is Jesus God; is there a such thing as a trinity; is the "us" God and angels; or the trinity; was the messiah only supposed to be born of a young girl or a virgin?
Does anyone have knowledge of hebrew, and greek and know the slang of the language, and the correct translations?

In 2k years, if I wrote, He was a butt. Will they think then, that a person was just a big ol' butt walking around, or will they understand and know how to translate it properly? (he was a pig, you are a firecracker, she was a couch potato)

I have been reading up on eastern philosophy lately and it seems to me like most of it is all about finding peace and love. I don't understand how China and North Korea and most Indo-China nations could be so brutal if they really follow the ideaology people like Confucius, and Buddah. I guess the same goes for the middle east.

If we are born into sin, and we had no choice about it, its in our inherit nature, why be punished for it? That like kicking a dog because it barks it cant help it, or spanking a baby that cries because its hungry. Is God any better than a man and a woman who decide to have an abortion? This world and living thing is giving me a headach.

There is a significant amount of non-Christians in the world - much more than there are Christians.

Do you believe that by not knowing Christ that all these people will be going to Hell when they die?

I was just wondering, because although my native language is English, I also know quite a bit of Spanish, plus a little German and French. A native Spanish speaker once referred to me as being "fluent" in Spanish. However, I have reservations about describing myself as fluent, since I know that there are quite a few Spanish words I don't know. But then again, there are also quite a few English words that aren't in my vocabulary, but I know that I'm certainly fluent in English. What does it take to be considered fluent in a language?
