I have always been taught by my mom that all living things are precious. But the thing is, I dont see anything so special about cockaroaches, mosquitoes, and rats. What good are they for in this world? Do they help this world's ecosystem? Because I really think they should not exist.

I have KJV in Arabic language, I have seen the word Allah in Arabic KJV.?
I request my Christians brothers and sister to kindly stop criticizing Allah as the word Allah is used in Hebrew and in Arabic As well.
Genesis 1:1 - "Fee al-badi' khalaqa Allahu as-Samaawaat wa al-Ard . . . " "In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth . . . "
John 3:16 - "Li-annhu haakadha ahabba Allahu al-'Aalama hataa badhala . . . " "For Allah so loved the world, that . . . " For God so loved the world, that . . . "
Luke 1:30 - " . . . Laa takhaafee, yaa Maryam, li-annaki qad wajadti ni'amat(an) i'nda Allahi." " . . . Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with Allah."
Luke 3:38 "bini Anoosha, bini Sheeti, bini Aaadama, abni Allahi." "the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God."

Do you believe in same Allah that we believe or you commit hierocracy

My grandpa was hospitalized a couple of years ago because of a heart attack, and had died for a minute or two. He was thankfully revived and is now alive and well today, and told me about how he had this out-of-body experience, saw a white light, etc while he had died.

Have any of you actually experienced something like this before? Or heard similar stories from other people? Ive always been curious about what happens after death and stories like these just seem to back the idea that there actually is life after death.

Do chrisitans have a sence of humour? Or do they take life seriously, and end up being boring. My type of fun is not going on church picnics and talking to pretend people. I like talking to people who have a bloody good sence of humour and like watching comedy, and even going for a drink. Christians what do you see fun? I love going for a cruise with an old friend and drinking as a passenger and having music up loud during summer and making fun of people in cars only in fun. These days people do not know how to have fun, and enjoy themselves. Why is that? Gee life must be getting boring

This has been asked many times before, a similar one only 21 hours ago, and I have asked this before. This time, I would just like a simple answer of three choices - "Circumcised", "Uncircumcised", or "Really don't care at all". And the most important thing, is to state your LOCATION. I'd really like to see if it is the US girls that prefer the circumcised, and UK girls that prefer uncircumcised, or don't care. Any other info. like age/experience that you would be prepared to offer would be great. for the record, I am English, in my 30s and circumcised at birth. Thanks!

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070525033116AA0kNrN&r=w&pa=FZptHWf.BGRX3OFMiTRVWKpP21CX2PuF_mJQJemiaUaH53N6XQ--&paid=answered#QIN9KEj4KDAB1eEJ4L0q is just ONE example,i've seen many questions like that....
here this guy stated "What meaning does life have, if it has any meaning at all from a Godless perspective?"....don't you realize that it's only BECAUSE you believe in God that he's so important to you?

if i asked you,"what does your life mean to you from a santa-less perspective?" wouldn't you think i was being ridiculous?

and how would you know that we're living "sad,unhappy" lives just because we don't believe in God? if you don't believe in something,it doesn't have any impact on your life so you don't "miss" it anyway!

these questions are completely condescending and annoying....why do so many of you ask questions like this?

Clearly according to an atheist there is no God (at least that is what they force themselves to believe), so after death there is nothing.

What meaning does life have, if it has any meaning at all from a Godless perspective? It might be a position to take if your lifestyle permits endless gratification but when the question of suffering and pain comes into the picture why continue to live?

That is no way to live and definitely no way to die. It is nothing but chasing of the wind and yet atheist so strongly want to make people 'free' and stop believing in God? Free from what? Free for what? Free to do what and for what purpose?

what it's like to be an atheist, or gay in the American bible belt? I would be petrified to live in certain areas of America, it would be like living in a horror movie. Not all America, just the bible belt...
