The email began, “I am having a bit of a crisis of faith here” and ended with “Thanks for your answer and any other help you can give me.”

So, I emailed her. A few emails later, I got a reply that was very hostile. She accused me of things I didn’t do, such as name-calling & harassment. I was baffled by this because I never called her any of the names she mentioned, nor would I ever! I was respectful in all of my replies. I did not seek this person out – I’m not in the habit of taking it upon myself to email strangers about their beliefs. I feel that’s invasive unless they invite you to discuss it.

Anyway, I emailed her to try to clear the air, and she called me a liar and said that it was me who emailed her first! I absolutely did NOT! And, she threatened to report me for abuse.

I’ve never been reported before, so what would happen? Would I be banned? I honestly feel like I’M the one who’s been abused in this situation. I only emailed her because she asked me to.

I don't, or at least I have my doubts.

I posted a response to a similar Yahoo question a short time ago--see

In that response, I pointed out how there were several "Jesuses before Jesus Christ".

I also pointed out some facts about the authorship of the Bible, and some links. What are your feelings after reading these links?:

Information about the first Council of Nicea, in which the Bible was rehashed:

Jesus would do celibacy?...so why are most of us not celibate? Many of us are not Christians at all so that let's us off but what about Christians themselves?

Proven false, theoretically, just absolutely no doubt that the religion you led your life by was for whatever reason, completely untrue.
What would you do? How would you feel?
Would your life change?

From any Christian viewpoint (Protestant, Roman Catholic, Christian Orthodox) explain to me how God can know my future and me still have free will? I've been explained it a thousand times in the classic Minority Report format. (EXAMPLE: If Person 1 throws a ball at Person 2. I know Person 2 will move or catch it). But this doesn't take into account the fact that you don't have absolute control over the situation, you didn't create the inertia that will move the ball, you didn't create gravity which will pull the ball down, you didn't create human intelligence that tells us being hit with a ball hurts, and finally yours is just a guess, you don't actually know the future, what if person 2 is a moron and chooses not to move, you're theory of predestination is shot.
Like did He know I'd type this:oegopewoiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii I didn't even know I was going to type that.

In conservative Judaism, If the Jewish line follows the maternal side and a female Christian converts does that mean all her descendents are Jewish or is there some sort of loop-hole?

I'm currently reading the In the Book of Mormon (for knowledge sake not religious enlightenment) and according to 2 Nephi 2, Eve partekes of the Apple from the "Tree of Knowledge" knowing full well the consequences of actually eating it, doesn't this show inclination towards already having knowledge?

The Bible reads for gays like Hitler's Mein Kampf reads for the Jews, but if J.A. is right in the quote that follows here where is the Bible scripture that condemns these other abusive sex acts he mentions and why aren't they so popular with Christian paste artists?. (note: transvestism is not a sex act in itself)

J.A. says:"Taboos serve to minimize and marginalize certain types of undesirable behavior. Pediaphilia (pedophilia) has its advocates too. So does bestiality, necrophilia, transvestitism, exhibitionism, masochism, etc. Are we to give them our blessings? Of course not! Those taboos stand for now and so should the taboo against homosexuality."

I have read Quran with its meaning. I have studies few Tafseerul Quran by renowned scholars. No one could specify the totality, its origin, the word spoken in those days in the territory where Quranic verses were blessed. Yet I am inquisitive to know the meaning of this word Alif Laam Meem. Was it a title to address holy prophet Mohammad (pbuh), was it a name given to him by Allah to Mohammad or by Gabriel, was it a way in that society to address some one in those days or was it a nick name given by Him to HIS beloved prophet Mohammad? I remember studying somewhere a scholar travelled to that part of the world to find the meanings of this one word, living in small villages and enquiring the elders but failed to gather that this word was ever used in their slang language in olden days. May be you could enlighten me to its deterimental meanings with its references in details to go further to find more books in this context. Thanks.
