My new roommate doesn't wear deodorant. I think it's some sort of hardcore environmentalist/vegan statement on her part. We don't have air-conditioning in the place so the stench of B.O. just hangs in the air. I practically had to hose down the living room with Glade last night. I don't know how long I will be able to stand this. Please help!

At my school, they say we are allowed to learn about religion as long as we learn about all religions.

I have just finished the 7th grade and am going into the 8th. But, the only religions we have learned about have been Christianity, Judism, and Islam.

Doesn't 'all religions' also include the pagan religions as well? Or will I learn about those later on in my school life?

I have learned about religion in my History class. Also, do you think it should NOT be required to learn about different religions, or should we just have an elective course on it?

What is it like at your school (if you still go to school) or what was it like (if you have already finished school)?

I would like to know what you think. Religion has seemed to interest me lately.

(I'm Agnostic by the way)

QUOTE - During the Islamic Golden Age (622 AD - 1258 AD), scholars and engineers of the Islamic world contributed enormously to philosophy, science, and technology,

Do your research. I have my serious doubts on the above.

Islam was established by Muhammad(pibuh) in year 610AD. From 629AD, Muhammad was running from his enemies. At 632 AD, Muhammad was poisoned to death by one of his captive girls. Thereafter, there were tribal wars all the way till 750 AD where Imam Husayn was slaughtered and the Abbasid Empire was established. By 945 AD, the Islamic empire was in quick decline and disintegrating and then came the crusades and the muslims were engaged constantly in wars until 1230 AD when the muslim turks rose and waged huge wars to expand the Islamic empire.

God drowned his creation in Noah Flood because they were becaming devil. ( I still don't know it was worse than my dog )

I am a inperfect man, poor, jobless, no house to live, no money, no credit card.

God in other hand claimed to be a Benevolent, Omnipotent, Omniscience, and Omnipresent God.


If I am Omnipotent, I would had created my dog to know where to urine ( save training time ).

If everything is percieved by the mind only, that we create the illusion for our perception, what is behind the inspiration for the illusion? If the answer is the mind itself, why does the world we imagine have things we dont "enjoy"? Couldnt we create the illusion of happiness, which seems to be what everyone wants?

Or is my understanding off.

On my way to the car today, I was stopped by two young men. I talked with them briefly and they asked if they could come back to talk with me and I said yes. I clearly stated to them that I am Southern Baptist and believed in The Bible. I did not want to be rude. Now I am researching about the Mormon religion and I am scared to death to let them come in my home. I have NO interest in coverting, but believe that true Christians are tolerant of other religions and we should share our story. What should I do?

Atheists and Agnostics I forgive you.The truth is that Christians are declared righteous children of God according to God in the bible. Atheists and Agnostics are pathetic, immoral, creatures of God according to God in the bible. I believe God, not the lesser light Atheists and Agnostics. Atheists and Agnostics can never teach Christians anything only God. Scripture says God is love and if you reject love what else do you have. I thank God I will not spend eternity with those filthy, ignorant, smug Atheists and Agnostics. I say this out of love something they choose to reject. God bless you, Have a nice Day. Peace.

There is a fraternity that has been talking to me because they really want me to join but I am not interested, I want to join another fraternity instead. They call me but I pretend to be busy. How do I say I am not interested without lying about my interest in another fraternity and without sounding like an arrogant jerk?

Absolutely, is The Time single(odd) or double(even, plural)? If you say single(unique), then what is "The Time"?

To Narcissisticguy: I am asking "The Time". As a concept. Not the word "time" or not the current time.

You walked out on the Streets of Britain,Shouted slogans againsts the Queen cursed her and Blair and so on and so forth, for the knighthood of Rushdie.
You know in a democracy everyone has the right to express himself even you do,
But the fact is simple when you shout and curse the Queen
you show that you have a seprate agenda and no loyalty to Britain.
Should not you leave Britain and Pitch ypur Tents in Mecca ,
If you feel some country has insulted or Provoked you,
Or you are such shameless people that you will stay in the very country which insults your religion because of a better environment and facilities their ?

But God created sin, if you believe in the Bible than there's no other alternative for you. God created everything, it was the tree of knowledge of good and evil before man sinned, so there was evil before man, and there must have been before Satan.

So this means sin is all part of your God's "perfect plan." So my question is, why do you hate sin when it's just a part of God's perfect plan.

Don't hate the sin, hate sinning....

Did Jesus manipulate the laws of physics in order to perform his miracles?

or was it divine magic?

in other words...was he using and twisting the forces of nature? or do you believe the process was magical and "other-worldly"
