You carry a picture of your loved one in your wallet or put a picture of your friend in a frame on the wall because you care for that person and the picture serves as a reminder of that person, but when a Catholic posts a painting of Mary or a Saint in a church, one automatically assumes it is idolatry and we are worshipping them?

Or did it start with Jesus of the New Testament?
In other words, is there Hebraic influence seen in modern Christian beliefs and worship?

If you read these, you see they are about self defense, and also telling the reader that if the person you are defending yourself from stops, then you must stop too. It also says don't go overboard in protecting yourself, just do what you need to stay alive and protect yourself. This does not mean to go around killing innocent people. Self defense is not killing those who are not muslim. Self defense is just that. If physically attacked, fight back. If the attacker stops, you stop too. And why was verse 192 left out of the Answering Islam site? Is it because it made people really think about this? It says if the attacker stops, then good, all is forgiven.
[002:190] Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you, but begin not hostilities. Lo! Allah loveth not aggressors.

This is a passage from the Bible - it's well worth reading this!
In the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires. They will say, "What happened to the promise that Jesus is coming again? From before the times of our ancestors, everything has remained the same since the world was first created."
They deliberately forget that God made the Heavens by the word of His command, and He brought the earth out from the water and surrounded it with water. Then He used the water to destroy the ancient world with a mighty flood. And by the same word, the present Heavens and earth have been stored up for fire. They are being kept for the day of judgment, when ungodly people will be destroyed.
A day is like a 1,000 years to the Lord, and a 1,000 years is like a day. The Lord isn't really being slow concerning His promise, as some people think. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants ever everyone to repent.

If handicap people insist that they are no better or worse then anyone else why the special treatment?
Dont get pissed at me. Get pissed at Carlos Mencia. Either way, I think he has a point. May not be a workable point and it takes us places that make us feel bad and uncomfortable but its true, if you want to be just like "us" then be just like "us". I sweat my *** off walking from the back fo the parking lot to the store. You want to be treated like me, walk your broken *** from the back of the parking lot with me.
**When this is applicable...there are disabilities that just require special treatment**

I've noticed that when (especially young) people insult eachother, they begin to insult the other person's mother. But why? That's stupid, since the other person probably doesn't even know their mother, and she has nothing to do with their little dispute. Why don't they insult their father, instead?

I've lived in Southern California for 20 years. I'll be moving to Abbeville, LA in a couple of months - not particularly because I want to, but to stay close to family who's also moving there. I've heard some things about the state that have me a bit worried, like racism and the hurricanes. I'd like some information from some people who know the area to let me know what exactly I'm getting myself into.

*You arrive at work. You see your boss, with whom you are on good terms but have strictly a professional relationship. She spoke about her sick dog the other day. Let's call this dog "Muffy."*
You: Good morning!
Boss: Good morning. How are you?
You: I'm doing well, thanks, and you?
Boss: Fine, thanks.
You: So, how is Muffy?
Boss: Well, we had to put her down.
Me: Oh, no. I'm so sorry to hear that.

You cut and paste half the Bible as your undisputable proof for your beliefs, but, Atheists seem to make their arguments much stronger using their own imagination and intelligence. You seem to be lacking these qualities.

Sklemetti, A JW answered a question by Lysdexic Princess, "When someone uses old Watchtower Publications.."
In his answer he made the following 3 statements. I want to know, "Do you guys agree with him. I've never heard a JW say this. (Especially point #3)
1) "The Watchtower Society can say all they want and it does not affect Jehovahs Witnesses"
2) "Where do you get the idea that Gods mouthpiece would be error free?"
3) "Where do you get the idea that GOD is error free?" (caps mine)
I admit I'm finding it hard to believe that the rest of you JW's are going along with this. Especially statement #3
So tell me, does HE represent JW thinking in these matters?
Because if he does, I'll admit its a shock to me.

People are appauled if they allow a few seconds of nudity on TV (not even something sexual), but they allow all sorts of violence. They rate movies that would otherwise be G rated as R just because of a little nudity. But a PG-13 movie they can say f*ck and show all sorts of violence.
The way i see it, its just someones body. Its just really stupid. Everyone has a bady and nudity DOES NOT equal sexuality. Parents think that if a child sees nudity they will want to have sex, but do not seem to think that them hearing tons of swearing will not make them want to swear. I'd rather have a child see nudity, a natural thing, than see someone shooting someone and calling a woman a ***** on TV.
Who agrees with me?

If you saw two men trying to snatch up a child and force her into van, would you answer her screams for help? No because that would interfere with free will.
If your neighbor's house was struck by lightning and they had lost everything, would you help? If you had an infinite amount of food and they were starving? No because they might learn something from watching their kids go hungry.
If you could snap your fingers and cure every birth defect, would you do it? No because that wouldn't test anyone's faith.
If an accident victim was bleeding in the streets, would you help? No, free will and tests of faith and all that.
How can an all powerful god allow so much suffering? The answer is either he/she/it doesn't exist or god is just a sadist.
