What do you mean "logical?" You think just because I don't waste my time reading these science or evolutionary books or these philosopher's theories that I don't think? I've wondered at times whether or not God was real, like if my religion could be wrong, but then I realized I need faith to believe in God.
Tell me, what logical thinking I should be doing that all you guys talk about?

Don't say Y!A because that's obvious. I'm asking this in terms of religion. People say things like "Then why are you here?" and that just sounds like another way to say "You don't belong." From first look I thought it was for everyone, but apparently some people don't think so.

I have been looking for an Islamic group on Yahoo and haven't been able to find something satisfactory. As this is a religion that I am just beginning to explore, I would prefer to be in an environment where there is moreso the use of 'guidance' than 'conversion tactics' when handling questions.

If anyone can point me in a good direction, I'd be thankful

1) If you found out that Christianity could not be proved in any way, would that be fine with you?

2) If it is fine with you... then what keeps you from having faith in another religion, besides the fact that you didn't grow up with it?

3) And finally, if you said "no it wouldn't be fine"... to the first question, then don't you feel bad for the atheists who have spent much time deliberating, and honestly conclude that Christianity has nothing more to prove or offer than the hundreds of other religions out there? (Including the hundreds of shades of Christianity)

I just saw an answer to that affect.

Please let me assure you that I have heard all you have to say at least a million times and I reject your biblical monster that you worship.

If you are happy with your religion than that is great. Just do not ever feel that it is necessary to preach to others in the world. Many of us believe the bible is man made fiction. You disagree and that is fine, I will not try to judge you.

When I see Christians judging others and wanting to force their religion on me through our laws I will not stand by and do nothing. I will fight you very vocally.

It was revealed to Hazrat Musa (Moses) that there is a man who has vast knowledge than him, Moses prayed to Allah about his willing to meet the person (Hazrat Khizr), then he was ordered to make a journey, take a cooked fish and you will meet him (Hazrat Khizr) at the place where this fish will missing. Musa started his journey to search for Hazrat Khizr and on how he met him and what are the reasons behind the three acts done by Khizr, please read this interesting and meaningful story.

[Taken from Qur'anic verses from 60 to 82 of Surah Kahf (18)]

And (remember) when Musa (Moses) said to his boy-servant: "I will not give up (traveling) until I reach the junction of the two seas or (until) I spend years and years in traveling." But when they reached the junction of the two seas, they forgot their fish, and it took its way through the sea as in a tunnel. So when they had passed further on (beyond that fixed place), Musa (Moses) said to his boy-servant: "Bring us our morning meal; truly, we have suffered much fatigue in this, our journey." He said: "Do you remember when we betook ourselves to the rock? I indeed forgot the fish, none but Shaytan (Satan) made me forget to remember it. It took its course into the sea in a strange (way)!" [Musa (Moses)] said: "That is what we have been seeking." So they went back retracing their footsteps. Then they found one of our slaves, unto whom we had bestowed mercy from us, and whom we had taught knowledge from us.

Musa (Moses) said to him (Khidr) "May I follow you so that you teach me something of that knowledge (guidance and true path) which you have been taught (by Allah)?" He (Khidr) said: "Verily! You will not be able to have patience with me! "And how can you have patience about a thing which you know not?" Musa (Moses) said: "If Allah will, you will find me patient, and I will not disobey you in aught." He (Khidr) said: "Then, if you follow me, ask me not about anything till I myself mention it to you."

So they both proceeded, till, when they embarked the ship, he (Khidr) scuttled it. Musa (Moses) said: "Have you scuttled it in order to drown its people? Verily, you have committed a thing "Imra" (a Munkar - evil, bad, dreadful thing)." He (Khidr) said: "Did I not tell you, that you would not be able to have patience with me?" [Musa (Moses)] said: "Call me not to account for what I forgot, and be not hard upon me for my affair (with you)."

Then they both proceeded, till they met a boy, he (Khidr) killed him. Musa (Moses) said: "Have you killed an innocent person who had killed none? Verily, you have committed a thing "Nukra" (a great Munkar - prohibited, evil, dreadful thing)!" (Khidr) said: "Did I not tell you that you can have no patience with me?" [Musa (Moses)] said: "If I ask you anything after this, keep me not in your company, you have received an excuse from me."

Then they both proceeded, till, when they came to the people of a town, they asked them for food, but they refused to entertain them. Then they found therein a wall about to collapse and he (Khidr) set it up straight. [Musa (Moses)] said: If you had wished, surely, you could have taken wages for it!" (Khidr) said: "This is the parting between me and you; I will tell you the interpretation of (those) things over which you were unable to hold patience.

"As for the ship, it belonged to Masâkîn (poor people) working in the sea. So I wished to make a defective damage in it, as there was a king after them who seized every ship by force. "And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared lest he should oppress them by rebellion and disbelief."So we intended that their Lord should change him for them for one better in righteousness and near to mercy. "And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the town; and there was under it a treasure belonging to them; and their father was a righteous man, and your Lord intended that they should attain their age of full strength and take out their treasure as a mercy from your Lord. And I did it not of my own accord. That is the interpretation of those (things) over which you could not hold patience."

What is the moral of the story?

i once visited an LDS temple before its dedication, the Winter Quarters temple. i remember it being decorated like a house, everything looked very expensive. the baptismal font was on the back of oxen, what is the purpose of this? there was also a room with rows of chairs, like a movie theater. i think your temples are very fascinating, there were just a few things that i saw that i was not familiar with. and i respect if you don't go into detail about rituals, as i know they are sacred.

On Monday a Church of England bishop declared that the flooding which has occurred in parts of the UK were a sign of God's displeasure with the lack of morals exhibited by people in the UK.

Do you believe that this is true and if so do you think that those who have been hit by the floods need to mend their ways if they don't want this calamity to happen to them again?

after a bouncer - who believed she was a man - saw her in the ladies' bathroom, the woman charged yesterday.

No one, including the trans community, seems to get upset when this sort of thing happens to “a real tranny”. It’s simply accepted that the trans community has no right to use a public toilet in this country. Yet when someone else is treated this way, it warrants both mention and a photo in the New York Daily News, and a law suet.
What if anything is this article saying about the transgender and/or the LGBT community as a whole’s acceptance of this?
Khadijah Farmer said she felt humiliated by her experience yet the trans community just seems to accept this sort of thing as day-to-day normal.

Apparently Diana was having her affair with James Hewitt at the time Prince Harry was conceived and it has to be said that Harry looks far more like James that he looks like Charles.

Is there any truth to this story?

this is what i read earlier.... it is about a guy explaining something that happened at his fathers funeral...

"While I was eating she came up to me didn't even say "sorry or anything." She continued on and on at least an hour about her problems and life in general. I was already depressed about my dad and other things. Then a year later after my dad's death she starts following me at my church, and then the store I go to grocery store shopping at and the same laundromat too, and asking me strange questions, about me and my family! She was stalking me, because she lives 20 minutes away and there are plenty of stores and 2 churches where she lives.Is she crazy or what, and what do you make of this? She also asked me how much $$ did we get from my Dad, and does my family have to work or anything......... "

...for some reason i got a very odd feeling from it. i don't even know how to explain i just feel like things are so extremely weird in this world..... (additional details comin)
