By this I mean, that Buddha clearly stated there was no creator/personal god?

However, many western buddhist sects appear to promote the idea of a monotheistic religion, who believes in a higher power that they call god, who can control whether or not you are granted entrance into his "heaven", or if you need a rebirth....

about mankind, Satan had his opinion God had His/Hers and they bartered the life of one man and God amicably agreed to let Satan do his worst and each wanted to prove a point, and that man was Job. Do you feel that all of that was necessary and doesn't it also show that whether we like it or not God & Satan sort of work together sometimes?

Most are living in poverty, and dont mingle with the rest of the community, as a asian i frequently visit the indian subcontinent, and whenever i meet asians, in particular pakistanis they tell me to help them get into england by saying im there cousin. Ofcourse I tell them to get stuffed, but this sort of mentality has to go away.

Jesus never said he was God. He acknowledged Jehovah as God and said he is the “Son of God” and the “Son of Man”. Are some people confused and do you believe this bothers Jesus and God to hear this mix up? Jesus said he is the light. Meaning he is the light who was sent to get you threw the wilderness. He is Gods ultimate vessel. But he never ever called himself God himself. If you don’t believe me read everyone of the books in the bible that quotes exactly what Jesus said and you will see he is our Lord and Jehovah is our God. I am a Christian and I bring this point up because of my love for Jesus and Jehovah.

I bought a sun dress for my neice and my sister said "she cant wear that to School" I said "why" she replied "It dont have sleves".

I find some schools are very picky and some are not. Dont get me wrong picky is a very good pratice that sadly most young females dont follow.

My question is, should every School have a dress code like my neices PUBLIC School ...
* nothing above the knees
* nothing sleeveless
* nothing even remotly transparent
* no shoes that shoe toes
* no half shirts, stomach must be fully covered

let me know what think.

Students punching atheistic professors, bears (or the Loch Ness Monster) eating atheists (which is a funny joke, don't get me wrong...)

Why do you think this happens?

a generalizing of ALL christians. If I were to say ALL christians I would be putting an entire group into one narrow statement. So How do you address those who are ignorant with reguards to a spacific argument while not being perceived as directing the statement at ALL of them?

I'm only learning German, and i want new media to practice on.(there's a point where all the small talk of teachining tapes drives me mad). I really like Douglas Adams and i know all his stuff by heart (so i can follow the plot in German even though at the moment i speak very little German), I have the German version of his first book and i'm loving it, but i want more.

Some problems i'm encountering are:

1. I am having trouble understanding the German sites, to to find what i want, and i'm a bit unsure about payment and stuff in Englich so once it's in German i'm just lost.

2. I don't have a credit card and can't get one for a while, so i'm a bit stuck on payment options. (I could borrow a friend's credit card if there's no other way, but i'd preffer to avoid it.)

The Bible Ecclesiastes 9: 4 - 6
Anyone who is among the living has hope, even a live dog is better off than a dead lion ! For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward,
and even the memory of them is forgotten. Their love, their hate and their jealousy have long since vanished; never again will they have a part in anything that happens under the sun.

No priests or bishops in the Church at Rome (besides some exceptions regarding converts) can be married, the Eastern Church allows priests to marry, but not Bishops. Some protestant churches believe that the "one wife" refers to divorce. I think it refers to having more than one wife i.e. polygamy.

Can anyone clarify?

doesnt the koran say that muslims should fight those who attack islam? if america or britain support israel, isnt that an attack on islam or on muslims? this isnt an arguement on whether israel's existence is justifiable or not. muslims claim to be peaceful, and my question is why, if their book says they should fight? all the countless verses talking about killing christians and jews, etc. and killing those who attack them... it seems al qaeda are the true muslims in this case. im not a muslim, but if i would be...

My ex used to manipulate me on a grand scale. He used to shout and swear at me, humiliate me in public and chipped away at my self esteem.

I saw him for the first time this weekend, and went looking gorgeous and held my head up high. He followed me around the entire evening, kept trying to touch me and talking to my friends that he usually doesn’t spend any time with. I kept it together and just gave him the tiniest of acknowledgement.

Last night I cracked and text him to say that I missed him. He replied he did too, that it was great to see me, that I looked gorgeous and that he’d always have strong feelings for me and that he couldn’t wait until Ibiza (group friend holiday).

I asked him back, stupidly, and he said no. Thing is, if he had put even the slightest bit of effort in, I’m sure things would be good, but he just continued to do things he knew upset me.

He cut me out of his life to make things easier for him, then last week kept texting and e-mailing saying

Nine-year-old Joey was asked by his mother what he had learned
in
Sunday School.

"Well, Mom, our teacher told us how God sent Moses behind enemy
lines on
a rescue mission to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. When he got to
the Red
Sea, he had his engineers build a pontoon bridge, and all the people
walked
across safely. He used his walkie-talkie to radio headquarters and call
in
an air strike. They sent in bombers to blow up the bridge and all the
Israelites were saved."

"Now, Joey, is that REALLY what your teacher taught you?" his mother

asked.

"Well, no, Mom, but if I told it the way the teacher did, you'd
never
believe it!"
