It seems that most of the questions are designed to demean the faith with lies. Not only to they post lies in their questions but inflamitory remarks in their answers. They deny the faith all together and take the answers that do it again. I thought Answers was a place to learn something but it seems it is more of the same stuff you would find in any local pit. You don't have to believe but at the same time I think what is going on ammount to working for the dark side. When will we as Christians get out there and at least stand up for our Lord. If it were a gay site and there were so many pretending to be gay and writing stuff like I have seen on here don't you believe this site would be shut down? Now just watch the un-believers post! On this site you are praised that you want to follow satin. You get tons of thumbs up for saying you want to be a witch. It is rewarded to put down Christians and all we care about. And if you want a thumbs down well just type the name "Jesus"!

If you think you are a spiritual individual, (for bonus points) how did you get that way or why do you think you are? Short answers will be immediately disregarded, for how can your answer be of any help to one striving to live in a spiritual way and get spiritual answers? Isn't this a Q&A forum? Shouldn't you have respect for the earnest who are here? And if you don't get that, why even bother answering, unless you have nothing better to do? And if you have nothing better to do, why are you here? (This may require a spiritual answer - oh what a paradox!!!)

In September I am starting to study International Relations at university and have to choose which language to study. I already speak English, German and Russian and don't know which next language would be the best for me: Arabic, French or Japanese. Please advice.
Thanks.

after the prophet passed away there was a lot of confusion in the muslim world upon picking a Caliph.
i just wont to know why hazrat abu bakr was picked instead of hazrat ali and hazrat umar becasue the muslims needed good leadership which hazrat ali and hazrat umar had.

Do all transsexuals want to go all the way and have full SRS or are some happy to only go some of the way?

I am about to transition. The most important thing to me is to appear as a female therefore breast augmentation, facial femmisation is far more important than SRS.

I saw a programe and a girl was saying she was quite happy to remain pre-op. I am so keen to pass as a girl but for example if I had a boyfriend that did not want me to remove "my bits" I would really consider keeping them.

When they have given us McDonalds, "Twinkies", Drive-Thru culture and a whole host of vile, mass produced, artery clogging, artificial fast food crap?

Give me a nice British Sunday Lunch made with fresh vegetables any day! The whole family out for a meal together sitting round the dinner table or out at a charming country pub rather than sitting round the plastic tables in a fast food joint.

And real ale not American beer-flavoured water. Who agrees with me???

Often certain kinds of people condem religion using paedophile priests as examples. These people are exceptions to the norm. Many, many more from all religions are good and caring peopl. With that sort of reasoning the (ex)German Chancellor Adolf Hitler could be held up as an example of all politicians and therefore politics should be banned!?

For those doubters, I am a college graduate with a degree in Travel, graduating with honors, so please don't spout that "get an education" line. To muslims, what do you think of this?

Can your feeble human minds realize that there need not be a contrast for a concept to exist? If there is an abscence of all light and darknesscovered the universe, would we need light for there to be darkness? We may not have anything to compare the darkness to yet we would know it exists!!!!
Not everything is built upon simple contrast as it is only a human construct to define ideas and their place in the world.

I Corinthians 14:35."The bible teaches that women brought sin and death into the world, that she precipitated the fall of the race, that she was arraigned before the judgment seat of Heaven, tried, condemned and sentenced. Marriage for her was to be a condition of bondage, maternity a period suffering and anguish, and in silence and subjection, she was to play the role of a dependent on man's bounty for all her material wants, and for all the information she might desire... Here is the Bible position of woman briefly summed up."
If one ever wishes to find an explanation of woman's inferiority to men, one only has to look in the Bible. Paul makes clear and delineates the importance of woman recognizing her place, "ad nauseam." (See also I Cor. 11:3-12, I Timothy 2:8-15, I Peter 3:1-7, Ephesians 5:22-24, Col. 3:18-19.)

From what I've seen on this forum so far, basically any coincidence that worked in your favor is a miracle, and any time you had an accident but didn't die it is a miracle. When a plane crashes and everybody is killed save for a baby it is a miracle (nevermind all those dead people). When you find a husband or a home it is a miracle.

Here is the dictionary definition:
"an effect or extraordinary event in the physical world that surpasses all known human or natural powers and is ascribed to a supernatural cause."

or

"A miracle, derived from the old Latin word miraculum meaning "something wonderful", is a striking interposition of divine intervention by a God in the universe by which the ordinary course and operation of Nature is overruled, suspended, or modified."

Aren't you cheapening the meaning of the term miracle if finding a penny in the street counts as a miracle?

Ideas are not defined by pure contrast but by the merit of the ideas and what they hold. Good can exist without evil; good does not exist because of a contrast in actions but by a love of humanity. Can love exist without hate; yes? Does hate intensify the meaning of love? Yes.
Many ideas can exist independently of each other yet these ideas set forth contrast which can intensify the substance of the belief.
