They annoy me because they seem to think they are smart but I think they're stupid, low class citizens.

It is the same the with the crockaduck.
Evolution actually specifically disallows this possibility, because evolution requires gradual changes to occur over millions of years.

So if you want to disprove evolution, you should be out there hunting for these things.

How do you feel about this?

"Other components of building character in children:

Teaching them useful sports: It is commendable to teach children sports such as archery, swimming and horse riding.

Avoiding humilating them, especially in front of others: Part of treating children respectfully is never belittling their ideas, and encouraging them to take part.

Consulting them and asking for their opinions.

Giving them responsibilities in accordance with their age and abilities.

Teaching them to be brave as appropriate - including how to speak in public.

Making sure their clothes are modest and protecting them from inappropriate clothing, hairstyles, movements and ways of walking.

Making sure that boys do not wear silk, as this is only for women.

Avoiding extravagance, luxury, laziness and idleness: ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Get used to a rough life, for luxury does not last forever."

I believe if you make a claim that something exists, natural or supernatural, you should be able to provide conclusive evidence.

Is it necessary for someone who disagrees with your claim to provide reasons for his or her disagreeance, if you have provided none for your claim?

I am not, as I always disclose, a believer, but I am interested in how religious people reconcile the idea of suffering with a loving God. I am also curious about whether (and how) suffering strengthens or weakens your idea of God. Thanks.

Christian kids kill themselves all the time because they're gay and think they're going to hell. What I want to know is why do Christians continually condemn homosexuality when their own children are killing themselves for being that way? Why don't they just accept the fact that that's how they are and love them regardless?

because they think they are such aweful ppl that dont deserve forgivness? that there is no hope for them? that they have just done to much to be forgiven? this isnt for atheists this is for ppl that believe but yet run away during alter call. this isnt for anti-christ ppl either. these ppl love God but yet wont make the first step to him.

Are You Ready for Judgment Day?

The Bible says everyone will stand before God to give an account of every word, thought, and action. Will you be innocent or guilty on Judgment Day? Let’s look at the Ten Commandments and see if you meet God’s standard. Is God first in your life? Do you love Him with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength? Have you ever lied, stolen, hated, or dishonored your parents? Have you looked with lust and therefore committed adultery in your heart? If you have broken just one of these laws, then you have sinned against God. The Bible says “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” The penalty of sin is death and eternal torment in hell.
The good news is God provided a way out. Jesus Christ took your punishment when he suffered and died on the cross. He defeated death by rising from the dead. The gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Do many of you believe that Allah says to only serve justice to non-Muslims? Do you believe that we have are to be only tolerant amongst ourselves?

“O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even if it be against yourselves, your parents, and your relatives, or whether it is against the rich or the poor...” (Quran 4:135)

Allah is just to everyone. To those who do good and to those who do evil. Allah has even promised that hell eventually will be empty once everyone has recieved their punishment.. or in other words his justice has been served. Allah even promises to show reward to those who are kind.. Muslim or not.

How do you feel about Islam after being on R&S? After learning more about it? Do you agree that people have this nature to stereotype everything and everyone.. and that Muslims AND non-Muslims... should follow the love and peace?

All opinions welcome. I don't report or give thumbs down to anyone.

Peace & Love to all.

Good and bad ,right and wrong is a bit broader than simple yes/no.

A lot of people are "not bad",less people are good,

good people are responsible for more bad than not bad people but good people achieve more so which system is better?

Its harder to be good and all God ever asked us to be is not bad,just avoid sin,avoid doing bad,

Do this and we will be ok,so how is it some people have such a hard time with God and blame Him for everything.

Am i wrong?

Can we win just so long as we dont conceed any goals?

What do you think of this?

"The Prophet Muhammad used to prohibit soldiers from killing women and children,1 and he would advise them: {...Do not betray, do not be excessive, do not kill a newborn child.}2 And he also said: {Whoever has killed a person having a treaty with the Muslims shall not smell the fragrance of Paradise, though its fragrance is found for a span of forty years.}3"

i am writing a novel, in which one of my characters is a guy who uses a wheelchair. i'm finding there are a lot of things about this experience that i don't know much about. examples include:

what conditions might compel someone to use a wheelchair?

what are some typical obsticles he might face, even today in america, with ada & all? for instance, i wonder how he deals with going to a person's house, if the house has steps leading to the front door?

what about greater transportation, ie, riding in a car, taxi, or bus? do these things present additional difficulties?

if he has use of his arms, is it still possible for him to swim or even drive a car?

and, (sacrificig tact) among the different causes of wheelchair use, what, if any, would be the limitations on sex? could he get excited, have feeling, have an erection, have some movement in his hips, perhaps, and ejaculate?

i am hoping especially to hear from people with personal experience from disabilities.
