Personally, I can't wait to shower when i get up and use Dove, and Sunsilk products for my hair. So for those who say muslims don't bathe (I know not all, but these ignorant ones are out there who honestly think this), what do you think of this?

"Washing and bathing are religious requirements for Muslims, which is perhaps why they perfected the recipe for soap which we still use today. The ancient Egyptians had soap of a kind, as did the Romans who used it more as a pomade. But it was the Arabs who combined vegetable oils with sodium hydroxide and aromatics such as thyme oil. One of the Crusaders' most striking characteristics, to Arab nostrils, was that they did not wash. Shampoo was introduced to England by a Muslim who opened Mahomed's Indian Vapour Baths on Brighton seafront in 1759 and was appointed Shampooing Surgeon to Kings George IV and William IV."

“Women should not be enlightened or educated in any way. They should, in fact, be segregated as they are the cause of hideous and involuntary erections in holy men.”

We all know that the number 666 is found in Revelation, right? I know what Bible prophecy experts claim that number to be.

What is your view of 666?

I prayed to Jesus to help me pick an avatar and show me how to put it up here, and he did! At least, I think it was Jesus. It might have been some other half-human, half-god hybrid. They all look pretty much alike, so how do you tell the difference?

"The Bible refers to many the common animals we know today. The list includes lions, wolves, bears, sheep, cattle and dogs along with various kinds of birds, rodents, reptiles, and insects. What is interesting is that this extensive list includes three animals that we no longer recognize. These three are (in the original Hebrew language) tanniyn, b@hemowth (yes, it’s spelled correctly—at least as close as we can get in Roman characters), and livyathan.

Although we alter the spelling of behemoth and Leviathan slightly, we still use those same words in bibles today. However, tanniyn is always translated into another word when we write it in English. Tanniyn occurs 28 times in the Bible and is normally translated “dragon.” It is also translated “serpent,” “sea monster,” “dinosaur,” “great creature,” and “reptile.” Behemoth and Leviathan are relatively specific creatures, perhaps each was a single kind of animal.

A parent can protect their child. A parent can stop their toddler from entering the kitchen alone, where they may be burnt by the flame of the stove. Any good parent would protect their child this way.

However, it's been said that we are all God's children. God, at his level of power, could certainly stop murder, violence, pain, etc. But he does not.

Now, if a child were to enter the kitchen, and the parent were to sit on the couch, watching through the doorway as their child places his curious fingers within the flame of the stove, the parent is considered a bad mother or father; people and society would despise them.

But when God sits by, in Heaven, and watches as murder, violence, pain, etc., occurs, we praise him, and preach his name.

What makes the biological parent a bad person for not protecting their child, and the religious parent (God) worthy of great praise?

They seem to be white,angry overweight pigs whom can't get even a homely guy if they even tried.They also wear long dresses and dress conversatively.While they may be seemingly good-to-uses,I believe,deep down, they are angry at themselves for whom they are and everyone else looks down upon them.

Evoulution and the big bang are only therory with no facts to base it off of. God is the one who created every1 and everything and i can prove it with a historic book called the Bible. Plus the fact God created the earth makes much much much more sense than ur long scientific explanations that always seem to end up leaving more ?'s than answers. Who thinks they can prove it? I want to no if any of u can actually prove what u believe because i can w/ God's word. So what about u?

Did you ever have a question regarding religion that you did not ask, out of fear? Maybe it was uncomfortable, or you thought it was a "stupid" question?

I'm a Christian and I have always belived in staying a virgin until I was married. I always thought I would be. I started dating a guy that I met at college and after a few months i ended up giving him oral sex, I feel so bad. I didnt let him do anything to me even though he wanted to. Am I still a virgin? I'm hoping but I dont really think so...I've asked for forgivness and I cant believe how stupid I was and how I messed up my life. It only happened once. A few months later we broke up over unrealted stuff and now I feel even worse about it. I keep thinking God might of caused us to break up because we werent pure. So right now Im dealing with being so heartbroken over the break up and feeling guily. I know God has forgiven me but I cant get past the guilt. And if me and my ex never get back together, I'm worried my future hisband might lose respect for me. Any Christians know of anything that could help me not feel so guilty?
