Nothing like accusing a country of having WMDs that we sold to them one or two decades prior.

I have a friend who attends a local strip club quite often... the other day I was with him, my girlfriend is one of the strippers at the bar and she asked one of her friends to go give my friend a free lapdance when she was giving me one.... yes I know I'm leading a messed up life.. anyway when he was getting a lapdance she farted very loud in my friends face, out of resentment for doing this for free... did this ever happen to anybody before?

In Christianty, you go to hell if you reject Jesus or God. The bible says nothing about what happens if you reject the Holy Spirit, other than to say that cursing the Spirit is unpardonable.

Islam on the other hand is very clear about what happens if you reject any part of its trinity. If you reject Muhammad, your going to hell. If you reject Allah, your going to hell and if you reject the Quran itself, your going to hell.

How else would you define a trinity other than by the entities you MUST believe in lest you go to hell? In Islam, much of the Islamic world believes the Quran itself is "uncreated" or essentially a God in and of itself. Much has been written about the uncreated Quran, and of course, only a deity could be beyond creation or uncreated. If the Quran is uncreated, then it has no creator, thus Allah couldnt have created it.

There's all this new stuff that's suitable for an office as well as school, and things are both dirt-cheap and super-cute during back to school season! I have absolutely no real need to shop back to school, but like getting new stuff at the office supply store then anyway. I also think it's a great time to stock up. How about the rest of y'all?

In Revelation 20: 11-15 we read:

Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

In your view, is this an actual book?
Notice that John mentioned books and another book.
So, there are many books in heaven and one MAIN BOOK called the Book of Life. If our names are not found written in the Book of Life, we will not enter heaven. Your view?

I'm asking this because so many of you like to say, "Oh, I'm not judging, I'm...!"

It seems this excuse is used for everything.

Keep in mind that, unless you can cite specific passages of the Bible to define 'judgment' as it is always used, you cannot just make up your own definition. If you cannot fall back on the Bible, you must use the dictionary.

I was just wondering about the things we do to "make ends meet" vs. how we truly feel about the person we are. I am in the middle of a career change, and I 'm going from one line of work that was "not me" to another line of work that is very much the same. I'm just wondering if your path belongs to you, or the person that you "stettled" for.

This isn't an argument in favor of creationism of the Biblical sort. I don't think there is one that isn't overturned by easy observation.

But one of the problems with the tug-of-war between Biblical creationists and Darwin worshipers is that science has been placed in a defensive position, defending Darwin at the cost of recognizing contrary evidence.

When the Darwin hypothesis emerged, not much was yet known about fossil records. Since thenm, a lot has been learned.

The 'usual' approach to evolutionary thought has little more support in fossil records than the creationist approach.

Fossil records show countless dead-ends, false starts, and almost universal jumps without linkage. A few of these make sense, but so many, with almost no direct intermediary linkage, bring legitimate questions and doubts to the table. Yet, science is so busy defending against creationists they aren't looking for other answers.

Creationists, aren't you ashamed of yourselves?

We all know that the Bible is God's word because this is what we have been told since we were born. Now, is there evidence (historical and biblical) that proves the Bible is God's word and NOT stories written to keep society under control by providing false hope?

Why is it that every commercial has a black male in it nowadays. I thought we were striving towards equality in our society. I'm so sick of seeing the black males being portrayed as the mature, cool, level-headed people while the whites are the ones acting foolish. Where are the hispanic women, asian men, middle eastern women in the commercials>>>???? Ohh yeah we dont have that because we owe so much to black males. For their proportion in terms of societal numbers, they are way over represented in both tv and movies. You stupid f*cks will call me racist,, but you know what, your the ones who are blind if you cannot see the under representation of other races. Ohhh yeah, affirmative action is rediculous too,,,, what happened to the notion in america,, "the best man for the job"

I saw something on the history channel once about how the Roman empire refused to go along with some of the scripture so they made up stuff and left other stuff out before they compiled the Bible as we know it today. My question is, do you know of any sites that prove this? Thank you.

I have, and I agree that it does exist, but for muslims and all of those who believe in one God, this is not part of the religion. The "arranged marriages" where a woman is not even asked is unislamic, and according to the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH), if her consent was not asked the marriage is invalid. What do you think of this?

"The consent of both the man and the women is an essential element of marriage, and the Qur'an gives women a substantial role in choosing their own life partners. It lays down:

Do not prevent them from marrying their husbands when they agree between themselves in a lawful manner. (2: 232)"
