In Islam, I understand that drinking alcohol is not allowed, hence the reason there are shisha cafes(i hope thats right) but is drinking mead acceptable, its not alcohol its made of honey. Would drinking mead be allowed or is there a prohibition on that as well, just curious. Partly asking because of the scene in the 13th warrior when the guy drinks mead after learning its made of honey not alcohol.

I just read the article where Jesse Jackson referred to New York as "Jew York" and "Hymie-Town". He claims that "those people" are part of a conspiracy to keep black people down.

Could it be that he hates Jews so much, because while the Holocaust happened 50 years ago, fresh in the lifetimes of many Jews, they don't whine and cry about it asking for reparations and refusing to work? Is it because slavery, having been more than a century and a half ago, has no survivors who can remember what it was like, who still bear the marks of their oppression? Is it because unlike blacks, the Jews have typically been succesful in buisiness matters and politics, and that they forgive German survivors of Hitlers army far more than blacks forgive white people who weren't even alive during the days of slavery? Is it because he understands that while Jews have far greater reason to be bitter, they usually aren't, proving that the only chains blacks wear today are by their own choice?

sin? disobeying the words of Jesus or disobeying the words of men?
Jesus said obey the laws of Moses.
The "apostles"( whom did not write the books of the NT) say they do not apply.
SO which should we do?

this is going to sound strange, but here goes.. my bf's boss and wife are mormons..well, the other day my bf said that the boss's wife had something sticking out from the bottom of her shorts, the way he described it to me was kind of thin spandex looking, about the length of her shorts, the first thing I thought was she was just wearing a girdle. Well, then my bf told the boss's brother about it and he told him that all Mormons wear those things under their clothes on top of their underwear. This sounds really strange to me and the guy is also known to lie ALOT so I was just wondering if anyone knows this mormon undergarment thing to be true?

I believe so. We are hard working, live normal, happy, free lives & we help others, we work as a team without religion being a factor. We are generous, loving & have a good sense of humour. So why do the Christians & some other religions hate us so much? Dont they like how honest WE are?

In your opinion, which way are you supposed to wear your wedding ring?

Should the band go on first (closer to your wrist) with the solitaire on top -- or the other way around?

Thanks!

If I was to profess that I believed that little, purple, magical man-llamas with telepathic powers were secretly monitoring and controlling every aspect of our lives I would be locked up in a padded room and drugged in a heartbeat.

What makes that irrational belief any different from believing in a god or an angel or a deity of any sort from one of the "traditional" organized religions?

Read a book called "the Evolution cruncher." It proves to me that evolution isnt right. And theres no evidence for creationism. Thus, in my opinion, neither work. Perhaps a compromise between the two theories would work, but theres no evidence for such a compromise. My belief? Science will eventually figure out the truth. But only if they would drop evolution and realize that it doesnt work.

Your thoughts please? And dont just call me an idiot okay? Its my opinion.

I have found that during meditation, once I become very relaxed and receptive, my core begins to rock - either in a side-to-side motion, or circular - and the rest of my body follows. It is very relaxing once I "tune into it" and it seems to open up my top two chakras. Does anybody know where this comes from? Is it physiological or more psychically oriented? I can resist it if I try to, but it feels like a strong pull.

Okay. I know that if you don the mark of the beast you're doomed for all eternity...However if you are forced to wear it and you don't use it for anything such as buying selling or anything like that? Will god forgive you?

I believe that if you where forced to but never use the mark I imagine that god will forgive that person because he didn't follow in Satan's plan.

I asked why some ministers are so rich.

I am not poor. I don't believe that ministers should be poor.

I just think that some of them are con-artists and make people believe that if they give them their money that they will go to heaven.

There is nothing wrong with people donating money to churches.

evolution is about, that they just fuel the stereotype that creationist are morons?
Evolution is NOT random.
It doesn't prove OR disprove God (sorry my athiest friends but it doesn't. It presents evidence but nothing conclusive)
It does NOT state the ORIGIN of life, it is only how life became as it is now.
So, can we all agree that if you are going to argue evolution vs creationism that you should actually know what you are argueing about?

I have a lunch interview with 2 of the HR Managers and their boss tomorrow. I already had an interview with the 2 HR Managers at their office a couple of weeks ago. They were very friendly and asked the basic interview questions. They are looking to hire 2 people. So I have been invited to lunch with the 3 of them plus one other candidate. So i am wondering if they are having lunch with several candidates and doing it 2 at a time. What kind of questions do you think they will ask? I know they will want to see how I can interact socially and if their boss will like me. We are having lunch at one of their restaurants. Its a company that owns several well known restaurants. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

he wrote:

"...when you're God is as big as mine . . you can be ignorant."

now, i would say that, not only is this statement arrogant, it is also extremely dangerous

i mean, think about it. what he is saying is, his God AFFORDS him ignorance!

and we all know what comes of ignorance...

im making a serious point here.

what do other people think?
