Today will be busy for me, so I'll leave you all with these well-wishes for each and every person here:

May you never hunger; may you never thirst; may your well never run dry and your heart always be full of love.

What well-wishes do you have for your fellow R&S posters, today?

I mean obviously we shouldn't be asking God to kill people and all that stuff, that's not what I mean, but is there really a certain way you think you're supposed to do it, because I don't think there is, and I never will believe that there is but I'd like to hear other people's opinions on that.

9/11 was an inside job and the modern "Nazis" of today do not want to accept the truth.

Anyone who does even a little bit of research into the Pentagon hit will see the official story is total deception.

Don't expect God to bail you out if you haven't included Him in your decisions.

I wanted to respond to the last question but it was removed. Here is why I believe, tell me what you think:
Christianity has a rich history which started with the jews at the beginning of time. The bible is filled with historical facts that Archaeologists use and has been proven very reliable. We have over 5000 documented ancient findings of scripture, many in different languages, all the same. WE have the dead sea scrolls to prove this also. The Vatican just bought 2 gospels dating 90 ad, the same as we have today. There is prophesies that has come to pass from the bible that proves it's reliability. Over 300 just for the man Jesus.

We have non christian evidence of Jesus from Tacitus and Josephus both historians. And a Governor named Pliny the Younger who all wrote about "Christos" and his followers the Christan's.

Archaeologists have found the tomb of Caiaphas who was the Pharisee that brought Jesus to trial.
Jesus WAS a real person who was an historical figure. Even well read Atheists KNOW this.

We have eye witnesses who had every thing to loose by claiming to be a follower of Jesus. Why? When Jesus was killed they scattered. Afraid. BUT when they saw he was resurrected they became bold. Why?
Since the bible is reliable, and Jesus WAS here you must decide.
Was he a nut? A liar, Or who he claimed to be.

For me, I personally have had MANY supernatural experienced with God/ Jesus. So many in fact I started keeping a journal.
God is real, Jesus is The Christ and there is salvation in no other name.

These older women who say 45 is the new 30 seem to be in denial about their age. Do they think by saying their younger it will make the wrinkles and old eyes go away? People can see their not 30.

Is it legal for a group of guys to place an add for a girl needed for a train? Is it O.K. for a girl to say they need extra cash and are willing to put out for it? As a man, Wouldnt it be just as easy and hurt just as many to take into consideration that I can use my fist
(not for fisting) and braun to get what I want as it is for a woman to
lay down? FRee right? Fists--open legs? Both were given. both we own. How is it O.K.? Is that a double standard.
Because I'm not like that, is it fair that I should have to work longer and harder just to survive knowing that there is an easier and free way? And, Once a man in a power position can take advantage of these offerings, is it possible that he will treat his fellow man less and give him less because the cookie is so easy, as that is more important sometimes than anything else in life. Without the need for religeouse reference, where is this leading as far as the working class man goes?

To the followers of these beliefs, what made you follow this path? And if anyone told you that this path is wrong, how will you defend your belief and what evidence will you use?
Please answer respectfully. No insults are intended to your beliefs I am just seeking information. :)

Buildings can fall and crumble, but the true church will withstand any wordly or otherworldly force. Real people, serving a real God, making a real difference. What do you believe the real Religion and real church are?

Terrorists must not be allowed to spread the false information that Jihad means Holy War.


Feeding the poor is a Jihad

Helping the orphan is a Jihad

Speaking out against injustice is a Jihad

The mother carrying a child is a Jihad

Helping the oppressed is a Jihad

Going on the Pilgrimage is a Jihad

Self defense is a Jihad

Supporting and helping ones parents is a Jihad

“Prayer (Salaat) is the BEST Jihad” ?

Jihad in Arabic means “The struggle to do good.”

Because we have rules, rituals, laws and so on? So do most religions. Are we all cults? We believe Jesus is the son of God too, whats wrong with us that we are deemed so wicked even though we are christians too?

If God doesn't exist, and if He didn't create the world in 7 days, why do we go by 7 day weeks?

Finally, proof positive. I checked my calendar to make certain.

Shariah allows the wives of Muslim men to keep their religion of Christianity or Judaism and there is no compulsion for them to convert.

Islam can co-exist with other faiths in the HOM so co-existing with them outside the home is even easier.

Those who say Islam wants to kill all the infidels are only spreading lies.

These lies are backfiring and causing people to become more curious about Islam !

I've witnessed this in other successful/well-off people and in myself. I'm not successful, yet, in the work sense, but I'm pretty well off, happy, and like to dress well, and I like fashion. So when I go out in public, I do like to wear current clothing, etc.

What I noticed are a few things.

1)Some retail workers would roll their eyes, and just look frustrated or sigh, upon me entering their store, and be more rude/mean to me at the checkout counter.

2)I'd get dirty looks, or "whatever" types of gestures by other people as they walk by me, at a public place, such as a mall.

3)(this is a funny one), If I'm driving parallel to someone, sometimes that person upon making eye contact with me, gives me a dirty look and veers to the lane next to them.

4)I get my car purposefully vandalized

among other things.

I mean, I just like to go out there and be the best person I can be, in ALL ways, and people don't seem to like that.

They hate on it.

Why?
