when someone needs a hug , a kind word , their spirits lifted ... just to be nice ?
or are some of you selective about who you are kind to ?
Moonlit needed a little pick me up and recieved a few not so nice answers that were derogitry towards her religion ... some even trying to convert her
is this what your religion teaches ?
when people of different beliefs are in need ... convert them or speak bad to them ?
where is the love for your fellow men/women ?
can we forget the religion and just see someone in need of some love ?

I find it strange that people are saying how they can't stand being PC. Ok, but what exactly does PC mean? Do you even know?

For instance, someone makes a racist comment, which they say is "just the truth." You get offended and wonder why they feel so comfortable saying these things. Well, they're just "so not into being PC." What?

You do realize that by making these comments or observations are you like to call them, you ARE being PC, don't you? Politics is all about being unfair remember?

So when you make an unfair comment, not caring if it offends anyone, or if it's a generalization or not, you are acting just like a typical member of congress. Technically, you are very PC.

Are some people using the PC card to excuse any crappy things they say?

Does anyone else think it is stupid when people pray for things like winning a football game, performing well, making good grades, etc... because if god doesn't answer the prayers for the people who are starving, the millions of people who died in the holocaust, people who are getting cancer... do you really think he gives a s*** if you win a football game or get an A on your math test??

I keep trying to read it, and I keep finding myself pages away from the last place I understood. I am not even moving on it.

I am usually a very very good reader- yet I'm not even 'reading' it, I'm just turning pages.

The Religon of Money, And True Power It Holds, for it seems to me to be the most worthiest of Gods, for it can do so much for you, buy you youth and health, friends, family, it can make you so very happy.

Isn't it the strongest of the Present Day Gods?

And Do You Worship It Too?

It seems that Islam is the only thing in my life which is clear as day light, everything else seems a blurr. A lot of things have changed for me over the past years, as have I, but I have this obscene feeling that things will remain the same for me ( in terms of bad events in life). I also wish to be married, but so far there is no one, and no circumstance to do so. I pretty much feel alone. I hope i'm not annoying anyone with this, but I believe if you need help, ask for it. Sitting arround and pitying ones self is not the answer.

What are some dua's and prayers I can do?
I haven't had any signs from my isthikhara prayers and i'm worried maybe I have done something wrong.

Can you please give me some tips and advice?
( even if you are not Muslim)

Thank You

My argument assesses Atheism as a system of belief. Whether a God does or does not exist is irrelevant to this question.

Atheism is based on the central tenet that the cosmos is an absolute. The universe is an autonomous mechanism operating on the law of causality: Everything is both a cause to a future effect and an effect of a previous cause. From this natural science draws its authority to "calculate" all things: origins, morality, etc.

That said, according to this belief you must arrive at a point at which Atheism is not governed by reason. It is the arrangement of your brain physiology which decides what you believe.

Even more laughable, is that Christianity (and all religious belief) is also decided by causality.

So not only is Atheism a contradiction (if you claim it on the basis of "reason"), but Atheism actually justifies Christianity. Once you carry out Atheism's logic, Christianity and Atheism are both equal.

Now, how funny is that?

Am I wrong?

good policy to contact someone before adding them to your contacts? I have always done this, but took no offense that others added me to their list. I have had some of the pictures disappear from the avatars of my contacts. I realize this happens when they are in the process of changing their avatar, but I have had some "blanks" up for the past few weeks. Given the trolling that has been hurting all of us, with unfair violations notices, and suspended accounts, would it be asking for too much to email the person you are interested in "connecting" with, before you hit "add to contacts?" Maybe it is a generational thing, as I am older, but I was taught to knock, and wait for the door to be opened. Before it became Open Season hunting ground on this site, I considered it a compliment when someone added me to their contacts. Now when I find a notice from an account user that has been a member for a few days or weeks that I am not familiar with I have to wonder.
