I hear Muslims saying 45,000 white women in America convert to Islam each year. 40,000 african american men and women convert to Islam each year etc etc. 12,000 white men convert to Islam each year.150,000 Muslims immigrate to America each year. 90,000 kids are born to Muslims each year. This is all in the media and on you tube. I just want to know in what year Muslims will be the majority say 51% in America? Can anyone give a good statistical prediction?

Is it true any of these "saints" said this or is it a misinterpretation of what they REALLY said?

AND - if it is true that they said such a thing, which is DIRECT BLASPHEMY to all of the bible and God (remember this is where Satan fell from heaven) then why are they considered a saint in ANY religion?

Thanks to all that respond..

is there a point to repenting your sins? it just means you can go about doing what you want, doing wrong and hurting others as long as you coe back at the end of the day and are forgiven. but even if you you didnt repent isnt god all forgiving, so there is no need in repenting your sins?

By the time I was 13 years old, I was using drugs, drinking alcohol, and involved in criminal activity. At 17 years old I ended up in Jail for one year. I was released and then I became a drug addict,. I am ashamed of the life that I once lived, By the age of 22, I was arrested on many charges, and while in jail this time the only book that they would give me to read was the Bible, I wrote on the walls, then finally I started to read it. I was raised atheist and had never seen or picked up a Bible in my lifetime thus far. I was saved by this Bible, I do believe, Does anyone else think it is possible?

MiLady and i have a D/s relationship. As the sub, i stay at home while She goes to the office. She is close enough that sometimes She will come for lunch, either alone or with a coworker or two. i prepare the lunch(es), serve T/them, and let T/them have some privacy.
Ok so, today MiLady called and She said She'd be home for lunch with a guest. She came home with a guy, who She said, was a friend (not a coworker).... She drove T/them here.
She told him i was Her cook and nothing else. She said to just call me by my last name if he needed something.
T/they ate and as T/they were leaving, She put Her arm through his, turned and said, "I'll let you know about dinner. I may be going out." he looked at Her, smiled and T/they left arm in arm.....
i am crushed and so worried. Should i call Her and ask Her to come home for dinner? Suppose She didn't go back to the office? Would She think i'm checking up on Her?
All suggestions would be appreciated! i can't even think anymore.

Then why do some even bother asking atheists to disprove god, or invite atheist speakers to debate?

Nothing an atheist scientist could say would alter the fact that they state that god is outside of nature, and the rules do not apply to their god.

Even if you don't believe in "sin," do you think it's that bad? On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being the worst) how awful do you think racism is if you are just thinking it and not deliberately hurting others?

The reason I ask is because I find people today, as opposed to 10 or even 20 years ago, have been almost "shamed" into feeling despicable if they're called a racist. It's like the worst thing in the world to be called, next to pedophile or arsonist! If someone says something and someone else implies they are being racist, the first person often backtracks so fast you can hear their wheels spinnin;' they are THAT reluctant to be called a racist.

I think North America is the most affected by that word. No other country seems to lose a lot of sleep over that slur.

Well, I don't claim donating is bad. For sure, it's one of good things to do! But there are so many charities asking for donations and once one has subscribed they start asking for more! So, what I'd like to ask you is whether you donate, and in what form.
Some of them really have good causes but are too persistent in asking!

OK, im a Christian. I have never understood why some others won't do Halloween. I have been given grief about celebrating it and people have told me it is a preocuption with evil. I honestly don't see any evil in a kid pretending to be something he or she is scared of one night out of the year. It's not like I look down the street and see kids burning crosses and sacrificing lambs. I see kids with candy, laughter, good fun, and a sense of mystery. A few local churches have tried to do trunk or treats where you go from car to car in their parking lot. I hate this as I think it defeats the purpose. Its supposed to be a little scarey and thats why its fun. I really want to know are you for or against and how many people are against one of our biggest holidays? And why? I'm a good christian, not perfect, but good. And I consider is just plain mean to deny this holiday from children. Right?

They must know the letter kills and all the great masters where gentle and kind. What happened. Too much following Paul or others? And what's up with Atheists, is hate one of the rules? Or is that not Atheism, but something else and what? Inquiring minds want to know.

Personally I think the lady that started going on about Harry Potter was just about abusive, breaking the kids down mentally like that. As well I think she failed to realize that Harry Potter is fictional and that MOST kids can realize that he's NOT real. And if she's going to make sure that "the rest of their lives" their going to be saved and she's the woman to do it, why is she obese? Isn't gluttony a sin? Is she tempted by Satan to pack on the pounds at the local McDonald's or what?
