And do you think it is ok for you to have sharia law in your neighborhood.

Note: sharia law is the Islamic laws that includes but not limited to, women takes less than men in inheritance, chopping hand for stealing, 100 lashes if you make sex before marriage, chopping hand and leg in opposite directions if you corrupt the earth, being thrown from a high building or beheaded if you are homosexual. marriage can be conducted even for babies, and sex after pubrty. you ll be stoned to death if you cheat on your wife or husband.

for reference guys: well, go and read the quran and let me know, these there, and it is different from the bible, that Allah in the quran ordered Muslims to carry them out.

here are some whitewashed versions of Islamic sites (to make some dhimmis) trying to defend their punishments, but obviously you can see the err still

Like, if you have Scottish blood and can trace your family name ie McDonald - you can say you're descended from the McDonald "clan".

My great grandmother's maiden name was O'Brian (with an "a" rather than O'BriEn), and her mother's maiden name was Cronan. Are these like "clans"?

We've done a bit of family history research and found out that they were from Cork and Waterford, but not sure exactly where. They came to Newport, Gwent (South Wales) in the 19th Century and apparently they spoke Gaelic. We'd love to find out more but not sure where to start.

Often, discussions about morality seem to be centered around our actions, as opposed to thoughts or feelings. When can we say that thoughts or feelings are immoral?

I am interested in hearing what you think. I welcome and encourage responders from all philosophies and religions.

The best answer will be awarded to the most thoughtful and well-explained response. (My selection of best answer will have nothing to do with my personal beliefs about this question.)

of people who come here purely to insult other people and their beliefs?? I think they are very immature, childish and bitter because their own lives have no meaning so they try to bring others down to be as miserable as they are.

Fear of differences ?

Wind blows due a difference in its own temporature within different zones.

Nothing is wrong if humans have differences, hate, love and wars, it keeps the life in action and growing forward. Otherwise the life would be aimless/direction less.

Your opinion please.

It makes more sense to me that he'd make each of us different, but put in our soul the perfect knowledge of His own being, and how to worship Him properly.

Why didn't he create what He desired, a race of people designed to worship Him?
... and if He did not create people designed to worship Him, can He really find fault with human beings for acting "naturally"?

every company has one. i like to think i should run my life the same way i would run a small business, with growth in mind, and goals to accomplish that growth, so i've written my plans down, and i check up on them once in a while to track my progress and make necessary changes. does anyone else do the same? if so, when was the last time you made a revision? how has writing your goals down been beneficial to as opposed to just tucking them away in your mind?

in case you're wondering what this has to do with R&S, refer to ezekiel 43:11b. my question has to do with the practical application i've gotten out of reading that particular passage.

I dont care if i look black,blue or burgandy, But why do I have to look like a PLAIN OLE BLACK GIRL. WHY CANT I JUST LOOK LIKE A BLACK GIRL?? She did not have to call me a plain ole black girl!!!
