I bet you boys hadn't even thought of that little detail. I have been collecting flags for years. I have some that are figments of mad artists imagination that would confuse all the other ships, even the other Pirates. I hear there are Pirates getting a jump on us in home repairs. They may be setting sail any day.

For instance if a child were raised by wolves, like mogli in Kipling’s jungle book, do you think they would they naturally have some concept of God or not?

I am compiling a list of questions I hope to get answered from various faiths. I would like to send these questions to a representative of each faith who is very knowledgeable in their doctrine so I can get accurate answers. Thank you for your help.

I want to know how can u guys define sinning against the spirit. If somebody says that Jesus Christ is not God,has he committed sinning against the spirit?
How can u avoid sinning in our mind.It is easier to control our actions not to sin than ur mind.Even if u r thinking or planning about doing that sin in our mind,but a lot of times there will be stuff popping up in our mind ,just beacause our human brain is functioning, but sometimes these stuff can be sins.....

Granted it may be just to CRITICISE what we have to say, but still. If you want nothing to do with Christianity, then why do you read the "Religion and Spirituality" section of answers?

I read the Quran[Koran. It requires separation of
the sexes, restricts women's actions, limits
the use of the right and left hand,
demands praying x times a day, demands one
wears specific clothes, and keeps on demanding.

IT also states literally, that all those who
don't believe in it must be eliminated as infidels.

I see no relationship between love-and
tolerance and equality and the teachings
of the Quran.

I have asked this of hundreds of people and
they all tell me I have misunderstood their
book. When I point out specific entries, they
say "We do not interpret it as you do."

or "Mohammad is always right so that we must
treat infidels, women and whatnot as the
Koran says too."

This is very confusing.

Either the book says to kill infidels or it does not.

Either it directs the use of each hand or it does not.

Either it restricts women's freedoms or it does not.

IF it in fact, does restrict and limit, etc.,
is that fair [for women or men]?

I have heard that american girls have no moral values. Is this true? They can easily be used and taken advantage of...Is this true?Perhaps that is just a stereotype but I hope not.

When I have a doctor's appointment I have to wait in the big public waiting room for between 1.5 to 3.5 hours to get in for my appointment (an appointment that lasts maybe 5-10 minutes if I'm lucky). Once I get put in the private little exam room I have to wait 20 minutes to 1 hour for the doctor to see me. The receptionists & doctor never say they're behind schedule when I ask & never apologize. I've changed doctor's four times in the last five years & they're all the same.
One friend said I should wait in the big waiting room no longer than 1/2 the time my time with the doctor will last but that'd only be 2.5-5 min. Another friend said good manners means I should wait 20 minutes & no longer.
I'm tired of having to lose half a day's pay (no weekend appointments available & walk-in clinics make me wait up to 5 hours) just to get a presciption or something.
How long should I wait? If a hairdresser or bank made you wait 3 hours, you'd leave, right?

I just posted a post that said, why do christians believe in a god that needs blood to make it all okay?
Why do Christians believe in a god that was pleased with blood offerings in the old testiament?
Why do christians believe in a god that will burn people forever?
Why do christians believe a perfect god would only come up with a plan of incest to populate the world.

They all said this is not our God, God is perfect and that is not the god of the bible!

Shocking....that christians don't read their bible....the god in both the new and old testaments is a god of sickness,...read your bible christians!!!
