Do you know what I mean? If this forum was dropped into a existing but unpopulated community, and had to function as a community - who would do what jobs?

Thanks to 'The Cynic' for the inspiration.

Is doing Magic Tricks like David Blaine or Chris Angel(I know what your thinking, those are just magic tricks, I know how they did it!!! a $50 dollar book/dvd will show you how to do that check www.ellusionist.com) ok so is doing magic tricks a sin??? I use it to entertain people and neither of us believes it is from the devil, well is it??? They are just stuff to entertain people just like how "transformers" used CGI to fool the eye and make the cars look like they transform into robots, is it a sin or not???

He told me that I make men this way?How can I stop men from acting this way with me.My ex husband was the same
Should I be careful? I met this guy online in June.We have been dating eachother ever since.Lately he has?
began telling me that he wants me to move to his city. We live only 30 min away from each other.I dont have my own apartment because I have to help my grandmother,she wants me here.He has been looking for apartments in his city for me.The rent is really high where he lives.Why does he want me to just pick up and move there to be with him.The only help that he has offered is to rent a car and help move my belongings from here to there.He said that I am always coming to his place and he doesnt want to come to mine because it is too far.Could he be abusive?
Is this a warning?
Should I be carefull?
Does this mean that he wants to get married?Should I be carefull?
I'm torn. I have been dating this man for about two months now.Lately he has been telling me that he wants me to go to Arizona in November to meet his family,friends,everyone.H... and I live here in California and he wants to move to New York with him next year.He asked me last weekend if I can have children.I'm a little hesitant because he has a really BADDD temper.He got mad at me and punched the wall.We went on an outing to the park. I told him that I needed to go to the bathroom.When I got back from the bathroom he showed me his camera.He had followed me and took pictures of me as I went to the bathroom aal the way until I went inside.I remember stopping to talk to a lady about her dog,he took pictures of that too.Am I jumping to conclusions or should I be careful

when they did die and faced God they would still talk themselves into believing they must be in a coma and dreaming or caught in some sort of twilight zone spending too much time on this site. Do you agree? I am a spiritual person and I can entertain the thought that just maybe there is no God, although I know different.

Does it surprise you that this is one of many sites and organizations that are completely ignored when it comes to any media? Why do you think that is? We do speak out, but we're ignored. What do you think of the following?

"To help the governments and the media organizations of the Western World in order to understand Islam and Muslims beliefs, Muslims Against Terrorism (MAT) has been established with the following objectives.

To create awareness that Islam requires from its followers to be peaceful and sincere with the all humans.
To educate Muslims and non-Muslims that Islam has no place for terrorism and racism.
To educate Muslims and non-Muslims what Jihad is? And it's various aspects.
To create awareness about the teachings of Qur'an and the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) regarding the roles and responsibilities of an individual, a government and a group of Muslims in Muslim and non-Muslim countries.

I got this idea because in the word excommunication is the root "common" which hints to some sharing between people or belonging to a group.
I had this YA member, an extremely obnoxious person, sending me all kinds of unpleasant words. I answered him in kind and offered some kind of challenge. He kept on vituperating but without getting to the point. As I got tired of getting nowhere, I finally blocked him. It was the first time I ever blocked anyone, but now he´s foaming at the mouth even worse than ever. Needless to say, he´s either on the fanatic side of christianism or has got an ego the size of an oil supertanker. So my Q is: Did I somehow excommunicated him? Is it an exile? Does he feel neglected now? Was he expecting some love-hate relationship? or was he only outraged?

Doesn't it imply that every non-christian is morally inferior to christians...?

If not then obviously bible is "not" source of all morals.

You can't have it either way.

So what is it christians... you consider 80% of human beings are morally inferior to you?

Is it possible? Do you think we could ever (realistically) come to terms and acknowledge that we worship God and will strive to do good?

And even if u are atheist then couldn't we share our interests in saving the environment/fighting evil factory farms and allowing for freedom of expression?

I mean, we would all have to make some compromises (not at the price of our religions of course) but just enough to where everyone is satisifed.

please answer as honestly as you can or feel free to e mail me.
I especially want to hear from athiests that were once believers. Have you always been an athiest or were you once a beliver. What happened to make you stop believing. Do you really believe there is no God or are you just very angry at him to the point that you hardened your heart towards him?
Thank you for you answer. : D
