I am looking forward to it sooooooo much. Christians please keep your faith. I have a big mass in my lower abdomin which is the reason it is causing my lower back to ache, and cramps sometimes in my stomache. I will not have to go through anymore pain phsiclly or mentally anymore when I go home. God bless you, and hope to see you in Heaven

This is a serious question, even though by the title it may not seem as if so.
I am a Muslim, and I have a problem doing something which I know is forbidden for me to do. Masturbation is my problem. Now I really don't give a rats hair how much people enjoy doing it, or how "healthy" it really is. I do not care where you do it, how you do it, why you do it, or why you think I should do it. It's against my religion and thats enough for me to decide to stop, so it isn't "perfectly normal" for me anyways. Notice I'm a human alien and what not. By the way, just tell me what I can do to stop?!
I am always making excuses and saying oh it isn't forbidden, when deep down in my heart I know it is forbidden and thats theres no excuse for me to do it, when the Prophet Saaws told us not to! Please help me out to stop. I sincerely need a Muslims answer.
Thanks and Peace. Salam.

Ergo, how is "trolling" even possible in R&S specifically -- in a completely HYPOTHETICAL category??????

2007-08-24 18:40:27 · 26 answers · asked by Tragic Tapas 2 in Religion & Spirituality

Since R&S is apparently for Religious people's posts only, that must mean the 'Cats' section is for cats' posts only. But unfortunately, all these pesky humans are posting there.

Maybe these sections describe the TOPIC of the questions, not a description of the askers.

So, atheists, with their differing views on religion, should have no trouble posting in this section. However, they are challenged multiple times a day for simply having a differing opinion on the topic being discussed.

Comments? Thoughts? Rebuttals?

serious question.

I personally didn't lose my virginity until really late, like 22, and felt really miserable/depressed through my teen years for being so sexless, while all my friends were getting it regularly.

Now my only son is 15, he knows about sex, and I'm sure he wants it as much as I did at his age. Would it be wrong for me to try to give him suggestions on how to pick up women. I'm not religous so I don't do the whole "save it till' marriage" crap.

I mean teach him practical things. How to suggest drinking to girls, how to mix drinks so they will get chicks drunk, which women to go after, safe sex practices, leting him have women alone in the house, supplying him with porn to study, lying to women ("I love you", etc.). Just you know, the basic strategy he'll need. I also have some books on picking up women I can read him as bedtime stories.....you get the point.

Would this make me a bad father? Or simply be something he'll thank me for when he is older?

Thanks

I have been going through times of testing and I know we all do.
My problem is that I tend to focus on the needs I have now and worry and stress over them when everytime in the past God has ALWAYS been faithful to provide.
What are godly ways to not fret so much and what are realistic godly ways to just be in the now?
Is it normal to feel anxoius at times even though I love the Lord?

Are the other 20% so crazy rich that they can spend $13B on porn, or do a lot of Christians dig porn? And spend a ton of money on it?

I am a firm believer in only one True God, and I find peace in Him. But I have also started to study meditation and Feng Shui, and even though these are not changing my views on my faith, is it wrong to participate in this stuff? I find that meditation and Feng Shui help me stay relaxed and peaceful

How much should I charge for them?
They should be fairly easy to make. Just need bread, a stencil and a blow torch.
Should I expand and do other faces? Paris Hilton? Larry King? Mohammad?

The Gospel Jesus preached is called the "Kingdom Gospel," so people do recognize that there is a difference between these two Gospels.

But why did the Original Kingdom Gospel come in second place with respect to that honored title of the "Gospel of Jesus Christ?"

For those of you who believe in saints what that entails is that when a person dies who everyone thinks will become a saint... their body supposedly does not decompose and rot like everyone else. Supposedly their body has different characteristics and the way i understand the procedure is that when someone dies like mother teresa they wait a while and then dig up the body to see if it passes the test. the trouble is as with all religious beliefs that there are no witnesses around to verify the results of this

Since Joseph was not his biological father and God was, must we consider God is Jewish or Jesus was not?

Hey guys, I know this is in the wrong category, but we are the only ones alive at night so here goes. My question is. Why is the Mexican government so quiet in this huge problem, but also why isnt the US government holding the Mexican government to task? They seem perfectIy happy letting the US taxpayers support their people who are escaping a government who barely provides clean running water to alot of Mexican communities. Do we trade something huge with Mexico, like air? Why arent they talking? I did hear tonight that finally the mexican government is talking and its grumbling because the feds want state policing agencies to start deporting illegal criminals back to Mexico. Im not really knowledgeable about the politics in Mexico, but can any shed some light on how they are so quiet and the US government has no problem with this?

I have one life. Should I stay with one person for the whole time? Should I say "Oh, I love you, and that's it"? Is it wrong to want to change course every now and again?
Christians, you guys get divorced and re-married. So is it some horrible sin to think your life is just , well, maybe, not what you wanted , so it is time to make a change?
