God said that NO human being can predict such things.

What do you think?

I hate it when I'm at work and people (usually older people, fifty and above) grab you to get your attention. I dont mind being touched on a shoulder or something, but when people grab your upper arm and cling to you, digging their nails in its extreamly threatening (especially as I am polite and hate to cause confontations), especially when they wont let go!

A great American once said :

Animals were no more made for humans than black people were made for whites, or women for men

Today this quote is used frequently everywhere in the world concerning Animal Rights - but my question is why is black people potrayed in such a way

Mainly this would be when you are not going out to dinner. That seems to wet the whistle a bit.

Do you have problems trying to figure out what to prepare?

In Isaiah 45:7 it was written "I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create evil, I the Lord do all these things."
The hebrew ra' refers to 'evil', some newer versions translated it as 'calamity', but in Isaiah 7:16 it says "For before the child shall know to refuse the evil and choose the good...", here, ra' was again used and all translations agreed that it means evil.

Many religious people argue that we need religion for our morals, but is religion the only source of morality?

I am a Muslim. Is it our fault that some of us are not letting the world live in peace ? Islam doesn't promote violence and terrorism so how can you say it is the most violent religion ? Think about it. Don't just say what you are told to think. Use your brains and your hearts and tell me is it really Islam that is responsible for everything awful going on in this world? aren't there other religions involved ? if there are, why is only Islam told to be the most hatefilled religion spreading violence , causing terror? what do you have against us? we have a heart just like you do, we like to live in peace and with love just like you do, we like to make people happy just like you do. So how do we become the most violent religion? Why don't you understand that a group of violent brainwashed people cannot and DOES NOT represent the whole of ISLAM?

There are male religious leaders all over the world who use their position of power to commit the most horrendous sexual acts on innocent little boys. They also promote homophobic hatred (as suggested in the bible) and encourage barbaric ideas towards child birth and do everything they can not to give women equal rights. Since these men are parading directly under 'Gods' banner, surely he would intervene, considering he is all knowing and all powerful? Not to do so raises some very awkward and uncomfortable questions for you religious people doesn't it? Perhaps to rid the world of religion would be to free humanity?

There's this line in Ocean's 13 where Casey Affleck said "danger is my middle name" in mexican. I think it started with peligro es mi... or something like that.

Would we have the ability to fly from heaven and to the new Earth-2?
And PERHAPS OTHER PLANETS that have life, we not know about yet.
Everything on these planets would be very Beautiful, and new life would be grand and full of joy and love. And it's all because God loves us and wants a huge family to where we all get along:)

In the bible it says that homosexuality is an abomination to God, therefore Christians conclude that homosexuality must be choice. Funny enough, is it written in the bible that homosexuality is a choice? I don’t think so. So you’re making your own conclusions. But of course, if God created gays Himself and then turned around to condemn them, it would be quite hard for Christians to accept.

We first have to define homosexuality. Homosexuality is the sexual attraction towards the same sex. It’s not like you have to have had sex in order to become a homosexual like Christians believe. Did you become a heterosexual only after you had sex with the opposite sex? Is Mother Teresa and Virgin Mary non-sexual beings because they never had sex?

Now the next question is, did you choose to be heterosexual? Is heterosexuality a life style?

Homosexuality is also found in animals, so are you saying that rodents consciously make the choice to live a homosexual lifestyle?

We all know that Islam is a peaceful and open religion....so can I expect some Govt assistance to open a Christian Church in Saudi Arabia, the same way as it is conferred upon Moslems in Western countries.....
