If Christians use their personal experiences/revelation as evidence for their god, why can't Hindus/ Muslims/ Pagans/ Jews/ Mormons use their own personal experiences as evidences of their gods? Heck, why can't skeptics or non-theist use the lack of that personal experience to justify the non-existing of a certain god.

And while you’re at it, include a method by which to separate the con-men from the truly chosen, please.

Since much is said about women in Islam, what about the men? It's time to take a look at what they should be doing in order to have ANYTHING over any woman. Before they can expect their wives to respect them, they must show that they are deserving of respect. What do you think of this?

"Much ink has been spilled, and much breath, in defining the role of Muslim women; the rights of Muslim women; the duties of Muslim women, what constitutes an ideal Muslim wife. Maybe because there has so much misunderstanding of the role of women, we seem to give it special emphasis in lectures and books. However since men and women are interdependent, it is not wise to concentrate on one and remain silent about the other.

The last time I was invited to speak about "The ideal Muslim Wife", I made a promise that my next assignment would be to prepare a lecture on " The ideal Muslim Husband".

I don't know of any good reason. NONE. Give me one decent reason why anyone, including a deity, would care about someone elses personal life. It doesn't hurt anyone. Most gays keep to themselves, and don't bother people. Their relationships are based on love, the same as my relationship with my lady. Every species of higher life on this planet has a gay or bisexual population. It is totally natural, even if it is a minority. So what is the problem?

John 6:36
Jesus said to them, I am the bread of Life, he who comes to Me shall by no means hunger and he who believes into me shall by no means thirst."

John 7:38
He who believes into Me, as the Scripture said, out of his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water.

Jeremiah 15:16
Your words were found and I ate them, And Your word became to me The gladness and joy of my heart, for I am called by Your Name, O Jehovah, God of hosts"
wow


How do we take Christ as the Bread of Life and the Living water.
We eat and drink with our mouths but what part of our being do we substantiate and lay hold of Christ as the Word of Life.. as the Living water.. as the Bread of Life.
We are a tripartite being.. made up of spirit soul and body. Share of how you partake of the Lord as your daily nourishment and supply each and every day in order to grow and go on in the Christian life?

I'm saying that in light of the fact that a lot of people don't have legitimate access to the institution of marriage. For example, you may be single but extremely undesirable because of appearance, prior relationships with which you've had children, finances, and other things. It's possible that you may desire to get married but cannot. However you have to abstain and constantly fight with your bodily urges. I have difficulty with this one, so any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Current U.S. Senator states "The two questions that the congress will not ask . . . is why did 9/11 happen on George Bush's watch when he had clear warnings that it was going to happen? Why did they allow it to happen?"
Current Republican Congressman states that "we see the [9/11] investigations that have been done so far as more or less cover-up and no real explanation of what went on"
Current Democratic Congressman hints that we aren't being told the truth about 9/11
Former U.S. Republican Congressman and senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, and who served six years as the Chairman of the Military Research and Development Subcommittee, has shown that the U.S. tracked hijackers before 9/11, is open to hearing information about explosives in the Twin Towers, and is open to the possibility that 9/11 was an inside job
Former Democratic Senator states that he supports a new 9/11 investigation and that we don't know the truth about 9/11
Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense under President Ronald Reagan said that the official story of 9/11 is "the dog that doesn't hunt" (if you suspect he is a closet liberal, take a look at his bio)
Former director of the U.S. "Star Wars" space defense program in both Republican and Democratic administrations, who was a senior air force colonel who flew 101 combat missions, and who is a Catholic Archbishop stated that 9/11 was an inside job (he also said "If our government had merely done nothing, and allowed normal procedures to happen on that morning of 9/11, the twin towers would still be standing, and thousands of dead Americans would still be alive. [T]hat is treason")
Former U.S. Army Air Defense Officer and NORAD Tac Director, decorated with the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star and the Soldiers Medal stated that "there is no way that an aircraft . . . would not be intercepted when they deviate from their flight plan, turn off their transponders, or stop communication with Air Traffic Control ... Attempts to obscure facts by calling them a 'conspiracy Theory' does not change the truth. It seems, 'Something is rotten in the State.'"
Former 20-year Marine Corps infantry and intelligence officer, the second-ranking civilian in U.S. Marine Corps Intelligence, and former CIA clandestine services case officer stated that "9/11 was at a minimum allowed to happen as a pretext for war", and it was probably an inside job (see Customer Review dated October 7, 2006).
Former high-ranking Reagan official and very influential conservative doubts the official story about 9/11
Former Two-Star general questions the attack on the Pentagon
Former Air Force Colonel and key Pentagon official finds various aspects of 9/11 suspicious
Former President of the U.S. Air Force Accident Investigation Board, who also served as Pentagon Weapons Requirement Officer and as a member of the Pentagon's Quadrennial Defense Review, and who was awarded Distinguish Flying Crosses for Heroism, four Air Medals, four Meritorious Service Medals, and nine Aerial Achievement Medals, is a member of a group which doubts the government's version of 9/11
Current U.S. Congresswoman, former senior CIA analyst, former Deputy Secretary for Intelligence and Warning under Nixon, Ford, and Carter, former US Ambassador and Chief of Mission to Iraq, former Deputy Director to the White House Task Force on Terrorism, and former US Department of State Foreign Service Officer (as well as a who's who of liberals and independents) jointly call for a new investigation into 9/11
Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg said that some of the claims concerning government involvement in 9/11 are credible, that "very serious questions have been raised about what they [U.S. government officials] knew beforehand and how much involvement there might have been", that engineering 9/11 would not be humanly or psychologically beyond the scope of the current administration, and that there's enough evidence to justify a new, "hard-hitting" investigation into 9/11 with subpoenas and testimony taken under oath

Former FBI translator, who the Department of Justice's Inspector General and several senators have called extremely credible (free subscription required), said "If they were to do real investigations we would see several significant high level criminal prosecutions in this country. And that is something that they are not going to let out. And, believe me; they will do everything to cover this up". She also is leaning towards the conclusion that 9/11 was an inside job
A 28-year career CIA official says 9/11 was an inside job
A retired 27-year CIA analyst who prepared and presented Presidential Daily Briefs and served as a high-level analyst for several presidents stated that there are indications that Cheney ordered a stand down of the military on 9/11
Former FBI agent says "The FBI, rather than trying to prevent a terrorist attack, was merely gathering intelligence so they would know who to arrest when a terrorist attack occurred."
Former air traffic controller, who knows the flight corridor which the two planes which hit the Twin Towers flew "like the back of my hand" and who handled two actual hijackings says that 9/11 could not have occurred as the government says, and that planes can be tracked on radar even when their transponders are turned off (also, listen to this interview)
Former 6-year Inspector General, U.S. Department of Transportation and former Professor of Aviation, Dept. of Aerospace Engineering and Aviation says "the [9/11] commission is clearly not talking to everybody or not telling us everything .... Huge discrepancies persist in basic facts .... when we heard the carriers and governments alike saying, “Oh, no one could have foreseen this. No one knew that this was coming. No one knew that there was any risk like this in the world,” is absolutely false....
The Group Director on matters of national security in the U.S. Government Accountability Office said that President Bush did not respond to unprecedented warnings of the 9/11 disaster and conducted a massive cover-up instead of accepting responsibility
Former ambassador to Iraq is not satisfied with the official story
Numerous high-level legal scholars question the official version of 9/11. As do numerous military leaders.
And many officials from allied governments have also questioned 9/11:
Statement by former President of Italy
Statements by former German Defense Minister and current member of British Parliament
Statement by former Canadian Minister of Defense

Statements of two former MI5 (British intelligence) agents (19 minutes into video)

Statement of a high-ranking general and the former chief of NATO regarding bombs in the Twin Towers (in Danish)

Statement by the commander-in-chief of the Russian Air Force; and see also statement of former chief of staff of the Russian armed forces
