God lived in er...Khulala(since heaven wasn't created yet) with His dear angels. One day Lucifer saw that God's golden chair imbedded with diamonds looked way too tempting so he thought of something EVIL! So he gathered some angels to his room and said:

L: I declare myself as God! You will all join me and dethrone that old retarded man! Come now!

Lucifer and his angels approached God with their magical staffs.

G: What are you trying to do?!
L: Surrender old man! For I have come to personally FIRE your azz!
G: How dare you!!!???

God and Satan now started to cast their most potent spells agains each other!
L: "Avada Kadavra"
G: "Expelliarmus"
L: "Finite Incantatum"
G: "Morsmorde"

After days of relentless struggling between them...Satan offers his fatal blow

L: "Crucio !"

I was just wondering...[do not ask for my age please] cuz I am REALLY tomboyish, and I've been hearing/reading stuff that said older females being a tomboy or having a masculine image are often 'repressed or punished'...but I don't want to develop into a girly girl or something either...

Many self proclaimed "satanists" I've talked to know nothing about satanism. They come from religious backgrounds and speak about how much they hate God, but they proclaim to worship a little guy with horns that lives in a Looney-Tunes esq. hell.

The main reason they give for hating God is because some christians push their beliefs on people(which can be applied to any religion, but for some reason christianity is targeted). To me, it isn't God that does that, it's a sanction his followers. So why don't they say "I'm anti-christian or I'm anti-religion?"

what if you are a "40 year old virgin" who is flamboyant? doesnt that make you a homosexual?

Ganeshotsava this year is from the 15th of september to the 25th. How are you planning to celebrate it and what kind of preparations are you doing?

first off, let me just say that i don't have any religious affiliation. i don't have a problem with people of faith unless they try to force their beliefs on others. i believe that most religions teach good values such as forgiveness, unconditional love (even for your enemies), and being generous. please don't try to convert me and i won't try to change your mind about your faith. thanks.

(for a second here, i'll just assume that there is a god.)

here it is:

if god is really all knowing, what would be the point of living? i might be wrong but i thought life on earth was supposedly a test, of sorts. you know, to see if we deserve to go to heaven. if god is omnescient, he should know whether we'll end up going to heaven or hell before we're even born. i just can't seem to wrap my mind around this. :) if anyone could give me some insight or something, i'd really appreciate it.

thanks.

...in other words.. do you think it is possible to believe in Jesus, but not to believe in the Bible, (not 100%) anyways.... and to believe in Jesus, while remaining non-relgious?

Hi...Im a catholic and was dating a muslim guy for over a year. In the beginning of our relationship he stated that he couldnt touch/hug/kiss me unless he did the "mutah" (temporary marriage) He stated that he would be very uncomfortable if he touched me in any way without being married to me in some way, and like a fool i agreed to it. Now that we have broken up due to religious differences and our families not accepting of us =( I feel really guilty that I let him talk me into doing it. I feel as if I put a curse on myself (i cant explain it but thats how I feel) I know he didnt do it for sexual reasons because its haram, I wouldnt allow it and its forbidden in my religion/culture, but I still feel used! He also stated that he had done it with his ex girlfriend whom he dated for 4 years, she was not arabic so I'm assuming he did it for sexual reasons, which really bothers me :- / ...My question is: Do I have a right to be feeling the way im feeling, and is the mutah a sin?

Don't do another denomination either, do a completely different religion.

Everything made so much sense. This is the beauty of the Qur'an; it asks you to reflect and reason... When I read the Qur'an further, it talked about prayer, kindness and charity. I was not a Muslim yet, but I felt the only answer for me was the Qur'an and Allah had sent it to me. (Yusuf Islam [Cat Stevens], former British pop star)
----------------------
The strength of the Koran is that a Muslim, or anyone, can open it to any page and get a message dealing with life's meaning. (The well-known theologian John Esposito)
----------------------
The British Prime Minister Tony Blair says that he has read the whole Qur'an three times. In his statements, he often mentioned his admiration for the Qur'an's moral teaching. On March 29, 2000, the BBC reported on Blair's admiration for the Qur'an in a feature entitled "Blair: Qur'an Inspired Me." He was reported to have said that Islam was a good and peaceful religion, that he owned two copies of the Qur'an, and that he was quite inspired by it:

If you read the Koran, it is so clear… the concept of love and fellowship as the guiding spirits of humanity.
----------------------
Have you read the Quran?

My ex-husband's new wife comes from a strongly religious family and I would like to try and identify the faith, as my daughter is exposed to it when she spends time with them.

They don't believe in celebating Christmas or birthdays.
They follow a variation of a Kosher diet.
They do not believe in evolution.
Consider themselves Christians.
Don't believe in divorse (don't know how my ex got acepted).
Women working outside home tolerated - just.

Apparently I am a Jezebel for maintaining a civil friendship with my ex, while hisnew wife is ok although having an affair with him while we were still married.


Apparently NOT Jehovah's Witness (my first guess)


Any suggestions????
