To save you personally from an eternity of pain and suffering? Of all the religious belief's there are, I'm curious to know which ones offer a picture or ideal of an almighty God that loves you enough to humble themselves and to be willing to die for you and take your punishment as their own so that you can live together forever?

I know that Pakistan used to be a European-Asian country and was mainly a White people country, and I know that they are not like Indians except the ones who are poor, they look Indian. But for real, I can never tell apart a White or Pakistani all the time, the only Pakistanis I can tell apart from Whites are the poor ones, who are brown skinned; I'm not saying brown skin colored Pakistanis are poor at all times, but the brown color for Pakistanis came from their poor ancestors, the rest of Pakistanis are Caucasian.

I'm Christian, but I'm slightly confused. The Bible says we will see Jesus's scars and wounds from the cross. It also says his body will be perfect. I just don't understand. Can someone please help?

Think about it.
You go about everyday doing the little things that are so important to you but why?
What difference or impact does your actions have in the great scheme of things.
Are you really that important?

Today, I was at the grocery store, not the Fry's I usually shop at, but the Albertson's in Sun City. I went about gathering my items, the usual, steaks and vodka, and when I got to the checkout line, I was doing my usual thing , reading about whether Brad and Angelina have adopted any more kids, or whether Oprah's amazing weight loss is attributable to Alien Abductions, when I noticed that the silicone enhanced young lady in front of me in line was wearing this top that was a VERY loose mesh, thereby exposing two of my favourite subjects as though there were no top at all in place. Me, being me, could not help but continually direct my gaze in the direction of her ample graces, and as she started putting her fruits and vegetables on the counter, she looked at me and said "can I help you?" in a somewhat snippy tone, and all I could think of to say was " those are some very nice tomatoes you have there." Now , I know, that if there was a God, he would have let me done better than that.

A 22 year old gang member was shot and killed in my hometown: suburban Oak Park, just a few blocks from Austin Ave, the dividing line between the middle to upper class suburb with a white demographic of almost 60%, in which i live, and the gang-infested, impoverished inner-city Austin neighborhood of Chicago, with a white demographic of approximately 4%. When this happened, the local news stations were all over it. Tomorrow it will be on the front page of the Chicago Tribune. But just days before that happened, two kids who went to my high school, OPRF (Oak Park River Forest), were shot, and one of them nearly died, just a few blocks east of the dividing line. The only place in the news this story appeared in was the back corner of our community newspaper (Wednesday Journal). My question is, how is it okay for a news corporation to pay more attention to certain crimes just because they occur in less diverse neighborhoods? Shouldn't the front page focus on Austin's struggle...

Centuries ago, during the colonial expansion, the Catholic Church sent its missionaries to convert tribes all over the world to Christianity. However, some of those missionaries also acted as anthropologists - they studied the tribes and their native religious beliefs. Why would the Catholics do that? What was in it for them?..

Does this scare you that a president would say something so dumb?

God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them.

God told him to? Hmm, another how many people killed in the name of god because someone said god told them to.

RELIGION IS SUCH A CRUTCH!!

Why does it seem like every country is airing the condemnations of terrorism by Muslims except for the US? Saudi Arabia is, France is, Pakistan is, but the US hasn't aired a single thing? Some of the condemnations are immediately after the 9-11 attacks, but our media hasn't aired it. What's up?

"Shaykh Muhammad bin ‘Abdallah al-Sabil, member of the Council of Senior Religious Scholars, Saudi Arabia:
“Any attack on innocent people is unlawful and contrary to shari'a (Islamic law). ... Muslims must safeguard the lives, honor and property of Christians and Jews. Attacking them contradicts shari'a.”
Agence France Presse, December 4, 2001"
