I'm not good at talking like a pirate :( Will the FSM (PBUH) smite me, and cast me out of His sight?

To make a long story short, I inherited money 8 years ago from my father, I wasn't expecting it and how much either. Since that time my relationships have greatly changed, nearly all of my friends, family have at some point asked me for loans, gifts and just fun money. I couldn't believe some that have...even people at church including my "former" pastor. I did quit my job after this, I just wanted to persue the things I liked, I wasn't rich before this I made around 80k. I make many times this on interest alone and wanted to do things that I liked. You never know whos real, I feel like I'm in a fish bowl of amusement...I'm always shocked when people ask me "How much do you have" I always ask them how much is in their checking account? I bought a house in Maui last year...it's the only place I go that I'm not asked for money, all my neighbors are rich and don't care. I do give, friends, family & charity, several million per year...but it's really not what most think.


wisdom anyone

surely my race should make no difference to whether i am suitable for a job, so why even put it on a job application form?

Will they be laughing at us?
How sadistic would you have to be to worship a version of deity (yes, christians only your religion and Islam believe in eternal TORTURE ) that tortures people for an eternity?
Is that what youwould do to your kids when they disobey you, set the house on fire,torture them for an eternity, hoping they will love back?
Is this your idea of LOVE?

...journey inward to explore the Self and the complete unity of identity with mystery... digging deeper with the impetus of curiosity?

If not, why? To better know the whole, you must examine its parts, right?

In your little black book it says.
Genesis Chapter 4 Verse 15

If thou shall not kill, then why is this said by the lord?

And the lord said unto him, Therefore
whosoever slayeth Cain,vengence shall
be taken on him sevenfold. And the lord set
a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should
kill him.

Does anyone see that this is a contradiction or what?
Why is it no you can't see these contradictions?
As I have said before I mean this with respect, I'm not passing judgement.

I'm not built like a fighter, I'm 5'5'' 140lbs... but I'm extremely athletic and fit with a six pack. I know my physical limitations and most people would probably win if they were to fight me, Anyways, would it make me a coward if say a guy, I don't care if he's smaller then me or bigger tried to fight me, and I just kinda ignore/don't acknowledge that person and just go smoke or listen to music. Now if he were to push me, I would just brush it off. If he was screaming or yelling, I'll just ignore him, and let him release his anger. The only way I'll throw a punch is if my life was in danger or if he's throwing it first. I'm not that big or strong, so all I have is my brain so I'll use that more often then my fist.

Would it make me a coward if I walked away from a fight?

Examples: Afraid of the wind.

I told myself,

1. That was a car, it just sounded like the wind.

I tricked my mind by,

2. turning on the fan, on high to block out the sound.

I did not want to except what I did not want to except, nor did I want to hear what I did not want to hear.

So I remained afraid of the wind. I could not control the wind, but I could control how I dealt with it.

Until one night, I decided no more. I went out to confront my fear. I stood in the wind, and felt its sting as it blow at me, I heard its truth as it spoke to me. It took out the old air and it brought in fresh understanding.

I faced my fear, and heard the truth. I am no longer afraid of the wind.

Please no radical answers from people who just want to say Islam is a bad religion. I want an honest answer. If there are mentions of stuff like that, I would like the chapter and verses. I have read parts of the Koran and never read anything like that. The reason I ask this question is because Bill Maher said it does say it in there. If it does say kill infidels, in what context does it talk about it?
