Ok, so i really am trying to become the best muslim i can be, especially during Ramadan. So i fasted today, and wanted to go Tarawih after Iftari. And my mom was reluctant to go, i mean the only reason she goes to Iftari is so she doesn't have to cook. So I had to ask her so many times, and i also wanted to attend Sunday School, but because of sum stupid reason, she won't let me go.

Im going to try my hardest to pray 5 times a day, but being a muslim, it is good to have attend the masjid regularly, and that is exactly what my parents are stopping me to do. I get so sad, because i don't have any friends, and i really want to build a strong relationship with my masjid. i don't know what to do. I do dua at night that Allah (swt) will put my parents on the straight path.. but it never seems to happen

My parents are in the way of me becoming a good muslim.. what shud i do?

Things like shopping alone, eating alone, etc. I'm 16 and male and I've noticed that when you're alone and walk into shops browsing some people give you strange looks because of the fact you're alone; this becomes much more pronounced when you're in food places. Even in places like Subway, if you walk in alone and sit down alone, people stare at you like "wtf?". Eating alone seems to be totally unacceptable for some reason. People don't seem to get it.

I used to be really paranoid about what people thought of me for being alone, but I don't give a toss anymore. I don't need to be with a huge group of people to feel complete.

Could it be because you're simply turning things into demons when there's actually a more rational explanation?

Christianity pretty much has a chokehold on this country and has been, effectively, deciding policy since Jerry Falwell's rise. But in spite of Christians' claims that their religion and Jesus are the answer to all problems, people are suffering. We are at war - both militarily and ideologically, and poverty is increasing. Families are losing their homes. Christians themselves complain often about the lack of morality that they're sure exists and is worsening, according to them. If Christianity is the great panacea that its followers claim it to be, why is this country in such bad shape?

How to explain this paradox? Is Christianity good or bad?

on another question I said just Christians, but if there is anyone out there that wants prayer for something please let me know. I would like to help you or whoever it is through prayer. I had said just Christians 'cause I know sometimes non-Christians don't give serious answers. Please, no matter who you are, give me a SERIOUS answer as to what you want prayer for. You can look my other question up for MY prayer requests:

"Dear Christians...I only want you answering...don't answer if you aren't a Christian!!!!!?"

Jeremiah 14:22
Are there any among the false gods of the nations that can bring rain?Or can the heavens give showers?Are you not he, O LORD our God?We set our hope on you, for you do all these things.

Nope- nothing, there is no breath in them as the Bible says. Only God can act- and only God can answer. Only God is GOD! He is alive forevermore and holds our breath in His hands! Hallelujah!

I know they have the right to do so but why. In class some girls dress almost naked. I just want to know why? If it were at the beach i'd understand. I'd also want to know why some even show off their g-strings/panties by putting on low cut pants, "whale tail"?

And they just talk about the Bible, and they dont mention the book of mormon. Then when they send the missionarys to your home they tell you how the Bible is incorrect and the book of mormon is the truth. And you have to be a mormon to go to heaven. And you have to accept that the book of mormon is true or you wont go to heaven. Do you think they are lieing to you so they can suck you into their cult. Its funny how they, and the Jw's have to use the Bible to suck you in. What do they have with no Bible?

It was a busy day in the Rome metro station. Behind me, my sisters and father were studying a map. I didn't pay much attention. I assumed, I suppose, that they were plotting out where we would go from our next stop. Then, with a whoooosh of wind, the train pulled to a stop to admit passengers. Certain my family was following behind me, I hurried aboard.
The train took off with a lurch as an old, weathered italian man grinned wolfishly at me. I shuddered, scanning the crowd for my family. They weren't there! Stumbling as the train swayed on its underground tracks, I went up and down the long length of the train. (The length of a small street!) They were not aboard! Suddenly nervous and terrified, I studied the signs above my head. The next stop was Villa Augustine, and I would have to get off here, as obviously I could not remain on the metro. I stepped off amongst the sweaty, loud crowd onto the platform, completely alone, only fourteen, and frightened.
For a while, I wandered around

In my driveway I have a Hummer, Ford Bronco, Chevy Suburban, and a Land Rover Discovery.

All my friends and relatives drive SUVs and trucks that get less than 10 miles per gallon.

I live in a house built in 1930 that is very leaky around the windows and doors. No solar or wind power. I run the A/C and heater constantly even if I'm not at home.

Also when I brush my teeth I have the sink running at full blast the whole time even though I'm not using it.

But the fact of the matter is we have money. I have money. I don't need to conserve. I can afford my utility bills. So why should I care?

Also, I doubt that I'm polluting more than the Average American. Remember that many Americans fly on jumbo jets which are the largest polluters.

Agreed?

I've invited 11 people and guest asking for RSVP to a cool bar in NYC and I'm unsure if a party gift would be appropriate or just weird. The party is for no other reason then to invite a bunch of newer friends to have a social and check out a new place.

Came out ftm a week ago to my mom. I thought-- geeze, she's seen this coming, she asked me some time ago if I was trans and at that time I said no, b/c I wasn't ready to tell her. so I figure she's asking, so I'll tell her, so I tell her and she proceeds to call me names, tell me that I'm immoral, tells me that I am bad for my kid, and that if I did transition she'd love me, but not be able to have a relationship with me. She also stated that I have lied to her my whole life b/c she's just finding this out now. She also suggested that someone must have talked me into being trans. I felt like I was beat down by some biggot and was totally traumatized by this. I have since backed down and now feel that maybe I'm a nutjob and would be bad if I did anything so I decided, maybe I don't have to transition and could find some middle ground, but that's not good enough and now I'm REALLY stuck b/c my mom is back to her "normal" with me b/c she thinks I won't transition, but i think I NEED to.

I am prejudiced against ignorance.
