at overweight people? Today I saw this couple they were both overweight and they were walking up to the movie theatre. Of course they were both walking slower and it took them some time to get to the entrance. I mustve saw several people slowly driving past them, looking back at them, and some of them were even pointing and laughing! These were adults!
I dont think its funny and Im not overweight. I mean, whats funny about it? weve all seen people like this before whats new?

I am a Muslim and have no intentions of converting, but I was just wondering a few thing about your religion, again I am not going to convert...
How was Jesus God's son? If god created him, wouldn't we all be his sons and daughter, and Jesus won't be the only one?
If Jesus is God, and he is the son of God, can Christianity be considered a monotheistic religion, or is Jesus the son of himself?

I was just wondering if anyone else believed this:
everything (or at least most things) has(ve) a scientific explanation but that explanation and everything pertaining to it was created by God.

But they don't jump down other people's throats about spending all their money on alcohol or cigarettes? Or, they tell me about my spending & eating habits when they smoke 2 cartons of cigs a week + more. Why can't people just mind their own business & leave me the hell alone? Why are people so intrusive in my life?

God was here before anything was. He created every living thing. Paganism was made up by man and comes from satan. Yes its been around for years and years. But its what man made up to make up false gods to worship so that why they could sin all they wanted and thinking they will be ok. False gods are nothing but lies from satan. To keep people away from the only true living God Jesus Christ. For satan hates God and satan is like a lion ready to take all the souls to hell with him. satan will lie and fool people to get there souls. he cares for no one satan only hates. Jesus loves and love comes from Jesus. Christianity has nothing to do with paganism. For paganism has everything to do with satan. Religion has nothing to do with Jesus. Religion is all made up from satan and made up of false gods. Religion is what satan fooled man with to get him away from Jesus. So you see I tell the truth from God's word and not mine. Everything I say is the truth of God's word.

What is the biblical evidence for the torments of Hell? I don't believe that Dante's vision is supported in detail by the Bible. So what is the worst, from scriptural authority?

I'm a student worker on a college campus and this guy I work with seems very interested in me. In fact, he told me that he likes. I've told him that I am not interested in him, but he tells me that he does not give up easily. I don't want to be uncomfortable at work, but all of the students work in one big lab together. How do I tell him no without making a bad situation worse for me at work? I really want him to leave me alone. I don't have a boyfriend to frighten him off, but I have tried telling him about the guy I'm talking to and pointing that guy out when he's in our lab (along with making a point of talking to that guy). I can't just ignore him, it will look strange in our small office. I don't want my boss to know about this, since I think this sort of situation would make him angry. Should I just try flat telling him all of this, or will that make him angry? He has no chance at all of ever getting a date with me, so I want to make that as clear as possible and soon.

I am 16 and an atheist. All of my neighbors are active Christians and my mom told me not to tell them about it. As if its a dirty secret!! I don't think that them being Christian is a reason to think differently about them! So why should they care what I believe? Its like being Atheist means you've committed murder or something... Does anyone else agree with me??

People at funerals are so sad. I would think that people who believe that when they die they leave their physical bodies to go live with God would want to celebrate.

People celebrate birthdays, weddings, job promotions, graduations, holidays and so on, but on the one day it really counts, the most important day of someone's life, their last day, the day they meet their maker, who shares with them all the answers to the mysteries of life, and the day they receive everlasting life and eternal bliss, people grieve for them. What are those grieving people thinking? Shouldn't they be having a party to celebrate the dead's passing over?

According to Christianity, Humans are not supposed to judge others because it is God's job. Therefore, people who practise Christianity must assume that everyone is going to Heaven. So, why isn't death a joyous occasion for people who practise Christianity?

Why do some say this? Why, if a Muslim woman is home caring for her children and home, is it automatically assumed she's on welfare? I'm a stay at home mom. I'm a Muslim woman. And my family is not on welfare nor are we anywhere poor in any way, shape, or form. I can get anything I want at anytime, literally. And for most Muslim women, this is the same story. If we have a baby, our husbands buy us 22kt gold jewelry sets and spoil the mess out of us! If we have an accomplishment we get that and taken out to dinner. Muslim men are seen in such a bad light. The media and some examples on the news make it look like all Muslim men are this way. They're not. The RELIGION of Islam says this is how a man is supposed to treat women.

And for that verse that says "beat" in english, in arabic it means to leave the area as that word does the other 5 times it's used in the Quran in Arabic. The english translation is not reliable. The Prophet (saaws) never hit a woman.
