Then you could kill, steal and oppress with the excuse that GOD gave you these fringe benefits.

However, this religious racism would invite the hatred of all people in all places in all the world for all time............

"As you tune your radio, there are certain frequencies where the circuit has just the right resonance and you lock onto a station. The internal structure of an atomic nucleus is something like that, with specific energy or resonance levels. If two nuclear fragments collide with a resulting energy that just matches a resonance level, they will tend to stick and form a stable nucleus. Behold! Cosmic alchemy will occur! In the carbon atom, the resonance just happens to match the combined energy of the beryllium atom and a colliding helium nucleus. Without it, there would be relatively few carbon atoms. Similarly, the internal details of the oxygen nucleus play a critical role. Oxygen can be formed by combining helium and carbon nuclei, but the corresponding resonance level in the oxygen nucleus is half a percent too low for the combination to stay together easily. Had the resonance level in the carbon been 4 percent lower, there would be essentially no carbon. Had that level in the oxygen been only half a percent higher, virtually all the carbon would have been converted to oxygen. Without that carbon abundance, neither you nor I would be here."15

Before someone has a "thrombie" (that is also a winge in South Africa). I am NOT asking for what;- country, city, State or anything else. I would just like to know "IF" you want to share what your children's names are. You DON'T have to answer this if you feel it is too personal.. FIRST NAMES ONLY. Mine are Joanna, Kirsten and Justine.

..i have read read in the book about the life of an ortodox saint who has been a wizard before becoming a saint, that he (the saint..when he was a wizard )..went to satan's place..camp etc..met satan..kissed (like friends)he did what he did as a wizard with the help of the wizard...very bad things..anyway..the saint(when he was a wizard)saw there at the place where the demons invited him..saw the powers of demons..all kind of visions that satan gives and the ancient gods and goddes..so the ancient gods are visions made by demons..not halucinations..as Freud said..

well..also in the current book of a priest it is shown that those who are bigginers in prayers..when they start to pray,,can be tempted by satan..with hearing noises around..etc..what is called auditory halucinations..

so i see that the truth is hidden by psichologists like Freud and Jung and the rest..and hidding such a trth is a very big sin..

God talks about those..who lead others to hell..

I am a logical Muslim but I see questions deleted when

1) people ask question or answers about Ayesha who was married to prophet Mohammed at the age of 9.
2) When people say sperm comes from lower back according to the Quran .
The holyQuran Sura At Tariq ( Chapter 86 verse# 6-7) says
" He is created from a water gushing forth
Proceeding from between the back-bone and the ribs"

From modern science we know sperm comes from testicles not from lower back. When people say sperm emits Abdominal Aorta, which is in the area between the back bone (spinal column) and the ribs they sound lame. This means that they are saying that the prostate gland and seminal vesicles are in the abdomen. They are not. They are located within the pelvis not the abdomen.

3) When people quote from Sura Al Azhab in the Quran that muslims are allowed to have sex with servants
(Chapter 33 verse # 50)
"We have made lawful to you your wives, and those (captives or slaves) whom your right hand possess

I always believed there was a god, but never concerned myself with it. But one day; I had this urge to include him in my life and told everyone I needed him. For the 1st time I got my Bible out and was asking my common law husband where it said we had to be married and I just wish 'they' would leave me alone. I did not know who 'they' were! One day I started reading it and spent like 3 months in Proverbs. At nite I'd go into town and sit on the church step hoping to find God there. I did my best to pray but didnt know how. Then I said I was going to a local fundraiser to buy a book on religion. I didnt know what it was called but I'd know it when I saw it. After reading "Who is God" I ask for forgiveness of my sins. And I felt this physical weight lifted off my chest. I didnt know where to turn next until I ask a religious lady how can I find this God? Thus I joined the Pentecostal Church. I never seen so much sin. I started denomination hopping but they're all the same.

inscribed on the stones. Can you tell me what they are?

The author says that the quotes on the gravestones pretty much sum up the whole Harry Potter series and I would like to know what the quotes are.

Thanks!

Will anyone survive the Tribulation and Great Tribulation in their human bodies? I mean...

The war of armaggedon will end with the second coming of Jesus Christ. What will happen to those unbelievers who survive to the point of seeing his second coming? Are they going to be destroyed or live along with saints?

Saints will have spiritual bodies and unbelievers will have normal bodies?

Is there any way to know?

I know people are complaining saying it's too early in the year to be talking or thinking about Christmas - but is there anyone else like me who has to start planning etc really early to make sure you can afford all the things you need??

I am a single parent, work full time and my wages aren't too bad BUT ----- when your still paying all the household bills AND trying to sort out Christmas it does become a bit of a strain - so starting ealrier in the year is the only solution!!!

Also the gadgets kids ask for seem to be getting more and more expensive each year!! or is that just my daughter getting older - Christmas is such a worry for me! (although I do love it!)

What about you??

Why is humankind so obsessed with the Truth? No other mammal has this deep yearning for it like humans do. We strive after it for the most part of our lives. If something is not true, then it is 'wrong'. Why do we feel this way? And why do we also choose to escape reality for a couple of hours, buying into a movie or book of fiction?

salaam,

hi everyone, got another question. i have made the decision to switch to islam. the only thing is, how in the world do i tell my mom?!!! she's christian, and doesn't believe in islam.yester day she was like"why are you reading the quaran?, you haven't even read the bible yet!do you want to be muslim now?" i could have said yes right then and there, but i had friends in the car, and did not feel like getting into a argument and she seemed a little irritated anyway. It's true i havent' read the WHOLE bible yet though, i heart keeps leading me back to the quaran. not sure how my mom would feel about it though, she said before that she didn't believe in a religion that worshipped a man (muhammed)., i kno he's a prophet and we don't worship him, that would be shirk. i think i may need a way to possibly influence her that islam is wat i believe to be the true religion, and if she begs to differ, at least let me be wat i am. its not like i worshipping shaytaan.

Today I received a Good Luck Chinese Proverb from my daughter. It is quite moving to read and I need to send it to 20 e-mail addresses to receive my good luck. As I only have a friend and my daughter's e-mail addresses, I am stuck! Are there at least 19 people out there that would like it sent? Not a scam, I would like to spread some good luck too. Thanks.
