Muslims would you marry your cousin? I know it’s allowed, I just want to know if you would. If you’re wondering I wouldn't but I wouldn’t think anything weird if someone else would. It’s just my personal view.

to me one day. lol

Tonight we went out and the service was horrible. I did pay for my meal.
It took awhile to get a waitress who presented someone that was shadowing her. Then someone different brought the food. Then we never saw her for a long time and finally she came with the bill. No one cared to even refill our drinks and I had to get another waiter to wait on us to get me something. My husband ordered the salad bar with dinner and asked the girl working there for some lettuce --as it was empty. She said she was not on the clock and went on putting up new plates while a new bowl of lettuce sat right there beside her. So my husband sat down and then he went to her and just stood there staring at her and the bowl until she put it up. She was in no hurry. She just stood there putting up plates. I had the money to pay in my hands and when asked how my meal was I just said the service was horrible. The manager offered me dessert which I did not want.

If there is a god, why is there suffering, famine, wars, disasters? Nobody is excluded, sinners or otherwise. Sinless babies are born defected, millions die in disasters (there are bound to be more than a handful of believers in that bunch isn't it?)

I'm not saying that god is not all-loving, I'm saying there is no god so don't give me the usual 'if suffering is used as evidence to disprove the existence of a loving God, then equally any good that happens in the world ought to be used as an evidence to support that there is a loving God.'

I think everything that happens, sh*t or otherwise is just part and parcel of life or mere coincidences. Convince me otherwise :) (educated replies only pls)

Since Humankind started from Adam & Eve, aren't we all the descendents of them? That's means in a way we are all related to each other regardless of the color of the skin or the religious beliefs we adhere ourselves to. If that is the case why do we keep killing one another? Why can't we settle a differences or problems in a civilized way? I hate seeing the war in Iraq or anywhere else. Alot of lives are lost. Will we ever get to see the day when the Muslims, Christians and Jews live in peace and harmony and respect each other not only in terms or religious beliefs but as a person and as a brother/sister of Humankind itself? We all have to believe that we can in fact make a difference....issues are merely tools for us to overcome.

Is this quote accurate?

"Wicca is a priesthood, you MUST be in a coven and initiated to be a Wiccan witch, there is no other way to call yourself a Wiccan. This does not mean you cannot study it, and apply the principles you think are fitting to your life, but you cannot be Wiccan without being initiated in a coven. Now you can choose to leave the coven, and practice solo. If you have not learned what a Wiccan coven teaches it is not possible to be a Wiccan, there are many things taught in a Wiccan coven that you cannot learn from a book, because it is forbidden for this knowledge to be taught, or discussed anywhere but in the coven. There are some people who will tell you otherwise, but it just simply cannot be done, and when people try and say they are Wiccan without even studying in a coven at all it is very offensive to a person who has put the time and dedication into their training."

I'm a 29 year old single mom of a 4year old. I have struggled with the concept of Christianity for a long time. I believe in God, and I believe in Jesus. My problem is that I have tried so hard to turn my life and my heart over to Him, but I guess I don't know how! I don't even really know how to explain it. I really want to raise my child to believe and have no doubts, but how can I when I don't feel it? I pray on a regular basis, but I have a real problem trusting that God will make sure things turn out the way they are supposed to. I don't know how to get to a point where I can believe with my whole heart, but I want it so bad! Can someone help? I don't want my child to do through this when she is older!

The following verses say that we can lose, exchange, and sell our soul. What do you think?

“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels." - Mark 8,36-38 (KJV)

wouldn't you think this is mean & inappropriate?
especially when she says "you'll get more gifts" & "your aunts are too old to travel." my "old" aunts travel often & driving or being driven less than 1hr away is not asking too much.

Please tell me your religion. If you are a Christian tell me your denomination please.
Do you think there is a need for modern day Apostles and Prophets? If you do, why?

I`m not saying that God is bound by the same laws as human beings. Causation is a relationship that obtains between events that occur within space and time. God is said to exist outside of space and time (if there is such a thing)

How can something that is outside of space and time cause material objects to come into existence space and time, when causation is a relationship between two events in space time?

Let me guess, because he`s God.

Would she have to give up her title? Would I gain one? I guess all I have to do is meet her and we'll fall in love at first sight. The only problem, and I suppose it is a benefit, is that family of hers.

Seas are not parting, Pillars of fire are not guiding people anywhere, People are not surviving in fiery furnaces nor in the belly of a great fish, and the dead, even the faithful dead, are not rising from their graves and returning to their families. And we can't even feed our own planet from abundance, much less 2 loaves and 5 fish.

What makes these different from the tales about an oversized lumberjack and his giant blue ox?

I'm a 13 y/o boy and I live in a pretty well off middle class suburb in Phoenix. I go to a good school and I have a pretty good group of friends. All my life I've been a Christian, but I didn't always act like one in school. For example, there was a girl in my PE class last year who came from a problem family. She got into a lot of trouble, bullied kids from a nearby elementary school, shoplifts, and vandalizes things. She is always being mean to people in class too. Whenever she said anything nasty to me, I would say something mean back. Even though she did a good job covering it up, I could tell that my words hurt her more than her words hurt me. I would feel a little guilty, but I still felt justified.

Then came summer 2006. Our youth group went on a 10-day mission to Mexico. I met a boy from a Denver church there, who was there for the same reason as I was. He is my age, and we became good friends.
