If you're a Muslim, how would you describe yourself; as a modern or traditional Muslim?

I'm doing a research paper comparing and contrasting some views between these two, anyone interested?

Toys found to have drug beads inside
Authorities in NSW have placed an immediate ban on a popular craft toy after its beads were found to contain the toxic drug GHB, or fantasy.

The toy Bindeez, which took out the 2007 Toy of the Year award at the Melbourne Toy and Hobby fair, contains hundreds of beads which can induce seizures, drowsiness or a coma, if eaten.

All Bindeez goods would be removed from sale, Minister for Fair Trading Linda Burney said on Tuesday, and households with the toy were urged to remove it from any area where it could be accessed by children.

"This Bindeez product is Australian Toy of the Year, it is extraordinarily popular," the minister told reporters.

"We issuing right now a total banning order right across NSW."

The beads should contain a non-toxic glue but instead they contains a different chemical which the body metabolises into gamma-hydroxy butyrate (GHB), also known as fantasy or Grievous Bodily Harm.

Why did Catholics add books to the Old Testament? The men of the great assembly met between 310 and 410 BC. During this period they decided which books should be included in the Tanach (the Jewish Bible). The books that they included exactly match the Protestant Old Testament. Thus the books that were to be included in the OT were decided by Jews at least 300 years before Jesus was born on Earth. Since the law and the OT was given to the Jews why did the Catholics add to it? Men who were part of this assembly included Ezra, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. I would think these guys would know what they were doing. So why did the Catholics add these books when the Jews considered them uninspired?

Would a truly omnipresent God fit in with your understanding of things, or would you have to reject that idea? Why?

When a child who has been misled into thinking that Santa is real says ; "but Dad, Santa CAN give all the toys to kids, he has MAGIC reindeer!"
Don't they sound JUST like christians who claim that "god doesn't follow the rules and laws of nature, he INVENTED them!"
I mean how pathetic is it when an adult can't tell the difference between reality and make believe?
At least most kids eventually come to terms that Santa is a myth...

You'd think that a business that is run by homosexuals would be more openminded, but they're just as homophobic as everyone else.

The reason I say this is because my friend is a male model and he is gay. I went with him to an open call at an agency a while back. He literally looks like he stepped out of the pages of GQ magazine. He's a very goodlooking guy, has the perfect proportions for a male model, good fashion sense, etc.

So when it was his turn to go meet with the agency, they loved him! They loved his portfolio, his whole look..the only problem was they thought he gave off a gay vibe. They made no secret of it...they told him upfront that he was too gay. Keep in mind the people that were saying this were gay themselves. Needless to say, they never called him back. I also noticed that the models that seemed to be gay were in and out of there pretty quick. They weren't even given a fair chance!

I depise homophobes...

Many people say that Mormons are not Christians and teach things that go against the Bible...

I took lessons from the LDS Missionaries for 5 years, and it took me those 5 years to accept it. In those 5 years, and even continuing today, I have not read anything that goes against the Bible....

So can you show me something, with SCRIPTURAL reference(and make sure it's the correct verse before you post it) from Mormon scriptures that goes against what the bible says?

When some of them so gleefully say things like "I hope you enjoy burning in hell", which phrase has ACTUALLY been used on here, do they ever look at the other side of the coin? What if an atheist or pagan doctor told a christian "you have cancer and I hope you enjoy dying slowly in so much pain that morphine can't stop it". Before anyone says that this is a different situation, it isn't THAT different. Either way, it is someone gloating over the pain and suffering, they ACTUALLY BELIEVE the other will have to go through. The only real difference is that there are no pagans or atheists that I personally know who would ever be happy about someone suffering. Even if the pain (hell) is a figment of the persons imagination, it is still evil to smugly wish any bad thing on another person who has never caused you harm. It is just as bad to take pleasure or satisfaction in the THOUGHT of another person suffering. Your opinions?
