I have never understand the bible construct that we take no credit for ourselves when we do well and blame satan when we do bad.
I view mankind as potential and that all of us have the potential to be hereos and achieve greatness without the dogma of organized religion. In other words sin is believed by those who are tender minded and perhaps have a difficult time dealing with reality.

about me as a muslim , in islam we follow the Quran and The Quran, the last revealed word of God, is the primary source of every Muslim’s faith and practice. It deals with all the subjects which concern human beings: wisdom, doctrine, worship, transactions, law, etc., but its basic theme is the relationship between God and His creatures. At the same time, it provides guidelines and detailed teachings for a just society, proper human conduct, and an equitable economic system.

Note that the Quran was revealed to Muhammad in Arabic only. So, any Quranic translation, either in English or any other language, is neither a Quran, nor a version of the Quran, but rather it is only a translation of the meaning of the Quran. The Quran exists only in the Arabic in which it was revealed.

I can't think of the name but I know in Europe they do not even consider it a religion in some countries.

Also do those folks really believe this or is this gossip?

There are people here who paste the exact same answer to every question. Never make a comment. Just the cut and paste. Why do they do that? How much fun could that possibly be?

for those of you who know, the 2 girls 1 cup vid was funnier than gross. but the BME Pain vid was very disturbing, if i wasn't the person i am, i don't think i would have been able to handled it. but it did get me to thinking, why the hell would anyone do this to themselves? i mean i understand the whole masoquist idea (but not into it at all) because you can continue to hurt yourself, but this BME crap is permanent and on a whole other horrible level. why? why? why do this? where's the benefit? i don't get it.

If there is such a person as a Catholic Witch, how do they fit the Catholic religion into Witchcraft? How do they follow the rules of the Catholic church? How do they deal with knowing that the pope doesn't agree with witchcraft?

As an example... if I ask a math teacher, "Is 5 squared equal to 11?", he's not offended... but by all rights he should be, for several reasons

1. it's blantently false
2. it was uttered to someone that knows it is false
3. if it was asked by the math teacher to other math teachers, it would be almost laughable
4. it demonstrates that the person asking it is ignorant about basic mathematics
5. the math teacher's entire career is based on knowing the right answer to the question

... and yet the math teacher is NOT offended by the question. Why??

It's a difficult pill to swallow, one that eventually made me lose my faith. This is not to pick on you or to be inflammatory. I sincerely would like to know how you overcame your personal struggle.

How did you manage to learn to love God despite his form of justice?

Thanks for your sincere answers.

My friend just hired a woman who was fired for stealing money for a toy fund to clean his house. I told him she was a thief, but he doesnt seem to care.
He hired her because his daughter told him it was a mis understanding and she was wrongly fired.
Now the woman has lied to his daughter and told her she had a doctors appointment and asked her to babysit her kids. Well, she didnt come back to get her kids. The daughter was calling all over the place to find her and she was found to be a big fat liar and never had a doctors appointment. She was out doing who knows what.
He still insist on keeping her as a housekeeper. In spite of the fact he's been told she steals and lies.
4 yrs ago, he sold a car to a girl and she never paid for it, she also stole money from him. He never took her to small claims or never went to get his car, he just let her run on over him.
He just lets people crap all over him. Whats the deal?

as most societies have age limits on what children can be exposed to.or make decisions that affect their lives,i.e.sex,marriage,alchohol,drive a car,join an army,vote and be legally responsible for their actions.should exposure to religion be included?why should kids be subjected to their parents religious beliefs no matter how extreme or moderate they are.should a child not be allowed to grow up and at a certain age be allowed to choose,if they wish,one of the many gods and religions available at the moment.they then can choose what to wear,eat or be controlled by either a pope,rabbi,cleric or priest.they can choose to use a condom,birth control pill or have an abortion without being condemmed to hell. i think 18 would be a reasonable age.

I read a question "Atheist, who were once Christians" and the responses really saddened me. I am not one to judge people on Christianity. I am not the greatest Christian in the world but I try. I read where people say (including myself) how can God let the bad things happen?well Job was put through so much with the boils, losing his family his house and everything but he still put his trust in the Lord.It is true that God only gives us as much as we can handle. I went through a lot (not as much though as others) and i have found that it has only made me a stronger person.I have found that after i put all my trust in the Lord that things have gotten so much better for me.(at least i try to put all my trust in him)Look around you.where did all these trees and flowers and all the beautiful things come from?the scientists will say some scientifical explanation about it but It all came from God.When a bad thing happens in life look at it as how is this going to make me stronger.
