A. The Christian god as described in the old testament (examples: murdering babies, ordering children killed, drowning helpless animals and people)?
B. The people who wrote all those horror stories in the bible (examples too numerous to count)?
C. Modern Christians who use the Bible as an excuse to insult, belittle, and condemn everyone outside their cult (example: joyfully telling people they're going to some imaginary "hell" if they don't believe exactly the same)?

I thought about it a lot, and I even tried to want some things, but there's really nothing I want. Not even the things I need, I can go out and pay for those myself. Am I alone on this?

Jesus apparently said it himself. It's in the bible, Mathew, Chapter 5, Verses 5 & 6. Don't be like the hypocrites who pray in church and on street corners...

Dear oh dear, they disobey a direct order from their master. Why do Christian church-goers constantly blaspheme and commit heresy?

Do the majority of the people who want to vote for her really believe that she is a good candidate or are they voting for her because well she a her. There was question on here where a user said something along the lines of America has never had a female president....

As a recipient, there's nothing you can really do but take them.

But as a giver, think twice. Please try this experiment. Take out a dollar from your wallet.

Notice how it says "THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE?" Also notice there are no expiration dates, nor any mice type terms and conditions or hidden fees?

Cash is good anywhere for anything at any time. It carries no restrictions. It doesn't expire. So why do people take cash and voluntarily convert into something less useful, that may eventually disappear altogether by expiring or with hidden fees?

Just say "NO" to buying gift cards this year.

I'm a new Muslim and I like doing the prayers, but I don't know them that well. I usually wake up in the morning and do fajr at the prescribed time, but I read the prayers as I listen to the audio. I wait until I get home from work to do Zuhr, Asr, and Mahgrib at Mahgrib time so that I can listen to the audio and read the prayers to do them. Is this ok until I memorize the prayers by heart?

I looked at the local book store in the children's section. They did not have any but directed my to the 'New Age' section. I can look through what they offer but I am hoping to get some recommendations as well.

It's popular and simple to say he's omnipotent ("all-powerful,") but I think it's pretty clear that's an oversimplification.

At the very least, there's the problem of evil. Things which are very obviously not good go on in the world, and for some reason or another, God doesn't stop them. So it's either because he can't (he's not powerful enough), or because he'd like to, but won't allow himself to (that is, he can limit his own power, and has done so).

That's at the very least. This isn't to mention that there are things that obviously aren't put together as well as they could be (weather disasters on the Earth, defects and inefficiencies in the human body, et cetera); it seems that God has not only the obvious limitations, but more.

What are God's limits?

Seems like many women(even men) are catty towards each other and cannot accept females as authority figures.
Cause if that wasnt the case there would have been at LEAST 1 woman President in America since the year America, land of the free and equal was born.

Over 200 years of "free and equal" and no woman President yet? hmmmmmmmmmmmm interesting. And for those who are slow and will point out that women havent had the right to vote until recently...........THAT's my point. It isnt free and equal then is it?????

forever is a big word, we all will get a new eternal body that will never die,,even non believers
imagine dieing forever , but not being able to die,,thats not good,,
