Not to offend.

But this group of kids in my class said that humans aren't animasl... I'm like what?

I asked them what we are if we're not animals... they said 'we're mammals, you're so stupid!'.

o.0 How on Earth am I supposed to deal with people like this? I seriously never thought some people were so stupid.. and they're 7th graders. I'm like 'And mammals belong to the kingdom of animalia... which is the animal kingdom.' They looked at me like I grew a third eyeball. They said 'Well if I'm an animal I'd have a tail'.

A young reporter went to a retirement home to interview an aged but legendary explorer. The reporter asked the old man to tell him the most frightening experience he had ever had.

The old explorer said, "Once I was hunting Bengal tigers in the jungles of India. I was on a narrow path and my faithful native gun bearer was behind me. Suddenly the largest tiger I have ever seen leaped onto the path in front of us. I turned to get my weapon only to find the native had fled. The tiger leaped toward me with a mighty ROARRRR! I just soiled myself."

The reporter said, "Under those circumstances anyone would have done the same."

The old explorer said, "No, not back then - just now when I went ''''ROARRRR!''''"

i want to try to have devotions with God every day, but being 16 years old, i have a hard time finding time to do it. I can pray, once i get started i could go on for a while, but it's that getting started that i have a problem with. the Bible reading/studying i hate. it's just words to me. i don't see how my pastor can take a verse or passage, and get so much meaning out of it. if i were to read that same verse on my own time, it would mean zip to me. and i fight with myself every day. this argument goes on in my mind "ok, you need to go pray", "but i don't want to", and it goes on and on until i forget all about it. i put it on my to-do list "devotions", and every night, it's the only thing that doesn't get crossed off. i hate it. i want to see how the bible applies to me, a teenager, but i can't. no matter how hard i try. please help (and i would appreciate if atheists making fun of me wouldn't answer). thanks.

All the regulars on R&S suddenly dropped their avatars and put up real pictures of them? would that change your perspective of them?

and what would happen if your favrite regular changed their name. like for example. i always see rockin the robin on here at this time. it would be weird to me if she changed her name. i almost didnt see her when she changed her avatar.

I know that most normal Muslims think it is wrong to punish that teacher because she made an innocent mistake..

But people still say it is sinful to call a teddy bear Mohammed because it is name of the prophet (pbuh)


But I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY this is wrong!!!

We call boys all the time Mohammed and it is a common surname. And people use for a business name too (sometimes on shops where they sell things that are not too good like a newsagent that sells porno, booze an' lottery tickets)

So why is it just wrong to call a Teddy bear Mohammed? When I was little I had a Stuffed rabbit called Mohammed because I liked that name, my parents didn't tell me there was something wrong with it.


Can anyone explain what is unislamic. I don't want to make sin

For instance:
When a clerk shows a marked impatience when I count out nickles, dimes and pennies for a $6.29 purchase then mumbles "have a nice day", my firs reaction is to say "only if you get hit by a truck". My wife thinks this is terrible. What do you think.

Are you saying the only need for a male and female to truly be together is to reproduce the species the influence they both have on the ones they create is irrevelant?

Is that like saying we are truly no better off than some Animals where the males only come around when the female is in heat impregnate her then hit the road?

I am just wondering why some of you that say a same sex relationship is just as relevant as a male/female one.

Don't you think the majority of people like the fact that they have a heritage on both sides of there families (Mom and Dad) that they have blood Grandparents Uncles, Aunts Cousins is that just a ancient thought that does not matter or is valued in the 21st century?

So I have to ask a question here.

What would you do if you were a devout Christian and your spouse suddenly decided to worship Satan?

Or...if you don't believe in anything at all, what would you do if your spouse suddenly began attending Church every Sunday and asked you to go along?

I can't wait to see these answers.

Shouldn't they just call it yet more fulfillment of prophecy rather than try so hard to change it?

I like to study the books that Paul wrote because, well, they are magnificant. I am wondering, however, where in the Bible does inform us of Paul's death? Is there more than 1 reference?

The wife was on her deathbed, with her husband at her side.
She kept trying to tell him something, but he kept saying, "Shhhh, don't worry now darling, just rest."
"But honey," she whispered, "I need to make a confession before I die... I slept with your brother, your best friend, and your father."
"Don't worry about it, sweetie," replied Hubby as he wiped the tears from wifey's cheek, "I know. Why do you think I poisoned you?"

About 4 years when my dog, granny and aunt all died in the space of a year me and my mother have all gotten these weird sensations on our skin, like as if the hairs on our skin are moving, but you look and they aren't. My mother and I started to wonder whether it was spirits but we aren't terribly sure whether we believe in that sort of thing. My mother though once asked whether my granny (her mother) was in heaven, and she got the sensation on her nose. I can usually ask for the sensation anytime I want, anyone got any idea what this could mean? Sounds farfetched I know :P

The Four Agreements are:
1. Be Impeccable With Your Word
2. Don't Take Anything Personally
3. Don't Make Assumptions
4. Always Do Your Best.

Do you prefer them to the "four spiritual laws?"
