I think there are real Christians among Fundamentalist Protestants if they are real Nicene Trintitarians.
I know many Funda Prots who actually want to live the Beatitudes but i must admit that i know many more active church-going and church-leading Fundas. who are simply consumed by hate and ignorance,sorry to say . What do you think?

How come when a guy beats up a kid weaker then him he instantly becomes popular most of the time? At my school the other day I heard some girls having a conversation about how this one tough guy (I won’t get into names) beat up this retarded kid after school, the other girls went "oh he’s so hot!"

I mean what do girls find so attractive about a guy beating up another person who was born with a disability? How come girls find this kind of s**t so attractive? It just seems wrong taking advantage of a guy who was born differently.

Since it's plural (united states), I think it should be "USA do" but I noticed that people usually write or say "USA does". What if I was to write "The United States of America do" instead of "The USA do" , would it be do?

Like...when I was dating my black boyfriend his sister didn't like me and gave me dirty looks and stuff and people on the street would give us dirty looks. His sister called him a "sell out" all the time and when I asked my boyfriend what it means he wouldn't answer me. So there are Black people on YA! right? Care to inform me?

My watch has chrome edges and at the top and bottom the chrome is around a half inch thick.
This morning I noticed it was scratched,nothing unusual in that you may say but the scratches quite clearly spell VT.
I'm not joking,this is spooky.
Anybody got any advice?

many of you became a Christian as an adult, without being raised in a Christian home?

I became a Christian at 19 and was not raised in a Christian home.

Okay. I came here because I have no where else to go and I hope that people could please be serious and help me out.

When I was a kid, we were at the Zoo and for whatever reason the elephants FACINATED me. They were HUGE and their trunks were so twisty I became enthralled.

Well as I got older and wiser, studying different religions trying to find my way to God I came across the story of Ganesha. It's very facinating actually but this question doesn't revolve around the religious part of him.

I think I am excited by the image of Ganesha. I know I am horrible and I am sure that God will forsake me but I cannot help but be facinated and excited when I see a picture of him. It has gotten to the point that if my partner is willing, we will roleplay together where he is Ganesha.

Please tell me what I can do... I fear I have lost my way but cannot help what my body desires! If no one is hurt then it is okay right?

Why was a Christian teacher allowed to teach muslim children if one small error can cause such a political farce as this.
I respect religan and all those who chose to follow certain paths but to jail someone for such a trivial matter is beyond me.
Trivial you say, yes!
Why didn't the children run screeming from the classroom covering there ears? because they are children and saw this for what it was and not some political victory over the doomed west.

Our bodies respond to physical training by the appearance of fitness as well as feeling fit.

There are also forms of "mind training" to attain a level of peace or nirvana as in Buddhist philosophy but I wonder if you can train your mind to stop feeling love for someone. If so, how would you accomplish that using a daily "training" technique.

She got convicted for "insulting the faith of Muslims in Sudan," a lesser charge than the original "blasphemy," for naming the class' teddy bear Muhammad today. She gets 15 days in prison, deportation from Sudan, and no lashes--it could have been worse.

But it could have been better, too, and I'd love to find a way to show her some support if I can. Does anyone know anything that's going on, or have any ideas?

Why are conservative Muslims representing Islam instead of us? we speak out yet no one bothers to listen. We've had our websites closed down, our women abused and issued with Fatwas, our religion's dictated to us (i.e, you're not Muslim!) and we're forced into repressive silence until it makes us look like cowards. Do the conservative orthodox Muslims know what they're doing? Why do they turn a blind eye to rape, domestic violence, gold digging, materialism, theft, tyranny, Muslim brothers abusing the rules, RACISM and petty issues yet focus on trivial issues like Hijab, having boyfriends, holding concerts, owning dogs and naming teddy bears Muhammad. Turkey holds a bad name just because of disallowing Hijab in court but other Muslim countries FORCE the veil onto women. That aint Islam, brothers and sisters.

why can't you let us speak out? Don't you realise the name you're givng to us aswell? You think we don't face the same discrimnation and problems as you do?

Salaams.
