In our highschool it is ok to have an "asian club" or "black club" in which only members of that race are allowed in it. However if there was a white club all hell would break loose. I think these sort of clubs shouldn't be allowed and are just further seperating the different races in our school. What do you think?

It really seems to me that a person has to place faith in one or another. Maybe someone on here can explain it to me?

I need some ideas of what to get my fiance, who is a truck driver, for Christmas. He is a long-haul driver and is gone anywhere from 3-6 weeks, so I want to make his truck more like home. If anyone could point me in the way of truck accessories, I would appreciate it. Also, storage is a huge problem in his truck so any ideas for that would be great, as well.

i smoke, i drink i occasionaly indulge in the smoking of less legal thc producing weeds that grow in dirt, i belive stringently in sex before marriage and practice my belief, when i go rock climbing i do so without a harness because of this lifestyle i am likley to buy the proverbial farm and push up the daisys before 90 percent of the population, however i honestly belive that the quality of my short life will be greater than if i was a teetotaling religeous zealot who may well live into his hundreds (thats paradoxic really teetotalers suffer from heart attacks more than conservative drinkers due to the healthy thinning of the blood caused by alcohol) anyway you get my drift. question is is it better to live a long life by strict rules or trade in some time on the planet for a bit of fun, i dont know if theres an afterlife but frankly my opinion is id like to do a whole load of crazy **** before i find out whats your opinion?


p.s. sorry if i offended any teetotaling religeous zealot

. . . and believe ONLY people who believe as you do will get to heaven.

If you were to get to heaven, and discover that people who died believing differently than you do got into heaven also, would you still be able to enjoy heaven, even tho' you were wrong in your beliefs. In this hypothetical scenario, your place in heaven is not compromised in anyway, you are not punished in any way.

You get into heaven, along with other souls on very different spiritual paths than you.

Would heaven still be heavenly to you, or would the presence of other religions bother you ?

Yes, I know this is a hypothetical question, don't answer if you don't like hypothetical questions.

Thanks in advance.

I found this identical reply twice today on Answers today..Re the Sudan Incident..Can any Moslem confirm..1. unlike christians muslims do not consider pets(animals) same as children. In general they don't name their pets with muslim name, mostly they name their pets with christian names like, Tony, Tom etc.
2. From Islamic point of view animals are inferion being compare to human being.
3. Muslims have extremely high regard for all prophets and specifically Prophet Mohammed.

From a level 6 and level 1

My Answer was this
I find your comment Hypocritical...You say that Moslems don't use Arabic Moslem names for Pets but Christian (Biblical) names.

You said Moslems have extremely high respect for Prophets..then why is it OK to disrespect the Prophet Jesus Christ by giving names of his followers ( Christian names) to animals.
Why would they not show the same respect to Christians as they expect from them.
You put your foot in it...giving more ammo to ant-Islamists..Fool

This is just my thought,but I would like to hear your opinions.

If we agree that we have life becuase we have a spirit...

James 2:26-For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

I wanna say it was my dad(certified minister,but doesnt preach in a church at this moment) and one of his friends talking about this, in which my dad said something like a baby is a alive when the spirit comes into it.Again I think it was my dad I heard say it,but I could of heard it else where to.
But since we cant,science cant tell with natural means when the spirit enters a baby in the womb,then should we consider that as soon the baby is able to kick and move around in the mother's stomach that then it is alive&it would be morally wrong to abort it?

Me personally,I think it's wrong period,but if were going by when the baby is considered alive,would the movement of the baby inside the womb be a good indicator that it now has a spirit,life inside it?

The English line "lead us not into temptation" is actually a bad translation, as God does not and would not actively "lead us" into temptation, a notion that would make Him the Author of evil. Though the Pater has been prayed this way in English for hundreds of years and there is no need to change it now, one must keep in mind that a more literal translation would be "allow us not to succumb to temptation." James 1:13-14: "Let no man, when he is tempted, say that he is tempted by God. For God is not a tempter of evils: and He tempteth no man. But every man is tempted by his own concupiscence, being drawn away and allured."

What are the Watchtower Organization's requirements for salvation?

I was reading a Watchtower article that stated 4 requirements for salvation....

1). Studying the Bible.
2). Obey God’s laws by conforming one’s life to the moral requirements set out in the Bible.
3). Be associated with God’s channel, his organization because Jehovah is using only one organization today to accomplish his will.
4). Be a loyal witness; God requires that prospective subjects of his Kingdom support his government by loyally advocating his Kingdom rule to others.

I assume #3 is referring to the Watchtower Organization meaning you have to become a Jehovahs Witness to be saved, but correct me if I'm wrong. Are these 4 requirements basically it? Are there others? I would appreciate only serious answers to this question as I am trying to learn. Thanks in advance for your answers.

to ask.

If you child told you they no longer wanted to attend church, pray, or otherwise participate in the religion you are raising them in, what would you do ?

Does it depend on the age of the child ?
What if they wanted to join a completely different religion ? Would it depend on the religion ?
What if they told you they were completely atheist ? Would that be worse than joining a completely different religion.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and opinions.

Selling Teddy Bears named after Adam (PBUH) to Muslim children from a website that is directed at Muslims.

You guys are losing the battle. Admit that Sudan is an extreme example that is not supported by 99.9% of the good Muslim people in this world, and stop making bonehead excuses about your nonexistent reverence for prophets.
