I know it's a dumb question but I wanted to ask anyway. I figured this because I know there are certain sites like The Hunger Site when you just click a button and automatically some amount of food is given etc and you don't pay a thing... I'm guessing the answer's no but I wanted to ask.

"After a While"

"After a while you learn the subtle difference
between holding a hand and chaining a soul.
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning
and company isn't security.
You learn that Kisses aren't contracts
and presents aren't promises.

After awhile you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up high
with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child.
And you learn to build all your roads on today
because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain
And things have a way of falling down in mid-flight.

After a while you learn that even sunshine burns
if you ask to much of it.

So, you plant your own garden
and decorate your own soul,
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.

And you learn that your really are strong,
That you really can endure,
That you really do have worth.
And you learn
And you Learn
With every good-bye you learn

Since there is Jusitice in this life and next, when someone commit a sin or ignore 10 commandment over and over (ADULTRY) even if he ask for forgivness and he/she never commit it any more, then how would LORD make it JUST.
What about the right and hearts that he/she has ignored and broken?
How should the sinner make peace with LORD and the people that he has commit sin towards even if they do not forgive him.

But they've just made temporary bad choices that led them astray?

Does free will and being allowed to choose your own belief system (or not believe in anything) not exist at all anymore?

Even our genetical father and mother won't expect anything of the above. How the creator expect all those things? If it is His creation, he won't send His children to hell - no real father will give such judgement. The people go bad due to their genetical, environmental and situational problems which is being done by the creator.

Assalaam Aylekuim

I live in England.. and it is generally good to be a Muslim here. In my city there are many Muslims and it is easy to practice Islam. There are many mosques and it is easy to buy Halal food.. Women are protected in hijab and we can take time off from /schools work for Eid.. And generally we have good relations with none Muslims.

We have small problems.. with the media that it is always printing lies about us.. and some pratice of Islam is too cultural and not pure Islam.. but that is about it.

What is is like praticing Islam in your country?

I'm not sure whether I believe in psychics, but I'm willing to keep an open mind. I was wondering if someone with psychic abilities would respond to my question in the form of a reading. It doesn't have to be anything much, I'm just going though a tough time, and I'm looking for direction. Do you ever see me getting married, having children, working a steady job? Or are these things just not meant to be for me? There are other personal things I want to discuss, but I will be satisfied whatever I can get.


So, will a psychic PLEEEEEESE help me out?

Christmas is coming up and I have no idea what to get for my dad. He litterally likes nothing aside from watching tv. He is 49 years years old. He does not like to go out, he doesn't rent or watch movies (becaue they all come on cable or movies on demand). Last year I bought him the season My Name is Earl, and it hasn't even been opened it (he has a DVR, so it's pointless now). But, he doesn't play any sports, he doesn't dress up for work or any other occasion, so ties and such are out of the question. I used to get him gift cards, but he never used those either...my mom would end up spending them. My budget at max. would be $200 If anyone can help please let me know. Thank You!

He's a Christian who feels I'm missing out on life. I'm a color blinded dog who can't see the beautiful rainbow, he says. I feel the exact same regarding his position. I want us to agree to disagree. Most anyone I would fervently debate with, but he's too important to me for me to go all out. I'd rather be my kinder self with him. How can I have him understand that I feel just fine as I am and do not need religious belief to make my life better - now or ever?

If you don't believe in God, you're doomed to hell, right?

God is supposed to be loving and forgiving, right?

Using this logic, how is it fair that an Atheist who has lived a good, honest life goes to hell?

Say for example they donated to charity, helped the poor, went out of their way to help others, did their best not to do wrongs, worked hard, did the best for themselves and their family, and is an all around good person.

Out of all of that, what makes them deserving to burn for eternity, just because they didn't believe in a lord? I fail to see any logic in this. A good person doesn't deserve to be punished for one thing, do they?

Wouldn't a loving and forgiving god want his people to be good and kind to others, even if they didn't believe in him?

I'd love to hear some insight.

For example: When I write an academic paper I write in a form that is not true to the way that I "speak" in everyday conversations...
However, if I write a friend a letter, I might "write" verbatim to what I would say if I were talking to her on the phone; Hey girl, what's up with you etc.

Is it the same for the Spanish language? Can you "write" verbatim what you say.....like you can in English?

Why do people believe in the "devil" when there is nothing more evil or hatefull than man? Why would an ALL loving God allow such a being? Why would God allow his children to face such a fate?
