i'll lay off the christians for a while. when was the last time someone was imprisoned for naming a teddy bear darwin? what is wrong with people? i'm referring to this whole debacle over some teacher in sudan naming a teddy bear muhammad. i have to say though, as much as i hate extremism like this, it does help shed light on the dangers of religion when taken too seriously. can i get some muslim opinions on this issue. what's your take on it? i mean if it was just some whacko overthere who went crazy over the issue, i'd wouldn't be as surprised. but this lady was sent to prison, which means she had to go to court, plead her case, and was found guilty of a crime which merited prison time. pardon the expression but, jesus christ!!! what's wrong with these people?

Paul Henreid played Victor Lazlo in Casablanca, and also played opposite Bette Davis in Now Voyager. Charles Boyer was the sensual star of Algiers and Gaslight, among other films. In my opinion these two were the most romantic actors ever. I have never read anything negative about either man, and your opinion will be appreciated. I still love to watch their old movies.

In the movie the Golden Compass, Adam and Eve KILL God. I thought Atheists didnt believe in God, or that he has never existed. So why would an Atheist find it necessary to harm Christians. Im not a christian either, nor an I an Atheist, but I find this behavior appalling at best.

correct me if im wrong here, please but dont give me a page long answer.

are religious people supposed to be accepting of others beliefs and forgiving and blah blah blah? but yet when ever there is a religous movie, no one cares, another movie. then some movie comes out with witches, magic, anti-god, no god, and all of the sudden some religous groups go nuts and want to boycott, and so on and so forth. (not all, some) so tell me, whats up with that?

In other words do you think forgiveness is freely given or is there work required to be forgiven?

Is there a limit to how many times you can commit a sin and still be forgiven?

Please No insulting comments to non-mormons and NO Mormon bashing in your answers. This is an attempt to clarify thoughts on forgiveness.

Adam and Eve had two sons , cain and Abel. One of the sons got married, so my question is, where did the woman come from if Adam and Eve were the first two people on this earth???

Have the Christians censored it out?

I was eager to learn that the streets of heaven were really covered with platinum, not gold.

My friend absolutely adores drag queens! (And she is a huge gay rights activist.) For Christmas, I want to get her a new drag queen movie on DVD. She has already seen Connie and Carla, as well as Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. I'm looking for something new for her. Any recommendations?

Please keep it PG-13 or lower. Thanks! Happy holidays!

I find that both inane, and ironic. Though I don't really what to hear long logical answers of how life is all about experiencing things. If life is all about experience then learn to be happy in the world you live in and stop preaching to those who reject your lifestyle.

People say hateful things and they should really learn to cope with the reality that is, instead of trying to make this world be something it will never be.

Where is the best place too see Christmas decorations on houses in the South East of London, Croydon, Surrey, Bromley areas, and mid surrey? I mean are there any well know areas for having competitions between the houses? Or any that ask for charitable donations? What im looking for are over the top outrageous houses that a 6 year old child would like. Or somewhere like a woodland or park that is nicely decorated. Central London however, is a no-go!!!!!!. Thanks for all your suggestions!

I am 23 years old, a mother of two, and wife of a wonderful deployed Army soldier. My question is how to develop an interpersonal relationship with God. I need him in my life so badly and for years I've been battling with myself on trying to live right then falling back into the trap of living wrong. I try to sincerely pray to God but I wonder if I'm being sincere enough. I really want to change my life for the better and raise my kids and teach them about God, but I don't even know the direction of where my life is taking me. It's like I'm in a blank state of mind sometimes and I don't know what to do next. I'm tired of being this way so can someone please offer me some words of advice or encouragement that will help. I've even subscribe with televangelist websites but you always have to "pay"for an answer with them. So please help me. Thank you so much!

A man comes up to your wife and rapes her. His adult children beat up your elementary school children and you now incur very large medical bills. His friends are "having a good time" and in the process their gang of 100 rapes your daughter and kills your three brother-in-laws, who witnessed the event.

Somehow, the police didn't want to prosecute, secretly on the grounds of race, and rape was a way of life in your home country, where all of this took place.

As a Christian should you forgive these people or try to use the law to have them punished?

Say, ten years later, you've lost your job because people no longer wanted to do business with you. Should you forgive your attackers?

You are unemployed and jailed for trespass, you were one someone else's property and you were framed.

The most honorable judge in the entire land judged against you and allowed false testimony to be entered into the records as fact. From a reading of the records any common man can see the judge's error.

I don't live in the USA. The religious situation in my secular country in Western Europe is quite different from yours.

I would like to understand what are the problems between Non-Believers and Believers in the USA nowadays.

Thanks a lot for your answers :-)

All you have is the bible...it could be fake, you have no proof what-so-ever to prove that jesus existed! You show me physical proof to prove that he lived as one of us and I will worship you. But as far as i'm concerned- you have none.

you all know the riddle by now i'm sure. the answer is nothing. what i'm confused on is the first part. the part i'm confused on is the first part. the poor have it? ok, so the poor have nothing. but the bible says, blessed are the poor for theirs is the kingdom of god. so if the poor have nothing and the poor have the kingdom of god, is it fair to equate the kingdom of god with nothing?
