im vietnamese. Ive noticed when english people say theyre "25% aristocrat" or have royal blood english people (usually working class) get offended and say they broke out of psycho ward or they are idiots. is it because they say theyre trying to say theyre better than them? well arent they. what have working class people ever done? they have labour which ruined the education system in the past, bring in immigrants, get drunk and vomit everywhere, grow up without married parents (bastards). ruined the british car industry through riots. while all that is being done the elite were doing all the best inventions and writings are the best and fittest soldiers and generally work alot harder making them superior. why be jealous?

Or is it just a trick used by Muslims to make people who critisize Islam feel bad?

I favour the latter seeing as how I regulary get called Islamaphobic for pointing out obvious errors and scientific inconsistancies in the Qu'ran.

This is a good article:

almost puts him in the same league as Buddha, Krishna, Allah
and the other gods (which are not gods at all)

The god of the Bible is God. the only God. no matter what anyone else calls him, He's God. People in other languages would call him God. in the Greek they would call Him "theo", in the french "dieu". calling Him God doesn't lessen His importance or authority. all the other peoples in the world won't call him Jehovah they would call him something else. so what's the big deal about calling him Jehovah. There is only one God. all others are false.

Every year we try to be different from the years before. From different color of bows, bulbs and lights on the tree to the Christmas lights outside on the house and property.

I personaly think we need God to step in and set things right.
In the mean time would not stoning these people be a good first step ? (at least they won't do it again)
What about a flogging of the Judge as well ?

Alhamdulillah I choose to wear the Niqaab (please note my question is not refering to whether you deem to believe if it is fardh or not)

Recently I have been having doubts!! I know the devil attacks more to those who try and practise, is there any way or anything I can recite to get rid of these thoughts??

Matthew 27:5 And he [Judas] cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.

Acts 1:18 Now this man [Judas] purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.

I mean if he hadn't of, then Jesus wouldn't have died for our sins and we would all be going to hell. But then again, we wouldn't have had a chance to avail of Jesus sacrifice so it wouldn't be our fault, so we might not have to go to hell after all. So maybe Judas shouldn't have betrayed Jesus because since he did, Jesus died for our sins and all those guys who didn't accept him when they heard about him, are gonna burn for eternity...

It kinda does your head in...

While I was growing up I was a bit smarter than other kids my age and it began to bother me because I couldn't find any friends that would tolerate my mouthy knowledge spewing (I would spout off random facts and stats about random things). Since then I've learned to control my nerd impulse but I work with children and I'm now able to identify that there are other's with my same dilemma (just in different forms).

Did you find it easy to be different from everyone else growing up or did you try your hardest to blend in and do you still do it?

[If anyone needs this to be cleared up some just email me. I apologize, it's early.]

It's nice to hear other peoples testimonies. God is still working in my life, I've got some work to do. My testimony is still in progress.

We can take the atheist and agnostics in groups to see that:

The genesis creation is true

That Moses really parted the red sea and pharoah army drowned in it

That the battles and wars in the Bible are true.

That God did destroy the cities of Sodom and Ghamorrah

That Lots wife was turned into salt

That The Noah flood really did happen

That Jesus was a real man

Jesus did real miracles,including walking on water.

That Jesus was crucified

Jesus did rise

And in general that the whole of the Bible is true?How long do you suppose till someone makes a working,time traveling machine?

Happy Holidays to each other now? The people who aren't christian aren't celebrating the Birth of Christ anway...like the jewish folks..so why do businesses and people now say happy holidays?
It really pisses me off..IT'S Merry Christmas!! If you live In America.
We were founbed on God-and Christ...it's in our courthouses...legislature bldgs..on our MONEY!!
If you don't believe in Christmas or aren't christian why do you care one way or the other.
And please don't tell me it's because we don't want to offend non-christians! Non-christians don't CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS!!
Stop saying happy holidays...it's sounds so stupid!
When someone wishes me a happy holiday.I Say: Merry Christmas to you too!lol.

... except that there is a lot of evidence for the existence of Prince Philip :)

If you believe in another god, you may mock those who believe in Prince Philip, but how can you be sure you are right and they are wrong? They doubtless believe just as fervently as you.
