1. Does this comment diminish the value of faith? How so?

2. Is the only requirement of a religion a belief that includes faith?

to clarify: has your particular religion (in the sociocultrual sense, not the personal one) reached its final evolution?
and dont freak out about "evolution" i use it in the cultural sense not the genetic one.

another way to put it: could your particular religion change its leadership style, style of worship or beliefs in the future? has it in the past?

please state your religion if you have one. if you dont have one, you can answer for all religions and belief systems

or is this even possible? would the process be disrupted if there was a camera and crew present? due to all the scientifically impossible things that supposedly happen during exorcisms, the broadcast should be able to convert a considerable number of non believers.. right?? and the church could very well profit from this endeavor.. so why don't they do this?

Before you ask why this is in this category, read the whole argument.

You wouldn't find a single scientific study that can prove that second hand smoke is bad for you, because it's impossible to empirically measure the amount of second hand smoke you can receive in your life while controlling for other factors like smog and pollution.
We do know that smoking (first hand smoke) is bad for you, and we also have a preponderance of OBSERVATIONAL data and CIRCUMSTANTIAL evidence that leads researchers to the conclusion (or hypothesis) that second hand smoke is bad. But in truth, we have no actual, real, PROOF of it, and we never will.

So if there is no scientific proof, why believe it?
*cough, cough*

A public school teacher showed students a video called "A letter from Hell" He said the video was "more religious than he would have liked" but he showed it anyway. He said the purpose of the film was to show the dangers of alcohol, but at the very beginning of the movie the stated purpose of the film was laid out -- to get students to "share Jesus" with friends.

The whole point of the movie was, that if you don't accept Jesus, you will go to hell.

A Jewish student in the class complained to her parents and they complained to the school board. The teacher KNEW she was Jewish, and he showed this "believe or burn" video on the first day of Chanukah.

How should the school handle this. What should happen to this teacher.

My opinion - The teacher should be fired.

Is it possible for people who are together here on Earth, to be together in Heaven? Also, even though there will be much love and understanding in Heaven, will we still feel the need to hug and kiss eachother or is that just a physical desire that wouldnt matter in Heaven?

Assalam-o-laikum! My question is: Can ALLAH forgive you if you are very angry and think (not say) something very bad like a bad word or bad expression used like when you are having fight or an argument with someone? But the diffrence is that you think this very bad word about ALLAH when you are angry? Is this thought a sin???????? And can ALLAH forgive this?

A few days ago, my friend and I went to the women-only swim session at out local pool, and we both went swimming topless. When we were finished and heading for the showers, one of the lifeguards came up to us and said that in future we shouldn't go topless, and the manager spoke to us afterwards and said the same thing.

Am I missing something here? Surely half the reason for having women-only swim sessions is so that women can swim topless, or in a thong bikini, or nude, or just in a normal swimsuit, or however they like and be comfortable with it since there are no men watching?

I think the verb is "preguntar"(?) I know how to conjugate that but I don't know which form to use when saying "don't ask".

Thanks in advance. =]

If you believe the Adam and Eve tale, then do you accept that their offspring must logically have committed incest either between themselves or even with their parents?

On special days like Christmas or my birthday, he never gives me presents because he believes that hugs and kisses and words are much more meaningful than presents are (I didn't ask him, but he said something like that in a conversation.)

I absolutely agree, but I think he’s lacking something that most men have – the knowledge that girls get excited and pleased when they receive a special gift from their loved one . . . whether it’s a flower or an accessory or even a little love note.

One day I asked my lover hesitantly why he doesn’t give me presents. I told him that I don't think it's so difficult. He said something like: “I hate it when people give me meaningless things that end up everywhere and take up so much space and end up becoming trash. It wastes my time.”

Is it fair that he doesn’t give me gifts for this reason?

For the record I am not a scientologist, just concerned.
So, I heard on the news today that in Germany officials are trying to ban scientology. Saying that scientology is not a religion but a cult.

I am deeply worried about this a see a bit of a pattern.

Scientology had bad press with Katie Holmes and her husband, in the US.

If Germany succedes in declairing Scientology a cult those in America will be offended and relieved, what willl happen next is scientologists will come out and say how great their religion is, then ANTI scientologists will come out and say how it is abusive and brainwashing. The US government will look into Germanies reasons for decairing it a cult and will decide that it is in fact a cult and not a religion.
Next the US will ban it's first religion by decairing it a cult.
Once this door is opened it will be easier to declare religions cults and this will be done more often. Many will be banned in the US. We will still THINK we are free.

The next day the wolf walked further along the road. He came to the house of bricks which the third little pig had built.

So he huffed and he puffed and he huffed and he puffed. But the house of bricks did not fall down.

The wolf was very angry, but he pretended not to be.

So the next morning the third little pig set off for Farmer Smith's field at five o'clock. He filled his basket with turnips. Then he hurried home before it was six o'clock.

The wolf climbed on the roof. Then he began to come down the chimney.

The little pig took off the lid from the pot. Into the pot fell the wolf, with a big splash. And that was the end of the wolf.

The third little pig was too clever for him.

I mean some people always find Christmas humor bad, but when they are with friend or sitting alone reading a magazine and see Christmas comics in a magazine they laugh, but when some other person asks questions that are humorous about Christmastime they blow up? Other holidays they can find humor but at Christmastime they suddenly have a bout of non-humor and jump all over people who find humor in everything?
