He's in his early 60s, Scottish (but I don't think would appreciate Scottish-themed presents), has a sense of humour but dirty presents would NOT be appropriate. Price limit €10 (would probably buy about the same as US$10). I don't know anything else about what he's interested in, unfortunately (I only just started work here...) Thanks!

Why do some people feel free to try evangelise others when they have have little or no research or understanding of things outside their limited square of knowledge?
Eg. some fundamentalists like to refer to the 10 commandments in condemning/judging others, without even knowing there are 300+ MORE commandments Moses received at Mount Sinai during his 40 days up there. They also don't fully understand how or why the 10 commandments were applied because they don't know what the Talmud taught or even know what the Talmud is. Then they say they understand the Old Testament (which is entirely Jewish), without knowing they interpret it fundamentally different from the original Jewish writters (eg. many Christians don't even realise that no Jews believe in eternal hell and it's never been part of Jewish teaching).
So if someone claims to know what fate awaits others, why is it so hard to RESEARCH first before condemning others?

I mean, you've already be eagerly awaiting his return for 2000 years. Will their still be Christians preaching the immenant return of Jesus in the year 4007? 10,007? Or do you think there will be some point when Christians as a whole say, "If he hasn't come by now he never will. Maybe we were wrong."

This is one of many that truly have the right to as evidenced by the Quran, what do you think of this fatwa?
http://theamericanmuslim.org/tam.php/features/articles/fatwa_freedom_of_belief_minority_rights_in_muslim_countries/
As for the second question, minority rights under Muslim rule is summed up in the rule “for them (minorities) are rights like ours and on them are responsibilities like ours.”
Furthermore, the Qur’an clearly protects the freedom of religion (Al-Baqarah: 256). It also protects the right of worship and respects all places of worship (Al-Hajj: 40).
On the outreach issue, the Qur’an does not forbid engagement in respectful and peaceful dialogue with others, especially the People of the Book, provided that neither side exploit the illiteracy or dire financial need of others so as to psychologically manipulate them in the name of outreach.

I am not a fan of Christmas decorations to begin with. Whoever said red and green actually looked good together anyway? It is my first christmas in my own home with my husband, and I decided not to put up any decorations. 1.) I don't like them. 2.) We don't have any, and can't afford to buy some. 3.) There is no room, we have a small house.4.) We have so many places to be on Christmas Eve and Day, we won't be home at all. I will put them up once we have children, and I still buy for everyone and go visit and enjoy the holiday, but my whole family thinks I am scrooge for not putting up at least a tree. What do you think? Has anyone else decided not to put up a tree when it is just adults in the house?

when I get close to a lady and want to be honest and open, I always wonder if I should tell her that I like looking at men on the net. also want to perform oral sex on them. I am mostly straight, but can not deny the other. At what point in a relationship should I tell a woman about this? She may freak!

I was born in the 80's, and life in the 90's was soooo different. This has nothing to do with technology, I love it, I love being connected to the internet 24/7 and owning an Ipod. I'm talking about that feeling you got back in the 90's.....
Here are some examples...
90's Christmas--- You got that jolly feeling in your bones.
00's Chrstmas--- All I see is a damn pine tree in my living room.
90's TV--- Best cartoons, NICKELODEON, Pay Per View, Disney
00's TV--- Horrible stupid cartoons, so un-real, THEY DEMOLISH NICKELODEON STUDIOS, Disney sucks
90's Hip Hop--- Catchy, Pop-like, mainstream
00's Hip Hop--- Boring, either violent or comes with a stupid dance (soulja boy, lean wit it rock wit it)
90's Video Games--- VERY ADDICTING, basic but fun
00's Video Games--- CONFUSING, EXPENSIVE
NOT TO MENTION, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE GAS PRICES!
So who's/what's to blame? What happened in 2000? Was it George Bush? Was it 9/11/01? It feels like the feeling in everything is gone away

How can we as Muslims reach them and show them that their cultural customs and teachings are wrong? How do we get the idea into their heads that their mullahs are wrong and lying to them? And that Fatwas, at least 30 in number, have been issued against them based on Islam? Their actions are against Islam, and though my voice is small it is joining thousands of others that are struggling to be heard. If possible, I'd definately be all for going on TV and shouting it to the world. I'd be more than happy to become a target of them. Islam states to save a life is to save all of humanity. If they came after this woman who is shouting from her lungs that they are wrong and she refuses to listen to them, maybe it can save others. How can we get it through to them? And how do all of these fatwas against them and what they stand for make you feel?

Every single time I imagine a world of atheism, it's like looking into the past. Every single time I imagine a world of pure religion it's like looking into the future. Both places are non-existent. Existence consists of nothing. The universe is blank. All life is blank. The only choice a human has is between blank and blank. You may change what blank is, but it will always be blank, and all blank shares an equation. You may contradict it in any way you want, but there is no change to perfection. Perfection makes no mistakes; thus perfection is perfect always.
Blank plus Blank is Blank.
Blank minus Blank is Blank.
Blank times Blank is Blank.
Blank divided by Blank is Blank.
All Blank that is, is Blank.
All Blank that isn't, is Blank.
Blank is Blank.
Blank is perfection. ......

Why can't I read the bible exclusively and be a true christian? How did people learn "the truth" before the watchtower/JWs came to be?
"Let us face the fact that no matter how much Bible reading we have done, we would never have learned the truth on our own. We would not have discovered the truth regarding Jehovah, his purposes and attributes, the meaning and importance of his name, the Kingdom, Jesus' ransom, the difference between God's organization and Satan's, nor why God has permitted wickedness." (Watchtower 12/1/1990, pages 19)
"Thus the Bible is an organizational book and belongs to the Christian congregation as an organization, not to individuals, regardless of how sincerely they may believe that they can interpret the Bible." (The Watchtower, Oct. 1, 1967. p. 587.)

I don't get it. Some of them seem to actually enjoy acting like they are superior to us? If I see a straight guy that's hot, I'm like oh nice, but it doesn't turn me on that much. I'd much more attracted to hot gay guys, because it's a turn-on if they want me too!

I have a co-worker that says this all the time. I can't help but feel, if you have to throw that little statement in with almost everything you say; maybe you are a little racist. Or should I say ignorant and going more on what you hear than what you have experienced for yourself. What are your thoughts?

Honestly i want an answer as to how this can be explained without forgetting the fact that God knows everything before hand and God never makes mistakes. So if that is true, why would he create a situation that would require Cain to procreate with his sisters? I can't figure out any alternatives to explain how we ever got beyond Adam, Eve and Cain.
