I live in the Southwest and I feel bad that many of the Alcohol related crashes are the result of a person of the Native American reservations here.

Now I have to say that not all Native Americans drink because I met plenty that dont. I met plenty with Masters degrees and PhDs so please dont tell me I'm racist.

But there are also so many that do and its costing lives.

Is there any Native American people or someone with knowledge about this shed some light on this topic.

Because I have spoken to numerous people here in Atlanta today that would like to have a fatwa issued against former Falcons coach Bobby Petrino.

I don't think any of them are Muslims.

they say a being from the fifth dimension could be right next to us, it is like us messing with the two dimensional creatures popping in and out of existence and seeing inside their world

I overheard someone talking, saying that if he heard that a guy listened and enjoyed listening to a certain singer he would automatically assume the other guy was gay. And on the other hand if this same someone heard that the other guy listened to a different certain band he would assume the other guy was straight. This just struck me as a bit weird that he would prejudge peoples sexual preference just on their taste in music. This made me curious as to what others thought on the subject, so...

•In your opinion, does listening to or enjoying certain singers/bands affect whether you are gay, bi, or straight?
•Would you automatically assume someone was gay, bi, or straight by their taste in music?
•Or are you of the opinion that music doesn't have anything to do with ones sexual preference (such as myself)?

They are all one in the same. They are all Abrahamic.
The bible and Qu'ran were written roughly about the same time.

Allah , God, Jehovah, they are all just names of the same God in different languages as even Christians say Allah in the Arabic speaking lands.

The Scriptures prophesy in 2 Peter 3 that in the last days "scoffers" (skeptics and mockers) shall arise encouraging people to turn away from God and walk after their own lusts. Within the last few years there have arisen many atheists, most notably Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris and Daniel Dennett, who are inadvertently fulfilling precisely what this prophecy says. Do you think that this may be a sign that we are indeed in the end times and the activities of these men are ironically a fulfillment of God's prophecy?

I was flicking around the channels and came to the God Channel. Timing was perfect as they were discussing films and half way though they came to the Golden Compass.

The general view was that it shouldn't be seen as the author was a devout atheist.

Do you feel that a film that may not go along with your beliefs should be avoided or should you be able to view other opinions if your belief is strong enough.

I recently went to play Bingo, and got really, really bored... so I decided to call on various dieties and see if any one particular diety responded more frequently than others (yes, I was also having a brandy...).

Guess which diety appears to have blessed me with a bingo?

Why were dinosuars not mentioned in the Bible? How did dinosuars even come to be did God create them and not tell us? If everybody came from Adam and Eve does that mean we are all the result of imbreeding? If God created people in his image than why does it seem like a lot of people think God is a white man when he could be any color or any sex? Back when Jesus was alive it was ok to say you talked to God but now if you say that people think you're crazy? God and Mary never had sex so doesthat mean Jesus was a clone of God?

I believe in God but some of the Bible seems made up.

in short, to my understanding it states that the big bang was caused by the collision of two other universes. so in a sense, it answers the question what happened before the big bang. it accounts for where all the matter in our universe came from. and it does all of this without invoking god or an intelligent agent into the discussion. will christians be satisfied with this theory and stop asking what caused the big bang? if so, should we expect a new line of question to arise concerning where the two colliding universes came from?
