Many seniors are on restricted diets & low fat is so boring. I was wondering if any of you just throw caution to the wind & eat the "bad" foods anyway, then keep your fingers crossed trhat your heart will hold out until you can digest it! Serious! Do you?

I'm Natirah-American. Both of my parents speak Spanish and I lived in a bi-lingual house until my parents seperated. Since then, I've been living in an English household. I grew up in Charleston so so I have a mixutre of a Gullah accent and a Spanish sounding accent. A gullah accent sorta sounds like Rihanna's speaking voice. Since currently I'm pale and lighter haired since it's winter, people think I'm a "poser" or whatever and constantly ask "Why is the white girl trying to be black?" or something like that. Anyway, I'm not Spanish and I don't want to keep having people being so rude about my accent. Not many people know about a Gullah accent so it's hard to explain to them. How can I get rid of my accent?

The KKK, Al Quida, Skin heads... basically my question is; What is your viewpoint when religious beliefs lead to violence and death? Does it makes you question your faith?

Doesn't that break one of the more fundamental (in fact the first) of the 12 commandments set forth in the old testament?

I AM THE LORD THY GOD, THOU SHALT NOT HAVE STRANGE GODS BEFORE ME.

And all you religious creeps follow jesus as if he were god, will he be the one judging you when the world ends or will it be god?

from my understanding of the whole thing, GOD IS RUNNING THE SHOW, not jesus.

God created man in His own image, but Adam and Eve only ate plants (Genesis 1:27-30) as did all the other people until after the Deluge (Genesis 9:3).

So what I want to know is, does God still have the herbivore teeth of Adam and Eve? Or did He give Himself new ones when He changed ours?

To have a big bang, you have to have material (matter) to go boom. All the matter that was available at the time had to come from somewhere? Also, when and where did time start, before or at the time of the big bang? My thinking is, time is relative to matter. The first atom represents the beginning of time. If you could, keep it simple. I understood the bang theory well enough to ask the question, which is about it. Thanks

So NOW, do you believe that a valid question with a valid appeal CAN be successful?

Islam is a word meaning surrender to Allah and Allah isn’t the muslim Lord; instead Allah is the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, my Creator and yours, the same God of Moses and Abraham, Budda, Jacob and the tribes, and John the Baptist and Jesus and Mohammed peace be upon them. Islam derives from the word “salamah” meaning to be at peace, security , safety therefore a muslim is a person that surrenders to whom; Allah. A muslim is a person that submits and obeys the law of Almighty Allah. Through the submission, a muslim obtains peace for themselves. You see the formula is very simple. When I surrender to the law, when I conform to the law and the legislation which is intended for me that means that is my natural disposition therefore I become a conformist. I am in order and harmony and by being in order and harmony, the things I am supposed to receive come to me. So when that is fully understood, it’s natural to be a muslim and unnatural not to be.
Islam has six beliefs; Belief in Allah, Allah’s angels, the books of Allah, the messengers of Allah, the Day of Judgement and the supremasy of the divine will.
Muslims have five basic duties they must perform known as the five pillars of Islam. They are
1.Shahadah (belief that Allah is the only One worthy of worship and that Mohammed Peace be upon him is His last Prophet
2.Establishment of prayer
3.Payment of Zakah (charity)
4. Sawm (fasting of Ramadan)
5.Pilgrimage to Meccah to all whom can afford it

A close friend of mine and i have been discussing lately if Hitler was a true genius just corrupted from power, or just an idiot, and we've both come up with the conclusion that if he hadn't corrupted under power he would have been a great leader. What other person could convince an entire nation that one denomination of religion was terrible, and that everyone associated with them was horrible too. Hitler could be defined as popular when he was younger. He was a born leader. I'm not saying I support anything Hitler did, on the contrary actually, but I'm curious to see who else sees him as a political genius.

If God is all knowing, he knew Satan would rebel, or knew of the danger with his ambitious character. He made him the beautiful and most powerful cherub, for a reason.

God predicts he will lose, and that also he will try and prevent Christs birth in Revelations, then into the fire he goes. If Satan is an angel, no doubt intelligent, he would know he cannot stop Christ, and he wouldn't even do the invasion of Earth to begin with, knowing in the end it will help Earth. To invade anyway knowing he is part of a divine plan, would be doing Gods work! Do they need Satan to destroy and play bad guy so you can wrap your hands around Jesus? After all, a good slave is one that gives in by free will.

Even God cannot ultimately predict what Satan will do, if he has free will. So obviously, the 2 cannot go hand in hand, unless Satan is forced to do what he does, or he was SOLELY made for the purpose to be an enemy, and then burn in a fire pit for ever and ever. Talk about a shitty destiny.
