But I heard from several people that their are many things muslims do and possibly say to you before the actual marriage. I was wondering what these things are. I heard their was a whole list. Are their questions they ask you? Are their things one MUST do?
Im curious...help.

He was also excommunicated. Mussolini was an atheist. Stalin was an atheist. Himmler was an occultist. Franco was Catholic. The KKK is Protestant. Tojo was shintoist. what religion was Mao? What about Pol Pot? Is it possible that these men had things in common besides their views on religion?

Also does it have to do with science or science fiction.

Why is Scientology not recognised as a religion around the world? For example some European countries will not give them religious status.

Lastly do Scientologists believe in God?

Thank you kindly for your thoughtful replies.

Ok well i am Catholic which means i do believe that God created everything.. But sometimes i wonder who created God? And if it was the "Big bang theroy" like most say how was it created? I mean how were those astroids things created? So this question is not just for believers in God but for everyone... Something has to create something.. Ah i just think about it and get confused.. ANyone else ever think about this?

We've been classified as lazy, fat, stupid, stubborn, racist, hicks, everything else in the planet. Why do people hate the US so much? I'm raised in a European family who loves and embraces the American culture. I am not overweight, stupid, racist, and my stubborness is that of an average teenager. I've lived in Europe and America, and I love both societies. Why does the rest of the world choose to hate us so much and decide to hate the American people as well as the country?

Sometimes, I can understand. We're a fast-paced, commercial society that's one of the most powerful in the world. Our foreign policy is frankly ridiculous, and the current government has made some MAJOR mistakes. But is that justification for hating all of the American PEOPLE?

Comments from anybody? I'd like to hear from people from around the world. And please keep it clean and intellectual. I don't want any comments that just spread hate. Back up your arguments with reasoning.

Outside of the Bible there is very little evidence of Jesus living. There is a list of historians that briefly mention Jesus.

I was wondering did any of these historians live at the same time as Jesus, and also lived near, or saw Jesus. If so if you could please give their name, and a link to a website that at least estimates when they lived.

Also, if you want to throw in any other hard evidence of the Bible, outside of the book itself I would be interested to hear it.

Thanks.

I am a 24 year old married mother to a boy and a girl. My mother is 44 years old. Ever since I can remember, she has been negative most of the time. When my daughter was born (her first grandchild) she was there and she did make an effort to change. But these days it seems like no matter how many good things I do, the moment I screw up she turns against me. She already isn't speaking to my sister or father and hasn't for a long time. Recently her house was broken into, and I drove all the way from my side of the city (the very end) all the way to her side to be there for her and show my support. As well as help clean up. My daughter had gotten injured enough to take her to the ER where she required stitches, and we didn't get home until 5 AM. My brother had final exams and needed somebody to take him to his testing. I was going to, but couldn't even with an alarm clock from having been at the hospital. That was a week ago and my mom is still angry with me.

Now I know you think that your afterlife is going to be better, but I'm talking about your years on Earth. Do you think that somehow since you are "with Jesus" that your life is better than most.

I'm not talking in material terms, I mean are you happier than the average person solely because you believe in your version of God?

So if I say I have "faith" that Jews are the spawn of Satan or if I have "faith" that men should be able to take multiple wives or if I have "faith" that condoms give people AIDS, then YOU are obligated to RESPECT my beliefs and HOW DARE YOU ask for proof?

Struggling to make ends meet on a first-call salary, the pastor was livid when he confronted his wife with the receipt for a $250 dress she had bought."How could you do this?!"

"I was outside the store looking at the dress in the window, and then I found myself trying it on," she explained. "It was like Satan was whispering in my ear, 'You look fabulous in that dress. Buy it!'"

"Well," the pastor replied, "You know how I deal with that kind of temptation. I say, 'Get behind me, Satan!'"

"I did," replied his wife, "but then he said, 'It looks fabulous from back here, too!'"

For example, Muhammad married his son's wife

Amos 2:7

"Father and son use the same woman and so profane my holy name"

Islam: "a martyr shall receive 70 virgins in heaven"

Matthew 22:29 Jesus says "At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage, but will be like the angels"

Cutting a long story short...I have recently discovered that I have strong empathetic feelings for particular people. I have noticed links with the people I have this 'connection' with, such as broken families, and also the fact that the person involved opens doors for me. The recent one gave me a job in a line of work I never thought I was capable...teaching, and the first developed my interest in photography -something that I am now studying! (coincidence perhaps, but I feel too strongly about it) It's all very difficult to explain!
I have to say that these people seem to have done nothing but improve my life dramatically, however, I am aware that I am struggling to control the feelings I get from them, and I find myself in periods of depression - especially when I'm away from the person involved.

I'd like to learn how to control the feelings, and perhaps learn how to use them, if possible?
