Logic is against him and he is losing the game.

At this rate he will only be left with the brain washed Muslims, who have to believe or die .

If you say that those 3 gods are one so in heaven you should see them as one God , but if you gonna see them as 3 different gods so please stop saying that you have only one God
Logic isn't it ?

I used to live out east and I've always wondered how some of the more oddly named towns came to be. Does anybody know how some of the more weirdly named English/New England town's names were thought up?

Does anybody have any more entertaining ones to share?

When a person with roots in one part of the world moves to another, is it more important to adapt to the new culture, or to hang on tightly to the familiar culture?

We watched a dvd last night; but my husband prefers seeing films at a movie theater. So, I promised him we'd go out to see a movie or two while he is on vacation this week.

How about you? Do you prefer staying at home and watching dvds or going out to the theater? What is the last film you saw at a theater?

Hi there. I put in a query earlier about this woman who seemed bent on breaking my marriage. ( http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhsNe1udtwQiYPWZUbpSSPTsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071219234018AAax8UB )

Here is my question today. Don't think I'm crazy, but I am a bit of a psychic. I've never asked nor recieved payment of any sort (don't believe in that!) but people have asked me many times to contact deceased loved ones, and I've been able to tell them direct confirming details. One lady told me (the deceased, I mean) what clothes her body had in the funeral, what song was sung, and who sung it (the lady who came to me for the reading) her favorite color, and a few other things about the asker that I had no way of knowing. This happens to me a lot. Usually I give a reading during the day, and in the night the deceased person comes to me and "shows" me things, pictures, scenes, memories, you name it. And so far, it's been almost 100% true and reliable. So that's my little intro.

Now this lady who did all wrong things with us asked me to give her a reading before all these things happened. And her great grandmother (aged 99 when she died) came thru. You may think I'm a kook but this woman told me things that I can't make up or know on my own. I am American and I don't know a single word of Punjabi, yet this lady showed me people speaking in the purist punjabi, and I remembered those words and asked my husband about them. Even he had to ask his elderly mother who confirmed the words and their meanings. Like Toba, she showed me that. A little kind of pond that appears in the desert after the rainy season. Or like the kind of houses they used to build on their land for marriages- mud huts which they then decorated, painting with their hands. Very beautiful, actually.

This this lady (the great grandmother) showed me many beautiful things that I feel like I experienced. It was one of the most incredible readings I've ever done. She showed me great memories from her childhood (circa 1900 or so). How her father (a farmer) used to take the crop to market, and come home with things the two girls loved like these colorful glass bangles. Once he even took her to the market with him, where she was surprised to see and hear much. He bought her a paan, she saw camels "dancing" (the handlers were singing and the camels had these ankle bracelets that sorta jingled...) her feeling of wonder. But then she saw a bad thing happening and never told anybody about it. A group of Afghani men killed a camel. She never forgot that, and never went back to that market again- at least not as a child.

She showed me things like how they used to crouch together in the thatched huts during the rainy season, surrounding the fire, and how some raindrops always found their way inside and sizzled on the fire. I actually SMELLED the floury and wholesome odor of the rotis cooking over that fire! Can you believe it?? It was really amazing. During the rainy season sometimes her distant relatives came in from the desert to visit and they visited and socialized.

I saw these things and lots more, some life lessons that she told me, like how to keep these sorts of memories like gems hidden in your heart so that you have a strength to draw on in your hard times (one of her children died when she was a young mother) believe me this old lady was really amazing.

Remember, I am American. I have no way of knowing all these things, yet everything I was privy to was REAL.

So here is my query: being that this is the great-grandmother of the woman who tried to break my marriage, I was assuming the message was for her. I mean, why else would this lady come to me in such an amazing way? But now I have broken relation with that woman, and I feel confident that was the right thing to do. But to whom do I give this reading?

Sorry for the long post, but the experience was singular and I had to add details to give you an idea of it. Please let me know your opinion of what I should do with all this info. I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

if, as you say your god is so loving and forgiving and will forgive any sin as long as you repent blah di blah, why then does the bible state that if you do not believe in him you will spend eternity in hell being tortured? doesn't that seem a bit extreme and cruel for someone so forgiving and loving?

After all, without it we would not be here. We would all have the same God and there would be no argument over whose God is the only true one.

CHRISTIAN Friends:
These questions having bona fide intentions – READ BEFORE YOU LEAP
- - - -

STATEMENT
Well, in comparison with Jewish & Muslim ideologies, Christians’ realities fail!

QUESTIONS
Q1- How everyone, good or bad, will be treated evenly & might be shown to Paradise?

Q-2 Why would God kill himself for His creation. Is not God powerful enough to decree instead? Are not the words of God good & strong enough to change what a God wants to change for humans?

Q3- If God lives & dies, is God a creation?

COMMENTARY
Christians are confused in so many sects already!

TRINITY COMPARISON with Judaism & Islam

Are not they aware of the Jewish religions concepts, especially when their half the book comprises of OLD TESTAMENT. Need not to mention the Muslim concepts, which are all ready in such a close proximity with the Jewish.

PS:
CHRISTIAN thoughts please (JEWISH & MUSLIM comments also welcome)!

No Offences Meant, No Offences Expected!

How then do you pass a compliment along to those individuals?
This belongs in the Senior section because I am a senior who wants responses from my fellow seniors. Others are always welcome to respond though.

I was reading/watching an interview with a celebrity recently and she said this:

"For me, the idea of God, or the idea of spirit, has nothing to do with religion. God connects humanity while religion separates it and I don't think that was ever the Creator's intention."

Do you agree or disagree? What are your thoughts?
