Replace God with Allah, Jahova, Yahweh, Vishnu, Buddha as appropriate:

Muslims: Yes
Christians: No
Jews: He can but once created, he can move it.
Hinduist: Vishnu is the rock.
Buddhist: He is sitting on it.

Do u secure your eyes by not looking opposite sex. Do you know that seeing/gazing/starring opposite sex intionally is the Zina of eyes. Most of our sins come through the path of eyes. For modesty of heart who takes care of this important issue.

I'm going to talk to my mom and elders but not yet.

I want to do it, but I want to serve jehovah at the same time...
I want to aux. pioneer and then again I want to do sports.
I know it's the right choose if I go with aux pioneer because
then I wouldn't even think about doing sports, because I have aux. pioneered for 5 months straight last year, and enjoyed it a lot. what should I do to make the right decision?

..well, my fairly new roommate who has dimples and is really cute blinks incessantly while eating oatmeal. He has a two new t-shirts that are blue and the most recent one is 96% cotton and 4% lycra for a stretchy muscle fit.

Do you think he's gay.......? Oh, he speaks with a low voice, but sometimes says things like "dude, your thighs are bulky".

This has something to do with the discussion I had with a friend of mine, her insisting on the three kings. Please if u must, back up your answers with Bible passages or any relevant material that you have.

1. All Gods in all religions actually exist.
2. Every God in every other religion besides yours does not exist. Yours is the only God out of the many thousands that exist.
3. All Gods including yours does not exist.

Whats more likely? Or if you dont see this as a matter of probablility we can use the surprise principle. Really simple we make an observation and see which hypothesis best supports the observation.
O = Observation H= Hypothesis

O - There are thousands of Gods in hundredes of religions.
H1 - All Gods exist
H2 - Only my God exist all the others are false
H3 - No Gods exist

Which hypothesis best supports the observation. Or which observations would be a "Surprise" if it were true.
I.e. Based on the Observation it would be a surprise if H1 were true. Therefore O favors H2 and H3 over H1. What does O favor more between H2 and H3. What would be more of a surprise if it were true.

I'm currently reading "Religious Literacy" by Stephen Prothero and I'm getting the impression that denominational jealousy and intellectual dishonesty have been two of the religion's greatest destructive elements, ( ... of religion in the United States.)

What are your thoughts on these attitudes as contributors of religious demise and what other self-destructive mechanisms or attitudes do you recognize as adding to the ill health of theism ?

Honestly, when people say and believe that "It is mans [sic] place to govern our country. God created a female to walk beside him not to govern him", is it time to just say 'check please' and go live on some desert island somewhere.

And does anyone have the Bible verse that says only men can be President of the United States?
