In my country we do and frankly I'm sick of it. This month I spent so much money buying Eid gifts for my family, then Christmas gifts for my Christian friends and now New Year gifts for just about everyone.

This is the last year I'm participating in this nonsense.

I once heard the following line in a movie:

"Everybody wants to go to heaven but no one wants to die."

Your view of this line?

Autistic children are not known for being cooperative and if an activity is not to their liking, they will avoid it, even to their own detriment. How do Muslim parents deal with an offspring who refuses to learn and obey the tenants of their religion? Also, some Autistic children are very high functioning and are often not diagnosed until adulthood. Since people are severely punished and even stoned to death in many Islamic countries for doing something that is considered an insult to Allah or for bringing dishonor to the family, isn't it possible that some of these people being stoned are high functioning Autistics who can not help but behave in the manner that they are being punished for?

The halo or aura often depicted above or around Christ. What is the etymology of this.
I know etymology is not the correct word, but its defines the essence of the idea I’m after.

I have been in the music ministry as pianist for over 10years. But I lost my track when I had a boyfriend 5years ago, it was a typical demanding and insecure first love relationship that lasted for 2years but after about 2 years of separation we got back together april of this year and we're already planning on getting married. He included me in his application for work abroad over a fiance visa.. i was supposed to turn over my application october but last week of august he broke up with me for another girl. Suddenly all the plans were just gone.

Then I met a christian friend who invited me over to teach on a music program for the street kids here and helping out has really accelerated my recovery. God dealt with me face to face while teaching for the center. Healing, forgiveness, deliverance.. And I just felt all the pain was erased... And by God's greatest grace He lifted me up..

Then I met this christian guy from another place.. same country but one plane ride away...

Two statements on the nature of God. Neither is superior. Which do you prefer?
"Every Living thing is part of the Mind of God"
"God is the sum total of every living thing."
They might seem to mean the same, but there are subtle differences.

Hypothetical situation. If a girl came to your church one night, and looked in need of spiritual help, but was inappropriately dressed, how would you react, and how do think your priest/pastor/imam/rabbi etc. should react. Would you turn her away, or let her stay?

Ralph Waldo Emerson [19th century] writes of the mild nature of the Anglican Church, which in my experience is very present today. There is a diversity of opinion in various matters; some might say too much diversity, but at least no one is told what to think.
But what did the Anglican Church do with previous dissenters, such as the Quakers? And when did it start to get its mild reputation?

I am a 30 + crossdrsser and i get my nails professionaly done and i have gone to makeup school and hair styling school. I don't just dress up to look like a truck driver in a dress. I most of the time pass for a real female when out shopping and such.this brings me all the joy in the world. I was just wondering how females primarily feel about this as I am heterosexual. I don't want to be female I just love looking like one.

I've heard many Christians say that if a person never hears about Jesus while they're alive, then they will not have to go to Hell because of it. Wouldn't it be better not to tell anyone about Jesus so that all people may have the benefit of salvation when they die on an unconditional basis, the way it was supposedly given? After all, so many Christians say that Jesus’ sacrifice was given unconditionally and willingly because He loves us exactly as we are: imperfect. People have a hard time believing things that they cannot see for themselves and Jesus knows that too. It only seems logical that it would be better to let someone go without knowing about Jesus so that when they meet him face to face in death, they can see He is definitely real and make a truly informed decision based on something that is obviously fact (the evidence would be right there looking at them).

The moment you tell someone about Jesus, you open up the possibility of that person going to Hell. Why do that?

Is that just a joke from Saturday Night Live, or is that a real belief?

What do the women think will be waiting for them when they commit murder/suicide?
Do they expect the same reward, 72 virgin men?

Is this belief written anywhere?

We know "Knowledge and Wisdom" and abilities 'to do' or 'not able to do' are purely the attributes of Human beings! This is also inclusive of many other elaborative attributes which are found in person we live with on our daily bases.

Also when we talk about Supernatural abilities, strength comparisons, laws of nature or science, and other attributes we could define here, are just explainable because have something to do with people. We derive them from our fellow human being's nature, daily abilities, performances and any other sorts of credibilities.
This means explanation about any being is originating from its sources. We describe people whom we live with in contrast with others, 'haves' and 'have not' concept. This means we describe anything within the levels of our own understanding and environment we live in and the people we live with.
How strong can we really get to the right answer about Who is GOD and How GOD is!
