Religion & Spirituality - 22 June 2006

I know, all you people who define your own moral perfection and who don't need God will no doubt pummel me for this question. I just don't know why there are so many either offensive questions or answers about aspects of my faith. I just read someone refer to the Blessed Mother as "God's $lut." If it was just one question or answer in a string of valid ones, I'd get over it. But there's no balance, it just seems predominantly hateful.

I am a Muslim and I love Allah so much. I feel Him keeping my company, but sometimes spirituality does not save me from feeling so utterly lonely; do you ever feel this? What do you do then?

Why do Muslims and Muslim nations despise Jews so much? Why has Iran vowed to wipe them off the map?

Some says she's a prostitute. Movies say she carries the child of Jesus. But i'm not going to conclude anything until a reasonable answer comes.

everytime i perform prayer, i can't held noticing that glow of light on the sides of my prayer carpet. At first, I thought it was just the effect of the color of my prayer rug, but then I also noticed it on other prayer rugs of different color. The color of the glow of light is sky blue, sometimes it's faint, sometimes it's bright.. I also see it on people and animals, of different colors, but not always.

There is a verse in Quran that forbids people from marrying the wives of prophet Muhammed after his death. Yet, many of his widows were so young (under 20) when he died at age 63! Those include Aisha, Hafsa, Safeya, Rayhana... and others

What was the reason for god to forbid such young ladies from marrying?

I have always had some memories of my birth. My memories were always really vivid as well as some emotions of before then of peace and flating in darkness in a liquid. When I was a child of about 3-4 ish I used to scare my mum by telling her about how I had almost decided not to be born because of the pain of dying. Scarey because my mum nearly lost me during her pregnancy three times. I am interested to find out about this phenomenon and if there are other people who have experienced it too.

Hello :-)

Some people feel/think/believe that they are connected to non-earthian sources, that they are not earthian "inside".

Do you feel/think/believe that you are a STARSEED yourself?

How did such a perception come to your awareness?
What are the non-earthian sources you feel you are connected to?
Where do you feel you are from?
How do you live with such a perception in your everyday earthian life?
Do you know other people similar to you in this field?
What words would you prefer to use instead of "starseed"?

Please feel free to express all what you need about your "starseedness" :-)


Yours friendly,
Khaeos :-)

Most of the muslims I know support India whenever India and Pakistan play a cricket match! Anyway, this question is not just about cricket.

Ok I’ve heard the scriptures and so on, please don’t reiterate them for me…what I really want to know is how are we going to end the discrimination and violence, something I am hoping most of us can agree is not acceptable. It seems that the belief and teaching that homosexuality is wrong to such an extensive degree and marketing it as more of an abomination then any other sin listed in the bible is only perpetuating the problem. Openly gay people face the threat of being beaten up or murdered, refusal of employment and places to live, and loss of parental and community support simply because that they are known to be homosexual.
Hate the sin love the sinner? How can we effectively separate the two and actively put this into practice? How can we show the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) community that they are loved and accepted by the rest of humanity? Condemning their actions isn’t working, obviously, otherwise they wouldn’t still be crying out for love and acceptance (just a note here: not all transgender people are homosexual and there are LGBT people that are Christian). So, where do we start? In the classroom where young minds are forming? Instead of teaching that homosexuality is ok since it seems some Christians are very opposed to the idea, will you as a person or a Christian be willing to support or initiate a movement for schools to teach kids that it is not ok to harass, beat up, or discriminate against LGBT people (or anyone for that matter), that everyone deserves respect regardless of their differences, and that no one has the right to enforce their religious beliefs on others? Would you be willing to put pressure on teachers and authorities not to condone or ignore this kind of harmful behavior? If so, would you be willing to also promote teaching this not only in schools, but in churches, and (or at least) around the family table? Would you be willing to oppose religious leaders who televise and publish anti-gay material? If not, what other ideas or suggestions do you have on how we might solve this problem?
Please be reasonable. Don’t offer that they should just keep quiet and go back into the closet as a solution. This is teaching people not to speak the truth.

And remember, if human beings are treated with respect, they often respond in kind.

Without asking anyone anything - He would around him and see :

- A people that prostrate before GOD (like Jesus (PBUH) used to put his head on the floor in prostration)

- A people that are circumcised (like Jesus (MPBUH) and his disciples were.

- A people that gives voluntary and compulsory Alms - as Jesus(MPBUH) did.

- A people that that fights injustice - like he and his disciples did.

- A people that FASTS - like Jesus (MPBUH) did.

- A people that believes in the Unique ONENESS of GOD - that he has no partner - like Jesus (MPBUH) did.

Question:
NOW WHO WOULD HE IDENTIFY AS "JESUS' FOLLOWERS"?

Gen.1:25-27
"And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and the cattle after their kind ... And God said, Let us make man ... So God created man in his own image."

Gen.2:18-19
"And the Lord God said it is not good that man should be alone; I will make a help-meet for him. And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them."

See the contradiction?No?..How about looking closer.The first verse says God made the animals first.Then later it says God made the animals after man to keep him company and man would name these new animals that God had just made for him.Look it up yourself.So why does the Bible contradict itself from the very beginning?And I am still trying to figure out what "help-meet" means...
