I know this is kind of spell begging but I need some help. An ex-friend of my family is destroying my family. He influenced my father to divorce my mother and sent her to jail on fake charges. I need something to get him away from my dad and lessen his influence. I know his name and know exactly what he looks like. I don't have a pic of him though. I do know where he lives, but its very far and I don't know when/if I'll get there. What can I do? Thanks

PS. I'm rather report happy so any BS comments will be reported. If you want to offer sympathy thats OK. Thanks.

is dating. should i confront my sister and her boyfriend after school and tell them this is HARAM!! My sister is muslim, so she should know that this is immoral and my parents would never approve of this. should i also tell my parents that she has a boyfriend so that can save her soul from an etnierty of hell? Why the hell do muslims date when it is very immoral?!! Dating always leads to sex and if i dont do something now she is going to end up in trouble.

I have a friend who was raped ONE time and she has never gotten over it.This past 2 weeks she talked of suicide. It has been so in her pores of her soul that only a miracle could take it from her. i saw a documentary a few nights ago and it spoke of soviet girls that were sex slaves and are raped 20 times a day. Then I saw the scene change and a girl escaped from the slave owners and went home to her dying younger brother. She had NO MONEY, NO PARENTS, NO DRS CARE FOR HER YOUNG brother. She did the unthinkable. To get money for his care SHE WENT BACK TO BE A CALL GIRL. I wept in my heart for days. Would my Jesus curse this girl ? NO WAY! Is it OK to do what she did ? No way.But His heart yearns for her in deep compassion. What to do for her ? We have to empty our pockets for her and bring her home. Shes desperate with no means at all. I go on in my 360 about this. I ask all of you.....do you really think Jesus holds this against her ? ( I say...no way..no way... )

Here is a quote I pulled from one of the previous questions from Gloria V.

"Actually, He has revealed Himself as the creator of the universe. It's called read the Bible. Please don't post things like this. They're offensive to Christians, like me."

Please note, this is NOT A ******* CHRISTIAN WEBSITE! It offends me that Christianity is trying to force its beliefs into every aspect of the world. Religion is a dying race, it has outlived its usefulness and should be erradicated. All religion is is spirituality mixed in with the supernatural. The supernatural is for people to stupid to think and the spiritual is for people too lazy to think.

i understand everyone think his religion is the true one. but with this one (islam) it's exception. i am not guessing, or thinking or suggesting it's true. I know it's true.
it's true just like how u see the sun appear in the sky that this religion is truly from the God who created you.
(speaking from personal exprience and a miracle)

brothers, will you still deny Islam?

I just watched a documentary that claims Christmas and Easter are pagan holidays that were adopted by early christians. Easter was a pagan fertility festival that involved orgies and virgin sacrifice. Pagan rituals were based on seasonal / celestial events and the pagans used the first day of spring (spring equinox) for this. The main fertility symbols were the egg and the rabbit (as in, "they reproduce like rabbits"). I was skeptical at first, but then I started thinking about eggs and rabbits and how those two things DO bring to mind fertility (I grew up on a farm and rabbits really do just have sex all day!), and I could think of nothing that they would have to do with Jesus!

From the internet:
The ancient goddess, Eostre, a Saxon deity who symbolized new life and fertility, was the key symbol of this celebration which was also known as Ostara.

Does anyone know if any of this is true and what bunnies and eggs have to do with Jesus and God? Are we worshipping pagan gods!?

My parents were Jehovah's Witnesses when I was younger and I was forced to practice their religion. This gave me some problems later in life when I rejected their religion.

What are your opinions about Jehovah's Witnesses? Especially want to hear from people who have Jehovah's Witness parents but themselves are not Jehovah's Witnesses.

All of us in this section of yahoo would take a moment later when we leave our computers and are all by ourselves and ask this question: God if you are real whoever you are,and whatever the truth is would you reveal it to me? And see what happpens. If you do this for real it would be nice to hear from you. You could post an answer and add your results later before this question closes. Thanks for participating I'm really interested in the results.

I have asked many uncomfortable questions of Moslems and received much abuse from them, as expected. It is a harsh intolerant religion. Now I want to ask this of Christians: How can you, who preach we should love our enemies and turn the other cheek, agree to the invasion of small countries, bombing their cities, destroying their water and electricity suplies (and so indirectly their hospitals) and killing thousands of women and children? How would we like it if it was done to us? (Do unto others as you would be done unto you?). And all this on the flimsiest of reasons, which keep changing as they are shown to be false?

True, our troops went in after the destruction and are doing their best to bring some relief, but it is too late and they are reaping the accumulated hatred. Surprised? The US is a Christian country. Should we allow our presidents to do these acts on our behalf?

i am muslim myself. and i will tell you, if you don't want to become muslim, then take Johava witness. they could be the closest one to the truth. however they still have mistaken that God has a son.

the problem with those who disbelieved Jesus or Moses or Muhammad is because they refues to listen, and insult the prophets of God of being liars, wrong, and witches. be open mind and listen to what other people want to say. maybe what they want to say will save you from a painful Hell, but u don't know.

The last time I checked, God has not revealed himself as the creator of the universe. God seems to only exist in a person's beliefs and in their faith. Which is exactly what "faith" is. A belief in a God when there is no physical or actual proof.

Carl Sagan said this on his show 'Cosmos'...

“Our ancestors looked at the intricacy and beauty of life and saw evidence for a great designer. The simplest organism is a far more complex machine than the finest pocket watch. And yet pocket watches don’t spontaneously self assemble or evolve in slow stages on their own from say, grandfather clocks. A watch implies a watchmaker. There seemed to be no way, in which atoms spontaneously fall together and create say, a dandelion. The idea of a designer is an appealing and all together human explanation of the biological world. But as Darwin and Wallace showed, there is another way. Equally human and far more compelling.”

The muslim people i know , date but they dont intend to marry that person because they are too afraid to tell their parents that they were dating. I think it is mean for the guy to say he loves her but then turns his back any marry someone else.
