we obviously don't do a lot of things in the old testament anymore like sacraficing our children, not eating certain things, so what about everything else? Why should we follow anything in the bible? And what do we follow or not follow....

In accepting the need for exclusive divine revelations of spiritual truth, does a believer reject the idea that self is good enough to receive personal divine revelations of spiritual truth?

Many people who say homosexuality is a sin say this because it goes against God's plan for humanity. The bible says the purpose of sex is to show love and reproduce. Homosexuality is inherently a "sin" because it produces no offspring. Well, if this is true, this also makes masturbation, anal sex, and oral sex sins, even if practiced between heterosexual partners, sins because none of these make children. If people want to say that homosexuals are sinners, they also have to say that they themselves are guilty of the same sinning. (Everybody masturbates, and if you say you don't, you're lying.)

Well, I know for a fact that all of you have eaten at least 1 hamburguer in your life. BUT, SURPRISE! That one hamburger has been mind-controlling you all this time.

Why, do you ask? Well, those sesame seeds use nano technology to send electric pulses to brain-wash you.

IS THERE ANY OTHER REASON FOR THE SESAME SEEDS TO BE ON THE HAMBUGER'S BREAD?

Conspiracy? You decide. If you think this is BS, it's probably because you had a hamburger these days and the seeds are controlling your thoughts, and I think God is responsible for this.

It was last night, and here is what it was:

So it was me and my best friend, David, we call him "DaveO," though. We were walking in New York City, but nobody was there, it was all empty. On every sign, bench, billboard, newspaper, everything said this: 6 days, 5 hours, 43 minutes," but it would change every minute. It got down to 5 days exactly, me and DaveO were still walking around, then everything turned to fire, and flashed, and NYC was back to normal, people, cabs, planes, everything. The last thing in my dream was me picking up a newspaper that said, "6 days, 5 hours, 43 minutes." Then I woke up.

I think we're in for something big, and God is going to destroy something.

What a joke! A five year old who was supposed to destroy Israel and all of the "infidels", please! It is now proven for sure, beyond a shadow of a doubt that Islam is based on nothing but lies from the pits of Hell.

I just want to thank God for all of his wonderful blessings.
For giving me hope when there was none. For loving me when I was unloveable. And for never never never giving up on me even when I gave up on him! Praise his precious name! And thank you God for all the wonderful brothers and sisters out there!

God is, well, God, I dont know everything but I would think he/she would. God knows how everything is going to turn out...so back to the beginning, why go through the whole choice thing when he could just fix it so that we do everything as he supposedly wanted in the Bible.

I can not believe the cynical, rude, selfish, and name-calling responses I got. Everyone JUMPED on me becuase I said why can't you give $1 to someone other than yourselves. A reputable organization, charity, in your community, even your church.

I am so depressed right now.. Am I totally alone in this? I help others every single second I get. Why do we live in such a selfish world? People in other countries are living on less than $15 a YEAR and there are so many rich people in our country who don't give a damn. $1 could help change someones life.

There are charities where you can pay for a new school, a training center for women to get jobs, a chicken, cow, or goat to produce food and income for famlies. ( All in other countries ).

Why does NO ONE CARE ?

I found this article very scary! Remember, chipping everyone starts with the few who have no choice.

http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2006/8/21/232558.shtml

VeriChip Corp, based in Delray Beach, Fla., and described by the D.C. Examiner as "one of the most aggressive marketers of radio frequency identification chips," is hoping to convince the Pentagon to allow them to insert the chips, known as RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chips under the skin of the right arms of U.S. servicemen and servicewomen to enable them to scan an arm and obtain that person’s identity and medical history. The chips would replace the legendary metal dog tags that have been worn by U.S. military personnel since 1906.

After 9-11, there seemed to be increased tension between Muslims and the other races, even here in Singapore which has enjoyed racial harmony for a long time.

Should MUIS and Muslims in Singapore do more to enable the other races to understand the very nature of Islam, and how the teachings affect the lives of our fellow Muslim friends?

I was just on the phone with a friend of mine and in the background they were having a debate about this topic. One side of the debate was arguing quite passionately that Catholicism is not true Christianity. Try to explain your answer.

After some of the posts I have seen tonight against non-believers, one of which out-right told atheists to commit suicide...others trying to find whatever proof they can that atheism and non-belief in general are what is wrong with this world...

My question is, to those prejudiced people, do you even know how much GOOD many atheists and other non believers have contributed to our world?

You want some truth of us, this video is pretty good... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdVucvo-kDU

To think that some would discredit all that some people have done that has helped us all. Things that the prejudiced people themselves have benefited from or would one day help their grandchildren. The things that many of these people have invented or discovered, they did not care what religion anyone is, they did it to help all of their people, human kind in general. They have also given their lives as troops, donated organs to save a life, helped with causes that save lives...

Hate us or not, we have many great people.

I did not know that, it's a much higher percentage than I expected.

And why are all these other religions hardly discussed around here if there's so many followers? I asked about Baha'i a few days ago, and only a handful of people knew what I was talking about.
