It's pretty obvious by there remarks on this site that there only goal in life is to condemn anyone or anything that they do not have. Besides, I don't think hell can burn forever without any fuel.

If he created man with a free will and choice, does God know what choice will man make? If so, Does He know who will be good or bad?

I am writing a paper for a class and I would like to know how the Islamic calendar works? Do they have a regular cycle of sorts for how they attend prayer and do hoildays always fall on the same day?

I tend to equate it to be Gods biography more so then the bible.

COLORS OF INFINITY

The Mandelbrot set—someone has called it the thumbprint of God—is one of the most beautiful and remarkable discoveries in the entire history of mathematics. With Arthur C. Clarke as narrator and interviews with a number of notable mathematicians, including Benoît Mandelbrot, this program graphically illustrates how simple formulas can lead to complicated results: it explains the set, what it means, its internal consistency, and the revolutions in thought resulting from its discovery. Asked if the real universe goes on forever, Stephen Hawking defines its limit of smallness; the Mandelbrot set, on the other hand, may go on forever.

Well I still haev problems ..maybe not the same one's, but I have them... so does that mean I still have demons?

I've noticed some people on here simply put as an answer "You need help". Is it just me, or does anyone else think this seems like a subtle way of saying "You need psychiatric help because your beliefs don't agree with mine, therefore you are wrong." Are some people so set in their paradigms that they think certainty equals fact or reality? All parties are guilty of this, theists and atheists.

The leaders of this movement say that in the interest of not offending non-believers we should simply invert the 't' and then everyone would be happy. Does anyone have information regarding this well meaning group?

That is to say if you believe that angels are absent of free-will, a gift God only gave to Man. Angels only know the love of God and their sole, defining purpose is to serve The Father. If that is true, that would mean, for an angel, if God told an angel to take one step forward and they took one and a tenth steps forward than they have broken faith with their creator. Seems stringent and cold but absolutely necessary...for an angel I'd imagine. So we take Lucifer...God says WATCH mankind and he SPEAKS to mankind so now he's broken the one rule God had for his angels which was "Do EXACTLY what I say do" and he is expelled from Heaven. Being an Angel, he still loves God. Loving God is all he knew, and we all know the worst kind of behavior comes from thwarted love, especially if we believe what we did was from a good place. Satan told a blatant truth not knowing God meant "die" in another way. Let's not go feeling sorry for poor Satan, but could this be a possibility?

And though it was not illegal, I still feel awful. I've been crying and asking God to forgive me for what I did. I feel like I not only broke my heart, but also God's. How can I forgive myself?

This is a serious question. Are there other religions besides these three that are so violent in execution of their religious dogma?
Which others require violence and conquest?

There are Unicorns in the Bible. UNICORNS!!!!!!! How could anyone in thier right mind believe any of this stuff. It's all made up. Not just Christianity but all religions. IT'S MADE UP- its fake and will not lead you towards any truth. Is it because people are expecting an afterlife to make themselves feel better? Jesus himself probably never existed as he never left any writings. Plus instead of using his supposed "powers" to cure many of the diseases during his time he used his "powers" to curse a Fig Tree. What a douche-bag Jesus was!

Seriously, how could anyone actually believe that they are important enough, out of all the animals in the animal kingdom, to warrant themselves an "afterlife"? Talk about stupid! Those "near death experiences" we hear about are/were just hallucinations of a dying asphyxiated (choked) brain! It amounts to no evidence at all for an afterlife! So why? - Why do people believe in this unnecessary religious garbage?

Only the Semites or The Israelites and Arabs. Or they have a much more universal concept for it? I expect answers from Muslims(who best represents their beliefs)
and any unbiased scholarly answer will be appreciated.

Did you ever wonder about all of those that didn’t make it on to the Ark? It’s very unlikely that all but Noah’s family were pious. There must have been many thousands of people who were innocent but were still lost to the rains of 40 days and 40 nights. Scores of babies and toddlers far too young to have been considered sinners, all lost to God’s wrath. And yet rather than find room in the ark for them, they perished. Noah could have kicked the hippos off the boat, they’re nasty, ill-tempered animals anyway, surely their space would be better served to house 7 or 8 innocent children. But no, it was not to be.
So think about that. Rather than save the innocent, God chose instead to save animals. What does this say about saving endangered species? When the spotted owl controversy was raging, do you think God was in favor of the people that whose jobs were in jeopardy, or the owl whose ancestor rode on the ark? Shouldn't environmentalism be a Christian value?
