Rebeca Martínez, died February 7, 2004.

Manar Maged died March 26, 2006

Did this malformed baby have a soul? What point did this create? What was God's purpose for letting this happen?

Both babies died; the first 18 months after surgery, the second, shortly after the surgery.

For added details, each undeveloped baby puckered it's lips when the mother breast fed the other baby. Quite distrubing isn't it?

Sadly, the malformed baby was not given a name...

An Islamic made can marry a woman or have premartial sex with her if she is not Islamic. An Islamic woman can only marry an Islamic man or one that has converted.

I have some unmarried islamic friends and they nail anything female and primate. So don't tell me different.

...religion allow me to convert to their religion? I am truly interested in their religion and have full faith in their beliefs. If so, will they treat me the same as all the rest of the fellow believers?

Are we just emotional or does it have to do with our soul fighting back with us!

If Jessica Alba, Carmen Electra, and Halle Berry wanted you to have a foursome with them; no strings attached and no one would ever find out if you didn't want them too, would you denounce your faith and join in with them?

despite your honest effort to really do something productive. Do you think that is a sign from somewhere (or something) trying to tell something?

I am not gay but I have friends and family that are. If the roles were reversed and you could not get married because you were not of the same sex and you wanted to be able to support your bf and child financially, medically and in other ways that only people of the same sex could how would you feel? Think about it.

I am willing to help people with their advance to yoga and direct them to the highest trance known as bhakti.

I've been over so many options. I already have a nonprofit organization which is spiritually based. I'm too old to expect much in the way of getting a college degree. I have to narrow down my options to this. I don't believe I have any choice. But, I need ideas and tips. Thanks!

Does it strike anyone else as odd that so many people spend time hating other faiths instead of loving their own? to me it seems like the insecure child who knocks the other children in a desperate attempt to build himself up? so to those out there who only visit this site to bash islam, christianity, or just religion in general.... is it just an insecurity in your own faith or lack there of?



ps i didnt mean to include only islam and christianity but those are the two i hear negative comments about the most

Best arguments against evolution?
Evolutionists do not have solid support from science when they say everything has “evolved”.

In fact, evolutionists who reject God and miracles have three of the biggest problems in the universe.

Problem No. 1
There is no scientific law that allows something to evolve from nothing. If there was nothing in the universe to begin with, obviously nothing could happen to cause anything to appear.

Evolutionists often try to duck this problem by saying that evolution is not concerned with the origin of life, only how life progressed after it appeared. But if you can't get something from nothing, it's pointless thinking you can accurately explain the next step. Juggle the figures any way you like, but without a Creator you are not going to get anything, let alone everything.

Problem No. 2
No scientific law can account for non-living things’ coming to life. The soil in your garden didn't turn into the trees and flowers. They came from seeds, cuttings, or grafts from other trees and flowers.

Atheistic evolutionists have long believed that at some time in the distant past, life arose from non-living substances. British biologist T.H. Huxley in 1869 and physicist John Tyndall in 1874 were early promoters of the idea that life could be generated from inorganic chemicals. But biology has found no law to support this idea, and much against it. The invariable observation is that only living things give rise to other living things. Life could not begin if God and miracles took no part!

Problem No. 3
There is no known scientific law that would allow one kind of creature to turn naturally into a completely different kind. Insects don't evolve into more complex non-insects for instance, because they don't have the genes to do it.

The theory of evolution teaches that simple life-forms evolved into more complex life-forms, such as fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. There is no natural law known that could allow this to happen. The best that evolutionists can come up with to try to explain how this might have happened is to propose that it happened by mutations and natural selection.

But mutations overwhelmingly destroy genetic information and produce creatures more handicapped than the parents.
And natural selection simply weeds out unfit creatures. Natural selection may explain why light-colored moths in England decreased and dark moths proliferated (because during the industrial revolution the light moths on dark tree trunks were more easily seen and eaten by birds), but it cannot show that moths could ever turn into effective, totally different, non-moth creatures. Moths do not have the genetic information to evolve into something that is not a moth, no matter how much time you give them.

All the evidence is on the side of the Christian who believes the Bible's account of creation — that in the beginning God created the world and all the major types of creatures to reproduce “after their kind”.

Dear God,

I know I haven't spoken to you lately, because frankly, everything's been going good. Thanks for that. Not often do we give you thanks when everything's going well. Why is that?

I would just like to pray for all the people on this website. The ones that deny you, especially. These people know not what they do. We try and explain you, and why you deserve our worship, or love, and our extreme gratitude for what your son did for us, but they don't listen. Instead, they tell us that we are wrong. But we are strong in our faith. Thank you for helping us stay strong.

Thank you for keeping me safe, with all the guidence you give me. I know now, when you say get out, to get out. I know that when you say, "This person is bad" that he is. I have learned that when you say, "He's in bad shape" to look closer

Thank you for showing yourself to me. And above all, thank you for guiding and protecting my fellow firemen and I over the past years.

-Prayer of a Fireman

If these three religions all worship and believe in the same God, why has there been so much hostility between them? The way I see it is that since we all believe in the same God does it really matter HOW we believe in Him? Instead of fighting each other with wars shouldn't have competitions to see which one can convert the most people to God?
