The French law prohibits Muslims, Christians, and Jews from wearing headscarves, large crosses, or skullcaps. So, on the surface, it seems as if it is not discriminatory among followers of various religions. President Jacques Chirac said that this law is “meant to protect the country’s strictly secular state from the perceived threat of Islamic fundamentalism.” The headscarf is not a sign of Islamic fundamentalism. Throughout the Muslim world, average Muslim women cover their heads in obedience to religious instructions. Do you agree that this law is discriminatory against Muslims only—and Muslims women in particular—since Christians are not required by their faith to wear crosses, nor are Jews required to wear the Star of David. To say the ban includes these Christian and Jewish symbols, too, is misleading.

I've been looking at research into portions of the human genome that is made up of 'fossilised' viruses called endogenous viruses. These viruses existed a long time ago but managed to work their way into our ancestors' genes before mutating into a basically broken and non-infectious form. The recent research I was reading pertained to their actual positive actions during pregnancy, these ineffective viruses are thought to help the placenta and immune system develop.

How do young earth creationists take this information? I'm not so much disputing the fact that it could take millions of years (well over 6000) for such for such retroviruses to be taken into our genes, I'm more interested in the opinion of whether it was God's intention for us to have the remnants of old viruses in our genes.

I'm interested in learning more about Islam. People seem to interpret it all in their own way, and the government and media both have their own perspective that i'm not willing to trust. So, i want to read it for myself. What do i have to know? Is there a good english translation of it that is accurate? Where would i get it?

Do you think god cares what religion you are or do you think he will take all that believe in a higher power to heaven?

I work at a large office and many of my co-workers who attend Bapatist churches listen to chruch music extrmely loud and often quote scrupture and read thier bibles at work. They love to discuss on Mondays sermons from Sunday and on Thursdays Bible study. Yet, these same people treat customers like garbage and often can be found gossiping, sleeping with married men, fornicating, telling lies, digging ditches etc. I am tired of hearing Kirk Franklin, Hezaki Walker and other played extrmemly loud only to have that same person treat me and others like the dirt on the ground.

I would love to hear from people who listen to loud church music and attend Baptist churches!

bother answering? If the specific answerer is a "Christian" what does this convey to the rest of us about Christian values?

I would have liked to been on that bus the day Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. One rarely gets to witness such strength of character.

Elaborate if you will, please. Thank you.

One Whisper of the Beloved (in this poem, Beloved reffers to God)

Lovers share a sacred decree –
to seek the Beloved.
They roll head over heels,
rushing toward the Beautiful One
like a torrent of water

In truth, everyone is a shadow of the Beloved –
Our seeking is His seeking,
Our words are His words.

At times we flow toward the Beloved
like a dancing stream.
At times we are still water
held in His pitcher.
At times we boil in a pot
turning to vapor –
that is the job of the Beloved.

He breathes into my ear
until my soul
takes on His fragrance.
He is the soul of my soul –
How can I escape?
But why would any soul in this world
want to escape from the Beloved?

He will melt your pride
making you thin as a strand of hair,
Yet do not trade, even for both worlds,
One strand of His hair.

We search for Him here and there
while looking right at Him.
Sitting by His side we ask,
"O Beloved, where is the Beloved?"

Enough with such questions! –
Let silence take you to the core of life.

All your talk is worthless
When compared to one whisper
of the Beloved.

Loving the world is time consuming. Yes it includes females. It also includes selfless acts. It does not always include the one you are with. Honest opinions please.
