many cultures have a long history of using marijuana for religious purposes. some extend beyond recorded history. other traditions use the myriad other natural drugs such as peyote, tobacco, and mushrooms. there are really too many to mention. christians even recognize alcohol as a sacrament. will you please state your opinion on this topic?

Since it's kind of the granddaddy religion, metaphorically speaking, I'm curious.

Jesus heals the sick by laying his hands on top the afflicted body.
Doctors prescibe medicine.

Both perform miracle. But Jesus is way far advance than our modern primitive method. What did we miss?

*Why a Jew can grow his beard in order to practice his faith,But when Muslim does the same, he is an extremist and terrorist!

*Why a nun can be covered from head to toe in order to devote herself to God,But when Muslimah does the same she oppressed

*Any girl can go to university wearing what she wills and have her rights and freedom?But when Muslimah wears a Hijab they prevent her from entering her university!

*When a Christian or a Jew kills someone religion is not mentioned, but when Muslim is charged with a crime, it is Islam that goes to trial!

*When someone sacrfices himself to keep others alive, he is noble and all respect him.But when a Palestinian does that to save his son from being killed, his brother's arm being broken, his mother being raped, his home being destroyed, and his mosque being violated -- He gets the title of a terrorist! Why? Because he is a Muslim!

ie. Was the world created 5767 years ago? Assuming I have understood this correctly.

I thought the earth was about 4.5billion years old and first life appeared about 500 million years ago and first humans about 200,000 years ago.

When Jesus sent his disciples to preach the Kingdom of God, among some other things, he told them: Luke 9:4Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town.
What's the meaning of this disposition in your opinion? Could you share us your opinions?
Luke 9:1When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, 2and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. 3He told them: "Take nothing for the journey—no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra tunic. 4Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that town. 5If people do not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave their town, as a testimony against them." 6So they set out and went from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing people everywhere.

Since I heard about astral traveling I was a little bit upset with this idea, but ofcourse I had been little disbelieving in all this too.But then I found lot of information how to learn to do this and ofcourse I start to trying.After some weeks ,that is few days ago something happened with me what really terrified me and that happened in moment I didn't mend to do that at all. I felt something is breaking out of my body (something like wind or somethink)and in my ears I heard very loud noise, body was like paralized.I was so scared that I started to moving and then all thiese feelings disappeared.It looks like I almost traveled in astral, but this loud noise is that normal and acctually I,m scared to do that at all, but I still want too oh.So here my questions(Most of all for those who travels in astral):1.)Was that normal what happened with me?2.)What danger is in astral or what we shouldn't do in astral?3.)Have you been chased by astral beasts?4.)What do you see in mirror in astral?

Excuse the language but i did not know which words to use!

Why to keep going on insulting muslims and their prophet.Calling him a murder and pedophile?

Even biblical prophets and judges killed in the name of God. Heck Samson went on killing sprees when he got pissed off!
And Jews married their dayghters off as soon as they reached puberty, even the talmud say that a rabbi can marry a THREE-YEAR OLD GIRL !

So whats up with your hipocracy?

we know that there is nothing impossible to GOD. he can do anything. then can he make a rock which he cant brake. if he can make it then he cant brake it. so there is something impossible to god. again if he could brake it, then that means he is not capable to make such rock. so there is something impossible to GOD.

I see many atheists here sending questions saying that theists are "brain-washed". Who gave you the right to make such a judgement? As a Muslim I believe in God, and I know that my Christian and Jewish friends do too. I admit that I grew up, and raised to believe what I believe, but when I reached an age where I can think by myself, I was convinced, by using my mind, that I'm on the right track. I could have turned an atheist, but I didn't, and that's because my mind guided me to theism. So we're not "brain-washed" as you may claim. We have minds and we use them! I do believe in much of science, and many quotes of my religion encourage me to learn and seek knowledge. But denying, for example, human evolution doesn't make me brain-washed. Because on the other hand, insisting that it's (Evolution theory) so correct is also "brain-washing"! I'm not bashing you, belive in whatever you want (Or "unbelieve"), but let us believe whatever we want too. It's a type of freedom after all.

Houdini died on October 31st, 80 years ago.
he is best known for debunking fraudulent mediums.........literally hundreds of them in his career.......but his interest was initially in PROVING communication after death was possible, it was only the fact that he repeatedly saw mediums using stage-magic tricks that swung him towards skepiticism.
Wheh he died, in 1926, he left a coded message with his wife and asked her to hold a seance every year on the anniversary of his death. in 1936, his wife admitted that - after many seances - no one had given her the coded message.

My question is to Spitualist and believers.......why did this person - with a supreme interest in mediums and after-death communication - who desperatley wanted to prove the reality of after death communication - never contact his beloved wife and give her the code which would have given her, and others, so much comfort?
