I've had numerous kids come to the house. I didn't have any candy, so I opted for the trick. So I've been putting them all in my back bedroom. It is almost full of little draculas, fairies, and goblins. What next? I don't get the point.

Would this more accurately portray the difference between true Jihad and Hirabah? Woud language even make a difference in the present culture clash (real or perceived)? I know nothing of Arabic, but was fascinated by a story by NPR (link below) and am wondering what the opinions of others, especially Muslims, might be on this.

She is making Halloween hell tonight for the kids enjoyment. She is miserable with her life and takes it out on everyone else. I really despise her and tried praying for her. I usually end up SAD and CRYING over her behavior ~ not comprehending how someone can be so cruel to kids. What can I do?

I heard that Jews are not allowed to drive to Synagogue on sabath, my question is what happens if a Jewish person lives to far from the Synagogue to walk? can he take a bus or tram or is that the same as driving? if I heard wrong and Jews can drive to synagogue on sabath, I apologise and just ignore this question.

Is retaliation of any sort (verbal or physical) expected to cause bad karma. Should a Buddhist thank his persecutor for relieving him of the bad Karma that he may have garnered in the past through the suffering that the insult or harm provoked? Is endurance the way to gain the way out of rebirth?

Racism is a problem that causes discord in a society. As a result, some call it a "social disease". Islamic teachings likewise instructs Muslims to believe they are superior to others, in this case, the non-muslim/infidel/unbeliever/kafir or Dhimmis (see Wikipedia article below).

So whats the difference between believing someone is inferior to you because of their race or religion? Is there one? If there is not, could we also classify any belief that propogates this bigotry as a "social disease"?

FYI: I reject all religions, so if you wanna say "xianty is just like that too!!", and pass it of as a justification to muslims, feel free Einstein.

Dhimmis (non-muslims): Negative attitudes towards Dhimmis existed partly due to the "normal" feelings of a dominant group towards subject groups, partly due to the contempt Muslims have for those who they perceive have willfully chosen to refuse to refuse to accept the truth (convert to Islam) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhimmi

The Caesars declared themselves GOD. The Romans were easy with elevating JESUS (a mortal man) to GOD status. For the Jews this practice was an abomination.

it seems that religion is becoming a larger topic of conversation everyday in my household. i try to avoid it as much as possible, but now my mom is telling me that i need to get baptised. i'm also pretty disheartend to listen to my otherwise completely rational and ferociously intelligent mother abandon all reason to find purpose behind uncontrollable events. i guess if it helps her stay sane then she can believe whatever she wants, she deserves at least that much and i love her. i just don't know what she hopes to accomplish by getting me baptised. i'm sorry, but i don't see how some magic water is going to "purify my soul" or whatever it's supposed to do.
another problem i have to deal with is my grandmother for she is a deeply pious woman and i don't think i can handle letting her down like that. i guess i just won't tell her.
so my question to you is: how did you telly your parents and how should i go about doing it?
