Religion & Spirituality - 3 November 2006

In the USA, muslims, liberals, democrats and republicans paint a picture of Islam being a loving tolerant religion - when it is ONLY IF YOU ARE MUSLIM. Per, Muslims in Jordan Muhammad was not tolerant of infidels - even if they were Arabs. That does not sound very loving

Why would God not answer my letters? He didn't even open them! Did he flush them all down his heavenly toilet? Why does his toilet empty into the Atlantic Ocean of off New Jersey?

Please! I'm desperate and need answers! Obviously, God won't answer.

Its odd how they let people say c*ck and p*ssy but if you answer a question in religion and say the word GOD they violate you?

Are they muslims?

The article is on the yahoo! homepage. I think it is awful that he would sell these letters--he doesn't know these people and has not asked them if they would like to share their pain with the world. What do you think?

I mean, over time would a story passed orally assimilate the present technology with the assumption that it had always been there?

This is what Haggard is alleged to have said to his male hustler boyfriend/prostitute:

"Hi Mike, this is Art," one call began, according to the station. "Hey, I was just calling to see if we could get any more. Either $100 or $200 supply."

A second message, left a few hours later, began: "Hi Mike, this is Art, I am here in Denver and sorry that I missed you. But as I said, if you want to go ahead and get the stuff, then that would be great. And I'll get it sometime next week or the week after or whenever."

I'm shocked and disappointed. First, he makes it hard for us to continue to preach that we must smite all sodomites and secondly, he was probably using my church contributions to buy dope and to pay for sex outside the sanctity of marriage and outside of what is allowed for by the bible.

Asking from a general philosophical of view. What is it in people that motivates them to Believe in stories or concepts they have no rational reason to believe in? Why is it that a person will accept to believe something on faith?

Hi all.I live in Iran.There's an Iranian pop music which I found quite meaningful.It's a sentimental song and very enjoyable.I tried to translate it.What do you think of this song?Do you like it?

"Imagine it.Even if it's hard to imagine.A world in which everyone is the most furtunate.A world in which money and race and power are not valueble.The answer to be united is not the anti-revolution police.There's no nuclear weapon, no bomber, no morter-shell.No child leaves his leg on mine any more.Everyone is free.Everyone is painless.You won't read in newspaper that the whales have commited suicide anymore.Imagine a world without hatred and gun-powder.Whitout self-centered cruelness.Whitout horror and coffin.Imagine a world full of smile and freedom.Full of flower and kiss.Full of repetition of happiness.Imagine it.Even if it's a crime to imagine.Even if your throat fills with sadness by naming it.Imagine a world in which prison is a myth.All world-wars have been included to cease fire.No one is the Mr of the world.Everyone is equal with one another.From now on every wheat is for every human.Without any borders and limitations,homland means the whole world.Imagine it.You can make this dream come true."

Okay let's take two approaches.

1-) Religious: Do we all come from the same man and woman? (Adam and Eve)


2-) Scientific: Do we all come from the same group of people? (cells, dna, etc). Gosh Humans share 99% of their genetic makeup.... only 1% of difference. We share 50% of DNA with a Bannana... are we closer to a Bannana than each other?

If you agree with either 1 or too just say yes I agree. If you do not agree with my original question: Are you my brother or sister?. Tell me why not?

Thanks so much,
Muslimah.

The purpose of all my questions today is that weather you are black, white, red, blue, speak english, spanish, bushman, or are a jew or a christian.... You are still human and unique and I respect you!

What people seem to be saying is that is life is a sort of test. That if you have heard of God and deny him then you don't go to heaven? If you have heard of him and believe then you do.

But isn't this life a great gift? Isn't viewing it is a form of test in some way saying I want something better?

Personally I think that were God to exist (remember from my other questions I am an athiest) he's already given us this great gift of life. Maybe this is our reward? To live it and enjoy it is the best thing you can do and the best way to thank God. Why view it as a test and say "If I'm good I get my reward." when you already have you're reward.

Of course if, as I believe, there is no God, then we should enjoy this life as it is. There isn't anything else to aim for. So enjoy it while it lasts.

By the way, anyone simply posting replies to this of the form "Believe in God because it's the right thing to do." that doesn't help, you will get a thumbs down from me.

How many christians in here believe that all gay people are going to hell? Now for the people that say they are how strongly do you believe in the bible? Are you just someone who follows the parts of the bible you like or do you follow the whole thing? For instance, did you wait until marriage to lose your virginity? Or did you give that up, yet still choose to say homosexuals are going to hell?
On a different angle of the question...if homosexuals are going to hell, do you hate homosexuals? Or do you befriend homosexuals yet still believe htey're going to hell? I'm just asking for honest opinions. O and one last thing. When i say christian i dont have a a definition, The people reading this can define themselves as christians on their own.

Do Muslims share the same heritage and cultural customs, and cultural practices? Do muslims pray the same way, or do they pray in their own language? How does it work? Do they call God in their own language or what?
