My spirit has felt bombarded for some reason lately, so I have been a recluse outside of mandatory activities (grocery shopping, work, tending to my kids).

I can sense other people's thoughts, emotions and intent. Some people I can see right through. It seems as if everyone is out to run all over the next person, and hardly no one has any innocent intentions. A lady whom I thought was a friend of mine wont verbally say why she is upset with me, but I have already sensed the answer and I don't need to hear it. I did nothing to her.

I told my husband many weeks ago to beware of the people at his new assignment, they were not to be trusted. He wrote me off, and was blindly excited and not cautious. Within that same week I said this to him, someone broke into his office and stole one of his professional manuals. I prayed about it, and it was returned within two weeks. No one knows who took it, or returned it.

What is wrong with people?

Thanks to those who gave their opinion on the right of Muslim women to wear the veil. I am now writing a follow up article as the veil debate seems to have spread out into the issue of whether it's ok to wear religious symbol, eg the BA worker losing her appeal to wear the cross. Do you think it is double standards?

Would love to know what you think! Cheers.

It tells how 40% of the population blindly yields to authority. It tells how Karl Rove used commonly accepted psychological studies to manipulate them to vote for Bush. Fundamentalist Christians and conformists are the easiest to manipulate.

Did God has preserved His Word?

In the spring of 1947, the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered. These manuscripts were copies of large portions of the Old Testament, a thousand years older than any other existing copies. Study of the scrolls has revealed that the Bible hasn’t changed in content down through the ages as many skeptics had surmised.
Anyone can now obtain access to computer programs that give the original Hebrew and Greek words, and the only "changes" have been made for clarity. For example, the old English translation of 2 Corinthians 12:8 is "For this thing I besought the Lord thrice ...," while a contemporary translation is "Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times..."

I have.

In other countries Christians have been falsly accused of having a picture disrespecting Muhammad on a cell phone (In West Bank/Gaza) and had to go into hiding.

Then there is a Christian Pastor in Pakistan where Christians were falsly accused of tearing Koran pages and throwing the pages in a mosque. So, Muslims burned down churches, etc.

And the 60+ yr old Nun who was shot in the back because the Pope read a document that wrote Islam is won by the sword.

In America false accusations give excuse for someone to get fired, etc.

My family goes around the table each evening at dinner to share their "High/Lows" -- the best and worst parts of their day.

While we are sitting at the R&S table, what are your religious or spiritual high/lows? What's been the best part of your spiritual journey and what has been the worst? ( Could be for the day, the week, the month, whatever... )

I have been off this forum for about 4 days now because I had other matters to attend to. Since I have been off I have recieved 16 messages from various friends. It would seem that because of someone's religion choice they have received hate mail and threats, which has caused them to leave this forum. It happens to be someone of the muslim religion. Why is this religion so fowned upon? Is there something that I am not aware of that makes it so horrible? Please Enlighten me?

If you believe your religion is the "one" right way, would you still believe it if you were born in a Muslim dominate country?

Can you believe in God, receive salvation if you are born on an island and isolated from any source of Holy Scripture?

My question speaks to the foundation of one's beliefs and respect of those of others

Or is it that no one will go to hell because they haven’t heard of Jesus Christ? The heathen will go to hell for murder, rape, adultery, lust, theft, lying, etc. Sin is not failing to hear the gospel. Rather, "sin is the transgression of the Law" (1 John 3:4). If we really care about the lost, we will become missionaries and take the good news of God’s forgiveness in Christ to them.

Hey it’s me again those questions I asked about what you think happen when you die? /and the other What if you found out Heaven was real? Well I ask those questions for a reason. I am a Christian who believes in my Father, who believes in the Son, who believes in the Holy Spirit, who believes in heaven. I know with all of my heart that it won't be like this too long. One day not all but some of you your eyes will open and you will believe. It will be different. Then you will understand. So for now I will just continue to spread the word and hope for more results.

Science maybe? Coz humans since the beginning of time have always wanted to believe in a superior being, they just changed names or were forced to believe in someone's else's god ( Zeus, Ra, The Sun, I'm guessing even fire was a god once upon a time)..

Keith Ellison, D-Minn., the first Muslim elected to the United States Congress, has announced that he will not take his oath of office on the Bible, but on the bible of Islam, the Koran.

Should the Bible be replaced during the swearing in ceremonies of elected officials who are not Christians and have the Bible be replaced with the book or teachings (scriptures) of the elected/appointed officials own personal religion.

Is the Bible an American tradition for swearing in ceremonies and can/should it be replaced and reflect the true intent/sincerity of anyone taking an oath of allegiance to the United States Constitution?

And, what about the ranks of members of the military...Would swearing in on the Koran or any other book/scripture pertaining to ones own religion in any way jeopardize the status/performance of a serviceman?
