I have a lot of friends. I'm Muslim. I have a friend whose christian, I have a friend whose Hindu, I have a friend whose Jew, and I have a friend whose believes in Buddah.

We don't want to change our religion, so, we just don't talk about religion. But my other friend whose atheist want to talk about religion because she is confused and she wants to become a part of one religion. I have give her the details of Muslim and my other friend give their religion's point of view...... It makes me even more confused at what other's have to say

The Greek philosophers had a tremendous impact upon early Christian thought. Luther did away with that in his attempt at "dehellenizing" Christianity by reducing the value of reason in Christian theology. Is Greek thought a moral wasteland for Protestants? Is there wisdom to be had there? Is it compatible with Christian thought?

when a medium tells me about my dad
describes him , gives me personal details , things that they would never know , things i have to ask my mum because even i dont know
but this medium tells me about God and heaven and mentions Jesus and says nothing at all in a negative way....
is there any reason i should believe this to be work of Satan ?
why would Satan want me or anyone else to be closer to God ?

Listen, I just had an eye exam this year and I have 20/20 vision. Look up in a clear blue sky and see them for yourself. What the hell is that? I am not the only person who sees it either, many people I know and random strangers have mentioned it...people without eye problems. Is it electronic phenomena? Or something "else"? They look like tiny little dots of "energy" ranging from a bright yellow to an electric white color, zipping around in different directions in the sky.

Let's just say religion wasn't even a "real" word. That we never had heard of such a thing. How do you think we would all do if religion didn't exist? Or for that matter, never existed.

Francois Gautier:

Chapter 4 - Islam and the Muslim Invasions “Let it be said right away: the massacres perpetuated by Muslims in India are unparalleled in history, bigger than the Holocaust of the Jews by the Nazis; or the massacre of the Armenians by the Turks” http://www.nalanda.nitc.ac.in/resources/english/etext-project/history/gautier/chapter4.html

Quran 8:12 “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.

I had this great spiritual experience, but only while I was having this great trip....
hey, the effects of salvation lasted a few weeks but I started coming to my senses,
Does that count as being "saved"?

How come everybody veiws the veil worn by muslim women as opressive? Don't you people know that the Jewish and Christian faiths also require women's hair to be covered. Jewish women in Israel always cover their hair, and only wear skirts. And if you read the bible closley, there is a passage ( I forgot where exactly) where it says that only a "shameful" or "damned" woman would show her hair. So why all the disrespect toward muslim women in general?

If you think it was then someone should have informed Thomas Jefferson for his words were:

Because religious belief, or non-belief, is such an important part of every person's life, freedom of religion affects every individual. Religious institutions that use government power in support of themselves and force their views on persons of other faiths, or of no faith, undermine all our civil rights. Moreover, state support of an established religion tends to make the clergy unresponsive to their own people, and leads to corruption within religion itself. Erecting the "wall of separation between church and state," therefore, is absolutely essential in a free society.

Harold Urey and Stanley Miller passed mixtures of boiling water, ammonia, methane and hydrogen through elaborate "electric spark systems" of beakers and test tubes. In those experiments, they were able to produce traces of one or two amino acids -- the "building blocks of life" -- and therefore, the media hailed these as proof for the possibility of spontaneous generation (evolution) on a prebiotic Earth.

There were many unreported problems with these "designed" experiments. Dramatically, the greatest byproducts of these soups were tar (85%) and carboxylic acids (13%), both of which are toxic to living systems. Notwithstanding all the other issues, producing a trace amino acid in a laboratory experiment would be similar to producing a clay brick and declaring that we just figured out how to randomly design and build a New York skyscraper.

Take a frog and put him in a blender until frothy. Leave it in the sun for a million years. Do you have a frog? No, still frog soup.

Protestant fundamentalists have been claiming that every Pope is the anti-Christ? Every time there is a new Pope, the ones making this ridiculous accusation against the Pope change it to fit the new Pope of the time.

Am I a Soldier of the Cross?

Am I a soldier of the cross,
A follower of the Lamb,
And shall I fear to own His cause,
Or blush to speak His Name?

Must I be carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed through bloody seas?

Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God?
Sure I must fight if I would reign;
Increase my courage, Lord.
I’ll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy Word.

Thy saints in all this glorious war
Shall conquer, though they die;
They see the triumph from afar,
By faith’s discerning eye

When that illustrious day shall rise,
And all Thy armies shine
In robes of victory through skies,
The glory shall be Thine.

Are YOU a Soldier of the Cross? ? ?

Thanks, RR

I heard that the Bush Administration is stoping geologists at the Grand Canyon from releasing the age of the canyon, which is about 10 to 15 million years old. Why have they stepped in? Because that goes against what the bible says and what the government is trying to say. That the Grand Canyon was created during Noah's flood. Is this not a "1984" moment?
