Seriously, your life is slipping away by the second. Try doing something constructive with your life instead of trying to force other people to believe in your god.
Take up scrapbooking or learn a foreign language or something. Think about how much time (and money) you'll save by abandoning the superstitious mythology of your long dead ancestors.
I can't wait to see how many christians tell me I'm doing the work of the 'devil'.

(CNN) -- Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff John Shalikashvili has had a change of heart about gays in the military.

Shalikashvili, who was the top military man when President Clinton's "don't ask, don't tell" policy became law in 1993, wrote in a recent New York Times editorial that he was convinced by gay service members that "don't tell" can disappear.

"I now believe that if gay men and lesbians served openly in the United States military, they would not undermine the efficacy of the armed forces," he wrote in the January 2 edition of the Times. "Our military has been stretched thin by our deployments in the Middle East, and we must welcome the service of any American who is willing and able to do the job." (Watch to learn more about the retired general's about-face )

The "don't ask" means commanders are prohibited from questioning a service member about sexual orientation while "don't tell" refers to the stipulation that gay and lesbian troops must keep their sexual orientation a secret.

President Clinton's policy brought the highly charged issue of gays in the military to the center of public discussion. At the time, Shalikashvili, supported the policy, believing that openly gay servicemen and women would hurt the military's cohesion.

With President Bush now calling for a larger military, the issue is sure to become fodder again for political and social debate. (Send us your thoughts on this issue)

Shalikashvili wrote that his position change came after meeting with gay troops, including "some with combat experience in Iraq, and an openly gay senior sailor who was serving effectively as a member of a nuclear submarine crew.

"These conversations showed me just how much the military has changed, and that gays and lesbians can be accepted by their peers."

'A political issue, not a military issue'

Is the ancient and venerable religion of Islam being exploited for political purposes to incite angry, uneducated young men from the Muslim world to violence? If so, why?

I was baptized Lutheren, and raised (though never confirmed Catholic). I have attended Baptist, Congregational, Apostolic, Spiritualist, Wiccan and a few others...trying to find my place. I feel comfort in the Catholic religion because I am most familliar - though I don't appreciate the "fear God" approach. I am wondering if there is a "Christian" saint for Mother Earth. And how I can honor them without "praying to a false God". Does anyone see a positon that would best suit me? I am in a small town in Michigan and there is not a Catholic church for many miles around. I am concerned about having my son baptised as my husband will not attend church. He believes he connects with the Lord best in the outdoors, that God hears his prayes outside of a congregation. I want my son to be raised with some conformity to religion. As my step-son is not, and it shows in his manners and attitude. Can anyone offer assistance?

Islam says working hours are from sunrise till noon. Modern Law says working hours are 8 (from 9 AM till 5 PM)
Islam orders us to pay 2.5% of our annual income as alms. Modern Law orders us to pay more than 20% of our income as taxes.
Islam allows males and females to marry once they reach puberty. Marriage in most civillized countries is not permissible till several years after puberty.
Islam puinishes an unfaithful spouse by stoning to death. Modern Law condems an adulterer as being "naughty".
Islam prohibits sex outside marriage. Modern Law allows fornication, sodomy, homo, bisexuality.
Islam detents thieves and other criminals with severe punishments; thus making crime rate minimal. Modern Law is very tolerant to them.
Islam prohibits alcohol, smoking, etc Modern Law allows that.
Islam allows a man to have up to 4 legal wives. Modern Law allows a man/woman to have as many partners as possible, but only 1 spouse!

Regarding myself, I'll choose the Islamic law, and you??

That's true, but doesn't that just mean that the Bible is the ultimate vanity book? You know, keep it on your shelf so people think you're pious?

Surely, that has to be the explanation because no one would read such a poorly written, fanciful, self-contradictory text for pleasure!

What is the proper meaning of the word "Islam?" My world history book said it meant "submission," but a Sunni I know said it meant "peace." Which is correct? Also, why is Islam so against tatoos and the like? Is tatooing viewed as being along the same lines as harming oneself physically?

My partner and I have a child. We are good parents and provide all our child needs plus a loving home. My religious neighbor recently put a hate sticker on his car.....he says he is a Christian? I don't get the hatred from a religion that is touted as being all about love?

Why do you hate christians?Christians aren't perfect, just SAVED. Please don't be offended by "pushy" Christians. We really do care, and are commanded to share the good news.God is giving every person the chance to hear that Jesus saves. Then He will judge the world. Those that hear and believe will have every sin forgiven. I may know the answer but I want your opinion.
I believe that deep down you reaaly do know we are right, but the devil is inside of you. That's why other religions, judaism, hinduism, mulim, and others don't bother you. because those are sthings of the devil which are wrong, wherever christianity you know deep down is rightm so it bothers you.
Anyone who critizises me, I will pray for, I will forgive them and hope God forgives them too. I will pray for you non-believers, before it is to late. I am not brainwashed, you are by sin.
By beleiving, you have so much to gain and nothing to loose

kept alive, in excruciatingly painful life conditions? until death 'naturally' occurred???

I know - you are saying that an animal's life is 'less' important (spiritually) than human's . . . therefore, putting an animal out of their painful misery (killing them via artificial means) is acceptable, whereas, humans must 'endure' physical horrors??? until natural death releases them?

What do you think? or believe? or feel about this???
