In a Democracy should not the military be Democratic?

Should military personnel (soldiers, sailors, etc) be thoroughly informed of the complete details of a proposed war so that an individual, inteligent decision can made, then allowed to vote to participate in the fight? If the majority votes in favor,THAT majority goes to the war, instead .of the participation being arbitrarily dictated by those who would send them and not participate.

Judging by the answers of some of our Protestant brothers and sisters, they certainly do not KNOW what our faith teaches.

READ THIS FROM THE QURAN:-

Chapter 5 verse 31
"...if anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder,or (and) to spread mischief in the land-it would be as if he killed all mankind,& if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind."
Chapter 25 verses 67,68
"And those who invoke not any other god along with Allah, nor kill such life as Allah has forbidden, except for just cause, nor commit adultery & whoever does this shall recieve the punishment"
"The torment will be doubled to him on the day of judgement & he will abide therein in disgrace"
Chapter 2 verse 226
"Let There Be No Compulsion in Religion."

This is a question, mostly to Christians, Jews and Muslims.Why is premarital sex wrong?
I've been trying to wrap my brain around this question. The two ways that these Abrahamic faiths really differ from other faith's morals are with outsiders and sex.

With outsiders, in most religions, it's fine. But with the Abrahamics, you -must- convert them. There have been no Holy Wars outside of the Abrahamic ones. When the Greeks met the Egyptians, they compared their Gods to their own, and came up with a few syncretism cults.

Now, I can wrap my brain around conquering for a one true god. It's harder to control your area when there are a bunch of different faiths (but we seem to be doing pretty well, all things concidered).
But sex being bad is hard for me to understand.

Is there any logical reason for sex to be bad? Not just because the Torah/Bible/Koran/God says so. There has to be a reason why there's these extra laws about sex.

God sent prophets to convey his message and to be a living example to their followers.

But in bible we find:
- Moses was a murderer.
- David was an adulterer.
- Solomon was an idol worshiper.

Others were thieves and criminals... the question are:
Did God fail in choosing his prophets?
How can God expect us to obey him when the prophets whom were sent by him to convey the message broke even the 10 commandments?

People who still believe the world is flat are a minority. 9/11 conspiracy believers are a minority. Does that make them pioneers? Galileo was persecuted by the most fundamentalists of creationists. Maybe if creationism was a NEW and ORIGINAL theory like say Darwin's Origin of Species when it came out then they could make that analogy, but it's older than the world being center of the universe, and it only loses more credibility year after year unlike evolution.

And the question is will God forgive me even if I forget some of my sins that I did? In other words, what if you can't remember all the sins that you did? (not that I commit sins everyday)

Wait 1 minute (refresh) before answering I am adding more.
Let me Explain. When I was a child I played baseball (unorganized), I knew the game well as it is simple to learn. Later in life when my son began to play the game, I was asked to be an assistant coach. I was a little rusty on the rules so I purchased the Official MLB rulebook. Wow, was I surprised to see that what I thought were a few simple rules were actually pages and pages of complicated regulations, exceptions, descriptions of plays, etc. The infield fly rule is far more intricate than I had ever dreamed. I spent weeks studying the book and I finally had a good grasp of the game, but often I had to refer back to the book. I reached a point that I could answer almost any question and describe each situation and rule. Then I began to coach the players. Now, knowing the rules was becoming less essential, because the game is actually 9 positions working in unison and each can take years to master with much dedication.

I watched the movie "The exorcism of Emily Rose" before bed last week and had a VERY scary nightmare of demons triying to get to my boyfriend and laughing at us. I was praying and quoting scripture in the dream to keep them back.

THE DREAM WASN'T THE SCARY PART...

I woke up and was terrified to look at the clock because I ALREADY knew what time it was...and sure enough...3:33 in the am.

This is SOOO creepy.....I sat there and prayed...Should I pray for my sweetie? My first boyfriend said he saw a demon fly overhead and dumped me soon after because he was so freaked out.


I'M NOT LYING... SO KEEP JUDGEMENTS TO YOURSELF PLEASE

Thank you! :)

How do you? Basically, I mean in everyday life.

Save the "It is evil" comments, I believe the bible is a book written by man and nothing more. If my soul goes to "hell," so be it, but I don't believe in hell to begin with.

As far as serious answers go, I HAVE tried everything, from watching what I eat to exercising. I think it has to do with energies that are out of my control. I HAVE had a lot of negitive things happen in the last 6 months. Any suggestions, or books that I could get that would have good spells to help me?

When you hear a child pledging allegiance does it give you a feeling of pride and future protection? Or do you think of it as just something cute to hear kids say?
