Do you care about what people think of you on this board? Or do you care so much you go to great lengths to attempt to be them? Why do these people claim we're so oppressed, yet on this very board they are the oppressive ones, trying to silent the voices of muslim women who prove them wrong with evidence, facts, and their very presence? Why do they think their opinion matters, when to you they are merely words on a screen that are easily psychoanalyzed? What do the good people (key word: GOOD) think about those who make such claims yet are the ones guilty of doing it?

If you don't know this, then you need Jesus!

I know I've asked this for the last couple of days, but this is for those saints that WANT to answer again or who did not see the previous.
THIS day, I want to thank God for the opportunity to see another day. And for the opportunity to draw nearer to Him.

“Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 5:20

If you don't "know" God or do not acknowledge that He is who He is, there's no need to respond. I don't want you to waste your time.

Is "sin" an inevitable consequence of free will?

This is for those who do believe in God. Do you look around you and see God's hand in everything? From the way a flower is formed, to the way a baby is created in the womb, to your very fingertips? How does it make you feel? I feel alive, and in awe, just looking around. I look out at the garden from any of the windows and feel at peace. I also thank God I'm alive to enjoy another day, and to enjoy my children. What are your thoughts?

not a single proof to believe they actually existed. proof about prophet Mohommed's existance was written as history only by muslims themselves, and its not the objective truth.

Hello again,

Sorry to bug you all with annoying questions. But I am a knight fighting on the side of Our Lord Jesus and He took away my fears so now I can ask such questions. You see I love the heavy metal ballads and stuff but some people say they are the devils music and I disagree. I listen to it and it does me no harm as I still love Jesus. but if I thought yous would not let me I would give it up for Him. I hope I dont have to cause I'll always be a warrior for Christ no matter what I listen too. Its up to your opinions now.

Love Michael

You hear all the time what god is wonderful and loving, but what about the victims? Who is wonderful and loving to them? Earlier someone posted a question asking people what they would do if god asked them to kill a stranger. Here's the link: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AkcMIFfnDW_JWnMU1wO6PFDsy6IX?qid=20070501190830AAYYVPl&show=7#profile-info-38tJQpBzaa

Well, the majority of the respondents say that god would never do such a thing. How can this be when the bible is full of commandments telling you to stone people who break certain laws, commit abominations. God tells Moses to take a town and kill everyone in it except the virgins, who were to be kept as wives for the conquoring Jews. Jesus says for christians to bring the unbelievers before him to be and slaughter them. You are all well aware of the verses of which I speak, if not, go to bible.com and perform a search for the words kill, stone, and slaughter.

So, why is it that people forget this?

In the old days of the bible, there were always prophets guiding the lords sheep. (US)

So if God never changes shouldn't there still be prophets?

They always ask why none of us openly condemn those who give Islam a bad name?

Every Muslim I know openly condemns these things but ppl always ask the same thing!!

Just because we don't have a pope or some symbol like that to speak for us all. I'm getting so tired of it. I'm a muslim women & this guy came up to me at work and actually said 'you look like a tolerant one' -- what is that really supposed --what? that I'm not standing there brandishing a sword? Okay I am not looking for answers to the last part...just the first part --be respectful!

...........if we post questions in the philosophy section, we cop almost as many cut and paste bible quotes as we get here?

Same thing seems to happen in the science sections and even politics.

If we can't get away from the christians, aren't we better off debating them on this turf anyway, where it's not making a mockery of science or other subjects by putting faith based ideas where they don't belong?

Throughout last 2,000 years Christians have killed each other and cursed those who attend other Christian churches and burned them at the stake. So why should I follow a religion of HATE. I'd rather follow God. Than a man made religion. Look at all the 1000s of different churches each saying they are then true church. Why can't Chrisitians unite?

I'm curious about the views of members on this board. In your religion, are there any specifics regarding children? And to muslims (like me) what does Islam say about children growing up? And WHY do they need to grow up? I was holding my son a little while ago because he woke up from sleep crying for me. I was thinking of how my now 3 year old used to want me near her all the time and refused to sleep without me in the room holding her, before her brother was born. Can you tell me why God keeps them this little and cuddly only for a short time? Why can't we have more time with them? I'm a stay at home mom, and I do have that time, but it's so fleeting. What religious verses or sayings can you suggest because as they reach new milestones, my heart breaks but I'm so happy at the same time. My little boy is in the "monkey" phase, where he has started copying everything I or his sister do. He also learned how to climb up on things (more child-proofing). Any advice?

What does life mean to you??

I've seen it a few times here.

Proponents of "intelligent design" claiming that they're not fundamentalists, they just don't "believe" in evolution.

Aren't they familar with the history of the ID handbook, "People & Pandas"? Prior to 1987 it was the creationist handbook, change "creation" to "intelligent design" and "creator" to "designer", and they think it's a science book.

Fact is, it's still religion. And it's still a fundamentalist approach to it.

When are they going to realise the rest of the world doesn't "believe" in evolution, we know it to be fact, backed up by mountains of evidence.

And for the fundies who are going to ask "where's your evidence?", here's the link that I know you're to scared to go to.

I know that the Old Testiment says that a false prophet was one that had a prophecy and it did not come true. But in these last times many false prophets are to arise and decieve many even the elect if possible. What are some signs of a false prophet that we could apply in an article that says "ten things to look for/signs of a false prophet."
