Where are some statistics for how many converts Islam gains each year? And for those who are going to post those anti-Islam sites, don't even bother because they'll just be ignored. And what do you think of the following?

"Before any other religion or system in the world Islam gave a woman the right to inherit, the right to vote and voice her opinion, the right to trade invest and improve herself financially, the right to own - buy and sell, the right to seek knowledge and have a good education, the right to work and has even gone further to oblige the males in every stage of her life, whether it was a father, brother or husband ... It's their duty before God to take care of her, to spend on her, to provide her with the food , clothing and shelter that she needs, to provide her with a good education, to protect her from anything that can harm her and to never hesitate to put their lives in stake for her if the need calls them to do so. "

Yeah, I know this isn't a question. But, a little while ago I posted a very careless and mocking answer to a question, and I feel like my thoughtlessness has grieved the Holy Spirit in some way. I don't want to draw attention to the answer I gave (I've since deleted it), but for anyone who saw it and might have been offended, I sincerely apologize and truly hope you can forgive me. God is still teaching me that I should think before I speak... or, in this case, type.

Anyway, I was wrong to answer impulsively and I'm sorry.

"The circumstances amid which you live determine your reputation; the truth you believe determines your character.

Reputation is what you are supposed to be; character is what you are.

Reputation is the photograph; character is the face.

Reputation comes over one from without; character grows up from within.

Reputation is what you have when you come to a new community; character is what you have when you go away.

Your reputation is learned in an hour; your character is built in a lifetime.

Reputation grows like a mushroom; character grows like the oak.

A single newspaper report gives you your reputation, a life of toil gives you your character.

Reputation makes you rich or makes you poor; character makes you happy or makes you miserable.

Reputation is what men say about you on your tombstone; character is what the angels say about you before the throne of God."
(William Hersey Davis)

So, which one could you choose? Reputation or Character?

Revelation 11:http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=revelation%2011&version=50

Is this talking about Moses and Jesus? It seems like it could be talking about them to me, what do you think?

When you are in a dream you may not realise it. You may even perform little tests in your dream to see if you are awake (and, of course, you pass them). When you wake up you realise it was obviously a dream. How do you know you are awake now, is this not just a more vivid dream? How can we ever know if we are awake?

...im told that the quote is "A Christian cannot be accused of any wrongdoing" .....is this truly in the bible? If so....is it taken out of context, or is it meant to be taken litterally?

ok maybe the church already has money,but how do all the smaller churches here have enough money to pay bills,and other things like that,all the priests here are zipping around in cars when everythigns in walking distance. someone also said to me the government (in ireland) pays them,but why should the government pay for the whole upkeep of the church,i doubt that very much.

it would take an awful lot of money to keep all the catholic churches and priest in the world looked after and for a church that does not take money from its followers WHERE DOES ALL THE MONEY COME FROM?



NOTE:

and no people here do NOT give donations
the moeny fomr the offerings only goes towards paying the cleaners who clean the church itself
i know the pope has alot of money tied up in property and materials but they are not sold!
our church does not take moeny off their followers
the governmetn dosnt,or would only pay for a fraction of the cost!like a grant.
and NO bible reffernces

My hubby is sleeping, I have a bit of a sleeping problem. Would it be bad to wake him up and have a little fun with him?

I'm being honest! This is the first time in our 2 years of marriage that I'd surprise him like this, what do you say?

You know those people who are popular, outspoken, social butterflies, who have all the right connections...often listed as the pivotal people who changed world history...

Do you think they have a greater responsibility to God about the turn of events their actions make on the world?
