I think alcohol and pork are prohibited in Islam, what are some other prohibitions in Islam? Are these ever an inconvenience for Muslims? Do Islamic people always obey these rules or do they sometimes "cheat"? Is forgiveness for sin possible in Islam? And if so, how? Thanks for the information.

Could God create a hot sauce so spicy that even he, himself, could not eat it?

I have friend who is Seventh-day Adventist. He follows the dietary laws of the old testament. I feel we don;t need to. He keeps telling me I am in disobedience to God if I don't. I am getting confused. Do we need to follow the old dietary laws?..Where in the bible does it give us permission to eat pork and such.

with differing perspectives written over perhaps as much as 1000 years, why do people keep saying you have to read the whole thing to understand parts of it?

Is that just a cop out, or is there merit to it. If there's merit, then why?

but all the ones I'm aware of occur at an early age. Does anyone know of any religion in which the initiation rites occur at or near adulthood?

Don't you just love the clever & witty church signs you see when you're driving along that give you a good laugh & brighten your day! I saw one the other day that read: "Lord, please let me be the person my dog thinks I am."

When I was in middle school there was a girl in one of my classes who could only wear skirts for religious reasons, but I don't know which religion it was. Do you know which religion this is?

Only looking for non-flammatory answers.

Why is it that when someone kills and claims god told them to do so, it's a lie because "god would never do that"? Yet you can open a bible and read where god has told people to kill.

If not, then where did we get this idea that it is wrong?

Christian's claim that we get our moral code and ethics from the bible and the bible only, because man can not possibly think for themselves.

So where did the idea that cannibalism is "wrong", come from?

I was wondering if anyone has ever had the opportunity to hear him preach. Do you remember what he preached on? Did you get a blessing from his music? Does your church have him over often?

As husband and wife, God seems to have assigned us roles. We vetoed those roles and made our own. Would you agree with that? Why or why not?

If you agree with that can you please list some of the roles God has given to men and women as a married couple?

Thank you.
