Muslims built Mosque in Hebron, where Abraham a.s.and Sarah a.s. believed being burried, is not different than muslims built Mosque in Medina where their own prophet s.a.w. was burried.

I dont mind any Jews hate muslims, and support the killings they did and do to muslims,because that's what lots of Jews doing from started anyway, but not for that reason, means not because muslims built mosque in Hebron and look after it.
I hope any Jews can see, how muslims really respect Abraham, more than any other believers . They dont pray for him as much as we do.

It's not amaze me that lots of Jews live with hatred to muslims, nothing new, and some even praise the masacre done by Barush Goldstein in 1994 and support bombing to all muslims.

But do Jews know that we all ,muslims are the only people who ordered to pray for Abraham and all of his ancestors at least 5 times a day ??

If some of you think/say : " So what?" my answer is " fine!" I am not the Judge.

I am sitting here with only a candle setting off its glowing light. The candle is all that is in my mind. Around me is blackness, only the glowing flame shows itself. There are no walls to reflect the light, there is only the light and the darkness. The flame is still but I can feel and hear a faint sound of air.

Where am I? Spiritually, physically or mentally?

I think I know the answer to this question.
Think about it. If there isn't what would you call a person who claims to be saved but is not living biblicly.

Think about it. They were in the most beautiful place ever. Yet they decided to rebel and send themselves to hell... KNOWINGLY! Unlike humans who don't know... the fallen angels know what would happen yet they rebelled anyways. So why didn't they just obey and be safe instead of rebelling to get their own torture that they chosen?

a democracy with a religious leader (like a president) and/or strong religious political influence is not a democracy, but closer to a theocracy?
The USA today would be closer to a theocracy, than to a democracy, right?
In this case - what the US is trying to implement in the world is a theocracy and not democracy?

(Please don't give me the theocratical democracy argument, it doesn't make sense)

I realize some people may be offended by this but it's an honest question with no ill intent behind it. Now think about it, really I mean.. Religion threatens that if you don't obey you will be punished, in fact the threats in the old testament are frequent and quite emphatic, but then it promises rewards and leniency for cooperation etc... Throughout the old testament god does horrendous things to "his chosen people" and yet they still follow and worship him.. Isn't this exactly like god is a captor holding hostages who eventually become sympathetic to thier captor?? Could such a relationship be considered an example of Stockholm syndrome on a massive scale?? From a psychological viewpoint is religion comparable to this syndrome?

When a child or a very young person comes on R and S and asks a question that's an obvious embarassment to your beliefs, do you think you should counsel with that young person?

I have some adult friends who are Atheists and I was wondering if you ever feel embarassed by some of the silly, lame and ridiculous questions asked by juveniles on the R and S?

As logical and intelligent people, do you feel the need to correct them or guide them in some way? After all, they are young and some of them could use your wisdom! Do you ever advise them about the questions they ask?

I've had a really really really really bad day. Anyone have any ideas on how I can pick myself up? I don't want to watch a favorite movie (tried that already, didn't work). I don't want to listen to upbeat music (tried that too, again, it didn't work). Not even arts and crafts which usually picks me right up since I get so into it I get over whatever it was that made me so "Ugh!" in the first place.

What suggestions? And to those that are going to say stupid things like "blow yourself up", you only show your ultra low level of maturity, security, and intelligence.

I am not Christian but I was interested in the fundamental differences between the different versions, are they mainly interpreted differently, or are they completely different?

And help others to live their lives to the fullest? This isn't going to last forever, so why not work together to make the short time that everyone has to be excellent? Sure, you won't exist later, but everything right now is real and you are really experiencing this, isn't it a waste to just be miserable all the time?

I read an answer to a question about the existence of God which said something like "I'm entitled to my belief without you questioning it, and you're entitled to your belief without me questioning it." It's that "without questioning" part that I'm asking about. If we have freedom of speech, then asking questions or even openly disagreeing about religion is necessarily part of that, isn't it? Are we too careful not to step on toes in this area? Not careful enough? Or to maintain the metaphor, are we guaranteed steel-toed boots for our religious ideas?

God gives hope. Even if he's just a placebo pill for the soul, do you still think that it is necessary to attack one's beliefs with science?

(P.S. No, I am not an advocate of either science or religion because I find them to be very similar)

How can I be expected to believe something without question? How can I just put down my disbelief and say, yes, Jesus was the son of God, and let go of all the doubt? would you believe me if I said I was bill gates, and that if you don't do what I say I'll have your computers blown up? hell no! it's human nature to question things, a no doubt very effective survival trait,--- do you not realize the impossibility of asking us to just abandon this trait when it comes to something as supremely important as God, and the afterlife, and, well, everything? it seems to me this is the ONE THING you really should question, because everything's at stake. I don't want to go to hell, but neither do I want to believe something false just because someone's told me. with all due respect believing Jesus was God because many here do is as naïve as being bullied into smoking. I want the truth! blind faith is impossible for something so important! do you understand?

When praying for something are we supposed to pray for God's will to be done or are we supposed to pray for what we want and have faith?

In the bible it says if you ask for anything in Jesus' name, it will be given to you. However, I find that most people pray for Gods will to be done.

Now I've been watching and spent too much time learning things in regards to Christianity. I have to admit that i am just abit confused. For a few times now i've been watching a certain Chritian broadcasting that i won't mention its name but the supposed host claims to be an apostle who happens to pray for callers and sends then a handerchief as a point of contact for blessing. He claims to be appointed by God an is there to annoint the callers and thus bless them in every aspect of life including healing and in the area of finance.

Now according to my understanding, i only know of the early apostles and i didn't know they still exist. The other thing is that i've also been learning about tithing and according to my understanding is that this is the ten percent of everything you own that God has given you, you return to Him.

In this broacasting, the host claims that with a joint praying in agreement with the caller, and in Jesus name, he can bless you through tithing to be

*sigh*
I don't really know. I guess people are just too narrow minded. I mean, I don't really see why Evolution contradicts the existence of God. Oh sure, the Bible speaks of Adam and Eve, but should we really take that story literally? How do we not know it wasn't just a fictional story with a little moral at the end?

Evolution is not intended to contradict God. Rather, Darwin states that his theory is to claim that God did indeed create man but he was so intelligent and all-knowing that with evolution, he was able to have life create itself.

Also, the Bible states that man was made from mud and dirt. It has been theorized that nonliving materials such as water and dirt, merged together to make the first unicellular organisms that would eventually evolve into the human race.

If people actually took the time to read the entire theory, then they wouldn't be so quick to label it as some trash that should be rejected. IT fills in many gaps, if you ask me.

Do you agree?

Are you allowed to repent for something you are about to do before you do it?

Say, for instance, you are a soldier fighting in a war and you are about to blow some kid with a hand grenade off the face of the earth. Are you allowed to say "Please Jesus, forgive me for blowing this kid up?" before you even do it?
