I have seen several posts on here relating to christians answering questions on sex, most of the answers seem to be "I pray for you" and "you need jesus", I find this truly insulting and judgemental although surely the bible teaches that only God should judge. Why do christians feel the need to look at the questionnes relating to sex and give such a pointless answer. Surely it dosent really matter if a person decides to have sex outside of marriage. I don't wish to offend but would like to know why this is so important to the religion.

As salaamu 'alaikym, brothers.
Some men choose to wear a kufi and some do not.
If you wear a kufi, when do you wear it and what does it mean to you?
If you do not choose to wear a kufi, why did you decide not to?
Do you wear traditional Islamic clothing? Why or why not?

Jazak'Allah khair for all of the sincere answers.

Ma'a salaam.

mankind appeared less than 10,000 years ago? It seems to me that if either of the above hypotheses were correct there would be empirical evidence that any objective investigator could see. Can you please provide names?

I am 26 years old, and I can't seem to figure out what I want from life. Some days I feel like I want to be very religious. Other days, I feel like religion is too restrictive and I just want to have fun. I believe in God, and I always will. I have to believe, too many miracles have happened in my life. I converted to a different religion about a year ago, so now sometimes I feel like I live 3 lives. I never told my family I converted, so I live my "family" life. I have my friends that like to party, so I have my "old friend" life. I also have friends in my "new" religion, so I have a life with them as well. I just feel so confused and alone sometimes. I wish there was a way that I new the absolute truth about religion, so that I wouldn't float around not committing to anything. I want to get married and start a family, but I don't feel that I can do this until I figure out what I want out of life. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why I feel this way?

Wouldn't it be more satisfying for him if you came to believe through questioning, and as an adult, without being brainwashed as a child?

Seriously I have never gone to bed with an ugly girl, but I have woken up next to a few.

Anyone else had any experience with Spirits making them do things?

Children are not born Christian/Muslim etc.. but many are forced to follow their parents beliefs as soon as they are old enough to absorb information. Is it right to tell a child that all the answers to lifes mysteries are contained within one book? Or does that just dull the childs natural sense of adventure and limit their ability to think with an open mind?

I think children should be left to develop their own opinions as they grow older and gain life experience, but I'd be interested to hear your views on this important subject too.

All my problems are from Islam. I really hate it. Girls don't have right to marry with some one they feel in love in and they only have right to marry with permission of their father and they should obey their husband like a slave.
What if the father be bad person who can protect this girl , even in your country you don't have law against father who abuse his child.
I am really honest when I say that I hate Islam.

I have been going to a Spiritualist church for a few months now, and on 2 occasions i have heard a baby crying and a man talking, although i couldnt make out what he was saying. I was the only one who heard these sounds at the time. There are many 'mediums' at the church but im not one of them, i dont think, lol. Has anyone else experienced this without being 'psychic'?

Just don't answer God this time.
I mean... if you take in your hands the Bible for the first time, it is kind of hard to get it. Everybody gets guidance. From parents, friends... someone!
Who is the most influential someone in your case?

what does a believer such as a christian gain when he go around creating obvious lie about atheist / non-christian or creating misconception on 'innocent' people.

do they go to heaven faster , or Jesus will play a game of chess with them , or it will help convince them that their belief is true ?

Would like to understand using scripture how this could possibly be true. Was told that in your journal of discourse doctrine this is what is taught.

Meaning, a scientific theory such as trhe theory of gravity. The hypotheses relating to evolution have been soundly and thoroughly refuted, why do you still cling to the falsity of Darwin's conclusions?

anything can be forgiven frighten you? so basically someone can go and murder half the people they know and then later that night, pray to God for forgiveness and then everything is peaches and cream again?

Is he counting people who go into debt to pay for everything they have?

I thought rich people were financially independent, not dependent on the financiers.

I think a good 95% of America still very much relies on the bankers to give them the appearance of ownership, but this hardly makes them rich.

It makes someone else rich for sure.

Joel, does making 3 grand a month qualify for being in your "sinful rich" class?

Osteen ain't the only wolf out there of course, this is a general sickness with any of the health and wealth "ministers" out there.

It just seems like the wealthy "ministers" are reaching for reasons to fleece, in a credible manner that is. And they seem to be taking a huge chunk of people down the pooper with them.
