Religion & Spirituality - 30 September 2007

I received a lot of emails saying that I couldn't get pregnant so I had no business talking about killing children and abortion. According to this line of thought does this mean that if I saw someone about to kill a child on the street I should do nothing because I can't get pregnant?

My sister in law is a very nice, sweet person. She is also a born again Christian. I am not Christian (neither is my husband) and we are not raising our children in any religion. She keeps giving my kids Christian gifts (movies, stuffed animal that pray, books....) and it's getting a little bit old. My children are very young (2 and 4) and don't understand what religion is yet and I really don't want to start that dialogue until they are old enough to understand and think about it for themselves, not just blindly repeat what some stuffed praying bunny or talking tomato tells them about God.

Is there a polite way to ask her to stop this or should I just keep my mouth shut? I don't want to offend anyone, but they are my kids and I want to raise them my way.

I know this is a touchy topic- please no preaching about how I'm wrong. I just want to know if anyone has any ideas of how to say "No religious gifts please" without hurting her feelings or pissing her off. Thanks.

a friend said that muslims from middle east moved to america cause its safer for them. now i feel like this is unbelieveably a big lie, not because america isnt safe but logically islam started in middle east so if muslims aint safe in their own country then where the hell they would be safe ?

Salam Alaykum...

What are the limits one can go when talking and communicating to the opposite gender?

Also, I've heard that chatting or emailing with the opposite gender is forbidden. Is this true, because there times where I have to email a male school professor about an assignment, and things like that.

I appreciate your help. And please, serious answers.

Mat 17:15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.


Mat 17:16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.


Mat 17:17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.


Mat 17:18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.


Mat 17:19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?


Mat 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.


Mat 17:21 However, this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

he was diagnosed with a blood disease last night, and has gone through two surgerys in less than 24 hours. The docs. have to do a pressure test thing on his arm? Idk where they cut it open or something, and since he has really really low platelet count, he said theres a 60/50 chance that if they do it he can bleed to death, and if they don't do it he'll lose his arm. Please pray for my brother, he's only 15 and i can't even go to the hospital, i can't stand the sight.
thanks all <3

Someone in my family is making their confirmation this year. They need to fill out a form on a Saint of their choice. They chose St. Gabriel the Archangel.

1. Where and when was st. gabriel born and how long did he live?

2. What are some specific qualities in St. Gabriel?

3. What have you learned specifically about being a disciple of Christ from this saint? (in other words, what can the person learn?)

thankful for all help, this thing is due on tuesday.

I will post something straight out of the Official Mormon Doctrine book...

"Negroes have the mark of Cain and black skin as a sign of rebellion against God. The message of salvation is not carried affirmatively to them. Negroes are not equal with other races."

It is official Mormon Doctrine...I didn't make this up.

I left the Roman Catholic faith when I was 16 when I realized this wasn't the life for me. Since leaving I am now happy as ever. One of the main reasons why I left is because my sexual identity is not accepted in the church and I hated feeling inferior. The church wasn't so accepting towards the BDSM lifestyle and since I left and met with the open community I feel 100% better about myself and not feeling shame anymore.

Just last week I went to my local BDSM club in the city and who do I see there, one of the people I used to see in the parish at my old church. He didn't recognize me because it's been a while since I saw him there but I couldn't believe it.

So this brings upon the question, are people really as "holy" and religious as they appear to be behind closed doors and in their personal lives? It seems to me that human sexual needs and desires are out there and everyone will seek and find them in some form or another; no matter what your so-called faith preaches.

If a person is homosexual in orientation but is celibate is he living in sin? If he cannot change his orientation but lives a celibate life I'd think he was doing ok.

After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses' aide: "Moses My servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them-to the Israelites. - Joshua 1:1-2

A rocket launch is truly an amazing phenomenon to me. Tons of weight is stacked vertically to the sky with thousands of gallons of fuel exploding in a matter of moments. Soon the rocket drops its take-off boosters and uses additional boosters to move the rocket to the next stage of the mission. The first engines have a unique purpose...to get the rocket to the next stage.

Joshua was known for almost 40 years as "Joshua, servant of Moses." God's preparation for him required years of selfless service, training in the desert, and tests of faith. Those preparation years were booster rockets designed to move Joshua into each new stage of his development and his ultimate calling.

I went to a Free Methodist funeral yesterday. The minister talked about the deceased NOW being with the Lord in heaven. Is this right? I thought everyone is in a holding pattern until the Second Coming and final judgment. Do Christians get a "Fast Pass" and get to jump that step? Scriptural references would be a bonus.

I don"t believe any gods were responsible but when you think about it it"s so precise. The way the planets are in perfect synchronisation.

It seems too much of a coincidence that it was a big bang and everything fell in place as it is.

...the ineptitude of Yahoo? I have been locked out of my mail, and I have missed many questions that I definately would have answered from my contacts. I hope this is read by some so they will know that I was not ignoring their questions, but I could not access Yahoo mail. All I could do was go back and star already resolved questions. Since the "improvements" have begun, I have had this problem on a regular basis. Do we have any recourse other than griping here?
