Religion & Spirituality - 18 November 2007

Hello everyone well I met a really nice man on Craigslist ( i know what your thinking, but dont) it kind of all started out as a joke for the both of us because we were both with friends just fooling around on the site. Well him and I started talking and he let me know he's from Detriot and he's now a federal agent in California. I really find him interesting and he sprung the news to me that he's Muslim. I strongly beleive in 1 God and my beleifs are strong as well as my whole family. I have always learned not to judge anyone but this is rough for me. He says he still practices Islam but he is always going down town and he drinks and he eats at Mexican restaraunts and such which from what little I know about Islam is there are strict regulations when i comes to meat.

Him and I are both Lebanese Americans which is rare finding in So Cali but I dont wanna let this one go. I respect his beleifs but I cant beleive the same things...any Suggestions?

And such an intelligent concept!
If it is "a fact", could there be an "Intelligent Designer" behind it?
Why or why not?

Don't you think that this means someone will come ??

if Jesus wants to say that no one will come after him he will just say "I am the way, the truth and the life, nobody comes to the Father"

If you believe that the Catholic god and the Buddhist god (for example) are the same just worshiped differently, different paths but same destination, same god, what is that called?

Many people alll around the world go to church on Sunday. And some even go on Wednesdays, Fridays etc... Imagine if all of these people, these thousands, millions of people actually put those 3 or 4 hrs a week into helping others, or making the world a better place, instead of sitting and listening to someone preach them the gospel... to me, trying to make a difference would be so much more productive than just church. The world could benefit so much..

Im not saying church is bad, just maybe for a few yrs... maybe just to learn the gospel, then go make a difference...

anyone care to share their views?

Sometimes it gets to be confusing because there are Jewish from all nationalities. I know some people who claim to be half Jewish because their mother/father is Jewish. Even one girl I know is half Jewish, it's weird because her father is an African-American and she refers to herself as half-Jewish rather than half-black.

Very confusing; are the Jews a race or a religion?

She died 1 month ago, I know it's too soon but when it happened I promised myself I'd be strong and move on as soon as possible, but after a complete month I feel exactly the same way as the day she died. What can I do? I promised her I'd face life but up to now I have just been a complete mess, there are times I don't even feel like living anymore, please help

Perhaps these distinguished and experienced archeologists might be able to offer a few suggestions. I haven't read anything about their opinions being asked for.

Positive Christianity is the religion that most neo-nazis use to fight against Jews because they believe that Jesus was a man persecuted by the Jews and as a result say that Jews are the lowest forms of life.

I also realized that most neo-Nazis claim to be Christian. Is there a link between Christianity and Nazi ideology?

Then you will force me to accept that Muhammad is his messenger. Thereafter you will force me to accept Kaaba as the center of worship (5 times a day). Next you will ask me to forget my heritage and culture, forcing me to accept a foreign culture in the name of 'we follow the messenger'. Next you will try to control my total life by laying rules like 'Photography is prohibited in Islam', 'Music is sin in Islam' and like that. Next you will prohibit my inquisitiveness by prohibiting me from studying other cultural and religious material.

So the question is that if someone wants to accept Allah, why YOU force him / her to accept all this appendage also ?

75% of the population calls itself Christian, dozens of TV and radio channels, and yet they can hardly hold ground against the horrible Satan and his atheist cohorts.

What's wrong with this picture?

If your not a christian, this question is just as much for you. When a question says like athiests only, or christians only, islams only, Jehovahs witnesses only, ect. Why is iy that people from other faiths or no faith; that the question was not addressed to, feel they have to answer it? Just curious.
