[quote]how do Muslims know that God is our Father?[/quote] Just a brief answer: 1- I personally believe that the word "Father" in the current Bible and Current Jewish Texts is Not an accurate translation of whatever word God used in the original message. 2- Muslims dont have a "translation problem".

[quote]She's doing and following her heart and her mind and her soul[/quote] that is exactly the problem !!!!! she (and all of us) is supposed to follow God's orders and our own hearts, minds and souls must be consistent with His System as a whole not just one issue. By themselves, our own hearts, minds and souls could lead us astry.
[quote]Do we know of any societies that worshipped idols and can we say that they prevailed?[/quote] he doesnt realize that the commandment means that nothing else is worth your willing unforced submission.!!!! by this commandment alone ... God guarantees human's freedom from everything .... He, God, is the only one who have a say in what they should or should not do. .... is there anything in any constitution anywh

[quote]I hate to even wonder "What's next?"[/quote] Sometimes i think these machine talk to each other. It remind me of Sienfeld episode in which his monologue was about socks in the dryers ... they talk and decide that they want to escape ...one gets himself (!!!!) stuck to the dreyr's wall and runs away later [e digicons]:D[/e] These machines get together at nig

[quote]We have lived under an artificial canopy of fear over the last eight years. Fear of attack, fear of Muslims, fear that somehow gays are destroying marriage, and now fear of economic collapse: fear is a powerful crowd control measure. Fear stifles thought, it puts us back to using our limbic brains so we act like reptiles.[/quote] First: Well said Sodaiho. But i dont think it is artificial canopy... people wer
[quote]Then tell us ThinkALoud, how much did you learn from the media [/quote] I dont learn from the media Lula. and all of the allegations and rumers you listed are just that ... rumers... from people who couldnt find a logical criticism of his policies .. all they had is this nonsense .... how come all that did not come out before he started running for President? <span style="font-size: small;
[quote]He turned their eyes away from the fact he has no real credentials to assume the office of the President, matter of fact of the four people in the race McCain, Palin and Biden, Obama has the least amount of experience of the four. He turned away the eyes of the American people from the fact that he was mentored by some blatant anti-American scum, one of them a know terrorist that in the 60's tried to kill police and blew up several buildings.[/quote] Even you MM s
[quote]See TA I can't see how these two statements mesh. How do you know how much is "as much as you can?" Where's the measurement or the line we need to cross to show we are, indeed, good enough? What happens when God says......"you thought you did as much as you could but you really fell short. You deceieved yourself into believing you did enough when in fact your attemps were pitiful." That's why Jesus said there is none good but God. All thru th
[quote]The problem that must be admitted is the mainstream news and print media, ABC, NBC, CBS,and CNN, Newsweek, etc. were all so biased for Obama that they repressed real vital information and refused to properly vet Obama[/quote] You must be kidding ... and i am dead serious here. all of them ... and I mean ALL were pro-McCain .... even in their presenting of things that were in Obama's favor.

[quote]Not so fast, TA.[/quote] [e digicons]:D[/e] , always the devilish LW As for the spelling ... i spell it Qura'an (no a after the u) ... many people spell it Qura'n. The reason i do it that way is to be closer to the arabic pronuncitaion. the a' is like the a in Al Gore (just to remind you of him [e digicons]:D[/e] ). the second a is to make it sound like AAAAAl Gore.

[quote] Second how do they determine how much is "as much?" That's the problem I have with all works based religions regardless of denomination. It doesn't seem like a very fair God to have left us with no barometer telling us how much is "good enough?" What we think may be "good enough" may be surprising (rightly so) when we get on the other side. [/quote] First, God's will is clearly stated in His Books as command
[quote]I agree wholeheartedly that this is what we need to do. [/quote] Amen to all of these prayers .... [quote]I sense something very sinister is about to happen. I didn't feel like this when Clinton got in even though I was very against him as wel. Mostly with him though I just sensed hypocrisy. [/quote] You are really so
[quote]A Christian and (religious) Jew, despite the (alleged) fact that they were Muslims (first type) before their parents taught them otherwise, are not apostates. But the son of a Muslim father is, unless his father never taught him religion. I disagree with your translation "divine axiom". "Holy narrative" is a better translation, I think. King Cyrus of the Iranians was a Muslim (first type), Moses was a Muslim (second type), and Muhammed's follow
[quote]According to Islamic law the child of a Muslim father is a Muslim. Converting to any other religion is forbidden for a Muslim. Barack Obama is a Muslim per Islamic law and an apostate because he sees himself as Christian.

[quote]as it was said many times before by many Democrats/Liberals, it is my duty as an American to question his decisions.[/quote] Glad that you wised up and not waiting to say "i told you so"... we all have that duty ,,, and you dont even have to wait for the results. he said he would listen ... let him hear it ... loud and clear. just use reason not ideology .... and remember we are in the 21st Century
[quote]Amazing you guys still cry over this 8 years later. Just sit down and enjoy your victory.[/quote] that is the problem right there !!!! we were all hoping that he succeeds... and it was not crying over his win it was the loss of our Nation's resources, prestige and men/women for no good reason ... we still suffering that ... we should all be crying in our hearts. <span style
After reading all the comments here ... it is so obvious that Palin's "Real American" patriotics cant wait to see the newly elected president fall on his face and fail ... so they can say "i told you so" .... and for all those who complain about the way Democrats met W with contempt and anger ... there was a reason for it ... actually very good reason .... you can spin it anyway you wish ,,,, but th
