    Hatred of Jews is poisoning Islam

    Me either Smart Guy and I have never understood this conflict over such a small piece of land. there are the sacred temples/mosques, etc, of three different faiths in that one small area. Does it really have to belong to any one group? Why not let all peoples share them in the interest of...

    Hatred of Jews is poisoning Islam

    Because its the right thing to do? Because humankind could learn from being kind to one another and doing good deeds simply because it is the right thing to do. For example, helping an elderly neighbor. Or reading them their religious text, whatever that might be, because they are blind...

    Are Blood Transfusions Really Life Saving?

    I wrote that in the early morning before coffee. I meant no offense nor would I ever. Mea culpa on the mixup but I promise you, it was just that. If someone finds that offensive, I am sorry but really.. its not like its a huge thing.

    Are Blood Transfusions Really Life Saving?

    I understand and respect that you believe this. You, I would hope, would understand that I don't believe, 1. That God has a gender, and 2. that God is so limited that God cannot be the God of all faiths. You are free to believe as you wish but I choose to see God as bigger than your faith...

    Are Blood Transfusions Really Life Saving?

    I am so sorry to hear that you are not being paid dear one. That must be very hard and frustrating. I pray you are able to get enough to eat and the like. As for how you represent your faith, I cannot think of a more peaceable and loving example of Islam. You, IMO, live and breathe what...

    Are Blood Transfusions Really Life Saving?

    How is a child dying of a severe liver lac not a health issue? And how in the world is that considered healthy??

    Are Blood Transfusions Really Life Saving?

    Perhaps not but let me ask you this. Have you seen someone who has lost a significant amount of their blood volume? I can tell you that it has significant symptoms that are not pleasant and could be seen as tormenting. There is significant lethargy. Confusion. Weakness. As the blood loss...

    Are Blood Transfusions Really Life Saving?

    How do you know yours views are right? Giving blood to save lives can be proven scientifically. The notion of life after death or even your waiting for paradise cannot be proven but can only be believed. What if you are wrong? Again, how do you know this? Have you proven this...

    Are Blood Transfusions Really Life Saving?

    Deeje, you are like a dog with a bone with this video. There are very few posts where you do not repeatedly state to watch. We are past that now. Either we watched it or we didn't. Can we move on to the discussion of what the video had to say? Now, that said, how can you say to Smart Guy...

    Are Blood Transfusions Really Life Saving?

    I agree with you Psycho. I cannot comprehend God sending a person to hell for getting a life saving procedure. Of course, I don't believe in hell so that tempers my views a bit. What I don't understand is a religion that believes that all life is sacred and some; such as Catholic lore, that...

    Are Blood Transfusions Really Life Saving?

    you make compelling and cogent points Smart Guy...and btw..I have missed you dear one. How are things with you and yours? I suspect, however, that Deeje will tell you that there are no exceptions allowed within the laws of the LDS views. As a medical practitioner, it is not something that I...

    Are Blood Transfusions Really Life Saving?

    Can you explain to me how you can know what a child understands of death when death is so personal a concept, including what lies beyond death, if anything? No one can understand that concept the same. For me, death means a stage that is the go between for my next life. Can you prove I am...

    Are Blood Transfusions Really Life Saving?

    Let me ask you this Deeje. Are you not also jumping to conclusions based on this video and its content? Have you researched this topic and studied it as medical professionals have? Do you really feel that all of us who disagree with you are wrong and if you do, again, is that not you jumping...

    Are Blood Transfusions Really Life Saving?

    I grant you that there are unethical doctors out there who would try to cover up mistakes however, given that it is nurses who administer the blood and we have a duty to stand against any decision that a doctor might make that we consider wrong, it is nurses who see what happens and by and...

    Are Blood Transfusions Really Life Saving?

    10 years is a lifetime in the practice of medical care and the practice thereof. In that 10 years, literally dozens or more of drugs have been put on the market and then removed for severe and lethal side effects. Lawyers sit around waiting for this to happen. Now, I grant you that lives have...

    Are Blood Transfusions Really Life Saving?

    I must admit, I did not know this of your faith. And personally, I think it wonderful that you do this with your children. It reminds me of the Amish who allow their children to go out into the world and see for themselves if they wish to follow the very harsh life the Amish live, all of which...

    Are Blood Transfusions Really Life Saving?

    You are correct that I did not read the article and I did take Olinda's word about it. So for that, I apologize. With regards to what you posted about it, and I did mean to respond yesterday but never got around to it, the two 17 year olds were within their rights to refuse given that they...

    Jesus reveals ban on LGBTs to LDS elder apostle Russell M. Nelson

    Thank you. And I, of course, totally agree. Ask any child with Down's if they have heard themselves being called ignorant and stupid by bullies and see the two words as just as mean spirited.

    Jesus reveals ban on LGBTs to LDS elder apostle Russell M. Nelson

    I agree Scott. I wish all discussions here could be as civil. Alas, some topics are very volatile for some people and will cause people to become less civil. Ah well, we can only continue to be civil and hopefully, such a means of discussion will catch on.

    Jesus reveals ban on LGBTs to LDS elder apostle Russell M. Nelson

    Ok. But as this is a debate forum and one can have differing opinions and views, even on something as simple as the use of a word, I will continue to see this word as I do. As I said to Prestor John, I wish you peace. Namaste.
