    Was Judas a black man?

    Wow... Never heard that one. =/ What I have heard, though, was my dad telling me that he used to hear that people of African (black) descent were all descendants of Kane(which was the "Mark of Kane"); at least, that's what he was taught when he was a Mormon. He told me that policy changed later...

    Do you think some or most members of ISIL believe they are Muslims? Please read first post.

    Good to see that Palmyra has been liberated, but it's too bad that so much there has been destroyed by ISIS (both in terms of human life and historical treasures). =/

    Indegenious Practices of Multiple Religions

    Ashem vohû vahishtem astî. Ushtâ astî Ushtâ ahmâi hyat ashâi vahishtâi ashem. "Righteousness is the best good. It is radiant happiness. Radiant happiness comes to the person to whom righteousness is for the sake of the best righteousness alone." To me, It's a reminder to be mindful of the best...

    Indegenious Practices of Multiple Religions

    Oh yah? Her family is Filipino. =) Hmmm... There's truth to what you say. Come to think about it, I guess another thing I do before stepping into a (generally) challenging situation is say an Ashem Vohu prayer... I guess I never thought of that because, as you say, it becomes a part of one's...

    Indegenious Practices of Multiple Religions

    I don't have that many, to be honest. Never taking the same path twice in a row (if I can help it) is one that I adopted from my friend (it's a Guamanian habit that arose from harsh times during the Spanish occupation). Another one I recently adopted was from my girlfriend's family; when I...

    Why it's confusing us more than guiding us?

    Ahh. I see. It seems to me that you've had a much different experience on this forum than I. If the questions you ask is "which one is right?", then you will get a million different answers with varying degrees of truth and value. They definitely would be full of contradictions. I can imagine...

    Age of Consent

    No no! XD As Buttercup states, they must both be 16+

    Age of Consent

    I'm fine with the current laws in my state. =) 18+ for adults, but for ages 17 and 16 their partners must be within 3 years of age.

    South Sudan Lets Fighters Rape Women Instead of Paying Salaries

    Dear lord... Interesting that this or Boko Haram will never see mainstream news coverage or significant international aid, but everyone's got their fingers in the ISIS pie. =/

    Extremely cool! Thanks man! =D

    Why it's confusing us more than guiding us?

    Errr... Maybe my assumptions are wrong, but it almost seems as though you are saying that all of us here are lost souls wallowing in our own whims and selfish desires aimlessly... Please correct me if I'm wrong. =/

    Zoroastrian Resource Thread

    Peacock?... Are you talking about the peacock angel of the Yazidi religion (which has elements of Zoroastrianism, among other religions), or the significance of the peacock in Zurvanism (an ancient denomination of Zoroastrianism)? I can't say I'm an expert in either (since the peacock doesn't...

    An execution of wounded by Israeli soldier !

    So let me get this straight... These guys attack (and injure) a soldier with the intent to kill him? I'm not condoning the soldier's action (which WAS cold blooded murder), but it's hard for me to feel bad for the attacker when I don't know all the info. Does anyone know if this was in...

    Zoroastrian Resource Thread

    Here's a channel that has some interesting videos, but the channel owner seems to be a fan of funkadelic visual/audio filters. XD None the less, he just uploaded a video after 3 years of inactivity, so I will be look forward to seeing if he will upload more! Here's a cool little mantra/prayer he...

    Transgender Law Makes North Carolina Pioneer in Bigotry

    Wha?... How many examples of this "rapist" behavior did they use? I can't imagine very many transgendered rapists are out there...

    Is punishment for apostasy evil?

    I was thinking this as well, especially in terms of Scientology (the treatment towards their apostates - Suppressive Persons). It's amazing how families will abandon children, or husbands and wives will leave their spouses over such a thing... The harassment, digging for dirt, intimidation...

    American Girl Wants to Marry MUSLIM Man, People's Reactions

    Oh god... XD You know, I've always wondered how many Muslims actually believe in that. I can't imagine there'd be too many, since the Hadith it comes from is supposedly unreliable, but there have to be SOME that do! ;)

    American Girl Wants to Marry MUSLIM Man, People's Reactions

    For sure. Opinions from people online aren't going to be perfect reflections of what people think in the real world. That said, the internet does give people the chance to say things they normally wouldn't when they are face to face with someone. I'd like to think the majority of people (at...
