A few questions about Islam

addysmum @addysmum (1225) • Canada 11 Aug 08

Hi, I have not studied Islam yet but I have become a inter-faith minister. Part of my duties as a minister as I see it is to dispel misconceptions of all faiths. At the end of my seminary studies I will be able to council in...

Aswan1980 Logically all of creation was started by the creator. This is one intelligent power who knows everything and is able to do all things. So all people were created by the one and the same deity, however different people having given their own spin as to the...

Too many religions in this world but can they save us from our sins.

Aswan1980 Religions are claimed by their adherents to be of divine origin. Thus the practising believers are convinced there is forgiveness for the sins that they have committed provided they sincerely repent from their mistakes and strife not to make the same mistake...

Depression

BGBabe @BGBabe (78) • United States 3 May 07

I'm curious, I've been on anti-depressants for a good part of my life, I'm now 47. I WOULD LIKE to eventually be able to stop taking them, as of right now, I KNOW I can't because a couple of month ago, my doctor was trying to...

Aswan1980 Not to argue with the "experts" or to contest with any of the positive experiences that people have had while taking these anti depressant drugs, but I'm convinced that this does not have to be a life sentense nor a substitute for a permanent solution. Anti...

Would you rather lose weight by diet and exercise or by surgery?

pilbara @pilbara (1436) • Australia 4 May 07

I admit that I am overweight so I decided to do something about it. I have joined weight watchers and am going to a gym doing cirucit training. In the last 5 weeks I have lost 4.5 kilos (10 pounds). I know someone else who...

Aswan1980 Losing weight through a prescribed set of regiments is better than having surgery done from the outset. Apart from the issue of bad habits partly putting you back in that very spot you were in before, it may still have some other ramifications. Change of habit...

Aswan1980 It's so sad to see young kids die a senseless death, there is so much of it too. Granted that this is not a present day thing, but something that has been happening for many years. What stands out is that it has been increasing. Teenagers shooting eachother at...

Is Dr Phil arrogant?

delenep @delenep (212) • United States 2 May 07

I watched Dr Phil's man camp recently and was horrified at the behaviour of Scott. More surprising to me tho was my perception of Dr Phil. Usually I find him to be very understanding, but this time I felt he came off as arrogant...

Aswan1980 The first question that arises in my mind is, 'why do people go on air with their problems'? I find it disturbing that people today as opposed to people some fifty to hundred years ago do not see any problem with or have no objection to revealing the most...

All around the world people are dying from Cancer , Aids and many different diseases . The more serious the disease is the more expensive the medication is . If you go to the hospital and only have something minor with you the...

Aswan1980 The drug industry is a billion dollar industry, with a system devised to push bad drugs for as much money as possible. If you take a simple painkiller like ibuprofen you are damaging yourself. Just read the pamphlet that comes with any of the drugs you get....

Aswan1980 Clean water is the basic need all humans have, and it can mean the difference between having lots of health related problems and not realising how they come or living a relatively healthy life. I would suggest to buy, boil or filter water if you know or...

Aswan1980 People should refrain from stigmatizing a large group of people ( e.g 1.2 billion muslims) or any one for that matter. When someone is arrested for a crime for instance murder you will never hear them being referred to as the caucasian man or woman that...

Can you sleep if there is noise in the room?

For me is a big problem to sleep in a noisy room. Every kind of noise disturbs me. I can sleep only in a room perfectly silent.

Aswan1980 Well that depends on how much I allow myself to concentrate on the sound, how intrusive it is to the state of mind I am in at that time and whether or not it levels out other sounds. When I'm too tired and sleep is trying to overtake me, I am allready at a...

I just did it again, sending in money to make money! I do not know why I don't learn from my mistakes. What mother doesn't want to stay home and work with their child? That is my dream. I just paid $55 to assemble things at home,...
