I am a senior citizen who likes to play on a computer. It is fun to read others questions and answers.
I was learning today how big countrys are in the middle east?
Did everyone know but me? Israel is the size of Vermont and Jordan is the size of Maine.
Iraq is smaller than Texas and we have more population in Dallas than they have in the whole country. All of those countries in the middle east that is in the Newspaper everyday is smaller or about the same as the states in the USA. Except for Iran which is larger than the whole mid-west states, from texas to and including the Dakotas. So I got to thinking if they are that big and it has been so much trouble and lose of life to go into states like Afghanistan and Pakistan and Iraq which are smaller than Texas. wouldn't it be kind of foolish to start a war with Iran?

14 AnswersReligion & Spirituality10 years agoIn looking at places to get money should big business and religion pay taxes?
Joel Osteen makes 75 million a year and helps no one but himself. He preaches a prosperity gospel in other words send me money and God will make you rich also. Not just him alone but others such as big gates and other billionaires who pay very little taxes. If each one paid their fair share of taxes would we be having these problems.

2 AnswersInfectious Diseases10 years agoWhy do mosquito's fly into spider webs?
We had a very bad problem with mosquito's you could not enjoy the yard without being fully covered. I am allergic to chemicals so spray was not an option. First we were told to get hummingbird feeders, with that stuff they need protein and eat Nat's and mosquito's. That did help.
then one day in the corner of the yard was this huge spider web, which my husband was going to find this monster and kill it. But it was beautiful with the due on it and glistening in the morning sun. We do not have children so I told him to leave it alone. Then we notice the mosquito's were gone. In looking into the spider web there they were stuck fast. Why do mosquito's fly into spider webs to die? Is it a smell or the water clinging to the web? what makes them do that?

So why does the bible say in some places the world when it means the people on it?
Why doesn' it just say the people?
10 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agocan something dead under the house make you sick?
Either during a blizzard the sewerage pipe broke or something died under the house and the smell is terrible. It is to cold and rainy to go out crawling under the house to find out what it is.
It started with a skunk under the house and a really bad smell, then I thought maybe the cats killed him. Can that make you sick? WE have paneling around the house to keep them out they can get in the shed, large garage, etc. But they broke a Panel and crawled under the house.

12 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoJust wondering what would the muslims do ?
Everyone does what they want because if we do not they have threatened to do terror attacks.
What would they do if the US threatened to do terror attacks? or are they doing them all ready?
I mean do they really want Americans in the middle east?
5 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhy does Joseph meeks hate women and keep putting up there about women?
He also has rants against muslims and this makes me curious why? Is it that he has been rejected by women in general or was his mother mean to him?

5 AnswersRoyalty1 decade agoWhat is meant by the elements being hot? So that they melt?
I know it is symbolic, but what does it represent?
8 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhat is the earth mentioned in the bible?
Is it the literal earth, because it was said the earth was destroyed in Noah's day. Yet , the planet is still here. So what is the earth that is mentioned in the bible?
5 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoAgain what does it mean when it says the heavens will pass away with a hissing noise?
2 Peter 3:10 Yet Jehovah’s day will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a hissing noise, but the elements being intensely hot will be dissolved, and earth and the works in it will be discovered.
What are the heavens and earth mentioned here? what does this mean?
Did God somehow make the heavens wrong so that he now has to destroy the whole heavens?
How can the heavens be bad? So it is maybe not the literal heavens?
10 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoThe present wicked system of things is founded on a lie?
That man can successfully rule the earth independent of God or his laws or that some how some way a human can be successful at ruling the earth. Do you think it is possible that a man can please everyone and do right by everyone and actually establish a perfect government over mankind?
16 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoRev 20:10,11 did heaven actually fled away?
Can heaven fled away? Did God somehow make heaven wrong so that he has to remake it?
What is this scripture saying? and is it symbolic?
4 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoIs God the only one to execute children?
I read on here about when God killed the first born of Egypt. But nothing is said about pharoah.
Exodus 1:22 Finally Phar′aoh commanded all his people, saying: “Every newborn son YOU are to throw into the river Nile, but every daughter YOU are to preserve alive.”
Pharaoh was going to kill every male babie??? that is why Mosses was put in a basket in the nile river. In an effort to save his life.
Deuteronomy 18:9 “When you are entered into the land that Jehovah your God is giving you, you must not learn to do according to the detestable things of those nations. 10 There should not be found in you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, anyone who employs divination, a practicer of magic or anyone who looks for omens or a sorcerer, 11 or one who binds others with a spell or anyone who consults a spirit medium or a professional foreteller of events or anyone who inquires of the dead. 12 For everybody doing these things is something detestable to Jehovah, and on account of these detestable things Jehovah your God is driving them away from before you. 13 You should prove yourself faultless with Jehovah your God.
Those people you are so worried about threw their first born into a fire as a sacrifice to this false God.
The bible is full of passages where people are killing their own babies.
Yet all I read is how God is doing it, so isn't it fair to show that people are the ones who started doing it first?
11 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoI have questions about the Islamic faith?
I was reading the 5 pillars: you have to know their is a God.
pray 5 times a day
give help to the needy
fast during Ramadan or at least do not eat during the day.
Go to Mecca at least once during your life time.
What if you do believe in God, the demons believe in God.
You beat your wife and kids and take additional wives but you pray 5 times a day. When you pass a widow on the streets begging you call her disgusting names and belittle her but give her a few coins.
That is giving?
Then on vacation which many of us take you do go to Mecca at least once during your life.
These are the good works you do that gets you into heaven?
Nothing was said about being kind to your neighbor.
You keep the laws, that say do not murder, do you murder?
I am trying to understand I read the whole article about what you believe and teach and not one thing was said about kindness.
Nothing was said about love others as you want God to love you.
Nothing was said about forgiving others as you want God to forgive you.
Why is nothing said about forgivness? that is a question.
When you write an article about your faith you need to add more than what everyone knows of Islam. We have had the 5 pillars told to us a hundred times. But what does it do to better mankind, draw us closer to God?
11 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoIsn't the teaching of hell fire just a myth?
Can't we see as real thinking persons that cannot be true?
To keep someone alive just to torture them is cruel and no human would do that and they are really mean. so why do they teach that God would do that?
