jhayat When one group of people insist that their way of thinking is the only way and no arguments, this causes war, distress and poverty. Most of these people want to be right, even though they are not, and they do it with a gun. These attitudes are not going to...

jhayat Oh, thank you so much for promising not to hit me on the head with a holy book! There are a lot of rules we follow, but don't resent them. Driving on the right side of the road, walking on the side-walk and not the midle of the road, geting a security number,...

jhayat I feel for you, but this was the wrong reason to leave the church. You should have insisted and told them that a woman was taken out of the man's rib, not from his head to rule over him, and not from his foot that she should be his slave, but she be an...

jhayat I love reading books. My aunts and mother developed this habit in me, and I must read a book before going to bed, even if it is a few pages. I read all kinds of books, and try not to limit myself to just one type. Though I love Agatha Christie and Sidney...

jhayat I don't think there is anything in Christianity that forbids cremation. "Dust thou art, and to dust thou will return', so what does it matter if you are buried or burnt. The promise of Our Lord is that he will raise us up in more beautiful bodies, heavenly...
