You CAN'T be BOTH Christian and Muslim. Stupid.

My Response:
You're part of a certain religion if you were baptized in it. So you really can't be Islamic Christian because both faiths doesn't allow you to be baptized in any other religion except for one - if you were baptized Islam then baptized Christian after that then you're Christian because that's the last profession of faith that you had.
The CREATOR told us to become stewardess of His Creation. The CREATOR in Christianity refers to the God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit as three persons in ONE Triune God. In contrast to that, the Muslims believe that Christ is human and not God - they are "anti-Christs" in the most authentic sense of the term. They're Allah is one person in one God. The difference in faith is much too grave to consolidate in one person - this is impossible and I am afraid that you should rethink your notion of being Islamic Christian because there is no such thing.

My response:
Gandhi never prophesied anything so that means he's not a prophet.
Even though you have certificates that say your are both Muslim and Christian or Pagan and Catholic - it doesn't mean you are. You can believe in whatever you want to be but you can't call yourself as member of two opposing institutions - belief and institutional faith are not the same thing.
What you have is mixed belief - you're what we call a buffet believer. You go to a buffet of faiths then pick what you agree on and disregard what you don't believe in.
If you don't believe that Christ is God then you're not a Christian. That includes believing that Christ was both man and God.
If however you do believe this then you can't be Muslim because their doctrines say otherwise.
I do not mean to offend, only to clarify. You can also test your beliefs against your Christian friends and against your Muslim friends - tell them of your "compromised faith" and ask them what they think about it. You will get the same answers.
Unfortunately, I'm only telling you facts and not opinions so however you feel about my answer, I can't take them back because they're the truth.

My response:
Christianity is called as it is exactly because we believe that "Christ is God". And that Christ is both MAN and God.
You can believe all you want with whatever you say, and I am not judging you as a person. I am stating facts about faiths that even priest and imams would clarify for you.

As posted by a myLot member:
A friend asked me what religion I was and I said I was a Islamic Christian, and he asked what was that.
And I told him a person who believes in the teaching of bothe religions.
There are somethings in both religionsI totally know are true and agree with.
But in both religions there are somethings I do not agree with.
Actually I may become some other religions also.
What rule says I can not be more than one religion?
Why do I have to just stay with one? Is it wrong for me to respect & learn about others religious beliefs?
I am a person who believes that you can not love GOD is you do not love his peoples
and their beliefs and religions.
He created us all. We are not GOD and in all religious books it says to honor
The CREATOR and respect The CREATOR.
So why do people hate other peoples religion?
Did not your CREATOR tell you to love all and respect them?
So what is wrong with me being ore than one religion?
all I am doing is loving and respecting like My GOD has asked me to.

Sorry but thats not true...i have a couple of friends who are Christian Pagans (one is a Catholic Pagan) and their belief is that its between them and their God...which is how it should be...Just because YOU dont agree its possible doesnt mean its not possible..The OP obviously is comfortable following a mixture of religions and I say BRAVO to that..
I am afraid that you should rethink your notion of being Islamic Christian because there is no such thing.
According to YOU...but obviously there is since the OP is Islamic Christian..
Comment of discussion-starter:
How can there be no such thing?
Ghandi was 2 religions. And Ghandi was a very great prophet.
Actually I was never baptised to no religion I do have my certificate stating that I am
a muslim. I read the bible and the quran.
Not every christian believes the same. ALLAH is not a person, not a human.
There is only one GOD. He is called by many names.
But those names are all the same name.
The name sounds different to us because it is pronounced differently by different tongues.
And acutually I can call my self a Islamic Christian.
Why because there are people whoase religion is universalism.
The believe in all religions.
See when you only believe in one religion you close your mind to GOD.
Whe you start pointing out things in other religions you start to judge.
and in all religions GOD says not to judge.
So when people judge are they really being true to GOD.
And the one GOD we have made all people.
GOD did not make religion. Man made religion.
man seperated themselves into little groups called religion.
In reality we are all the same.
We all need water and food to survive.
I appreciate your opinion, but I will still be an Islamic Christian until I die.
i love both religions and it's people.
And I am sorry but I refuse to choose one.
Because they are both beautiful religions with beautiful peoples.
Comment of another member:
What do you mean by prophet ghandi
Response to the comment by the discussion-starter:
I meant just what I said Ghandi was a prophet. Just because you may not believe he was a prophet I do.
I believe he was here to give a message and he did .
People chose not to listen. Ghandi was a very peaceful person.
He was a great person.
My response:
Gandhi never prophesied anything so that means he's not a prophet.

Comment of discussion-starter to my response:
Well all that you say is not fact. There are some christians who do not believe
GOD was a man. And as far as all religions are concerned there is truth in
them and then there is some stuff man has thrown in there to satisfy him self.
You, nor I or anyother human being knows it all. only the being that created us does.
We are not perfect and make many mistakes and make laspe in judgement all the time.
Non of us is always right and that is why fact sometimes is hard to prove.
Allah is not a person. and for you tosoeak about a religion that you have never practiced or study is wrong.
that is like saying people of a certain color are all canibals.
It is ridiculous.
And the Christian bible says not to judge!
but as I read your statements you are upset and judging.
I thought not following the word of GOD in the christian religion was disobediant.
If I am wrong correct me.
But I am sure the bible says not to judge and I am sure it also speaks about not
following the word of GOD is being disrespectful and disobediant.
I kinds read the bible everyday.I also kinda read the quran everyday.
Infact I have both sitting here as I type.
and before I start talking about religions I always make sure I know a little
bit of the truth by studying them before I start trying to offend people.
and when I do study I find that I can not offend because what I
was taught usually was something hateful.
The hate between religions really needs to end.
It is children and selfish.
Because it obviously is only one way we got here.
and we all are still trying to figure it out.
If we were not we not have scientist and archeologist digging and studying the past right now.

RP to Reopen Nuclear Power Plant near Mt. Pinatubo
The Bataan Nuclear Power Plant is a 30 year old white elephant situated near the infamous Mt. Pinatubo. News of officials move to revive it are gracing the Philippine local newspapers. And as any political movement, we can say that this is clearly not for the betterment of the country but for the fattening of already fat pigs.
Now I don't know what is more baffling: even considering reviving a Nuclear Power Plant near a live and destructive volcano or actually allowing that some monstrosity is built in the first place. There is not even a feasibility study presented on the safety of such a structure. All Cojuanco presented were benefits reaped by Japan and Korea in their own Nuclear Power Plants. That's all very interesting but there is a question being avoided - did they build any of it near a volcano?
The Nuclear Power Plant was a project of [[name here]] a crony of the late Dictator Marcos. The plant never opened for operation, it didn't even finish in construction although much has already been spent on it - and much more has been lost in the tallies.
There is much to learn from the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant History. It was a project not meant to finish - a means to pocket more tax payer's money. And the only thing Cojuanco and Arroyo are reviving is an old scam. If ever they find a means to actually have the project approved (they already have a budget of $1 billion drawn out) then they will put up a front of renovating and upgrading the facilities. But it will, as it did before, close before the first light bulbs on the corridors are turned on. These business men will wait for the inevitable but definitely NOT until all the budget has been spent: the people's cry to close down the highly dangerous infrastructure. They will fight, then they will concede, making it look like they did not have a choice and that all they meant was to provide their beloved country with better energy resources but the people are too hard headed to make room for changes.
A well thought theatrics.

"Feeling Agitated"
Migs and I got sick after eating spoiled banana cream pie. He ended up with diarrhea and fever and I threw up everything I ate and also had fever and chill the next night. I'm supposedly feeling better right now. I don't have a fever, I'm not throwing up, but I just know I'm not well.
I feel like I'm in a hospital bed - and I know that feeling only too well. I want to stomp my feet and scream just because I think it'll do me some good. My boss told me to go home but I can't - I'm more scared of leaving for home because there's no one there and if something really does happen to me then there would be no one to help me. I'd rather stay here in the office and try not to get in anyone's nerves while I fiddle and try to figure out what's happening.
My eyes are also not focusing well. It's utterly annoying! I can't even play games to pass the time because I feel like there's always something at the back of my head.
I should probably go to a doctor but I'm already taking antibiotics prescribed by my cousin doctor over the phone - and boy are they expensive!
I hate this feeling!

Don't say "let's do this" when you're not going to help anyway
I threw up twice today because I had to clean up the spilled spoiled choco milk we found in the pantry when we came in the office. I didn't want to touch it at first, it wasn't my job and it wasn't my fault. I generally don't mind going out of my way to do things that will help the people around me condoning inconsideration is something that goes against my principles. Whoever spilled that milk should have cleaned it up - or at the very least asked the maintenance to do it - if it was too late to call for maintenance then what about leaving it there for tomorrow but making sure that you do call for maintenance first thing in the morning?
The other wrong thing that followed is that because I vocally expressed my unwillingness to clean up an officemate decided that "they" should do it - apparently he can't stand the stench (not that I could, but I was more than willing to step out of the office and wait for someone to right things). I ended up helping them and doing more than a fair share of work... and the officemate who actually had the bright idea of cleaning up did the least. What was that about?
Strike three: we're being asked to sign a sick leave but we're only leaving two hours early. Whatever happened to flexible time? Something that many of my office mates use to come to office late. Well I'm skipping this for now, and will just ask my boss if we really need it if she looks for it tomorrow. A Sick leave is supposed to be for a whole day right?

Racist Manhattan Nuns Sue Filipino Wife
Originally published in Oyen's Associated Content pages.
The Missionary Sisters of Sacred Heart (MSSH) filed a lawsuit against Gloria Lim living in a neighboring apartment. The wife lived with husband, Michael, is being sued for cooking tuyo and tinapa - dried fish with strong smell that is obviously appealing to Filipinos but revolting to the American nuns, so much that they called the Fire Department to report on a corpse' stench.
Dried fish isn't exclusive to Filipino culture as other Oriental cultures like the Chinese and the Malays find it a common staple viand.
I would have found this absolutely hilarious if not for the very last part of the news that read that the nuns are seeking $75,000 for damages.
This the part where I go berserk.
SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS?? ARE YOU NUNS INSANE?? NOT ONLY ARE YOU RACIST EVEN THOUGH YOU CLAIM NO OFFENSE AGAINST THE WHOLE FILIPINO NATION BUT YOU'RE HELL GREEDY! Whatever happened to charity? You wouldn't allow death penalty but you're more than willing to sue an innocent couple SEVENTY FIVE F-ING DOLLARS for a smell that you could not appreciate because of ethnic differences? And "damages"? What exactly was "damaged"? Your nasal passages?? WHAT ABOUT GLORIA'S DIGNITY? How much do you think that costs? I'm pretty sure you can't afford that, human dignity being the most important virtue and all.
Now is it just me or do I smell hypocrites?
Actually the monetary claims that these nuns are trying to put their clammy OH SO HOLY hands on isn't even the main issue here even though we all know that really puts the Church to shame. Whatever happened to human rights? Are these nuns claiming that I can't cook what I want to cook? What if I just so happened to like dried fish and the smell is just absolutely delightful to me? What the HELL is wrong with that? I could care less if you disagreed, but keep it to yourself! You don't see me wincing and calling out God's wrath on me when one of your not-so-hygienic sisters pass by my path. You see, I understand that having to sweat under your black constricting clothes might just be as uncomfortable as I imagine it. I won't even complain even though you have halitosis even though no one could have any excuse to stink that bad. You won't see me suing anyone for polluting the air because of religious or traditional reasons - not even when I so do not agree with how spices ooze out of an Indian's sweat glands and pass me by jogging. I don't even care that many Americans think we Filipinos smell like fish, not like they smell appealing to me.

Twilight Crap
Bella is full of crap. This is teenage pregnancy waiting to happen. I mean come on!
I read Twilight just to prove to you how crappy it is. I don't want to listen to anymore, "but you haven't even read it yet?!" SHUTUP!
Chapter 7
"I was already in too deep. Now that I knew — if I knew — I could do nothing about my frightening secret. Because when I thought of him, of his voice, his hypnotic eyes, the magnetic force of his personality, I wanted nothing more than to be with him right now."
In too deep? You haven't even kissed yet! You haven't even had sex yet! What the hell is wrong with you girl? You're an embarrassment to all women! I know that Stephenie Meyer researched about her audience before she wrote the book... but does it mean that Bella is actually the embodiment of her most generic audience? THAT IS JUST SAD, PEOPLE! Pathetic little creature.
Chapter 9
I suddenly realized that I had never once noticed what he was wearing — not just tonight, but ever. I just couldn't seem to look away from his face. I made myself look now, focusing. He was removing a light beige leather jacket now; underneath he wore an ivory turtleneck sweater. It fit him snugly, emphasizing how muscular his chest was.
OMG. I wouldn't even write that in my own personal diary. That is too embarrassing. It's not that I wouldn't admit to such stupid crushy-mushy-whatever but it's just that I'm too sane for that.
A friend of a friend has a similar experience though...but much more easily forgivable. They went to watch the annual Oblation Run - where fraternity guys would run a course naked. Then after the run, my friend commented, "Oh my god, some didn't wear a mask", and she went, "really??"
Harry Potter on book 5 had more sense than this Bella-whatsherface.
Chapter 11.
I was stunned by the unexpected electricity that flowed through me, amazed that it was possible to be more aware of him than I already was. A crazy impulse to reach over and touch him, to stroke his perfect face just once in the darkness, nearly overwhelmed me. I crossed my arms tightly across my chest, my hands balling into fists. I was losing my mind.
Seriously now.
Chapter 12.
There's no point in quoting from this chapter - I might just end up typing the whole thing. This Edward Cullen vampire guy can read people's minds but can't read Bella's - WOW! Something original! I'm no writer and I can write that kind of crap. Anyway, I'm not ranting about that. Why in the world would someone who's lived at least a hundred years NOT understand Bella? She's pathetic, and she's too ordinary. Just because you can't READ their minds, doesn't mean you can't read people. And something as ordinary as that girl is too easy to read, she's a boring friend. Is this vampire dense or what?
And what's with telling us about that girl's breakfast or that she fixes her hair? Are you deliberately wasting paper? And what about this - why in the world would anyone like the smell of a vampire's breath? Can you even IMAGINE that? These things don't cook their food and mostly from what I've watched, they don't wash them either.
Chapter 16.
Most of the wall space was taken up by towering bookshelves that reached high above my head and held more books than I'd ever seen outside a library.
Honest. But not well written. Bell from Beauty and the Beast's gasp was more intriguing than such description. This is like telling a story to a 7 year old just to bore him and force him to go to bed.
Chapter 23.
On the brink of death and in great pain - could you really summon yourself to say I love you to your boyfriend? That's way beyond cheesy!
Chapter 24.
"After I pulled him off you, Emmett and Jasper took care of him." There was a fierce note of regret in his voice.
WHAT?! You're serious about cutting off the most potentially interesting part of the book? Where the hell is my vampire show down? No fight? No infinite snarling? No ripping off of arms? NO REVENGE FOR EDWARD?
Look, this is the WORST time to NOT meet people's expectations. It's SO not cool.
Conclusions
Most of Stephenie Meyer's female subjects - when she was "researching" about teenagers for her book - are bad in sports, are bad in walking, always get into trouble, don't shower everyday even though they go to school everyday, like old men who look young, don't mind looking like a rag doll as long as they're dating the most popular boy in school - I think that kinda makes it complicated. Doesn't that translate to self-confidence? Not necessarily. It translates to wanting to live a fantasy - and the fantasy remains, "someone out of your league". Get a life.
These girls would probably end up as battered housewives. They fit in the description: low self esteem, who punish themselves to be with "the one they loved" even though they have no idea what that means, and they don't mind suffering irrationally for it.
Oh and they like it when the guy keeps on asking them what they're thinking. Well, that's something useful for the guys - though I doubt if you would really want to be with someone that self-absorbed. It's still useful information right?
Now about vampires. Are you telling me that they fall in love with FOOD? I can't imagine falling in love with a human chocolate.
I READ IT. HAPPY NOW?
I read Twilight just to prove to you how crappy it is. I don't want to listen to anymore, "but you haven't even read it yet?!" SHUTUP!

A friend of a friend has a similar experience though...but much more easily forgivable. They went to watch the annual Oblation Run - where fraternity guys would run a course naked. Then after the run, my friend commented, "Oh my god, some didn't wear a mask", and she went, "really??"
Harry Potter on book 5 had more sense than this Bella-whatsherface.
Chapter 11.
I was stunned by the unexpected electricity that flowed through me, amazed that it was possible to be more aware of him than I already was. A crazy impulse to reach over and touch him, to stroke his perfect face just once in the darkness, nearly overwhelmed me. I crossed my arms tightly across my chest, my hands balling into fists. I was losing my mind.
Seriously now.
Chapter 12.
There's no point in quoting from this chapter - I might just end up typing the whole thing. This Edward Cullen vampire guy can read people's minds but can't read Bella's - WOW! Something original! I'm no writer and I can write that kind of crap. Anyway, I'm not ranting about that. Why in the world would someone who's lived at least a hundred years NOT understand Bella? She's pathetic, and she's too ordinary. Just because you can't READ their minds, doesn't mean you can't read people. And something as ordinary as that girl is too easy to read, she's a boring friend. Is this vampire dense or what?
And what's with telling us about that girl's breakfast or that she fixes her hair? Are you deliberately wasting paper? And what about this - why in the world would anyone like the smell of a vampire's breath? Can you even IMAGINE that? These things don't cook their food and mostly from what I've watched, they don't wash them either.
Chapter 16.
Most of the wall space was taken up by towering bookshelves that reached high above my head and held more books than I'd ever seen outside a library.
Honest. But not well written. Bell from Beauty and the Beast's gasp was more intriguing than such description. This is like telling a story to a 7 year old just to bore him and force him to go to bed.
Chapter 23.
On the brink of death and in great pain - could you really summon yourself to say I love you to your boyfriend? That's way beyond cheesy!
Chapter 24.
"After I pulled him off you, Emmett and Jasper took care of him." There was a fierce note of regret in his voice.
WHAT?! You're serious about cutting off the most potentially interesting part of the book? Where the hell is my vampire show down? No fight? No infinite snarling? No ripping off of arms? NO REVENGE FOR EDWARD?
Look, this is the WORST time to NOT meet people's expectations. It's SO not cool.
Conclusions
Most of Stephenie Meyer's female subjects - when she was "researching" about teenagers for her book - are bad in sports, are bad in walking, always get into trouble, don't shower everyday even though they go to school everyday, like old men who look young, don't mind looking like a rag doll as long as they're dating the most popular boy in school - I think that kinda makes it complicated. Doesn't that translate to self-confidence? Not necessarily. It translates to wanting to live a fantasy - and the fantasy remains, "someone out of your league". Get a life.
These girls would probably end up as battered housewives. They fit in the description: low self esteem, who punish themselves to be with "the one they loved" even though they have no idea what that means, and they don't mind suffering irrationally for it.
Oh and they like it when the guy keeps on asking them what they're thinking. Well, that's something useful for the guys - though I doubt if you would really want to be with someone that self-absorbed. It's still useful information right?
Now about vampires. Are you telling me that they fall in love with FOOD? I can't imagine falling in love with a human chocolate.
I READ IT. HAPPY NOW?

Why Men are Never Depressed
...something from the inbox.
Men Are Just Happier People-- What do you expect from such simple creatures?
Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours.
Wedding plans take care of themselves.. Chocolate is just another snack.
You can be President. You can never be pregnant.
You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park.. You can wear NO shirt to a water park.
Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too sticky.
You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt.
Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character.
Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them.
New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time.
Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat.
You know stuff about tanks... A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase.
You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of Thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend.
Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes.
Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck.
You can play with toys all your life. One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look.
You can 'do' your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes!
No wonder men are happier.

How To Earn on Sharing Images
There are many ways to share images - creating online albums and sharing with friends. However, there are only a few legitimate ways to share images and earn from it at the same time.
Shareapic.net's current pay rate is $1.00 per 4,500 image views. That equates to $0.22 per CPM (Cost per thousand). But as long as I'm telling you about it, let's remove whatever misunderstand you might get - just in case you don't read their FAQs page. You'd only get this much, which is quite a lot, if you send in North American and Western European traffic to Shareapic. If you're sending in Asian traffic, then you're only earning $.05 per page view. This may be discouraging, but if you'd look at where they're earning from to be able to pay their members, then this is actually fair.
You will get paid when you reach at least $20.00, you'll receive your payment within seven (7) business days. Right now they're only paying through PayPal, which makes it very convenient for everyone.
What's special about Shareapic is that they give you thumbnail image codes (both HTML and BBC) for all the images that you posted. That means that you can easily post these thumbnail images on your blog or in forums, which will direct to your Shareapic when clicked.
The usual rules follow, you're not allowed to post un-clean images, and such. If you break the rules then either your gallery gets deleted or your account gets suspended. It's all THAT easy!
If you're wondering how a blog post that hosts Shareapic's thumbnail images would look like then here's a sample on my blog: Another Side of the Most Delicious Fruit in the World.

How to Deposit thru BPI ATM
So it's an extended Christmas for me! It turns out that I was paying in advance for my stay with my previous tenants so I'm going to get some of my money back :D
So what information to give when somebody else is going to deposit money into your ATM account?
DEFINITELY NOT YOUR PIN. Never ever ever give your PIN to somebody else. And it's "PIN" not "PIN number", mind you. Of course I knew that but it was nice of Gene to remind me about!
You only have to give your Account Number. That's all, nothing more, nothing less. There's no other space to write any other information than that, anyway - except for the amount of cash to be deposited.
Your Account Number is a 10 digit number located at the back of your ATM card. It's where you signed your name. It's in the format XXXX XXXX XX so there's no way you'd get lost.
According to Gene apparently there are hardcore, (literally) old school ATM cards that have the same digits in front, and at the back - that's your Account Number.
Additional information is thanks to bianroxas.
