(FOOD FOR THOUGHT) "Doubts are raised whether God exists or not. Those who affirm that God exists and those who deny are equally incompetent to say anything about God if they know nothing about the nature of God... God is Omnipresent. There is no need to search for Him anywhere. Everything that we see is a manifestation of God. Wherever we are, there is God. There can be no greater folly than to deny the existence of God when the whole cosmos bears witness to His handiwork. Everything in creation must be viewed as a manifestation of God. Only with this basic faith can one develop one's human personality".
I think only God knows God's nature r.p. so in that regard I think we are all " Incompetent " or ignorant if you will.
I noticed you had quotation marks, may I ask who you are quoting?
Dear Patrick, You are right in observing that only God can know God’s nature. Like Jesus we had many Incarnations of God. These words of truth come from one of ‘them’. For propriety sake His name is kept back intentionally to avoid unnecessary controversy. Anyway does it matter, if the words thus spoken are true?Regards.ls
I think this whole thing is utterly ridiculous. By the sudanese acting like this, it will just discourage any other teachers from going out there to help. I'm all for respecting the laws and cultures of the country that you're living in, but the way that this has been handled is disgusting.

that probably answers the question about one world wide belief i watched an interview or the uk news reader questioning the Suddans ambasader and he told there side realy well and reasonable he said (some thing like) bears to a sudanise are not cuddly toys there bad and to name something bad mohamid is a serious affence
which is fair enough i thought its just the harsh punishment thats a bit

Bears are not "bad"; in fact the bear was one that a child brought in to class. Muslim law states that noone is allowed to depict the prophet muhammed in any way, thus by naming a toy mohammed this law was broken. However, the teacher did not do it on purpose, it was an honest mistake. She was attempting to teach the children democracy and so asked them to vote on which name to pick for the bear. The majority of the children chose Muhammed.
Admittedly, this does break their law, but I don't see why this couldn't have been kept quiet, and the teacher simply deported. Or, why didn't any of the other teachers she is working with have a quiet word to her and tell her that it wasn't the best thing to do.
This was an honest mistake, and by the Sudanese making a bit deal out of it, then have incited more religious hate in the world. I imagine this story will greatly affect the number of westerners who will go and help teaching, or will go and do any other job over there.
