Why did Gandhi have his views on False Christianity as opposed to a true christian ?
The Christianity to which Gandhi was exposed was usually the empty and formal mockery of True Christianity common to colonial empires. The same emptiness was seen in the Spanish conquests of the Americas in the Name of Christ which was in reality theft of resources and the enslavement of the indigenous peoples in order to enrich their nations and themselves. Christianity was supposed to be spread by preaching the liberating Gospel of Christ.
Reading the Qu'ran in Ramadan?
In ranadan it is good to recite each chapter of the Qu'ran everyday. So what if one of the days you're busy and you want to read chapter 30 because it's more easier for you. Is that ok to do?
Is this too controversial for teenage/young adult audience and would you read it?
It's certainly not too controversial. When "The Catcher in the Rye" came out, all of the adults FLIPPED cause they didn't think teenagers were supposed to think and act like Holden Caulfield thought and acted... but they did! Now it's one of the most important works of American literature. The fact that the women in your story are s doesn't matter. "Running With Scissors" and "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" both featured gay main characters, and they were huge throughout both teen and adult audiences alike. The specific genre of your story (aka asins with romance, for lack of better terms lol) doesn't necessarily interest me, but that doesn't mean you can't write a good book of that genre. Don't worry about the controversy. The world would have remained the same forever without a little controversy! I'm of the opinion that the whole point of literature is to push ons. That's what all the great books of the years have ever done. Orwell and Twain certainly weren't accepted by everybody, I can tell you that right now.
My sixteenth is in October - anyone know of any decent places to go?

How long are the cords for an lcd tv normally?
I'm doing a wall mount but don't have the tv yet as i am going to buy the tv after i have everything needed for installation. I need to know if the cords are at least 5'. I'm mounting above the fireplace and there is no outlet near there and I could get a surge protector as close as 4-5ft(without it being out in the open).
How do you smoke Ciggarets?
It's like learning to ride a bicylce -- you just have to practice. The discomfort goes away when you get the hang of it. The trick is to hold the smoke in your mouth briefly before inhaling, then mix it with air as you inhale: take into your mouth, remove cigarette from your lips, pause briefly, inhale smoke and new air. Your body will figure it out.
