I have nothing against gays and lesbians as a fellow christian I am taught to love everyone but to hate the sin. Showing love for gays and lesbians has nothing to do with approving of their lifestyle and actions. With this being the case my question is how can people who call themselves christians bring themselves to openly approve of homosexuality and gay marriages?

I was assaulted by an attempted rapist, and when he was put in prison, the judge ordered a protection order so that he can never talk to me. I still have one unanswered question, that maybe some offenders out there can answer for me. Why? Why did you make the choice of going from helpful citizen to attempting to rape me? I did nothing, was minding my own business? Maybe some offenders here can tell me WHY they did it?
Only serious answers please.

Many Muslims told me that prophet Muhammed had NEVER had any sexual relationships outside of marriage. However, when I read the Quran and the biography of prophet Muhammed, i found that he had two sex slaves:
1- The first one was "Maria" who was a Christian sex slave given to him as a gift from the king of Egypt. The history tells that prophet Muhammed had sex with her without marriage until she gave birth to his son (IBRAHIM) and then prophet Muhammed freed her and married her.

2- The second one was Reyhana Bint Shimon, whom was enslaved during prophet Muhammed wars and refused his offer for marriage (like what he did with two other slaves) and preferred to stay in slavery instead of marrying him.

Does anyone know why muslims always say that prophet Muhammed never had sexual relationships outside marriage although he had those two sex slaves?

I don't go to church (but I do believe).....I almost didn't wake up in the middle of an apartment fire and when I did wake up it was so bad I panicked and fell down the stairs trying to get out and broke my foot. Then 2 yrs later I crashed my car and landed it on it's roof, writing it off and only twisted my ankle (both times officials and friends said I was lucky to be alive) Do you think "someone's" looking out for me, knowing that I'm a good person, or am I just plain lucky?

Muslims believe that God cannot be held equal in any way to other beings or concepts. This monotheism is absolute, not relative or pluralistic in any sense of the word. It is for this reason that Muslims reject the concept of the Trinity held by most Christians, which describes God as three persons.

Many passages of the Qur'an refer to Tawhīd. Passages such as:

"In the Name of God, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful,
Say: He is God, the One,
God is He on whom all depend,
He does not beget, nor is He begotten,
And (there is) none like Him." (Qur'an, 112:1-4)
This passage is commonly recited as part of the five daily prayers, known as salat.

I am sometimes worried sick by the media blitz of advertising, which seems to think that america is a target audience rather than a nation of real people. I want to know from what level can individuals reeducate themselves and the world around them to focus on thier interior rather than thier exterior. It is our idea of who and what we are that seems to be constantly in conflict with the themselves and the world around them. Most people dont see whats good about themselves because they think the outside is all thier is to who they are--so that they do not bother to develop themselves and grow. How can one bring whats inside out to the world, rather than use whats outside to call the world to attention?

Search long and hard then list what ever items you know of ... post your thoughts, as well.

"MATERIAL" refers to man made things, just to make my question clearer.

I unerstand that in the Muslim religion a husband can get a divorse by simply saying three times "I divorse you", while a wife has to go through a rigorous trial in a religious court and prove cruelty to the hilt. But husbands are allowed to beat their wives, and only have to give them a roof, food and clothes, so what is the use?

Then on divorse the wife only gets what she had before marriage, even if the husband is an oil shiek and made $millions during marriage.
In addition, Muslim societies impose a terrible stigma on divorsed wives, who then have a major problem finding another husband.

These rules and customs might have been more or less acceptable at the time of Muhammad when women were nothing more than chattels of men, but now seem highly discrimiatory against women and surely should be abolished. Even religions have to evolve. Only then will the Muslim religion begin to find some kind of acceptance in Western societies.
