I'm curious, why is it, that for century's people have killed in the name of god, and only latly do we consider it to be insane, most people hate people who are muslim, even though there are different views on muslim. And what I always found interesting is why all these different people thought that "god" wanted them to "kill" or "convert" everyone else. I personally dont believe in god, so don't start patrinising me, I'm just wondering who can come up with the best sullution, and dont quote and bible or anything, I want your opinion. and dont start saying I should or give me reasons why I hsould believe in god, personally I believe a lot of people are delusional. I wont even read your answer if you start patrinising me.

Assalamu Alaikum,
Its been observed that most of us write "MOSQUE" for $"Masjid" and even calling it as Mosque in daily routine, what elders and teachers say that the word "MOSQUE" means the house of mosquitoes not Masjid. So better be careful next time instead of writing mosque, u can write MASJID it doesn't matter..

Most we have seen the spelling of MAKKAH as MECCA The word MECCA means "Sharab Khaana" (place where a lot of wine is drunk) . So lets all of us be careful of writing MECCA.

Many people whose name start with Muhammed, write in a short form as "Mohd". This "Mohd" means "A dog which has a big mouth".

Guys please forward this message to as many muslim brothers and sisters as possible.

Thanks, May Allah Almighty bless u

destroying itself?

Jesus said it will be so bad in the end times that man will be on the verge of destruction. Jesus is coming back to set up the kingdom of God on Earth!

Going to college in California was interesting. I found many Californians to be very more inward looking. Many didn't know of places or things outside of the state it seems and some have never been out of Cali. In your experience, are Californians more ignorant about the world in general than people from other states, and is this because they live in such a large and important state, because they are really "relaxed" people, or is this due to something (if anything) else?

i believe the jihad is a process to cleans one's inner self of spiritual diseases through consistant prayer and meditation. Isn't that what jihad really is?

A few years ago when I was married, I had a really rough time of the relationship. [Hard to explain it... But I felt really torn apart]
It seemed I lost faith in the possibility of having a real nice relationship with a girl despite that it was the one thing I had always looked forward to, because I respected that we were married, and I felt I was copping this very hard!!

Anyway, what I wanted to ask was: The whole state of our relationship was affecting me so badly that I decided to go to a brothel!
I went in. There were girls sitting there; the lady asked if I wanted a girl - I nodded.
She said I needed to go out the back to prepare.
I went out to the back toilet, and decided I just could not do it!
So I shot out the back broken fence.

Can you give me some clues as to why I could not bring myself to intimately engage a girl when I so terribly badly needed the niceness of it in my life and needed just the sheer experience and reassurance of engaging a woman??

Ok, so I blew it during an argument _ I called my partner a racist for expressing what I considered to be very racist views_it seems that I am now considered worse for use that word than my partner for expressing the views in the first place. Am I bad to have used the 'R' tag?

Jesus didn't let people touch him before his ascension.

John 20:17
Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father.

Jesus permitted people to touch him before his ascension.

Matthew 28:9
And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

Luke 24:39
Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me.

John 20:26-27
And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side.

Can't the Bible make up it's mind?Or is it that the different authors couldn't agree on what fiction to make up?

Acts 8:16
They were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Acts 10:48
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord.

Acts 19:5
When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

in the christian sense then... be prepared to throw out all scientific, historical, and archeological facts that have concrete proof. And start believing in something that might not even be there. And that my friend is what you call Faith.

The Christian religion is Faith Based. Anything Factual don't matter. Any Question can be answered in the Faith Mode.

... oh that's how it has always been!
... believe or die heretic!
... I say she's a witch, lets burn her.

too many people with too much power over all people who need something to believe in. its just wrong.

Of course, I believe there is a God. Just not in the Christian Model.

shouldn't everybody?

How can people believe in mythical beings and invisible men in the sky? Religion is just so odd. I just don't understand how people can be so easily duped. Are people that afraid of dying that they have to invent an afterlife? WOW. silly isn't it. It's kinda along the same lines as hobgoblins, unicorns and vampires.
