Why do people think their religion is the one and only? You might believe it but why would you go on record to say that Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and others is the one true one? Doesn't it depend on when and where you were born?

If you were born in North America 3,000 years ago, you'd worship whatever your tribe did. If you were born in India now, most likely you'd be a Hindu. If you were born in Macedonia during Alexander's reign, you'd worship a group of gods. If you were born in South America in the early 1900's you'd be Christian. Isn't this so obvious? So then why do people think their God and belief is the most natural and logical belief that one can have and furthermore that it was the way it always was and will always be?
That's not to say that there is or isn't a God, but why one God and not the other? Why don't people at least see it's dependant on time, place and temperment and not on some "truth?"

I'm 15 and I had option "B"(ugly buck teeth that hurt), but I decided to go with option"A" after a lot of them got loose and I lost some front ones. Which would you choose? Why? Oh, yeah, no dental coverage and not a lot of money, so we didn't have many choices that were anything close to affordable. Hope to get some fake teeth in the spring maybe.

how can it be a secular government? What if majority of people do not want a secular governmnet since religion is an every day thing for people? We would see a destruction of democracy. I would say Christians like Bush and those that adore him really would hate to see a secular government. I would say the laws and practices of religious fanatics will interfere with the concept of democracy.

Next question if there is a deterioration of this 'democracy' in the states how can you enforce it on other countries in middle east, like Iraq?

I am asking this question without bias. I don't care what you think of me personally, but I would like to hear your truthful opion.
Why , if I am an inferior person as you suggest, do you care about my immortal soul? Does your God teach hatred and intolerance? And, by the way, are you so divinely blessed that you presume you can judge for God who is worthy of his grace? If you feel that you can answer this question honestly and intelligently please do so. I really want to understand how you feel.

Defintion of Taiyya: The word "al-Taqiyya" literally means: "Concealing or disguising one's beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, and/or strategies at a time of eminent danger, whether now or later in time, to save oneself from physical and/or mental injury." http://www.al-islam.org/encyclopedia/chapter6b/1.html

When would this not apply, cant all circumstance be viewed as having the potential for "mental injury"?

Can I get a Muslim to explain when they cannot lie or is that a paradox in itself, to ask as Muslim, allowed to lie under any percieved mental injury, a question.

This is one of the most amazing doctrines in all religion.

"intention is to deceive unbelievers about Islam, for the explicit purpose of assuaging doubts and concerns about Islam, and encouraging conversion. " http://www.faithfreedom.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=178
