There are many prophetical statements from prophet Muhammed that tells he swore many times to kick out all Jews and Christians from Arabian peninsula and only Muslims would live there. He already kicked out all Jewish tribes (Banu Nadir, Banu Koyanka'a, and Banu Korayza) and his followers completed that mission that he set.

The statements are too many to mention. However, you can start with those links and I am sure you can find many more (they are all in Arabic):

Was not that some kind of racism to kick people from their lands based on their religion or belief?

God is omniscient. When he created the universe, he saw the sufferings which humans would endure as a result of the sin of those original humans. He heard the screams of the damned. Surely he would have known that it would have been better for those humans to never have been born (in fact, the Bible says this very thing), and surely this all-compassionate deity would have foregone the creation of a universe destined to imperfection in which many of the humans were doomed to eternal suffering. A perfectly compassionate being who creates beings which he knows are doomed to suffer is impossible.

1) Fear of consequences (of punishment)
2) Civic responsibility (Abeyance to the rules)
3) Own code of ethics (practice what you preach)

When Paul says:
1 Corinthians 14:34 (New King James Version)
34 Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says.

What is the law that he's refering to? It that something from the Talmud? From the law of Moses?

Serious answers, please. Thanks.

Stop praying to non existent gods and hail the mighty unicorn of creation ( who does not exist obviously). Send 10 % of your income to the pink unicorn and you will live forever in pink heaven.

To see the pink unicorn in person drink lots of rum and coke.

One of the Amway dudes, or, he's at least from that side of the state (of Michigan) is running for governor this November. He's campaigning on a platform of jobs, jobs, jobs. We'll all be working for Amway instead of GM, Ford, Pfizer and Whirlpool! God help us! Isn't life fun?

I'm a debater and a skeptic but there is nothing better than someone making me think about my position on a matter. I am tired of the pathetic and poor defenses for religion and the existence of 'GOD'. Notice the quotations I placed around god; meaning that the god I speak of is the one described in the Bible, not just a name for a supernatural being.

I want a good defense for the bible with all of its variations, changes, contradictions, and lack of logic. After years of studying for an answer, I came to completely reject the bible as absolute truth. Anything else other than absolute truth would be pointless because GOD is all powerful, good, and knowing right?

Would he allow his word to be altered to the point in which someone like me would find flaws and huge problems with it? Am I suppose to question? What if I find it false? Am I not suppose to use the brain that he gave me and instead exercise 'faith' which is no better than false hope? Please give me an answer that is logical and intelligent

Is there any other reason than doing cocaine that someone would have a very long pinkie nail? In the last few weeks, I've noticed several nice, respectable guys with this (one a Hispanic waiter at a restaurant, another a white clerk at a store). The rest of their nails were trimmed short. Is there any cultural reason or anything that people would have this?

My mom really doesn't want me to read or watch Harry Potter books or movies, because we're christians and alot of other Christians don't like Harry Potter and all that. But she went to the Library and got me these fantasy books with TONS of witchcraft and magic in it that i liked. So i dont understand why she wont let me like Harry Potter. Lots of my friends watch Harry Potter and they're Christians too, so i just wanna know how you think i should talk to her and win her over... thanks.

upbringing or an experience that brought you to your lack of belief in a Creator?

St. Thomas Aquinas said: The truth of our faith becomes a matter of ridicule...if any Catholic, not gifted with the necessary scientific learning, presents as a dogma what scientific scrutiny show to be false.

AQUINAS CAME UP WITH 5 PROOFS OF THE EXISTENCE OF GOD:

Read St. Thomas Aquinas' 5 proofs of Gods' existence in the Great Books of the Western World that can be found in the reference section of any descent library. In short God was not created. Here is an abbreviated version of what Aquinas wrote:

1. Whatever is moved (subsequent mover) is moved by another. (One of Newton's laws of motion) But this cannot go on to infinity, because then there would be no first mover, and consequently, no other mover... Therefore it is necessary to arrive at a first mover which is moved by no other.

2. CAUSE AND EFFECT OR EFFICIENT CAUSE: There is no case known (nor indeed, is it possible) in which

If you have found the religion that's right for you, or if you're not religious at all, why can't you be satisfied with your situation and not try to convert others or persuade others that your way is the only right way? People are entitled to their own beliefs, or non-beliefs. Why the need to name-call and finger-point?
