Why not the bible mention this? Is it like leah and luke in the star wars, their father cannot decide between good and evil?

Please understand i'm very proud of my daughter & how she strongly believes. But i'm confused about how to help her understand why maybe she should wait for such a serious event b/c she's too young to understand the reason for it & the commitment she's too young to know anything about that comes with baptism. Help! I don't think she's at the right age. Am I wrong?

It is a religion which,
throughout its 1,400-year history, has lent itself well to fanaticism, terrorism, mass
murder, oppression and conversion by the sword. Long before the age of political
correctness and multicultural indoctrination, Winston Churchill, that keen observer,
described Islam as, "that religion which above all others, was founded and propagated by
the sword – the tenets and principles of which are … incentives to slaughter and which in
three continents had produced fighting breeds of men (and) stimulates a wild and
merciless fanaticism."
It's so obvious that it hardly bears repetition. You don't have Orthodox rabbis
hijacking airplanes in response to Jews for Jesus. Jesuits don't shoot up Baptist
seminaries to protest the Reformation. Members of the Church of Latter Day Saints don't
tell you they'll cut your throat if you don't accept the prophetship of Joseph Smith and
the authenticity of the Book of Mormon. Buddhists don't put out contracts on those who
offend them. Hindus don't call members of other religions, dogs, pigs and the sons of
apes.

i live in a muslim community, my family is muslim though not religious, im an atheist,i don't pray or practice religion as my family doesn't force me but they are still not so open minded as to accept the idea of my atheism..so i just kept it to myself.
now i will move to live and study in a european country, which is like a huge opportunity for me to be the person i truly am (as an open minded free spirit atheist) but the problem is..that i will leave in this octobre which happens to be Ramadan in the islamic calender (the month muslims fast in from sunrise to sunset) i've never ever fasted in my whole life or been a good muslim and i wasnt planning on fasting, until one of the muslim friends from my nationality called me yesterday to gather with other students and decide where to eat at sunset .
it seems that she wants us to fast and eat together and maybe even pray together.. and i dont want to pretend..something that im not anymore and if i don't go to eat with them,

So I was walking into work the other night when I saw an empty Big Mac box on top of a hedge. In a random moment of kindness, I picked it up to put it in a bin which was only a few feet away. As I did so, a snail which had been hiding under the Big Mac box fell off of it and landed just where I was about to put my foot (as I was in mid stride), causing me to step on it and kill it.
What kinda crap is that?! I try and do a good deed and end up killing a snail? What a rip off. What would a Buddhist make of this?

This is a religion test. Take it , and please share how much did you score on different religions and what's the most religion close to your beliefs (Don't say I know my religion, I knew mine, but I took it, and was surprised to agree with so many other religions in some points)
