Society & Culture - 15 September 2006

The Pope made a comment about Mohammed being evil, and as expected, the Muslim world is all pissed off again and, as expected, ready to wage war on the West. *YAWN* (Isn't this getting old?)

First of all, the Pope was right (even though I'm not a big fan of him). Mohammed was an evil murderer and rapist.

Why do Muslims get SOOOOOOOOOOO angry when someone insults Islam or Mohammed? If you say something derogatory about Jesus to a Christian, they will be offended but they won't do anything. But if you piss off a Muslim, it's like they want to kill you. (This is why politicians in the West are so afraid of Muslims and Muslim anger.) Why such fanaticism? Is it because Islam is too young and has not yet had its reformation like Christianity did?

The only other answer I can come up with is that most people in Islamic countries are uneducated (kept stupid by the government). All they know is how to be fanatical about their religion.

Any thoughts or ideas?

Reading all these questions and answers makes me sure of one thing: if there is a God then He is crying His eyes out.

When people ask me, I never know what to say. I was not raised into a religion, so I think that makes it really hard for me to believe in the bible. I do believe that there "may" be a "god" somewhere in some form, I'm just not sure if it is true of the bible. I also impliment other religions into my life Buddhism, Hinduism, and I meditate at times...sometimes I will and sometimes I won't. What do you all think?

Tonight I called my brother and told him I was bored. I told him I am running out of people to talk to. He hesitantly told me people don't like to talk about religion. (meaning they don't like talking to me because I talk about God) I replied saying, I don't discuss religion, just spirituality (who I am, being true, honest, genuine, etc.)
If he could be on this forum right now! Wouldn't he suddenly feel in the minority??????
So, I'm learning to veer away from negative people, and gravitate towards people like myself, who love God and love talking about Him..........any comments and discussions are welcome and appreciated!

We lived in that townhouse for four years - the spring it was for sale, one of the windows decided to leak. We disclosed the leaky window on the disclosure form and also told the realtor we were in the process of having it fixed.

We had a guy come look at it - he tore the siding back, found the problem and recaulked - then replaced the siding and we had no problems. Paid him in cash - and that was that - also that was APRIL!

We have since moved 1000 miles away, new address, new phone numbers etc. Well, the hurricaine that went thru Philly brought a ton of rain with it and a leaky window to our old house. We still keep in touch with our old neighbor and he told us that the new neighbors were "livid" that the window was leaking and that they were going to 'go after us' over it. That was the end of August and we never heard a word. Our old neighbor told us they got it patched and that was good enough - tonite i get an email forwarded from the woman who bought our house to the

Is there anything that an American white christian can say that will not offend someone in this world?
It seems that American White Christians are expected to apologize for every little thing that they say or do wrong.
What about the non-american, non-white, non-christians, how come they never apologize?

and are you not afraid to tell others what the Bible says?...in spite of their stupid comments and ridicule ?

The Bible says:
"PREACH THE WORD, in season and out...reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all patience and doctrine; for the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine...but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers telling them what they WANT to hear...." (2Tim.4:2)

I'm a non-Christian. I like making the human beings. But seriously, I think there is a danger with Eugenics. Not so much moral or immorral, just risking something "unnatural". Your thoughts please.

And if so, what does that say about the idea that Jesus is the Son of God?

Did He not tell the convert on the cross that they would be in Heaven? Did Jesus not believe this?
