Society & Culture - 16 September 2006

I DO NOT agree with what the Pope said. I think he is an idiot to say something like that in today's political climate. He was obviously not paying attention to the furor that was ignited when 'those cartoons' emerged earlier this year. What did he think was going to happen? Anyway, my real question is: why do the Muslim population over react every time something appears that criticizes their religion. Yes, other religions have a reaction, but do they burn things, run around the streets with fists in the air and anger in their hearts, threaten death to the person responsible and everyone associated with that person? Don't you think it shows how this group of individuals is totally intolerant of any outside opinion or discussion?

"If you want to make God laugh, tell him your future plans."
After you answer this.....what ARE your future plans?

Yes, I just saw The Wicker Man. But I've seen pics and read about the whole "wicker man" sacrifice thing in other places. Do you think it was real, or just propaganda? Or maybe the Druids started the rumor to make themselves look tougher? (BTW, the movie is entertainment only--it has just a wee tiny bit of truth in it!)

The curse of God on the infidels! 2:83

God is an enemy to infidels. 2:92

Whoever offers violence to you, offer you the like violence to him.
2:190

Fight for the cause of God. 2:245

God loves no infidel. 2:276

And when the sacred months are passed, kill those who join other gods
with God wherever you shall find them; and seize them, besiege them,
and lay wait for them with every kind of ambush: but if they shall convert,
and observe prayer, and pay the obligatory alms, then let them go their
way. 9:5

How can you say this is a peaceful religion?

just before coming a christian i was tired and fed up of this world it seemed overwhelming sad. the next morning i woke up and opened my eyes to see this figure coming at me i tried observing it to make sense of this frighting unexpected thing it wore white cloth with a white cloak but when i looked at its face there was no detail only these sparkly eyes like bright white stars like its eyes where powered by a nuclear reactor or something it came and bent over me and i closed my eyes in terror and when i opened them it was gone. has anyone else ever seen this thing. i wondered if it had something to do with becoming a christian like some sort of angel or something!

2006-09-16 06:16:53 · 18 answers · asked by christopher.1990 1 in Other - Cultures & Groups

-If there were no Heaven waiting for you when you die.....

-If there WAS a GOD, but he didn't do things like help you find love, a job, or a cure (because it isn't his responsibility).....

-If there was no Jesus waiting to vouch for you.....

-If there were no special powers awarded to believers.....

-If there was no Hell after death (to fear).....

-If being a Christian didn't make you any better than anybody else (saved or otherwise).....

-If there were no superhero-like Angels that "had your back".....

-If the only punishment your tormentors would recieve was the fruit of their own bad judgement.....

-If Old Testament Judism was perfect (when properly practiced)...

-If Jesus Himself said, "NOT ME, YOU IDIOT, HIM!! JESUS CHRIST!!"...

-If Brittish Nobility practiced Buddhism...

-If all you were promised were the benifits and prosperity that accompanied a peaceful, honorable existence...

Would you still want to be a Christian?

Judge not, that ye be not judged. Matthew 7:1. So-called Christians may be judgemental. But those who really do what Christ says, aren't. So you gentiles out there who hate stereotypes don't call the whole "basket" bad because of a few "rotten apples".

This is REALLY annoying me.

Am I the only one who can see what's really going on here?

WHY DID THE POPE DELIBERATELY INCITE UNREST AND ANGER TO BILLIONS OF PEOPLE ?

THAT is the question.

The very idea that it was an 'innocent mistake' is so bloody ridiculous its pathetic. He had a script. He plans his speeches. He has advisers. He KNEW what he was doing, and knew that a fringe few would burn effigies. He also knew that the TV companies would love to film this. And he knew he could slip off-stage and let all this bile flow toward Islam.

Thank f*** I am not a christian or a muslim. WAKE UP AND SEE THE VILLAIN.

HI I'm Catholic and I was just reading about what the Pope said about Muslims and it just reminded of how much religions seem to fight eachother for example Christians always tell people of other religions or who don't believe in God that they will go to hell if they don't believe in Jesus teachings or SOME Muslims who belive that if you don't believe in the Prophet Muhameds teachings you are an infidel or practicaly how religions just believe if you don't believe in what they believe you are an idiot why can't we all just get along and respect what other people believe in because all religions really are the same thing we believe in things that haven't been proven true so I don't see how anyone can call ones religion false or say that their religion is better why can't we all just get along?
