sorry again to all of you who didnt deserve what i said i was angry and upset and it came across worse than it was intended i meant you people on YA not the entire US and i never thought about others understanding of(ignorant) till i read your answers. in my area its something that we say all the time it can mean be ignorant (no manners) or don`t be or your (ignorant)your ignoring me or you don`t listen . thanks to the few people whos answers proved they`re a better person than i am ,you put me in my place. and also thanks to the rest and the 42 hate mail , that showed i wasn`t that wrong and saved me from feeling 100%guilty youv`e proved me right

Because we are smarter and richer than any one elsewe have to watch out for other

How can a statement made by somebody else, so many years ago, which the Pope just quoted, make Muslims to start burning Churches, even the churches belonging to other denominations, who are not Catholics. What is wrong with these people?

when muhommed's violent and brutal lifestyle is very clearly documented in black and white in the Quran, i still cant understand how anyone can call him a holy man. as an atheist before i go to my grave i like to know the answer to this question that has been troubling me for the past 7 years?

2006-09-17 03:05:11 · 7 answers · asked by walking stick 1 in Religion & Spirituality

Simple question. Yes or No.

Please explain why they do or do not have a choice.

I do not need to know why they will not go to heaven, just need to know your belief as to if a Baby has the choice and why you believe so.

Is God 3 in 1 or are there 3 supreme beings who are equal in rank?

First I asked this question:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AgxVdj9tf_XlebMlJ4g.S1Dsy6IX?qid=20060917053616AAdapdu

As you can see, a lot of ridicule and very few who took it seriously (and thanks to those who did).

Then I asked this question:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AuDmT_oiWNmlzoo9F0w9BMnsy6IX?qid=20060917063950AA7FkiH

As of 19 minutes after asking the question, there were -no- answers (which would be a first for any of my 300+ questions).

Care to explain why the christians on the board this morning are having a problem with this concept?

Do you believe that the people who don't see no harm in these things are more than likely to have things happen to them?
For example, people who dabble with divination.

I'm interested in the concept of:

- Showing adequate "respect" for Islam
- Not offending Muslims

Partly because there are people who want to kill me if I do, but only partly. Like most people I'm a reasonable chap who doesn't want to cause undue offence (I know there are lots who do want to - but most don't).

Now, given that I am not a Muslim, I will not avow all the aspects of the Islamic faith that a Muslim would. I do not, for example, believe that Muhammad was a prophet. Nor do I believe that the Quran is true. These two criticisms of Islam seem to me to be inherent in the concept of "non-Muslim" - if I believed in the truth of the Quran and the prophetic status of Muhammad I would be a Muslim.

Now presumably Muslims would agree that I may follow any religion I choose (and anyone other than Islam implies the two statements above). However there are certain other criticisms that would be offensive..

Can any Muslim explain to me where the line is?

This is a follow up on my other question. People state there is a choice for someone of no faith. So if a baby does not yet have faith, do they have a choice of going to heaven or hell.

We hear a lot about how society, morals, standards, behaviour has declined. If it was your job to come up with a snapshot of how this has happened, (if you believe it has, ) give three events, inventions or trends that have been the biggest contributory factors. E.g: Families not sitting down to meals together, the extremism of "political correctness," the Internet.

....shouldn't also be locked up for life but be cut off from having contact with their kids ever again- if they survive from the abuse that is and that they should not be allowed to conceive?

seeing as child abusers are just pure evil, filthy disgusting excuses for human beings, who have no remorse for their actions. did you experience any form of abuse? i'd like to read your side of the story. therefore, have you been a victim of abuse when you were a kid? if so what what was it like for you? was the abuser caught and arrested afterwards. i don't want names by the way, i just want details. seeing as i used to get beat as a child by my parents. thank you for reading this and feel free to contribute your views.

note: and because this is a serious stubject, i don't want stupid answers or anything that offends other people. especially those who were victims of abuse themselves. otherwise, i will consider reporting you to yahoo! if i believe you're infringing this violation.

i have always been under the impresson that a "sin" is something that a person does that is not in accordance with the 10 commandments. i know right from wrong etc...bvut i have often heard people say "thats's a sin" for something that they personally do not agree with, for example, IF i saw someone going hunting, and i don't agree with hunting, is that considered a "sin"? that is just an example so please, no knocks about "what i have against hunting", i dont have anything against hunting or hunters, but, my question is, "by what authority can or does anyone label something that they personally do not agree with, a sin?"
