I really need to know the weaknesses, because my book (this is for school) only tells me the good things. Which I guess makes sense, but my teacher wants us to tell her the weaknesses, too. So... help?

Ok it snowed yesterday were I live so I was driving slow so I wouldn't crash. Some asshole in a V8 truck started honking at me cause I wasn't going faster even though he could have passed me in the left lane. He finally did pass me and when he did he flipped me off. A mile up the road i saw him in a ditch. He was waving at me and as I drove by I gave him the finger and drove off and left him there. I think I was right. She says I shoulda helped. Who is right?????

The Quran plagerizes the jewish torah with an aya (verse in quran) that says "there is no compulsion in religion".

Of course although the Quran has many commandments, this is not a commandment, but a statement. In other words, it doesnt say "No Muslim shall ever coerce another to follow Islam".

So lets consider this statement, from the Torah and Quran...I mean...what could be dumber? Theres no complusion in religion???? You kidding me!!!! What has more complusion than religion and specifically Islam!!!!! The BBC journalists forced to convert to Islam are still to scared to speak about it!!!!

I've seen there are many here who use science as their reason to deny the existence of God. Even WITH science there are many holes left unfilled. I know many are quick to refer to evolution, but before any of that what was here on Earth? How did this place go from a lifeless planet with the ingredients of life to where we are today? Scientists have been able to genereate building blocks of life but have fallen far short in explaining how these blocks put themselves together. In short they can't. Even through the spectacle of science it still requires a form of faith to believe in the thoeries laid out before us.

In the past you were spiritually dead because of your disobedience and sins.
2:2
At that time you followed the world's evil way; you obeyed the ruler of the spiritual powers in space, the spirit who now controls the people who disobey God.
2:3
Actually all of us were like them and lived according to our natural desires, doing whatever suited the wishes of our own bodies and minds. In our natural condition we, like everyone else, were destined to suffer God's anger.

Are you concerned about us as people, or are just concerned about meeting a quota? No muslim has ever asked me what I think or how I feel. All I hear is a 'convert to Islam' commercial.

Being white trash was once a mark of shame. People who associate themselves in a positive manner with hillbilly standards like trailer parks, pickup trucks, mullets, Harleys, pit bulls, John Deere tractors, smokeless tobacco, etc. How is it that it's suddenly become trendy to be culturally retarded?

Do you think people REALLY are just joining fraternal organizations (you know the "secret handshake" dudes and dudettes) for what they can get out of the association financially?
I don't mean any particular organization, but there are several of this type.
Haven't you known people who worked like slaves, worked to achieve a good education and so on, yet didn't so much as have two dimes to rub together 'til they joined the (such and such) lodge!!!???

Having put to bed my semi autobographical novel which took a year to write, I feel like relaxing and fancy an experience with those boy/girl Thai persons who bring both sides to the party. It will mean digging into my publisher's advance and time out as a practicing RC. Why does my priest refuse to discuss it?

It drives me crazy when every single day, some nutcase feels the need to try and convert me to their religion.

I've got over zelous Christians when I get off the train, Hari Krishna at the airport etc...I think you get my point.

Why does everyone think they are right and everyone else is dammed and going to hell? Half these monkeys have probably never even taken a moment to look at any of the other religions and realized that most religions, although they have differences, believe in the existance of a single God.

If God is infinite, there are probably an infinite number of paths to reach him.

Not to pick on Christians, but one person came to me today and said "No man cometh to the Father but through Jesus". I agree with this, but you have to remember that Jesus was preaching at a specific time in history to specific people.

Look in other books, you'll see all the prophets have said this in one form or another to their flock.

found this in answer to another question, seems historically possible, but I never heard it b4. I know all Bible scripture used to justify the belief. Looking for a referance either justifying the above statement or a teaching of the idea of trinity previous to about the yrear 900. Not into arguing just research. Answers from war mongers will be ignored.
