As we all know, the greatest threat to western civilization and culture is radical fundamentalist Islam. Every news report says that the actual number of fundamenatlists is rather small compared to the number of every day Muslims. So my question is, what will it take for the every day Muslims who all they want is to live thier life without fear of their markets getting shelled, their busses/subways being blown up etc. to rise up against these people who have turned their religion into one of the most hated in the world?

Especially if he is jealous? Psycologicly, Jealousy is a sign of insecurity and doubt in yourself. How can somthing that is perfect have this type of flaw?

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

I have been a bit hesitant about this... I am thinking about weather or not to answer the same boring questions. I personally know some questions are meant to provoke me as a believer...but I am devating weather or not the people who ask these questions are even willing to listen to what you have to say and if this is just a waste of time and effort on my part? I am sure the same happens to everyone here who gets their religion trashed by people who do not even practice what they preach (Peace and Tolerance). Any who.... What do you think?????

Do you think that questions that are meant to provoke you or bring down your religion should even be answered?

Eg. Most hindus are able to digest that Jesus was divine. This is but a natural manifestation of divinity to erring humanity and is an event that happens many times in the course of history.

For that matter Allah or the concept of a formless good exist as the consciousness as attained during Nirvana or the Nirguna Brahman as explained in vedanta.

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5 NLT)



Christians who are slaves should give their masters full respect so that the name of God and his teaching will not be shamed. If your master is a Christian, that is no excuse for being disrespectful. You should work all the harder because you are helping another believer by your efforts. Teach these truths, Timothy, and encourage everyone to obey them. (1 Timothy 6:1-2 NLT)



In the following parable, Jesus clearly approves of beating slaves even if they didn't know they were doing anything wrong.



The servant will be severely punished, for though he knew his duty, he refused to do it. "But people who are not aware that they are doing wrong will be punished only lightly. Much is required from those to whom much is given, and much more is required from those to whom much more is given." (Luke 12:47-48 NLT)

Every time I meet a woman who says she is, when she falls out with me she calls me a typical male. Why do people have to divide us into these categories, and why cant I find a mate who is into equality. What they say and what they do, and behave seem to be two different things! I just want a best mate, for a mate, not a set of gender rules i cant live up to! Just my luck not to have been born gay, at least we;d have been equal!

Thanks.

If your faith says to "do unto others as you would have them do unto you," and your country tortures prisoners on your behalf, how do you respond?

Interesting from the 1 Kings 18:40 (or maybe 2 Kings) the prophet Elijah after winning a challenge against the prophets of Ba'al has them executed.

Imagine being martyred for Ba'al.

Yeah, I know. I'm getting desperate here.

But I'm so disgusted. I'll graduate next semester, God willing, with my Bachelor's degree in Religious Studies. When I began this program, my plan was to also go to grad school and get up to a doctorate in RS and be a college professor.

But now I don't know. I just feel aimless and hopeless. I don't really have the money for grad school, and I'm just going in debt for what I don't know.

Sometimes I think I'd just like to be a nun of some type, but maybe that's just lazy. I don't know what I want.
I don't know what God wants.

How can I figure it out?

I've heard many people say that in Islam women are viewed as sex objects and their role is to fullfil mans desire, this is why they (apparently) cover themselves. Wouldnt be more correct to say that in western society, women are viewed as sex objects?

Billboards, adevertisements, entertainment, fashion etc are all it takes to realise this.

Please reply is a mature and sensible manner. I dont mean to offend anyone, just stating my opinion. Thanks.
