I see funny answers on here and everyone calls them names and gives the thumbs down. I understand why hateful comments are treated that way, but why do comments with a bit of levity get treated that way? Is this just a sad sour group of people or doesn’t anyone have a sense of humor anymore? Ha - ha, now I bet I’ll get nothing but hate messages… which will prove my point.

People say, "Oh its a sin, they're all going to hell and burn!" But if it is a sin. Can't they just repent and pray for forgiveness. Thats what everyone else does when they sin, can't they do it to? And then they'll still go to heaven? I'm not gay, and aren't friends with any gay people. But I don't hate or discriminate.

I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT WHICH IS RIGHT OR ANYTHING OPINIONAL PLEASE!!!

This is not a question seeking out religious help. I know that I am a Christian. For personal research, I truly want to know some differences between Christian and Muslim principles.
KEEP READING PLEASE!
I don't want to hear that one will get you to Heaven and one won't or one is noble and pure and one is full of lies.
Please just tell me the difference between their rules, their laws and their practices. FOR EXAMPLE, Christians are allowed to drink, but Muslims aren't. If you could be so kind as to direct me to an accurate website-no books please, I need this information today-or tell me from personal experience.
Already being a Christian I know plenty of Christian principles, so I wouldn't mind if you only know about Muslims and can't compare them.
PLEASE KEEP READING!
I just need to know about Muslims so I can compare it with Christianity. Thanks so much if you read this! And thanks for answering!

The sixth commandment, "You shall not commit adultery” teaches us that we should realize the unity of the family unit; respect the gift of sexuality God has given you; stay committed to one woman; respect other people dignity; and respect the 2 purposed of sex which are procreation and to show love. Why is this an important message for today's world? and Why is this message a challenge to today's culture and values?

This is a question for jewish people mainly. According to the tora and the old testiment, The jews are Gods chosen people and everyone else is a gentile. Is it just me or does that infer that gentiles are less of a worthy being. If so what is the Jewish thinking, attitude to non jews. I always wondered?

i am asking this question because it seems that when ever someone sees a terror attack they presume islamic terror the fact is that there are many types of people in the world and to give a race a characteristic is wrong. it is exactly what happened to the jew during the holocaust the were presumed as bad people and were exterminated. i have a feeling that if we don't open our eyes another holocaust will begin towards muslims.p.s if you do belive that all muslims are terroists you are not only a vile and discusting person and no one will ever love you.
