You know what I find so troubling about the Bible, especially the New Testament? It's the disciples' poor reporting of events. Of course I say this from reporter's point of view. Luke wrote the pharisees were taking the best seat among the synagogue. Where is the best seat? Front row or at a convenient corner?Why can't he describe it? Luke wrote a large crowd followed Christ to a house. How large was the crowd? How many people? 100 or 1000? Can't he give a figure? Luke wrote the Holy Spirit came upon the people. What's that? A beam shining down from heaven? A white dove flying by? **** it Luke! Tell us what that Holy Spirit is and I'll give you a Pullitzer Prize.

You see, Christians, I would forgive the disciples if they were inadequate in their writing, for they were no trained writers in the first place. But their inconsistence in their reporting that really get to my nerves. When they record what was said by Christ or the others, they can write down in full detail, word for word. But when it comes to events or places, they leave the picture blank in most cases. As if they were assuming that their readers would know it like a general knowledge, like how we need not explaining what is electric switch to classmates. As if the disciples were assuming that their writing was only meant for their generation. Did they even know that Christianity is going to be a great religion 20 centuries later?

I say John, the last living disciple of Christ who wrote the book of Revelation, was nearly a good reporter. But he should ask the leading angel if the beast rising from the sea was made of metal or living flesh. Answer from such question could mean a great deal to 21st century people.

Christians, your faith is based on what happened sometime in the past. It is therefore relavant if while trying to understand your religion you should also understand history. While trying to grasp the good teaching please do yourself a big favour -- understand the logics behind it, if there's any.

I don't remember the exact religion he was, but I think it was one of the two.

Someone I used to work with carried a note in their wallet about their wishes on blood transfusion; That they wish not to have one when and if needed. So, say they don't have their wallet on them or the doctors/paramedics fail to see the note, and he gets a blood transfusion or blood donated to him to save his life. What happens when he comes to and realizes what has happened? I'm sure there will be a lot of grief, but are they disowned or severly looked down upon by their church/family/friends?

Thanks!

Qur'an:9:5 "Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war."


Ishaq:324 "He said, ‘Fight them so that there is no more rebellion, and religion, all of it, is for Allah only. Allah must have no rivals.'"


Qur'an:9:29 "Fight those who do not believe until they all surrender, paying the protective tax in submission."


Qur'an:8:65 "O Prophet, urge the faithful to fight. If there are twenty among you with determination they will vanquish two hundred; if there are a hundred then they will slaughter a thousand unbelievers, for the infidels are a people devoid of understanding."

Can I be gay and not love my buddy? I mean is just sex ok? Most say not, but don't you think there are people like me who like dudes for sex only but can't "feel the love". I'm not saying at all that guys can't love each other, I'm only speaking about me. Is it ok that I just do the gay sex stuff without worrying about LTR and all that? Isn't it just like a single straight dude who prefers a "single" lifestyle? I ask because many gay dudes have said I'm a loser for this type of attitude.

And never did We destroy a town but it had a term made known.
(Surah Ibrahim 15:4)

There was no Prophet from any community who did not stand up and did not talk in their own language. And the heavenly book also used to be in the language of those people. Therefore if the apostleship of a Prophet is specially for that community, then that system would have been very much likeable, but if his apostleship is universal and for the people of the whole world, then why it is necessary that his book should be in the language of those people say for example, the book brought by the Prophet of Islam (‘s) is in the Arabic language?

Christians, why are you against Euthanasia like hell while the bible itself encourages it ? of course it is not found in the bible verses, but it is found in the proccess of how the "lamb of god" die for the sins of mankind.

Now
In the case of Jesus Christ
The Pharisees wanted him crucified on the cross
Thus he was crucified, despite of the Governor's effort to spare him the punishment
Let me ask all here
how long before Christ died on the cross?
It wasn't very long, right? It doesn't even last a day
Why?
because there's a Roman soldier guarding the cross took pity on Christ
he thrusted Christ's rib with the shape edge of his spear
It was not an act of brutality; it was meant to cause him quicker death
so he can die from lost of blood
the soldier spare Christ from the pain of dying slowly on the cross

That, ladies and gentlemen, is MERCY KILLING !
