Why do you HAVE to say "There is but (one) God, and Muhammad is THE Messenger of God"?

That would elevate muhammed to a status above all prophets and in a upper class.

Why not say: "There is but (one) God, and I believe in all of the prophets" or something like that?

According to religious beliefs that support the heaven or hell theory do animals such as lets say cats or dogs have an after life and be judged on whether they were good or not and later be rewarded or punished? obviously they can't be religious since they lack the capacity of even understanding what religion is. so do they? or are they just soul-less creatures to live and die?

I was just wondering why is it that when humans are in the embroynic stage we develop and lose gill slits? Did God create land based mammals (Humans) to have gills like fish? Or are these biological characteristics (Vestigial organs) from a
pre-evolutionary lifeform? Which hypothesis seems more plausible?

I am now seriously wondering.

when people hate you for that, you always reason that you have expected to be hated because Jesus said so. haven't you ever pondered that you might be being hated because of your arrogance?

don't take offense because this question is not meant to be offensive. even if you take offense, it doesn't change the fact that I don't mean for this question to offend you.

I understand that evolutionists say that we are not from modern apes and that we share a common ancestor. Now, lets see if I follow: "X" gave birth to X which gave birht to X which gave birth to X which gave birth to X which gave birth to Y and Z. It just seems odd that the same ancestor gave rise to two different lineages and eventually disapeared. Now if tall people mate their children have a probability that they will be tall. And these tall people and thesee tall people and these tall people..... and so on Tall children. If little people and little people and little people and little people and so on.....little children after several generations. Even if this was stretched out over thousands of years you would still have Humans weather tall or short they would still be humans not something else.

Why is or would be any kind of sex wrong within your marriage. I hear many people say that oral sex, or anal sex, or even just foreplay is sinful. But why would any of that be wrong if you are doing these things within marriage?

The muslims have 1 version of quran and this is a big resoan for truth of ISLAM.
Christians have many version of Gospel that write by jesus follower and after jesus die.
also jew's Gospel Toratt wrote after mushe die.
These are resons that Gospel manipulated by human.

But the holy Quran has One Version without human manipulation.
We can find many thruths about other God prophet in Quran.
many this thruths changed and manipulated by human like ( jesus christ is son of God - 3 view of God - simulate the god as material )
These will go the human to atheist.

Excuse my grammar.

The reason I said “…as bad as Christians” was because of Atheists, they say that Christians are bad, mean, hypocrites etc, but they didn’t know that they’re as bad as Christians.

No offence, but I think some of you people (Atheists) are kinda bad too. You do say some Christians are disrespectful and all, but I also find SOME of you disrespectful too. You say words like: “I wiped my *** with a bible’s page”, “I burnt my bible”, “Christians are bad”, “losers” etc and etc.

Oh yes, true, there are some mean hypocritical Christians (that I also find irritating), but why should I be as bad as them by insulting them repeatedly (this means were equally bad, so one of us should stop this argument). I would ignore them instead of insulting them, ‘cause like you said “they’re brainwashed”. You Atheists say “I feel sorry for them, because they’re so brainwashed”. Christians claim that they’re “loving” etc and you Atheists claim to be “open-mind”, “educated” etc which I believe you guys are, then why you waste your time insulting close-minded people? They won’t care about your words, they will not change.

Apparently in yahoo answers, Atheists have posted MORE questions that are against Christianity, than Christians did post questions that are against Atheism. I bet there Atheists writing and posting questions against Christianity right now as I’m writing this.

Though, there are some good Atheists, but most of the ones that hang around in here are very mean. AND I’M NOT A CHRISTIAN.

Don't say "it sais so in the bible".

Also if you are an atheist, I can understand why you don't believe such things.

Let's asume there is a god and that we know it for sure. Then, why wouldn't reincarnation make sense? Or does it?

personally I think you would have half to have a sick mind to want something like that to happen. all that suffering that the bible predicts and for christians to want that to happen that's no worse than some one to want to kill a million people how sick .
very sick dont you think and they say that God wants them to welcome this destruction how sick

Please check out the best answer for the Q.

Is this not just the most classic case of 'Give 'em enough rope and they'll hang themselves"?

Havn't you gotta just love someone this arrogant - and yet - sadly - quite vulnerable.

If you read this Sherryn - and please take this with the sincerity with which it is sent - just re-read what respondents said and your reply to them.

Do you think that a tad of humility might just be the greater defence of your high ideals. Or are you REALLY REALLY sure that you have it right - and the rest of us are all going to learn from you? Are you sure that your teacher had it so right? Are you sure that your artistry is so much greater than the life experiences of all the people here. Not just mine - obviously - in your opinion I have crawled out from under a rock. Any time you want to compare rocks sweet child - call me! But come with better material than you have so far - or get ready for some humility - big style!
