I actually do understand how they could be offended (I don't agree, but understand). I don't understand how a peaceful religion would think lashes are an appropriate way to address the matter. Would not a helthy conversation with the offender, and a public apology be more appropriate?

As far as I can tell, the Sudanese feel that Ms Gibbons was saying Muhmmad is like an animal.

Presumably they thought Ms Gibbons was saying "An animal is dirty and st upid, Muhammad is dirty and stupid, therefore I will name this animal 'Muhammad'".

If I name a disabled child "Muhammad" then am I necessarily saying the prophet Muhammad was disabled?? Will you try to kill me?

It seems to me if even one argument proved true there would be not need for others. Please don't play dumb either--I am talking about the intelligent design argument, the prime mover argument, Pascal's wager and so on

Jesus is not only equal to God (Phil 2:6), he IS God(John 10:30,38; 12:45, 14:1-11. , as the image of the invisible God, he is the exact representation of God. He not only reflects God, but he reveals God to us ( John 1:18, 14:9) He came from heaven, not from the dust of the earth (1Cor 15:47) and he is Lord of all(Romans 9:5, 10:11-13, Revelation 1:5, 17:14) He is completely holy(Heb 7:26-28, 1 Pet 1:19, 2:22, 1 John 3:5) and he has authority to judge the world(Romans 2:16, 2 Cor 5:10, 2 Tim 4:1) Therefore, Christ is supreme over all creation. We must believe in the deity of Jesus Christ( that Jesus is God) or our Christian faith is hollow, misdirected, and meaningless. This is a central truth in Christianity.

Jeremiah 36:30
Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah, he shall have none to sit on the throne of David.


Unfortunately his prophecy is proven false by another passage in the Bible: II Kings 24:6
So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.


Prophecies that can fail are further evidence that the Bible is by no means an error free book

is this an example of a 'cultural faux pas'

In the western world you can get attacked by an angry mob for having sex with a nine year old

In the sudan you can get mobbed for naming teddie bears mohammed

no wonder we don't all get along.

I really do understand why Islam would be offended by the Teddy Bear name thing, but I don't understand why lashes and stoning and beheading and such are the typical response whenthese things occur.

are they also rejecting the real, living God of the universe whom Jesus taught us about?

Would they go to hell for rejecting a sock-puppet god instead of the true God?

This book is blowing my mind. If it's true then everything I've been brought up to believe is false. This whole world is an illusion? I can't get my brain around it. Yet, there's so much within it's pages that is truly beautiful. It brings me to tears.

The Salem witch trials happened at the end of the 1600's. How many people were actually killed, and how? Was this truly a result of Christian hysteria, Or where there underlying motives involved?

I'm stuck and looking for ideas. We've been together almost a year and are very close. This is our first Christmas together and I really want to do something memorable. Money is not really a factor, but I think something memorable that really expresses how much she means to me is more important than going with the WOW factor of giving something really expensive. I think she would be more impressed with that too. So I leave it up to you people of yahoo....what would you do?
