How can these "men" call themselves Muslims when they go against what the Quran states? From this, what do you think of what the religion says compared to what the actions are?

"In Islam there is absolutely no difference between men and women as far as their relationship to God is concerned, as both are promised the same reward for good conduct and the same punishment for evil conduct.

The Qur'an, in addressing the believers, often uses the expression, 'believing men and women' to emphasize the equality of men and women in regard to their respective duties, rights, virtues and merits. It says:

For Muslim men and women, for believing men and women, for devout men and women, for true men and women, for men and women who are patient and constant, for men and women who humble themselves, for men and women who give in charity, for men and women who fast, for men and women who guard their chastity, and for men and women who engage much in God's praise,

Does a guy who knows Hebrew and Greek have any advantage when it comes to Bible reading.One who deosn"t know those languages can read it English or some other translations alone but Not the original?
Can we say that reading The Bible In Hebrew and Greek is like watching a movie In a plama tv with home theater and In other translations like watching the same movie in an ordinary CRT tv without any home theaters??

There are only three outcomes:

1. They do go to hell, making God a vicious monster.
2. They go to heaven, disproving "None shall come to the Father but through me."
3. They're in some third postmortem that the Bible fails to mention utterly.

Which is it?

All religions, especially 3 Divine Religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam are conteding against each other leaving the field wide open for rejectionists of faith.

The differences between them is marginal. There are more commonalities than differences . Every religion focusses on
morality, good neighbourly behaviour, rights of parents etc.
Every religion prescribes some sort of punishment to those who indulge in adultery or fraud.

Last night I watched a mobile ad. showing young boys and girls dancing intimately. This is illegal in all the three religions. Why good men among all the three religions do not discuss the problems 21st century has posed to the religions?. Lack of shame, carelessnes re children and parents etc are major problems for all believers.A concerted attack is being led by non believers that has torn the social fabric apart.


Can't we agree on a minimum code of conduct , so that we could stop satan from taking its toll from us ?

He is not homosexual. I told him, we are probably not the only couple out there who have some of these thoughts. I am the one who suggested we find him a partner to experiment with.

Do we find a bi-couple? Are there places to meet others in our situation?

Revenge of the Blonde
A blonde, wanting to earn some extra money, decided to
hire herself out as a "Handywoman" and started canvassing
a nearby well-to-do neighbourhood.
She went to the front door of the first house, and asked
the owner if he had any odd jobs for her to do.
"Well, I guess I could use somebody to paint my porch,"
he said, "How much will you charge me?"
The blonde quickly responded, "How about £50?"
The man agreed and told her that the paint and everything
she would need was in the garage.
The man's wife, hearing the conversation, said to her
husband, "Does she realise that our porch goes all the
way around the house?"
He responded, "That's a bit cynical, isn't it?"
The wife replied, "You're right. I guess I'm starting to
believe all those 'dumb blonde' jokes we've been getting
by e-mail lately."
A short time later, the blonde came to the door to
collect her money.
"You're finished already?" the husband asked.
"Yes," the blonde replied, "and I had paint leftover, so
I gave it two coats."
Impressed, the man reached into his pocket for the £50
and handed it to her.
"And by the way," the blonde added, "it's not a Porch,
it's a Ferrari".

I'm not saying I believe in God, nor am I saying I don't believe in these theories. However I think you should believe in these theories because they don't disprove God. There is no evidence against evolution yet you don't believe it because you think it disproves God when it doesn't. How do you know God didn't make evolution happen? Or start the universe with a big bang? How do you know he didn't make living things from Abiogenesis?

I just want to know how these theories disprove God?

I think its a disgrace. This is a christian country and thus other religions should follow customs here or at least respect the christmas period for what it is and has been for centuries.

I hardly think many other countries would "adopt" other religions or embrace and alter their own would they?

Just another typical example of the christians taking a bashing

I don't really care, I don't believe in 'god' anyway, so I don't believe in Original Sin, unless you mean the INXS song, that's good.
