Muslims / Islamic scholars only please!
I don't care if JOE BOB thinks all muslims are gay.
I don't want to hear Jesusphreak6969 tell me how everyone who doesn't worship the "son" of god will burn in eternal hellfire 'cause "mommy says so!"

Don't wear clothes made of more than one fabric (Leviticus 19:19)

Don't cut your hair nor shave. (Leviticus 19:27)

Any person who curseth his mother or father, must be killed. (Leviticus 20:9) Have you ever done that?

If a man cheats on his wife, or vise versa, both the man and the woman must die. (Leviticus 20:10). I wonder if Dr. Laura would like that one to be enforced?

If a man sleeps with his father's wife... both him and his father's wife is to be put to death. (Leviticus 20:11)

If a man sleeps with his wife and her mother they are all to be burnt to death. (Leviticus 20:14)

If a man or woman has sex with an animal, both human and animal must be killed. (Leviticus 20:15-16)

If a man has sex with a woman on her period, they are both to be "cut off from their people" (Leviticus 20:18)

If a priest's daughter is a whore, she is to be burnt at the stake. (Leviticus 21:9)

I believe in God and Evolution, for the following reasons: How do we know that 1 day to God, isn't a million/billion years to us? and that by the time God came to create Man, he merely modified a shape that was already handy to him? Also, evolution is evident on a day to day basis, plants, animals, even people. "adaptation" is merely a shortened form of evolution. Reincarnation. I believe that we are given lessons in life, before we set foot on this mortal plane, if we fail these lessons, then we are sent back, to repeat them, before we can attain that state of "perfection" that will grant us entrance to heaven. There's not much space here to put it all down, but that is pretty much the crux of my "beliefs"

A man was walking through a forest pondering life. He walked,
pondered, walked, and pondered. He felt very close to nature
and even close to God. He felt so close to God that he felt if
he spoke God would listen.
So he asked, "God, are you listening?"

And God replied, "Yes my son, I am here."

The man stopped and pondered some more.

He looked towards the sky and said, "God, what is a million years to you?"

God replied, "Well my son, a second to me is like a million years to you."

So the man continued to walk and to ponder... walk and ponder...
Then he looked to the sky again and said, "God, what is a million
dollars to you?"

And God replied, "My son, my son...a penny to me is like a million
dollars to you. It means almost nothing to me. It does not even have
a value it is so little."

The man looked down, pondered a bit and then looked up to the sky
and said, "God, can I have a million dollars?"

And God replied, "In a second."

I understand people who are enthusiastic and emphatic about their faith, but why do they sometimes feel it's their mission to preach the word of GOD to those who do not care to hear it? Why is it that these types cannot simply live their life according to what they believe to be right and good, while allowing others to to live theirs?

Is there a difference in "BELIEF" (not religion) when comparing Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Wiccans, Satanists, Pagans, et al.? Just the BELIEF! NOT WHO they believe in, nor what they believe.

Belief, in-and-of-itself, is it different?!

but they don't believe in what ancient societies believed in. Religion today is loosely based on all the ancient stuff, but if you ask a devout christian if he believes in Athena, or Apollo, or Zeus for that matter they will say no. It just confuses me that back then people were killed for not believing this stuff and now we laugh when we hear this, bu people today believe in something just a ludicrous as Roman or Greek gods.

An atheist was spending a quiet day fishing when suddenly
his boat was attacked by the Loch Ness monster. In one
easy flip, the beast tossed him and his boat high into the air
then opened its mouth to swallow both. As the man sailed
head over heels, he cried out, "Oh, my God! Help me!"

At once, the ferocious attack scene froze in place and, as
the atheist hung in mid-air, a booming voice came down
from the clouds.

"I thought you didn't believe in Me!"

"Come on God, give me a break!," the man pleaded. "Two
minutes ago I didn't believe in the Loch Ness monster either!"

Christians are coming together over ideology and not denomination.
In the U.S.A., Conservative Catholics, orthodox, and Protestants are coming together to fight the Liberal Christians with their twisted errors. We must stick to the Bible, natural law and fight the relativist liberal Christians who believe in Gay Marriage, abortion, Euthanasia, "tolerance" for sin, femnist ideas, and not judging other religions, ideas, behaviors, sin.

Through my reading in Quran, I found a verse that I could not clearly understand. It says that [37:22]: "Bring the infidels and their WIVES, and the things they worshipped, Besides Allah, and lead them to the Way to the Fierce Fire"

Does this mean that a wife of an infidel will be punished for a sin committed by her husband?
