Shouldn't we love Judas and the Romans and the Jews for getting Jesus killed and getting us off the hook so we can sin and get forgiven?

I spent 2 years studying and reading the koran and islam, because i thought that its a good religion and wanted to convert to it. but the prophet's life style is disgusting. how can any sane human being convert to a religion such as islam thats led by a man who,
had sex with a 9 year old girl
who had so many wives
who had so many men and women murdered?

now muslims and some western apologists may come out with excuses such as pointing to the times that mohomed lived. but as a thinking person i will not accept such pathetic and weak excuses. crimes are crimes no matter who committed them or when it was committed. am i right?

Some have said that they are 6000 years old, why is there evidence for human civilization that lived 7000, even 8000 years ago?

How come the Bible is full of God's anger?

Ex. 4:14
...then the Lord's anger burned against Moses...

Ex. 22:24
...My anger will be aroused and I will kill you with the sword...

I'm not trying to mock the religion here, I'm just wondering, why do christians praise (if that is the word) the instrument by which their prophet was killed?

The bible tells us that Jesus had skin of bronze and hair like whool, yet on film and in portraits he is always portrayed as a fair skinned white man with long silky hair.

i know before Muhammad become a prophet, Muhammad was following a faith that worship God alone, while most arabs worship idols. but what was the faith that both Muhammad parents used to follow?

i read somewhere that Muhamamd asked for a premission from God to ask for forgiviness for his Mom. and God declined his request which made Muhammad tear down. is that true?

respected answers only please. thanks

If the life given is called eternal life does that not by definition mean it is forever, eternally? How can you have something that is eternal and it be lost? (Question for the Christian especially)

Through my reading in Quran, I found two verses [2:65; 5:60] that tell a story about some Jews who tried to hunt whales on a sabbath Saturday and god punished them by turning them into monkies (or apes).

I am a little surprised because this story is just a Jewish folk that never took place and all reputable history books tells it was a myth used to be told by old Jewish people in old ages. Please see:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ape
http://www.religion-encyclopedia.com/B/babel_tower_of.htm
http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=1631&letter=A


My question: if all sources say it is just a myth (including Jewish sources), why did the Quran mention it as a true story?

Personally, I am not very religious at all, but I choose not to label myself with a title such as "atheist". However, I have noticed that people who do consider themselves atheist are looked down upon by society.
For instance, if a Christian were to stand on a stage and say how much he loves God, the people would think he is a wonderful man.
However, if an atheist man were to go on that same stage and say "I don't believe in god," he would be completely shunned by the crowd and thought of as a terrible person.

How can this behavior be tolerated in a society where people are free to believe or worship whatever they like? People really need to become more acceptant of other people's beliefs.

If I were to ask any young person (below college level, let's assume) whether or not they believed in god, more often than not I would be answered with a quick "YES!" even if it is not true.
I'm running out of letters to type with so I'll end it here.

Thoughts?

I want to know what you think came first and why you think it came first. I am MORE INTERESTED in the why then the what. Answers without the why will not be considered for best answer.

Perhaps the Universe ALWAYS existed?!? Some say that GOD created the Universe and God was always here, well, if God always existed perhaps the Universe has too.

I may have posted this question in the wrong area...SO why can straight people ask for 3 somes, degrade their spouses, commit infidelity, and not live up to God's idea of a husband/wife and be forgiven? A gay commited relationship is supposedly an abomination? WHY????

I ahev asked a similar question an hour ago but I mistyped the quote. It is from Surah Al Baqarah [2:65], that tells a story about god who prohibted people (Jews) from working on Saturday and when some of them tried to hunt whales on Saturday, god punished them by switching their bodies into monkies!

From this verse it is clearly understood that God set Saturday as a holy day (this is in Quran), so why Muslims don't celebrate it?

Check out this site to learn the real truth about Scientology - it's nothing more than a tax exempt cult and should be stopped.
