Quran 2:256

"Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects Evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things".

The BIBLE:

(2 Thessalonians 2:3 NASB/WEY).

"Let no one in any way deceive you, for that day cannot come without the coming of the apostasy first, and the appearing of the man of sin, the son of perdition."

Deuteronomy 13:6-10:

If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which [is] as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; [Namely], of the gods of the people which [are] round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the [one] end of the earth even unto the [other] end of the earth; Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him,

I am a 31 year old woman. I was brought up in a christian household as were my children. Last night found me the lowest I have ever been. I sat under the stars and prayed feverishly and sincerely. I asked for a sign that things were going to get better for me...a sign that God was there listening and caring. I made it quite clear that it needed to be something I would know was from Him because I wasn't going to convince myself that something as ordinary as a lightning bug was my sign. I think that's why so many people claim to believe. I also made it clear that I wasn't going to convinve myself that sometimes He answers yes, no or not right now. That's just a believers way of explainging unanswered prayers. My prayer was not for selfish reasons. If there really were a God He would have realized how important this was to me. He would have known that I needed this. I gave Him ample time. I pointed out that if He were real He would and could do this for me. More below....

I guess I'm thinking of "Christian's" like Pat Robertson calling for assassinations and murder in the same sentences in which they invoke the Bible.

Ok, so I had a dream that my spirit guide came to me. I have a feeling that my guide is a woman....Anyway, I couldn't really see her...she was like a dark blob that I could only see out of the corner of my right eye, but I could see she was smiling. To make matters even stranger, she was tickling me. I'm sure if that has any meaning, but I found it a little odd. I woke up wondering if it was really my spirit guide who had come to me, and not something else. However, in my dream I remembered just knowing she was my guide. Anyone who has experience or knowledge of these sorts of things, I would greatly appreciate your input. People who want to leave a smart *** response, please don't even bother.

You guys beleive Jesus was a prophet and that he prophesied about Muhummads comming right? If you beleive this why dont you beleive his other teachings that he is the Son of God? How can you beleive he is a prophet and reject half of his message?
I mean no disrespect.
Thanks.

Why does he allow millions of innocents, including Christians, to die every moment by gun or storm? Why did he allow Satan to wander the earth? Why did he place the tree of knowledge in Eden if it was bad? Why did he only allow people who knew of god before "Christ" came, enter heaven but he didn't provide oppertunity to people around the world like say, the Japanese?

PS I'm asking all this to challenge Christians and Jews.
PSS I'm Nihilist so don't believe in anything.
PSSS Don't say I'll go to Hell for not believing in Jehovah.

I want to hear your opinion not what a book says or going by anything spoon fed to you.

I myself am a Solitary Eclectic which means I practice my own beliefs alone. I am this way because not one religion seemed right to me and I found many beliefs which I considered to be too contradictory or just flat out bias. My beilf is based with an emphasis on humilty and alot of other moral values and also things taken from the different religions of the world. To me this is the right way. I'm not going more into it because I'm not trying to convert anyone because that is against my beliefs. It is for people to find their own right way to live and what to believe in.


So how about you? What do you follow and why? You can learn alot from the opinions of others.

FOR IAM A MUSLIM AND WE MUSLIMS LOVE HIM.

"The rabbis teach their fellow Jews that their Gentile neighbors are spiritually and morally unclean; that they are subhuman, on a level with the beasts of the field; and that they hate Jews and must be hated in return. Jews are taught that the Christian religion is a religion fit only for animals, and that its founder, Jesus, was the son of a prostitute and is presently immersed in a pit of boiling excrement in hell".

Jewish Religious Hatred of Gentiles: Published by ISRAEL Shahak. Pluto Press (London, 1994).

To be honest with you, the only time I find peace in any tangable sence is when I am deep in the forest near my home and I see nature in harmony ... where is Christ's peace to man in our materialistic society?

It is a religion which preaches to kill not love. Atleast Jesus said to love your enemys while mohammad said to kill those who disbelieve and show no mercy.
www.blessedcause.com/quran.htm

and do not come to me saying "DUDE, CHRISTIANS KILLED THOUUUSDANS IN THE CRUSADES"
I realize they did bad things in the past but they are not going around killing 16 year old girls or blowing up towers like islamics are doing now.

Its a historical fact that Islam is the greatest slave trading institution of all human history. The middle east sits at the top of Africa. Muslims have exploited African labor for over 1400 years and are the worlds sole remaining "slave-culture" (where slavery is culturally accepted and practiced).

So...how could even one black person be muslims? Its like a jew worshiping Hitler...its insane. I certainly understand blacks who hate Islam and want to make Muslims pay dearly for 1400 years of slavery but to be a part of Islam? Wow.

Let me ask readers this question -- If the prophet of a religion owned and enslaved members of your race, preferentially, would this be enough for you to reject that religion? "Ofcourse" you say. Well, amazingly, most of Muhammads slaves were black, in fact, the only slaves he describes by race are blacks.
