Religion & Spirituality - 14 August 2006

I started using the 72 names and done the meditations and it has been a hyper real experience to me, every card is totally related to what happens to me that day, even on a pun level, which makes me think GOD has a weird sense of humor

Islam: An intolerant, inconsistent fallacy

This is not from a christian or jewish perspective; I thought I would get that out of the way to begin with.

Is Islam a religion where you have to check "free-thinking" at the door and embrace a tyranical, murderous, intolerant worldview?

IMO: YES!

1. How can the Koran be the infallable word of God when it contains nonsense like the earth is flat and the sun moves around the earth.

2. How can it be said that Mohammed was a loving and compassionate man yet he killed, robbed and sadisticly tortured people. ie: a man was murdered for making fun of Mohammed in poetry.
Also, Mohammed tortured and punished some by chopping of their arms and legs, burning out their eyeballs and killing them slowly in the harsh elements of the desert.

3. Why do Muslim claim that Mohammed was a liberator of women when it is taught that women are:
a) inferior to men
b) must obey their husbands - or be dealt with harshly
c) Mohammed said that hell was filled with women due to disobeying their husbands
d) Husbands can beat them because Allah promotes this in the koran.
e) Have no essential rights like child-custody and the right to divorce.
f) Court testomony is worth only half of the testomony of a man.
g) She has no autonomy, first her father controls her then her husband.
h) Allah wants them to stay at home and not to came out.
i) They are forbidden to join ceremonies such as funerals.
j) The Koran speaks only towards man as if woman arent full human beings.

4. How can Muslims say that Mohammed was a perfect human-being or even a good man and his example should be followed when it is known that he did a 9-year old girl when he was 53?
Don't many muslims follow this example because the best muslims should follow the Sunna?


5.How can it be said that Islam is a religion of peace and love when the koran teaches that non-believers are forbidden to be friends of muslims and in fact the koran promotes killing them and otherwise abusing them?

Lelt me first state a fact to all the readers. Religion is your way of worshiping god. God never said that i know of that 1 religion is better than anyother. I clam to be a christian but i am not any denomination. Many horable things have been done in the name of a certan religion. i understand that some of us are weaker in mind than others. But are you realy so weak that you must be told how to worship your god? religion is only afew people who think their teachings and way of worship are correct, after the foundation is up its there job to convince the sheep that they are the proper flock to be in. Be a individual have your own relation ship with god he will tell you what he wants you to do, you just have to lissen to him. Read the bible all religions are created from it. O and one more thing to my knowlidge its better to have a relationship god everyday than it is just on sunday which is his day of rest not his predefined day of worship thank you for your time.

It seems like every time these barbarians are caught with their hand in the cookie jar, they try to slither out of it by pointing at the Jews and claiming some vast anti-Islamic conspiracy is at work. Will they be able to convince people Muslims weren't responsible this time, like they do with 9-11? Before you call me a racist, look up the definition of racist.

It sure does seem like it. People have been forging documents like the gospel of Barnabas and claiming the Kooran has all kinds of modern science in it all for the sake of spreading their religion. When people use lies and sneaky tactics and warfare to spread their beliefs, doesnt that qualify them like a false prophet?

Any time I ask a question that criticizes a specific fraction of their numbers, they go hard to work trying to dissect and analyze my statement looking for any key words they can focus on, then the mud slinginng begins. Focusing on a couple of key words, they begin attempting to discredit my question as if they were trying to neutralize my testimony in a court of law.

I have never made a statement in here that lacked the implied degree of truth. I have never made a blanket statement, implying that every single atheist OR Christian does anything. I have never made a statement that was totally false for every single member of the group discussed, but to hear them say it, every statement I've ever made has been guilty of all of this.

Such fanaticism is a strong indicator of more dubious motives. So called Atheists that behave in such a fashion are far more likely to be Jerk (aka Troll) that merely wish to be a pain. So, I guess that makes their replies irrelevant.

I reject Islam. I don't think Moohammid was or is a prophet because I look at the things he did and said. Does this make me a racist? If so, what is the definition of racist?

i believe some things are unforgivable.. such as murder rape and abuse.... but alot of christians say that as long as you "repent for your sins" you will go to heaven. but killing people unless under the right circumstance is unforgivable. why do people think that they can commit all the crimes they want and still go to heaven anyways? i mean, if i do go to heaven, i dont want to be with a ton of murderers or rapists. the whole concept just confuses me. anyone wanna shed some light on the subject?

I'm doing research on the Quinceanera (the Hispanic 15th birthday celebration for girls), and I'm reading that Scripture passages are selected to read during the girl's Mass. The selections seem to be an individual thing. What Bible verses are good for a Quinceanera?

I don't know about you, but I actually do believe in what Criss Angel does. You might think it's tricks, or Illusions, but maybe.... theres something else....... Criss Angel tells us what you want to know as you watch his show, the name of the show speaks for itself. Criss is not a fake he is just in touch with his inner self.

Maybe he's God?
Maybe's he's the the Devil
Does he have Demons in side of him? (says my sisters bf)
Is he a demon?

Whatever the answer, he's hot as hell!

Both television and today’s sophisticated computer games are powerful psychotropic drugs that alter one’s perception of reality. Indeed, they have become a substitute for reality—a surrogate for actual experience. Rather than living life, most Americans now experience it vicariously through the medium of television. Hence the proliferation of so many so called Reality Shows. Contrary to public opinion, the purpose of commercial television is not to inform the people with information that is relevant to their lives. It is to substitute fantasy for reality, lies for truth; entertainment for knowledge. The programming that most of us watch is not the primary purpose of television. Commercials—capitalism—are the primary reason for the existence of television. Even public television is not immune from heavy-handed manipulation from the Whitehouse and corporations.

Jesus talked about forgiving people for their sins and giving $$ and food to people in need. He was also against death and war. Ever hear the saying "republicans will tell you what jesus said, but democrats will do what jesus said" ? Well, it is true. So if any hardcore christian supports our president, the war, and votes republican, I believe according to your religion you are going to burn in hell.
