As far as I know, when Muslims invite an enemy to become moslem, the moslem then has the right under islamic law to kill him if he refuses. Is this correct? any Muslims know the proper answer?

at what point did Jesus begin growing inside the womb? did He become Jesus after HE was born? or was He in the womb at the moment that the Holy Spirit planted the seed? would it have been murder then to abort Jesus before He was born? IN THIS EXAMPLE YOU CANNOT SAY JESUS DOES NOT EXIST. ANSWER THE QUESTION BY HOW THE BIBLE TELLS IT. ty :)

Why can't someone reach out to a particular group of people
without being called an a++hole? Is that our failing, or theirs?

Regarding this question about Adam and Eve, do you feel the answers suggest the greatest division of the last 100 years of Americans, the fundamentalist Christians and the liberal Christians and people of all other faiths.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20060822170620AAGBF59&pa=FYd1D2bwHTHwIbxkHes.Sex80hscwAIyZIty9crjS0DDUg--&msgr_status=

The question asked if it was acceptable for Adam and Eve to sin. To break God's law. Most of the answers said that yes, that led to a real authentic life. It was both good and bad, and that the metaphor applies to them and me and you, about when we lost our innocence. Would Adam and Eve remain children forever, or indeed, grow up and get dressed and get a job. Most of us relate to Adam and Eve after.

The other group said this was awful that they were seperated from God. How foolish. God forgave. Genesis 3:21. This was the day they grew up, made a mistake, but were forgiven.
This should be everones greatest day. How do you feel

The saying goes that we don't learn from other people's mistakes, only our own - (well at least hopefully we do learn from our own mistakes)! Maybe you will share your story of how you have learned from someone else's mistake.

i was just curious, being Christian myself.
If there are those who aren't Jesus who say they are,
then how would we know?

How would he be known around the world?
By the media?
If he was to be publicized,
how many people would actually believe it?
I'm so confused!

I'm one that is easily influenced by what the media says,
propaganda, media lies, i always fall for them.
But if this were to happen,
i don't know if i could believe it.

So what I'm asking is how would he become known and why would people believe him? Would people think that he's lying even if they are in a Christian branch of religion?

Thanks, i just wanted to know your opinion and perhaps be less confused.

I have noticed how often Christians disagree with one another about the true path to heaven. Some insist the whole Bible is literally true, while others insist it must be interpreted. Some insist we should study the Bible alone, without guidance, while others insist on the need for guidance from church elders.

Is there some kind of conspiracy to drive non-christians mad? To insist on a narrow road to heaven on the one hand, while presenting the appearance that Christianity is all things to all people on the other?

Bottom Line: why do moderates ignore the existence of fundamentalists, while fundies ignore the existence of moderates? Those of us who are not Christians see both, and can only scratch our heads (or slam them on the desk) when we examples of such denial.

I think Christians are ok, and have many christian friends. I am cool with ya being christian, and I am for freedom. That is also why I have a problem with you guys. I am fine with Christians till they try to get their beliefs turned to law. I am fine till beliefs are imposed on me. When religion effects law, and is thrown at me, I fight back. This is the problem some atheists have, but not all. I can only speak on my behalf. I like you guys, just respect, or tolerate me.

My butthead neighbor was telling me that men were superior and his argument was that HE WAS MAN.... WOMEN WERE MADE FROM HIM... ADAM's RIB...

I looked at him and said, "So what... maybe God wanted to perfect his craft. It's like taking a manifold off a Ford Pinto and making a Cadillac."

What do you think?

I am agnostic and bash fundie-christians occasionally as many of you have seen, but I focus on Islamists cause they are the immenient threat and Christianty has evolved to a place of co-existance like all other religions except Islam.

Whats funny to me though is that most of the Christian-hate doesnt come from people like me or atheists, its comes from Leftists Christians and Islamists. Now, Islam directly tells Muslims to hate Christians and Jews, but leftists...whats the self-loathing about?

Leftists, all this hate comes partly from a underlying disbelief, you just havent the courage to admitt it. Why not grow-up and leave the religion?

Honestly leftists, if you have contempt for almost all Christian doctrines except a couple, your no different than a Muslim, I mean, whats left to your pathetic ad hoc christianty? In fact, I respect most Christian doctrines and am instead agnostic.

Its funny how you love Islam...considering it is the farthest extreme of the right.

wonder if they realize that the breath they are using to proclaim this, is a gift from God on its own. my life can be viewed as rather sad, family illnesses, lot's of loss, a katrina victim on top of it all and still have always just felt the essence of sweet Jesus. also am i the only one that daily prays to the Mother of Christ.

Why is marriage between two men, or two women (or more, any combination) fought so vehemently by some people?

I feel that if two people (or more) want to get married, the let them. What harm will it do? What is this "sanctity of marriage" stuff? Why do you have to believe in god to get married?

christianity teaches to love and honor others, yet some do the exact opposite, when those others want to get married.

"Now I want you to realise that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonours his head. And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonours her head-it is just as though her head were shaved. If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head. A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man."
1 Corinthians

This is the Christian Belief but the media never says that Christianity opresses women

so why is it that when muslim women choose to cover their hair they are thought of as oppressd??

God, the all-knowing, knew Satan would tempt Eve and knew Eve would fall, yet God provided the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and permitted Satan into Eden knowing ahead of time what the result would be.

How can anyone argue that God didn't set us up for the Fall?
