Religion & Spirituality - 22 August 2006

Christians might have all of these denominations and thats for the most part ok. True Christians never cliamed to be perfect like Islam does. All we believe fundementally is that you need to believe in Jesus Christ to get into heaven. It doesn't matter if your culture or religion is completely different than Christians. All that matters is that you believe that Jesus Christ paid the price for your sins on the cross.

I remember singing these words at primary and middle school in the sweet seventies.
I have always been surrounded my media and people telling me to respect others, treat all as equals, do unto others... etc.
And I believe it! Call it brainswashing, I really believe it. This must stem from a stolid Christian-based society and whipping as I child. But only up to a certain point...
Now back to basics, so my question is
"Why can't the Christians leave us poor atheists alone?"
I don't want other peoples views thrust at me. I am very happy and content not believing in a deity.

Answer the question - why can't they just talk to each other and respect other creeds? Mine is atheism and I don't want to hear their clap-trap.

See what the prophet Muhammed commands:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Apl6KZhwQaKHN61x2QDyYXXsy6IX?qid=20060822152011AASWlmZ
And compare to what Jesus commands:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Apl6KZhwQaKHN61x2QDyYXXsy6IX?qid=20060822152011AASWlmZ
Can you honestly tell me that you don't see a difference here?

Muhammed says: Kill the infidels!
Jesus says: Love your enemies.

Not all Muslims are going out of their way to kill infidels, I hope.
Not all Christians are going out of their way to show love, either.
I get that.

What I don't understand is how people can't see that ONE is a Religion of War (not peace, certainly), while the OTHER is a Religion of Love.
Honest comments??

I am agnostic - of no religion but trying to find what to believe - and was wondering something. If I strayed to the incorrect path, would the real higher power forgive me? For example, if I were to become Wiccan and find that Christianity is in fact the correct religion when I die, would God forgive me for doing the work of good but not under his name? (This is only to serve as an example and nothing else.)

recently i find a lot of question contain nothing but insulting muslims and their religion,why do they insult us?????

imagine that someone insult ur religion,saying false claims about The Beloved prophet(PBUH) who we love morethan ourselves,what will be ur feeling????????


they see that we are bad ppl ,what should i call ppl who insult the others???

Can not we insult them by real practical facts from the history?or even abuse their religion?

also some of them are religious ppl and they didnot stop for a second to see if the fact of insulting ppl is acceptable in their religion or not??

May be they missunderstand something in islam

Neither Quran of ALLAH nor hadiths of the Prophet(PBUH) is easy to be understood so they missunderstand the Quran and come to attack us

the question now is:what will be ur feeling if someone insult u and ur religion?



sorry for typing alot but really it hurt me to find ppl who insult my relig

and do His magic act at every conception, that that completely changes the meaning and significance of abortion?
If the Christian story about God’s magic act is just a fairytale that somebody made up, how can this be the foundation of secular laws prohibiting abortion?

A perfect creation would not have sinned when given free will. We would have been smarter, and better. The whole mad in his immage is not possible. A perfect creation would have been good and not done anything to make us need to forgive.

I've had it! There are too much conflicts between us! Why do some christians hate us? Why don't they understand?

I want to tell everyone that I think we must get to know eachothers cultures to live peacefuly.

We can show christians that Islam is not bad.

They can teach us Muslims more things about the prophet Jesus.

Why can't some people stop being so ignorant and learn things that their minds don't understand?

Let us live in a world of peace where no muslim terrorists give Islam a bad name, or ignorant christians spread hatred.

Can't we do that?

Israel just killed more innocent civilians in this war than all the 9/11 attacks combined... a war over two kidnapped soldiers who had illegally crossed the Lebanese border. but it's ok, I know they are still good people at heart just like the Muslims and the Christians and atheists and the rich aristocrats which run my great country, America... but so many people just BASH me for that... they never understand the duality of the situation... US troops HAVE killed innocent civilians in Iraq and Afganistan, just like Saddam did... just like Osama did... just like Israel did... and that is an totally objective and factual statement.

How can we ever accomplish anything if people think hate is the only way to solve these issues?

Love is the only answer... but nobody wants to hear that, least of all the Christian right wing. They want to kill and kill until there are no "terrorists" left... but WHO is a terrorist anymore?

Hate begets hate.

Sorry but this is in response to posts that we should not have the "right to brainwash our children" but let them grow up to choose themselves. I say letting them learn to read later is about the same wouldn't you say?

Especially in this category, which is why I categorized it here and not under "Yahoo! Answers".

This view of mine comes from the fact that all I asked was a simple question in this category and NO ONE of almost 30 answers had anything GOOD to say when I was just trying to implement a different point of view, they all just jumped to conclusions. I deleted the question since no one was able to actually THINK for themselves. It was ridiculous and I'd like to see Answers erase the points earned by users who answer a question that was deleted, not just in my case but in everyones'.
