I'm a white British lad who wants to find out more about Islam as I have read an English edition of the Holy Qu'ran and would like to learn as much as I can about Islam- I do not know if it would be correct for me to visit a Mosque in the Middle East as I have friends in Jordan and Egypt who can arrange this- what would you recommend? Thanks!

Psychologists say that people will die for what they believe in unless they've been given proof that the belief is false. We won't die for something that we know is false. We especially wouldn't go through torture for something that we made up.

Many argue that Jesus was never resurrected, and that His followers only made up the story to start a church (?). Not that the argument isn't flawed in other ways, but I offer up the following:

With this in mind, think about the apostles of Jesus that were willing to die in horrible torturous ways defending their rabbi that they saw resurrected. Would you let someone skin you alive knowing that you'd made something up? Would you let them burn your or crucify you upside down? Would you sit in prison after prison simply because you talked about this event? I don't believe anyone would.

Christians beleive in story about bad people had crucified Jesus "Son of God". Thats sounds very puzzling:
as if Jesus is God ( part of Trinity), means God let people crucified HIMSELF???
I do not know know who is more insane - me, asking this or others who believe in this??

Meglomania has no bounds.

Imagine a God with Omnicience, Omnipotence, and Immortality at a level infinitely beyone what we ever could perceive. This eternally powerful entitly creates Galaxies and Universes with a mear will. He also creates life!!! All forms, all species. One of which is Human. Who is infinitely inferior to God. Who is limited to only a miniscule fraction of information about the universe and who's minds cannot comprehend the God. And what is it that God want's from the Humans? He wants them to say just how great of a guy he is, but not just great.....GLORIOUS!!!
I've never met him, but he's GLORIOUS.
Don't know why he wants me to say it but, He's GLORIOUS.
Mom could I get some milk "GLORIOUS!!!"

My knowledge of him is limited and even what I read could be false. Even so, my information is limited so my judgement of and eternal being would be pointless, but for some reason your God insists on his followers on making obtuse praise to him.

If I force others to do what I think is right, do I not also have the responsibility to help out those who's lives are changed because of my " belief " that I am right?
Can I force a change in others moral ideas and not be responsible for them when my forced oppinion is placed on them?
Where is the responsibility?

Is there any religion that has it right? Personal i think that all of the religions of the world are to selfish and to cought up in them self's. Man got it all wrong when they took an idea and put a Belief structure on it. it is ok to have belives but when you begin to tell some one their belief is wrong, who is really wrong? you or the other person? Should it matter what you have belief in? Should it matter what you have fath in as long as you have fath?

Contrary to popular belief, the washing of hands is not to abandon or reject or to turn away from the issue at hand, but the Jews must wash for prayer, as they too are Muslims.

Pilate and Herod held long discussions with Christ and they were well aware of the Islam of Israel, and Pilate was reminding the blood-thirsty Jewish leaders that they should have been keeping the Passover holy with prayer and with their preparation for the Sabbath, and also, that the power of crucifixion was in his hands, to make or break them.

"Go to the pool of Siloam and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight." (John 9:11)

Biblical Jews, like other Muslims, must wash to prepare for prayer, and the command to wash is to go and pray for your sight.

He washed, and Pilate washed, and Christ was set free, and the two Jesus thieves were crucified, and the Curse of the Crucified Thieves still linger in Jerusalem and throughout the Middle East, and now George Bush must go and wash.

Why should i let Religion dictate my life. I am a free minded person and i do not like when people or books writen thousands of years ago tell me what i should i do with my life, how to live my life, and what i can and can not do. I belive that religion destroys our individualist mind and body by telling us what to do and what to belive in. Millions have died since man has "invented" religion because they did not belive in the other person's Religion. why should i belive in some thing that might have dout or no one really knows what is right?

I asked before - Is fighting over religion like fighting over who has the best imaginary friend? So many people didn't seem to understand. What I meant was, how can all the different groups claim to be right?! (I even had one reply claiming Islam was best. Yeah... looks like it right now doesn't it!)

Do you think that people are born with a 'sexual prefference' gene? I do not, because if there was one, it would have died out since gays are attracted to the same sex, and do not have children naturally.

Recently on my spiritual journey, I have discovered my affinity for the numbers 111 and 11:11. Upon researching this phenomenon, I discovered I wasn't alone. I would love to hear other experiences and to what you determine the significance to be.

I've been hearing lately that Islam teaches that it is their Allah- given mission to kill all people of other or no faiths. That not only do you believe infidels (non-believers) are going to Hell, that it is well within your spiritual rights to send us there.

And if this IS true, do all Muslims realize what they have signed up for?

This is not for those who are just starting to question their faith in their religion, but for those who already made the switch. I really am trying to convert to aetheism but I cannot help the fact that there is someone up there who is always looking down on me. I am not switching because I think my old religion (christianity) is fake, but because I question the divider between what is morally right and morally wrong. The hardest part right now is who to blame and who to praise on mere coincidences that happen in my life (no more "Thank God", or "Damn it to hell"). If there was a religion that could focus more on fairness and (non-american) justice rather than good vs. evil then I would definitly walk right up that alley. I believe that everyone is born with a clean slate and the only reason a person is good or bad is because of their surroundings. Without evil there can be no good, why is that? It is because good and bad is but a mere illusion of majority favor versus minority favor.
