Religion & Spirituality - 12 September 2006

Disclaimer: I purposefully worded this question this way to get as many responses as I could. I put it in the Religion and Spirituality section because my answer, is Pride, which according to some major world religions is a sin.

So, the polite question, What are the obstacles to people admitting that they are wrong?

I don't know if a day has gone by when there isn't some terrorist act by Muslims somewhere in the world, but especially in the Middle East. They seem to love to blow themselves up and take innocent bystanders. Is life that cheap for Muslims? I know that they think they'll be rewarded in the afterlife by some demonic god (certainly not my God) for their cruelty and hatred, but why do they think their lives on earth are so meaningless as to find it acceptable to torture, behead, and murder people, all in the name of their demonic religion? Of course, terrorists exist in every religion, culture, and country. However, I'll give Muslims credit for one thing: they dominate the category of terrorism. The hypocrisy of their claiming to be "peaceful" is mind-boggling. The tragedy is that ignorant people believe their ugly propaganda.

Yes many times....in John 18:6 Jesus declares that I AM HE.which only Jehovah God uses in the old testament,

Isaiah 43:10 Ye are my witness saith the Lord and my servant whom i have chosen that ye may and understand and believe ME, and understand that I AM HE, before me there was no God formed neither shall there be after me!

Jesus said he has no need to testify of himself but others can testify of him...

1 John5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, [even] in his Son Jesus Christ. THIS IS THE TRUE GOD , and eternal life.

Im a little confused by the Sharia Law in Islam. Ive seen heated debate (Well, damn near fist fights) about these laws. For example, one conservative Imam and a more liberal Muslim were arguing that this girl, who wanted to be a fashion designer. The conservative chap wanted her to be punished as it is, apparently, an offence to draw human features. The other was arguing for a more relaxed interpretation. My points are: 1. how can there be understanding (and therefore peace) between the West and Islam if there can be no understanding or consensus between Muslims over Sharia Law? Two, how can Muslims integrate with western civilisations if what we consider normal is sacrilegious to certain elements of Islam?

You scream she wasn't the wife but doesn't the biblical account of the wedding at Cana (John 2) [1] actually, the marriage of Jesus and Mary Magdalene? I am not referring to novels - but the bible. The Virgin Mary advising the servants to do what Jesus tells them, is exactly what any jewish mother would do for her son's wedding, and according to Jewish tradtion the mother is in charge of the servants at a wedding. So does this suggest Mary and Jesus got hooked up? Why is this such a problem for Christians? Can't they believe the son of God took a wife?

I would like to believe so. I was once so poor and my heart ached when I felt like giving but had nothing to give. So I told myself these rich guys are given the best opportunities in the world to give because they can pampher their heart wishes to give.

Peace and love to all.

many muslims from that region have told me that they prefer to live under a democratic israel rather than an oppressive islamic palestinian state, ruled by hamas. that palestinian state will no doubt become just another fanatic muslim country. this is what some palestinian muslims told me

are they correct?

Islam is a religion of death, mayhem, hate, murder and the Grave rooted in an "idea".

Muslim parents pass their satanic fanaticism to their offspring, this "generational hate and zeal for murder" in the name of Allah their blood soaked God, is an idea so powerful these madmen and women gladly blow themselves up perpetuating it

So as fast as these Islamic facists are killed...the seeds of irrational hate and fanaticism already planted are watered liberally by Islamic clerics in your friendly neighborhood mosque nuturing the same insidious and frightening hate again!

How can we fight such perverse ideas based in a horiffic religion? Islamic disciples go by the name "Terrorist" and actually believe they will be rewarded with 72 Virgins to rape, abuse and re-rape for all eternity in the Isalmic version of heaven, for committing suicide by bomb and killing as many innocents as possible!

Can we win over such perverse ideas when it's a relgion that espouses and perpetuates them

**NOTE TO THE SLOW CHRISTIANS - I AM NOT REFERRING TO VIRGIN MARY**

I also believe Mary Magdalene and Mary of Bethany are one in the same by the writings of the bible. So going by the book, if Mary was the wife of Jesus - then Jesus married a sinner? Sweeet.....

This is suppose to be an open forum. I can apprieciate a person wanting a certain side to something but really, mark yourself as whatever and then the asker can sort the answers from the questions. When posed the way they were, they are going to get a lot of liars anyway, I'm sure!
