in the gospels we read how jesus forgave and loved women who committed adultery. these women not only became his best friends but became his strong followers as well

in contrast in the koran we read how muhommed had such women murdered. knowing this well how can any woman remain in islam as a muslim? is it because they are afraid of the men or is it because these women have no other place to turn to or run away?

I've seen hindus honour christ with tumeric "tikkas" on his photo just like they worship other deities....I've seen them visit sikh gurudwaras and muslim sufi shrines with equal respect.
Why do the churches and mosques create a notion of otherness which creates division amongst people? That they will go to heaven only if they accept a name or that they are infidels if not of their faith. Why not give all things the sanctity and respect they deserve? Is hinduism (How it is practised) not way of life for peace between people? Is that not true spiritualism, respecting the high ideals of all peoples? How can we expect universal brotherhood if we keep condeming everything about the culture of another country/society instead of celebrating it with them?
Rig veda says, "Let all noble ideas flow in from all directions"!

1.Does the Holy Spirit talk to good Christians and bad Christians as well? Is the Holy spirit with them all the time or just at certain times? When does it start visiting a person who wants to become a Christian?
2.How can you as a Christian tell if the Holy Spirit is inside another Christian? How come many Christians fooled people by claiming that the Holy spirit was inside them only to be converted to another religion later on ?
3.Does the Holy Spirit dictate what Christians should do without choice or freedom at all or does it only guide them and they have the freedom to follow or not ?
4.If the Holy Spirit dictates what Christian should do, why do Christians commit sins and make mistakes ? How can you explain the conversion to other religions and atheism of many Christians? Are they told to do that by the Holy Spirit?
5.If the Holy Spirit guides Christians only, and they are free to do what they want, then how do we know that the writers of the Gospels didn’t make mistakes in writing them?
6.If Christians believe that the Holy Spirit comes and talks to them everyday, why don’t they ask the Holy Spirit about which version of the Bible to follow since there are too many versions floating around?

The flat Earth is established and can never move?! The Sun hurries back to where it rises?!
"He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved. (From the NIV Bible, Psalm 104:5)"
"The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises. (From the NIV Bible, Ecclesiastes 1:5)"
We all know that the Earth and the other planets rotate and move in space around the Sun. Since when the Sun hurries back to where it rises, like if there is some hole it rises from and another hole it sets through on Earth?!
The Earth has pillars?!
"He shakes the earth from its place and makes its pillars tremble. (From the NIV Bible, Job 9:6)"
"Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand. (From the NIV Bible, Job 38:4)"
The Earth has Edges?!
Isaiah 11:12
12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH. (KJV)
Revelation 7:1
1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. (KJV)
Job 38:13
13 That it might take hold of the ENDS OF THE EARTH, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? (KJV)
From the NIV Bible, Job 37:3)"
He unleashes his lightning beneath the whole heaven and sends it to the ENDS OF THE EARTH.

Unforgettable, that's what you are
Unforgettable though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay

why do you think shapelle corby got 20 years for having pot in her bag{ alot of it} without proof of it being hers,
and then they relese the model for admiting to taking drugs after saying she converted to islam?
and then the relese the bali bomber mother farkers and then you see them smiling on t.v

is it due to governments scared to say anything so they dont get the label muslim haters.
if they do something wrong they should be punish ?
regard of the religon....
shapell should have said she was a user and muslim she would proberly be at home write now?

The Gnostic plan of salvation was radically different from the Literalists. The Literalists today are insisting that salvation is attained through the “blood of Christ”, yet the “blood of Christ” has failed to solve mankind’s problems.
Perhaps I am lacking in piety or some basic instinct, but I know I am not alone in finding the idea of Jesus’ death as atonement for the sins of all humanity on one level bewildering and on the other morally repugnant. Jesus never to my knowledge said anything to indicate that forgiveness from God could only be granted after or because of the cross. For Christ’s Sake Oxford University Press, Toronto, 1986 pg. 75, Tom Harper
"God sacrificed his own son in place of humans who needed to be punished for their own sins might make some Christians love Jesus, but is an obcene picture of God. It is almost heavenly child abuse, and may infect out imagination at more earthly levels as well. I do not want to express my faith through a theology that pictures God demanding blood sacrifices in order to be reconciled to us." (John Dominic Crossan, Who is Jesus, p. 145-146)
This doctrine (atonement) is a blasphemy against the justice of God. It is highly unjust, inhuman and ungodly, to sacrifice the life of an innocent man, for washing off the sins of sinners. God Almighty is never unjust even in least degree, how this injustice and unkindness can ever be attributed to Him. God Almighty is Absolute and Merciful enough to forgive the sins, even without sacrifices. (Dr. Roshan Enam, Follow Jesus or Follow Paul? p. 52)
