Quran 8:39 “And FIGHT with them UNTIL...RELIGION SHOULD BE ONLY FOR ALLAH"http://cwis.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/008.qmt.htmlhttp://cwis.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/008.qmt.html

Ok, so Muslims should fight non-muslims until religion is only for Allah. Obviously, the only way a Muslim reading this in the Quran can be sure "religion" is only for Allah is to force people into Islam.

So what is the scope of this fight? Muslims are to fight UNTIL religion ONLY for Allah. Since maybe Buddist culture are the only culture today, that Muslims can take over with much blood, we are forced to conclude that 8.39 in the Quran is a command for outright genocide of the entire non-muslim world.

Now, to 'appear' to lessen the savage words in this part of the Quran, it later says "but if they behave, then surely Allah sees what they do". Sounds like a qualification...right? But notice, all it says is that "if" they behave, Allah sees it, not that Muslims should stop their genocide.

In order for the Koran to be considered inspired by God, then it should have NO mistakes because God is perfect. Well the false prophet Mohammad writes in the Koran that "Christians worship 3 gods (referring to the Trinity) which consist of the Father, the Son and the MOTHER!!!!

It is common knowledge, and always has been, that the trinity is the Father , Son and Holy Spirit! Some prophet Mohammad turned out to be!!! Can't even get something that simple correct!

Here's a little proof out of the Koran, there are other verses as well.

"...Then Allah will say: 'Jesus, the son of Mary, did you ever say to mankind: 'Worship me and my mother as gods beside Allah?'" (Koran 5:114)

Think about it, put a whole bunch of species from all different planets...asians, hispanics, deer, and put them all on one planet...

what do you get? the best intergalactic reality show ever!!! (SP--LOL)

Maybe the aliens had motives to amuse themselves...how fantastic...So, therefore by logic, I think the world and most of the Universe was created by aliens in other dimentions for intergalactic tv amusement throughout the Universe.

Just wondering, since I do hear the argument "The US was founded as a Christian nation" often, how many of you actually know the beliefs of, say, Thomas Jefferson?

If you would like to put a specific religion/ denomination, please state your source.

Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel, used his weekly television broadcast to urge public school teachers to use their positions of influence to both promote Christianity in class and to evangelize to students after class. Staver stated that “teachers and public school administrators are essentially domestic missionaries” and that since teachers spend more time with children than pastors or even their parents, Christian teachers have a “tremendous opportunity” to reach children. Staver urged teachers not to simply pray privately before or after school, but to seek to impart their Christian views to their students and take advantage of their position because “Christian educators really have a missionary opportunity in the public schools.”

This man is an important political figure and was personally invited to the White House last month. Outrage! What do you think?

because years ago she had said something about their son. The women was 97 and senile, I am having a hard time reconciling my relationship with them after this. I am offended and deeply saddened that two people who lived mere minutes from where my grandma was dying refused to go see her. I live a few states away and was unable to make it on the day she died, she went very quickly. so this wonderful woman died in a home, with no family around her when they could have gone to sit with her. These people call themselves christians. What can I do to make things better between us?

Last week I asked a question "Can anyone pray for my friend," as my friend (Praveen) accidentally fell from the third floor and was in serious condition. With the prayers of all, God blessed him and he is slowly improving now. He is out of danger. I thank all of my friends of yahoo answers for their support and praying for my friend.

tFirstly forget politics out of this and talk ab religion. The word bible isnt even in the bible, so there begins the human fabrication, how can someone claim its the word of God if it was changed so much by humans. The New Testament was written 200 years after Jesus(pbuh) died and in a language he didnt even speak. Jesus didnt even call himself a christian(another fabrication). In the Bible Jesus predicted that ppl would worship in vain, "But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." This verse, Matthew 15:9. Would someone please tell me which Bible is the right one bc if i were trying to convert i would sure be at a loss. Why are there so many mistakes in the bible surely this cannot be attributed to God (e.g. of conflicting verses II Samuel 6:23 Genesis 6:3 John 5:37). Lastly i dont understand how christians can claim monotheism when they worship jesus and God, how can he be the Son of God and God at the same time this is the biggest contradiction

Is this because sheep cannot be independent thinkers? Is god afraid of ppl being smart? (I mean he really didn't want Adam and Eve to know good and evil did he?) Is science such a threat that they need to demonize it the way they did to the pagans...who are their predecessors? The tower of babel was a threat to the almighty? Whew! What do you think?

What do you do to keep your youth close to the Lord? What have you done that you never thought you would have, if anything?

I work closely with the Youth Minister at my church (a very small church) and we have a faith-based mentoring program, teen church (meets twice a month), youth night and a youth Sunday.

1 Samuel14:24-27 And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until evening, that I may be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted any food.
25 And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground.
26 And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath.
27 But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.

Does this mean a curse feel upon Johnathan?

Quran 2:223 “Your wives are a tilth for you, SO GO INTO YOUR TILTH WHEN YOU LIKE ...” http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/002.qmt.html

So, take for example a Muslim man who gets his wife through an arranged marriage. This poor ignorant little girl is now his "tilth" or property. He can go into his tilth whenever he pleases. So, you have scenarios where wives are getting raped, who dont even know this slobbering old animal on top of her.

You cant blame the Islamic rapist, after all, he is told in the Quran that he can have sex whenever "he" pleases. How clear is that! Allah the rape moon God. Nice.

First let me state that I am an atheist. But I do want to debate this question. I am a good person that follows a good life. I have a wife and children, I volunteer, and I try to set a good example. That being said, why should I have to believe in God and go to church to go to heaven if such a place exists? Wouldn't God see what a nice person I am and just let me in for the good deeds and other things. I really am interested in what kind of answers I will get for this question.
