While I can understand from a philosophical standpoint how a nonbeliever may consider faith in the words of Christ to be untrue, many accuse such faith to be arrogance. Why is this? Is it arrogant to trust in God rather than in the wisdom of men (including man’s assumed ability to pick and choose his own path to truth)? Rather, is it not the other way around?

You think the CIA knows how suseptible the Muslims are to cartoon characters? It appears that yet another dinky European publication put up a new series of cartoons that has enraged the Muslims again:

Anyone else want to vouche for this latest public outcry in Denmark as time well-spent by enraged religious followers?

I still maintain that no Supreme Being (no matter what name he/she goes by), needs anyone to defend or validate him/her over a cartoon.

Matthew 26:39 "And he (Jesus) went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt."

I can deduce a very important point from this verse:
Jesus (pbuh) was worshipping a God. He cannot
be God since he is the act of worship. He prayed exactly like Muslims do today so he must be a Muslim worshipping the One True God.

See link for Muslim praying:

Would be interested in a Christian perspective?

Wishing everyone the best.

Only a woman named Sarah and a man named Lot believed in Allah, and followed Ibrahim. He realized that nobody else would listen to him, and decided to emigrate for the cause of Allah, and to spread His Message elsewhere. Before leaving, he tried once again to convert his father to Islam, but to no avail. Ibrahim said to his father and his people: "We are free of you and of whatever you worship besides Allah. We have rejected you and there has arisen between us and you enmity and hatred forever unless you believe in Allah and Him alone."

Ibrahim, Lot and Sarah started their long travel. They crossed Babylon, went through Syria and Palestine calling people to Allah, helping the poor and doing good deeds. By that time Ibrahim married Sarah. Their hope was to have children who would spread the Message of Allah after their death. As for Lot, he emigrated to the land of Sodom and settled there.

Time went by and no children were born to Sarah. She realized she was sterile. She accepted her fate and submitted to the will of Allah. Ibrahim and Sarah moved to Egypt where the king gave Sarah a woman to be her servant. The woman's name was Hajar. Sarah was seeing Ibrahim' s hair getting white, and it grieved her to see his chance of having any child slipping away. She offered Hajar her servant as a wife to her husband, and prayed Allah to bless Hajar and Ibrahim with a child. And so came Ismail, a baby boy born to Hajar. How unselfish Sarah was! For her, the need to have an offspring who would carry the Message after Ibrahim was greater than her pride. Fourteen years later Allah rewarded Sarah with a son, Ishaq in spite of her old age.

Just checked my "decency violation" folder (had three more questions reported, all questioning Atheism) and found my Atheist questions are getting pulled at a ratio of 10 to 1 more than my Christian questions. Why?

I believe that whatever I do for another I am doing for Christ. I try to do something kind for another everyday. Regardless of your belief how do you feel about Random Acts of Kindness?

for starters, how about the disparities in character between the old and new testaments? Jealous smiting vs Loving father figure? world destroying rage followed by... "take my son and nail him to a tree." Truthfully people, if a close member of your family acted like this, wouldn't you call for the men in white coats?

I don't need blood, or even an apology, before I forgive. Am I better than God?

This is why. People are so confused. God is all love BUT the thing is he makes everyone make thier own decisions... INNOCENT people suffer because of our sin For the things we do wrong GOD will NEVER tell anyone what to do I was molested I belive in God and His love. If WE WANT ALL THIS TO STOP we need to come to the Lord But people do not listen PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO! And that is why ALL THIS HAPPENS BECUASE PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW THE TRUE GOD!


JUST BELIVE IN HIM! DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS CRUEL WORLD.. JUST BE ON GODS SIDE! NOW THAT I TRUST GOD SO MANY THINGS HAVE GONE RIGHT IN MY LIFE!

In order to start a not-for-profit ministry one must be willing to allow Uncle Sam to censer what is said. I don't think so.

We got into a huge fight saturday night about other females when it comes to him. I made the point that if he loved me he wouldnt be looking at other women and lusting, he said he looks at everyone and it normal to look around, he also sais when he looks at the opposite sex, its nothing sexually. hes a christian and i want to believe him, but something just tells me hes lying, and another thing...i asked him if their were naked women around would he get turned on, he said yeah b/c its a natral amn thing, but f he is a christian why would he lust, face emptation and want other women. thats how i see it. what should i do, and believe?, I'm confused about wha he says, and we talked about this issue for along time, that i didnt want to bring it up anymore b/c of the arguing...so does christian men lust and fantazise??????

I used to be able to dream about something and it happen weeks later. Once at a girlfriend's house i saw what i can only say was a ghost with long red hair looking at us in bed. I had been awake for about 30 minutes and looked around the room then looked at the clock then looked at the foot of the bed and there she was. I have also seen human shaped shadows lurking around my ex-wife's house shortly after my daughter was born.

Now my wife says i have been talking to someone in my sleep named "Sheila". I don't know anyone by that name nor have i ever known anyone by that name. So why am i having conversations with someone i don't know in my sleep?

One other curious event is the night before my mother-in-law died she was talking to someone in her sleep and she was saying things like "The children are okay.", "They'll be taken care of now." and "Don't worry about that."

I don't think my talking in my sleep and hers are related but since i don't know anyone by that name i wonder.

To those who hate Islam and Muslims..I know what you have been told about Islam and I'm not telling you anything but telling you to give us some respect even if you hate our scripture or proprhet...you claim that Muslims are uncivilized people but your irritating Q&A and your continous harassment shows that you lack manners and decence...is it hard to stop insulting our prophet and to try to ask us politely about what you find strange in our religion instead..many members here ask politely and get answers from Muslims like Debra M, Sara, Atheist Eye Candy and many others..why don't you give us the same respect we give to you?
We never insult Jesus or Moses..we never make fun of people like you do..I even psted a funny pic for Bush then a Muslim sister remind me that it is wrong to make fun of people and I removed the Q..even Bush not Jesus or Muhammad peace be upon them.
