Can you give concrete examples. I can only think of this example: sex between 2 consenting adults who are free to marry, but are not married to one another, may be considered as amoral by some, and immoral by others.

So, what is really amoral and immoral?

he had a sense of humour?. The pharisees said that he hung out with the 'bad boys and girls'. Do you think that, you know, after a few grails of wine he'd do a few David Blaine type wowzers? I don't know about you other 'bad boys and girls' but Him rambling on about who would be blessed just would not cut it for me.
Since he DID hang out with them and since they didn't just lynch him or something (after a few grails of wine), He must have been a helluva guy, right?

over the passion of the christ, he was merely portraying the views of many people in an honest manner, whereas prophet(pbuh) cartoons were exaggerations with no factual evidence

so much for freedom of speech, there have been people jailed in the US and France for debating the figures of the Holocaust death toll

ISLAMIC TRINITY:

INTOLERANCE

Quran 3:85 YUSUFALI: If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who have lost (All spiritual good). http://cwis.usc.edu/dept/msa/quran/003.q...

"The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the CHRISTIANS CALL CHRIST the son of Allah. …they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. ALLAH'S CURSE BE ON THEM: how they are deluded away from the Truth!" http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/009.qmt.html#009.030

HATRED:

““(Allah instructs) There is for you an EXCELLENT EXAMPLE…(Abraham’s example) “we have rejected you, and there has arisen, between us and you, ENMITY AND HATRED FOR EVER,- unless ye believe in ALLAH”” http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/060.qmt.html#060.004

GENOCIDE:

“FIGHT (Jihad) THOSE WHO BELIEVE NOT IN ALLAH” http://cwis.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/009.qmt.html

Some of you say that Pagans, witches and wiccans are satanic, but how can that be when we worship nature which in your eyes your god had created?

Why does the Book of Mormon state that Jesus was born in Jerusalem (Alma 7:10) when history and the Bible state that he was born outside of Jerusalem, in Bethlehem?

What would be the most interesting to pair with it? (yes, atheism comes first to mind, but i would like other ideas as well please) and please state why you think it would be so.

I was just answering a question about how people came to faith, and the athiests were mad because the questioner excluded them. So here you are Athiests: How did you come to be one?

Someone just posted this comment on a question:

is that something jesus would say to athiests?
"as for the athiests in the peanut gallery...shut up, no one wants to hear it."
i dont recall him ever acting like that. arent you supposed to be christ-like?

I'm not exactly sure what Jesus would say to Atheists other than a speculation that He would probably walk on water or turn water into whine to prove He is God.

Now as for the idea that Jesus never said anything against anyone take a look at what He said to the pharisees.

"You snakes! You brood of vipers!" (Mathew 23:33)

Jesus definitely used some harsh words when He felt it was necessary to break the hard hearts of the prideful.

Once a missionary on his way to run some errand hired a rickshaw. The rickshaw-puller happened to be a Muslim. The christian preacher began to preach the Gospel to the R.P. The rickshaw puller got annoyed and asked the preacher "How many sons did God have?" The missionary answered "One". At this the rickshaw puller got more annoyed and said "I am a thirty year old poor rickshaw puller, I have twelve children. If your God is really as great as you claim him to be, then how come he has only one son?"

The point of this question is not to incite conflict or misunderstanding of any kind but rather to open a serious discusion about how Islam and the West may view humor differently and how this difference in perspective may be contributing to the friction between the two. Please be respectful in your answers. See also

Have the guys in your life had a positive role or negative role. Has that changed or confirmed how you view God(s), your own religion, or other religions?

That a tree fell on but, it didn't damage the statue at all but, there were two branches that broke off and formed the shaped of the cross over one shoulder? It was a really neat story. It just happened with this latest snow storm back East.
