If not, why do Christians debate on this forum? How can they defend their faith within the context of logical debate or hope to persuade anyone who refuses to believe something on faith alone?

Non moslem women in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are expected to cover their heads in public and also to cover their arms. If this is following the mores of the culture in these countries, why do moslems not follow the mores of the cultures in which they live outside of moslem majority countries. Also no Christian may wear a cross openly as it may give offense, if so why do moslems expect to wear moslem garb openly and not think they are causing offence to the majority culture.?

Many christians swear by the KJV of the bible, written in 1611. I am a Christian, and it is very hard to follow the text and meaning given the 400 year old language difference.

If you and/or your church only reads from this translation, I'd really like to know what you see in it, and maybe why you only read that translation?

Jews have long been accepted in muslim lands, all the way from andalusia to turkey. During the Crusades, when the Christians took Jerusaleum, nothing was spared(Muslims, Jews, children, animals). Muslim countries accepted Jews when Europe was killing for various reasons(blamed for black plague, accusations of killing Jesus(pbuh), and the infamous inquisition). They were given great jobs in the land of Muslims, all they had to do is pay an extra tax because they were not forced to serve in the military(i.e. Muslims defended the rights of Jews and Muslims and Christians alike in their lands). When France colonized Algeria, the Jews were given French citizenship, and that quickly most Jews(not all) forget who had been taking care of them for centuries(i.e. sided with the French who killed over 1 million Algerians in the final 10 years of occupation). There are countless examples of such cases.

I read billions of answers in this section stating things like "True Christians don't do such things, when they do that they are not True Christians"

You do realise that this IS a judgmental statement, do you? You do realise that by claiming to be a more true Christian than another Christian, you are by definition not a true Christian, do you?

Just an observation from an atheist, I thought I'd share it. Even "True Christians" are never to old to learn, right?

that the bible is fictitious that they find it PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE to believe in God. For example one would find it physically impossible to believe that Mickey Mouse is a real live talking mouse. According to Christians, what should they do to become saved?

The ka'ba is believed by muslims to be the house of God, built by Prophet Abraham (or Ibrahim). Since both religions acknowlegdge Abraham as a prophet, i wanted to know if the Bible acknowledges the Ka'ba also?
I'm very interested in any answers or information on this.

Genesis 22

1) And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.

2) And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

Interesting all the talk about Muslim women wearing veils. What does your Christian God say about veils?
What about the sack cloth and ashes and the Greeks in mourning in black with headscarves?

This morning God's love was shown to me. I was reminded that the standard Christian perspective is the desire to be grafted to the true vine. Part of our job is to bear fruit. But it came to me that the children of generations of Christians would actually be fruit. It would seem that the scope of human understanding has narrowed the possibilities of the creator. The fruit of fruit would be seeds, not more parts of the same vine that bore them. Like the idea that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. But once ripe it still has to fall if it's not plucked, the detachment is there. In essence the job of fruit is to give way to more plants. Not having just one vine but many interconnected plants.

In our efforts to make Jesus all, have we limited ourselves?

They control every branch of the U.S. government, the majority of the school boards and most of the small town newspaper editorial boards.

But they claim to be muzzled when it comes to talking about their "values"

This is in response to a question I asked a few minutes ago. Do you think true followers of Christ persecute anybody? I am sure it is against our beliefs.
