Isn't it sad that specially here in the R&S section I need a backup account (this account), to be sure that I won't lose my 360 page, because half of my questions get reported by religious zealots who simply disagree with me?

Isn't it sad that people simply report questions because they disagree with the opinion of the asker?

Isn't it sad that there are obviously some religious people who are so freakin' scared of different opinions that they need a 'report abuse' button to feel safe in their own safe little opinionless world ?

Regarding the Holy Eucharist:

"And this food is called among us Eukaristia [the Eucharist], of which no one is allowed to partake but the man who believes that the things which we teach are true, and who has been washed with the washing that is for the remission of sins, and unto regeneration, and who is so living as Christ has enjoined. For not as common bread and common drink do we receive these; but in like manner as Jesus Christ our Saviour, having been made flesh by the Word of God, had both flesh and blood for our salvation, so likewise have we been taught that the food which is blessed by the prayer of His word, and from which our blood and flesh by transmutation are nourished, is the flesh and blood of that Jesus who was made flesh."

More early Christian writings can be found here:

Do the writings of the early Christians have any value, or should we only look at what modern day Christians write???

I have now read several things I understand to be racial slurs about Mohamed. I read about sex with a six year old, and many war like behaviors I assume were to releave oppression. One I understand might be true and that is that if a Muslim converts to Christianity in Afganistan or Pakistan, then that person may be murdered by their own family (a missionary told me the last one).

Please tell me if these are out of context,, in error,, or what reasoning justifys these if they are true.

not interested in answers from Muslim haters, i have already heard your side without referances I might add, no more please

I have been dating or seeing a married man for 9 years that happens to be muslim and I am a catholic; therefore, I am already in need of confession. My issue is now my affair has put us into a predictment. I am pregnant. He has decided that he does not want to disrupt his happy home with his wife and their 2 perfect children because he can not afford an outside child physically, mentally, nor financially. So he has just left me high and dry.
Not that I really care, I feel that this is a gift from God and I am going to work my best to raise this child alone.
Is there anything in the Muslim religion that stipulates that this is a grave offense?

Most of us can point to some person who has had a eiterh a decided influence on our conversion (to Christianity) or so impacted our spirituality that we base much of our faith walk on the model of Christ-likeness that this person presents. The person may be one you know personally or an authoer, preacher, missionary, etc that you have been exposed to.

Hey there!

This question is for followers of Islam... or those who know a lot about it. I had heard in the past that it is considered sacreligious if the Qur'an is translated from Arabic to any other language. Right now I'm taking a course on world religion and we are reading the Qur'an -in English-. Is it considered a taboo? How do you, as a Muslim, feel about it being translated, if in fact it is against your religion.

-Only answers pertaining to the question, please. I'm only interested in what the "rule" is on that, not anything else-

Thankyou!!! :)

The Ten Commandments
Deu 5
1 Moses summoned all Israel and said:
Hear, O Israel, the decrees and laws I declare in your hearing today. Learn them and be sure to follow them. 2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us at Horeb. 3 It was not with our fathers that the LORD made this covenant, but with us, with all of us who are alive here today.

Deuteronomy 1:3
In the fortieth year, on the first day of the eleventh month, Moses proclaimed to the Israelites all that the LORD had commanded him concerning them.


these are just two. The point is if the Levitical law was only given to the Israelites and their decendants how can modern day Christians 99.9% of whom have no connection to the Israelites calim that they are free of the Levitical law if they were never bound by it?

You have beliefs based upon many different things, but if what you believed were actually wrong, would you want to know it?

Black women are into white looks these days. Kudos white girls for taking their men, their jobs and their chances of being an equal part of our society.

Ok answer me this religious people/evolution people. Why is that the early people (the ones that hunted animals and made fire with sticks) had bigger skulls, were bigger in height, and I think they had a bigger brain, so the question is why is it that all of us humans are different form the early ones physically? It's a fact that they were different thus theory of evolution seems realistic, don't you think?

Why do you teach your children about santa when santa is just an anagram for satan? This is not against christian religion at all if anything it is about everybody who believes in and fears Satan.

The ignorance about Islam amazes me.

Most people know about the incredible hatred and violence in the Quran itself, and the wars and genocides Muslims have perpetrated since the inception of Islam, yet still apologize for it simply because it falls under the taxonomy of "religion".

Maybe this angle will finally help you in "getting it". Muslims proudly profess the soliderly accomplishments of Muhammad. He lead no less than twenty-six battles of war. Please stop for a moment and visualize that, the time and effort, the carnage and blood bath.

Ok, now remember, he was the founder of the religion of Islam, would you expect such a religion to be produce unusual amounts of violence? I am not making this up, he fought in twenty six battles of war and the only reply Muslims make to this is simply that "they had it coming" and that it "was righteous".

Each of the twenty six battles is commemorated and stands as twenty six different justification for war at any time. Get it?
