Its been said many times, that nothing gives a person a greater sense of purpose than opposition to an enemy. Whether the enemy deserves to be an enemy or knows hes an enemy, is a lesser point.

Go to Islamic chat rooms, and listen to how much dialogue centers around these "enemies".

Its not enough however to simply declare an enemy, like "Satan". Do people really hate Satan and live to fight this "enemy"? No, hes not tanglible. So, while the bible also refers to "enemies" it doesnt put enough flesh on the bone, and thus, doesnt create as powerful a sense of purpose as you will see in the Islamic community.

Heres a Quran aya, that even makes your entire family the enemy!

O ye who believe! Lo! among your wives and your children there are enemies for you, therefor beware of them. And if ye efface and overlook and forgive, then lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. http://cwis.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/064.qmt.html

Anyway, do a Quran word search with "enemies/enemy".

One of my favorite philisophical quotes is.

"Nothing on earth has had to evolve more rapidly and desperately than religion in order to survive."

While blatently apparent to anyone who researches religious history, does it suprise you that people still believe in a structured form of a God/God(s). It is truly astounding how these people can convince themselves, with no knowledge on the subject, that their religion is right and everyone else is wrong. I am clearly interested in the psychological side of these thoughts.

What are your guys thoughts?

The Bible was written by forty different people over a period of hundreds of years. Just a little proof that God is in control and the center of the universe.
The shortest chapter of the Bible is Psalm 117. The longest is Psalm 119. The chapter in the center of the Bible is Psalm 118. There are 594 chapters before and after Psalm 118. Multiply this number by 2 and you'll get 1188. The center verse of the Bible is Psalm 118:8. Psalm 118:8(NKJV): It is better to trust in the LORD than put confidence in man." The word Lord is in the center of this verse and in the center of the Bible. How could this have happened without God's plan and Him in control?

Imagine for 30 seconds you are wrong...

Atheist: What evidence could God give you to make you believe that He was real (not kind, just real)?

Theist: What could you learn or see that would make you disbelieve in God?

Hmmmm, I guess I forgot about this passage, but someone just reminded me of it. What do you think this could mean?

"Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones."

Is it good, since it's happening to the whore of Babylon's children?

Please don’t say that Christians are not rapists, over 75% of the US prison population was Christian in 1997. I'm sure that a few of them were rapists.

All u foriengers outside of the middle east continuously judge us muslims by biased events in ur mind...oh, because some people performed terrorist acts and declared that they were muslim, thus all muslims are terroists, right? U GUYS DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT OUR RELIGION, and the problem is you never try to understand it, you just agree together on hating us. So much for being open minded...In islam, suicide bombing, as u call it, is only allowed in war (when you fight SOLDIERS to the death). in islam, it is VERY WRONG to go killing civilians and those people u guys see on TV, they arent TRUE MUSLIMS...and then u say islam is sexist...where the hell do u get off sayin that...did u know that in islam, if u have a daughter and raise her honorably, then you go to heavan...and did you that in islam, the most important person in ur life must be ur mother, cuz if u treat her bad, you wont make it to heavan...so please explain to me why none of u seek to understand us but continualy judge us

I believe that the only difference is that a religion has more followers. All religions began as cults.

and all the negative stuff thrown out, like a bully in a schoolyard. What makes you special, as a human, is the ability to deny your nature and desires. Deny em, let's be tolerant.

I am someone who feel abortion is wrong once the fetus is of a certain age. I do not feel, prior the development of the nervous system, that it is wrong. As there is no nervous system, there is no suffering. I do understand why a Christian would, but I was wondering, do you Christians out there understand why I feel it is not? When an animal is butchered, it suffers greatly, but when a fetus is aborter at a very early age, it is simply a bundle of cells, no more significant than sperm. Every time men ejaculate, millions of sperm die... is that wrong?
