Why don't you believe? The theory was developed and is continually tested via the scientific method. This is the same kind of rigorous testing that gave us every other scientificly developed piece of technology you own, gave us medicines to cure us and eliviate symptoms, put a shuttle into space, etc. The method works. Why fight the results with superstition? And please don't say "there are no results", that is just plain innacurate.

Muhammad of the Qoraish tribe of Saudi Arabia was born in 571 A.D. but his father, Abdullah, died 4 months before he was born. Infant Muhammad and his widowed mother, Amina were looked after by her father, Abdul Mutalib. During this time, Halima, a Bedouin lady, nursed infant Muhammad. After a few weeks, she complained infant Muhammad was possessed by the devil and refused him. His mother Amina then died, when he was only 5 years old. When orphaned Muhammad was 8, his grandfather, Abdul Mutalib also died, and the boy Muhammad was passed on to his uncle, Abu Talib, who had a trading caravan business with Syria. At age 20, Abu Talib handed Muhammad over to work for Khadija, who had a thriving caravan business. At age 25, Muhammad married his boss, 40-year-old rich widow Khadija, and thereby became stepfather of Khadija’s two daughters from a previous marriage. Muhammad did not show ‘his true colours’ while he was married to Khadija. But after she died, Muhammad was ‘let loose’ with enormous wealth and went on to have 9 wives, dozens of concubines, numerous temporary wives, and over a hundred male/female slaves. He was also betrothed to 6-year-old Aisha, and married her at age 9 (8 by our calendar). He took to sexual fondness of his daughter-in-law when he saw her changing her clothes and married her – the initially wife of his adopted son, Zaid. Once when he was caught red-handed raping his wife (Sadiah’s) slave (Mary), out of wedlock, he reprimanded Sadiah for ‘making a big thing out of it.’ Muhammad and his companions frequently raided unsuspecting villages, (even those who had peace treaties with him) decapitating the men, and taking their wives, sons/daughters as slaves, ‘the best always for himself’ according to the Quran. In Sahih Bukhari’s Hadith, when some thieves were caught, Muhammad ordered his companions to dig out both eyes of each thief, and sent them away, blind and bleeding. Out of the 68 wars Muhammad and his companions fought, only one was defensive and the remaining 67 were offensive wars initiated by Muhammad and his companions.

The bible Refers to Angels as being Myriad upon Myriads of Angels. Basiclaly Thousand upon thousands. Now ONLY three are ver mentioned in the bible. Michael, Gabriel, and Satan. All these other angels around in Heaven, what do they do? What is there purpose? Maybe they are guiding us or guarding us, hence the term Guardian Angels. Just a thought....

Simple as that. I'm not asking for complex answers here just what your religion is. I'm also not looking for websites or advertisements of different religions.

the fact that christmas has became more of a commercial holiday then a religious(according to christians) holiday?

It is very common that christian parents raised their children to expect present from SANTA,who is a MYTH!How could the church allow this? Why doesn't the church encourage christians not to follow these unnecesary mythologies associated with christmas?

Why doesn't modern Israel rebuild a temple and re-establish the sacrificial system found in the law?

2006-12-05 23:48:05 · 3 answers · asked by Jeff- <3 God <3 people 5

but they refuse to believe in God! It's almost like they look for things that can't possibly be true and use that 'evidence' against believing.

How does that work??

Christmas was originally a pagan holiday, then was adopted for christians to celebrate the birth of Christ. When they made the pagan holiday Christmas, did they invent Santa as a conundrum for SATAN(Santa) so the pagans would know and remember the true reason for celebrating?

I am a man of faith and i believe that God sent his son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for the sins of everyone. I believe that Jesus rose again after three days and walked the earth for 40 days and then acended into heaven. But i believe that religion is wrong in its entirety. Mind you that i think all religion is wrong.

Everyone knows that Christmas is all about presents, gluttony, getting drunk, watching the Queens speech and the odd Bond movie.
But in recent years, the religious brigade have hijacked this traditional holiday and tried shoehorn in some sort of biblical theme.

They're trying to do the same with Sundays too.
Traditionally, Sundays are a day for sleeping off a hangover.
But recently, they've tried to change it into a religious day, and even have the cheek to give it an alternative name which they blatantly stole from the name of Ozzy Ozbournes band, the Sabbath.

Srinivasa Iyengar's translation of Valmiki Ramayana mentions that Rama had other wives than Sita. Is this correct? Then what is the popular view that Rama was wedded to only one and this was his greatest penance?

What I mean is that after reaching the things and already in my hand I felt no more amused and I look forward for another thing to get. And make me mad and blame myself and feeling low of not getting it or producing it. Is this a matter of achievement or a matter of satisfying urges?
