Religion & Spirituality - 9 December 2006

Now first I would like to say that in no way am I attempting to make you question yourself, I only want to have this explained to me logically the way you see it through your religion. I have debated with many people about this and I have never recieved a satisfactory or believable answer. So please do not take offence and do your best to answer my questions.
If Adam and Eve were the only man and woman then where did their sons find wives that werent related to them, as in their sisters?? If they married thier sisters then that is incest, that being said does that imply that incest is acceptable in the eyes of god? Also in Genesis it is stated that god made all the beasts of the land and water and that Adam named them all, mentioning cattle I believe but if this was the beginning wouldnt it have been dinosaurs? Why is there no mention of creatures so fantastic as dinosaurs if the bible is historically accurate? How do you explain the conflicts with proven scientific facts?

Why do you pray to the saints? How does one get to be a saint? Where in the bible does it say to seek out the saints for either prayer or intercession? Not trying to be insulting, I am simply curious.

If someone is about to kill you, but you end up killing them out of self defense, is it a sin? Will you go to hell?

I need historical, religious, and literature examples that prove Emerson's qoute that "to be great is to be misunderstood."
I already have Budha, who was misunderstood for his beliefs, and Jesus Christ, Abraham Lincoln, and Galileo. But i need more, and I can't think of any.

People were more open minded back in Biblical times compared to today?

Think of the Prophets and their ability to have people follow them. Those people had to be very open minded don't you think. If someone tried that today, people would laugh or scoff at them and call them crazy.
It's my understanding that we only use a small percentage of our brains. It's also my understanding that if we stop using a certain brain function that connection in the brain that allows us that fuction becomes cut-off. That fuction can be rewired once we require it again. So, maby throughout the last 2000 years we have slowly lost what fuctions were there in the first place and have become in a sence close minded.

With me or against me...... you have to think about it.

The reason I ask is because in the religion of Islam, its believed that Allah (Islam's God) sent Muhammad to be the eternal example of humanity, forever.

THIS MEANS, ANYTING THE PROPHET DID DURING HIS LIFETIME, IS FOREVER THE EXCELLENT EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW.

Everything we call filthy, such as, adults marrying and bedding children, owning slaves, or genocide was done by Muhammad.

ADULTS MARRYING CHILDREN = FILTHY
OWNING SLAVES = FILTHY
GENOCIDE (Muhammad's ethnic cleansing of jews which Islamic scripture proudly and clearly announces of the Prophet) = FILTHY

We can only assume that either Islam is false, or God prefers the filthiest possible Prophet.

Are my words harsh? You mean to say you would want someone to speak better about a pedophilie:

“the prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old” http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/sunnah/bukhari/062.sbt.html#007.062.064

A child will believe in the boogie man, the tooth fairy, the Easter bunny, and Santa clause if his mother tells him they are really. Is it really that big of a surprise that a child will believe in god?

You know that it is natural instinct for children to believe what there parents (and other authority figures) tell them. It’s important to their survival

My mother, who was a devout Christian all of her life died from breast cancer. She didn't smoke or drink, only had one man her entire life, had people all over the world praying for her & died a long, painful death. Why? I've heard it was God's will....God called her home & the devil is in charge of the world right now. Can anyone do better than these?

I mean, look, I am all for open discussion and understanding of all faiths. I generally believe that all faiths have a common goal to make humanity better. Now why are there these knuckleheads, who constantly go around intentionally misquoting the Quran/Bible/Torah/Any Holy Book? What is wrong with people? They say that religion is the cause of all the world's problems when it seems that they themselves are. And for you athiests. I totally respect your beliefs, so for those few of you who aren't so open-minded, why can't you respect ours?

And do you not know that you are Eve? God’s sentence hangs still over all your sex and His punishment weighs down upon you. You are the devil’s gateway; you are she who first violated the forbidden tree and broke the law of God. It was you who coaxed your way around him whom the devil had not the force to attack. With what ease you shattered that image of God: man! Because of the death you marited the Son of God had to die. And yet you think of nothing but covering your tunics with ornaments.

Should we pay attention to passages like this? Why or why not?
