The Muslim religion is the fastest growing religion per capita

Allah or Jesus?
By: Rick Mathes (he is a well known Leader in prison ministry).


Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of their belief systems.

I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam (cleric) had to say. The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video. After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers.

When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and
asked: "Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world. And, that by killing an infidel.......

I want to take a common animal like the giraffe. The giraffe stands 19 feet tall, and has a heart 2 feet long in order to pump the blood up it's long neck, producing a blood pressure in excess of 200psi. The problem occurs when the giraffe has to lower it's head in order to take a drink. Without an elaborate series of valves in the giraffes neck, everytime the giraffe lowered it's neck, the pressure would be so great, the blood vessels would burst. Could anyone explain to me how these valves developed gradually over long periods of time using evolution.

Personally, I believe that God created the giraffe with fully functioning valves. But those of you who believe in evolution, how would you explain the evolutionary development of those valve. Like I said, if those valves aren't fully functioning, everytime the giraffe lowered it's head, it would die. And I want to point out one other fact: Dead giraffes can't evolve.

Any evolutionary theories out there?

There's a Roman Catholic icon in the form of a baby/child in a red robe, with a crown, holding a scepter and ball. What's the name of this?? My girlfriend is going crazy trying to figure out the name of it.

God prohibited eating of the tree of knowledge. God said, eat from it and you will surely die. Why? Is ignorant good and righteous? When Satan talked to Eve, the serpent told her she would be as God and know right from wrong. She ate, Adam ate and what was the first thing that they recognized was evil? They were naked! What kind of stupid crap is this? Naked! How does naked become evil? How does naked become wrong?
This just seems so stupid.

My mother died recently at 46 after a 4 years of couragiously fighting cancer. Unfortunetly, she got a very aggressive and rare cancer. Well, about a month after she passed away my father went to see a well known psychic and he happened to hit on almost everything from how she died to even knowing that my aunt had thyroid disease. The kicker is that day my dad had to use my moms keys, well the psychic knew about this and said my mother was laughing about how my dad couldn't find his keys and the psychic had know way of knowing this because my dad never showed the keys to him before he said this. I've always been skeptical about this but maybe there is life after death. Has anyone had any interesting experiences. I mean from a religious point of view it's easy to say "oh yeah there is life after death because the bible says so". But I'm just wondering if anybody has had any real experiences because i'm not sure myself whether to believe, i'm a very skeptical person...

Jews maintained their beliefs, their nationality, and their tradition despite having been expelled in their native land during the roman period. How come they retained all this?

In Luke 7:37 they descride her not by her name but as a big sinner. In John 12 they describe her by her name and call her a normal woman.
