Why do so many christians jump on someone that pratices wicca and cast spells for protection and health and what not, telling them that they are in for a big surprize, that you cannot cast spells, and that it is a bunch of whoeeee. Yet feel perfectly comfortable dropping to their knees and praying which is basically the same thing. Both are using their desires to direct mental energy to accomplish a certain goal weither it be to have someone heal or gain strength. Whatever it might be, it is the same thing, just that they believe in diffrent gods or goddesses. I just thought this curious and thought mabe a christian could give me a reasonable answer. Please do not post that christ is the one true god and that I need to see the light... blah...blah.blah. That isn't what this is about. I just want to know why you feel that someone casting spells is hilarious yet prayer is perfectly acceptable.

Plenty of people in Asia and Africa and Red Indians did not know about Christ arising from death for many centuaries after Christ died and were not baptized.People of India worshipped idols and nobody went to baptize them or warn them not to do it.There are tribals in this world who do not know about Christ.How can you deny if I say God is unfair by denying them heaven.I can even blame that God is racial as all these people are dark skinned.

Please do'nt think that I believe in Christ and God.I am an atheist.

Why should believe the Koran over the Bible when it clearly from reading it has many forgeries and modifications of barrowed literature. It also claims to be of God yet the language even for me an excellent reader find it hard and full of gramatical errors. Also the science Muslims claim it has is void due to it be disproven.

One forged and barrowed part is rivers of wine and 72 virgins in heaven is of the ancient pagan cults of arabia.

When will Muslem's face the fact that they are fools and have been fooled? There is much more but I don't have the time to sit and explain it all.

love God and still love life, or are you holier than me if I want to be a Christ believer and follower who has casual sex from time to time, smoke a little weed every now and again, have a drink of wine with my meals, and don't go to church every Sunday?
Yet I still send in my tithes and offering, I feed more homeless ppl than you who go to church 4 times a week, I visit the sick, and love my neighbor, honor my parents, and do not judge ppl? What makes you better than me? What makes you better than Atheist? or Muslims? Half of you self proclaimed Christians do not do even 5% of what the bible tells you to do but, you will condemn a gay man who does 99% he simply is a gay man. Sounds like the blind leading the blind to me.

How can this be true? Surely if you survived to try again in the first instance you were just a bomber, and not suicide bomber.

Is it only Muslims that don't value their own lifes or do other religions kill themselves.. i believe the Japenese did it during WW2. Are they religious and were they promised 80 or so virgins.

In the kuran it attempts to describe the fetus in the womb... And muslims love to say how accurate it is.

However, it is not accurate at all. Furthermore, the kurans description of the fetus is nearly word for word the same as the greeks description, from hundreds of years earlier.

Is it just that the muslims don't know about this, or do they truly believe what the kuran says, and not what modern science says?

Once he entered his wife Hafsa’s room for some reason. Hafsa was not there but he found her lovely young maid Maria instead. He grabbed her and jumped into the bed with her for a quickie. But the quickie was not quick enough and Hafsa walked in and started yelling. To quieten her down and to please her he promised never to touch her maid again. However Allah did not approve of this sacrifice and revealed the following ayas:

Q66.1 SHAKIR: O Prophet! why do you forbid (yourself) that which Allah has made lawful for you (slave girl Maria); you seek to please your wife(Hafsa)

66.2 Allah has sanctioned for you to break your promise (go sleep with Hafsa’s maid)

One day Apostle of Allah walked into his adopted son Zaid’s house. Zaid was not there but he caught a glimpse of his voluptuous and beautiful wife Zainab (she was apostle’s first cousin) in her birthday suit.

Tabari wrote:

"One day Muhammad went out looking for Zaid. Now there was a covering of hair cloth over the doorway, but the wind had lifted the covering so that the doorway was uncovered. Zaynab was in her chamber, undressed, and admiration for her entered the heart of the Prophet".

The admiration aroused him instantly, which Zainab also noticed and mentioned it to her husband Zaid later. He rushed to his father’s house and offered Zainab to him. Mohammed worried about possible bad press and refused to accept it. But Allah will not take no for an answer and insisted on their union.

Q 33:37 We gave her (Zaid’s wife) unto thee in marriage, so that (henceforth) there may be no sin for believers in respect of wives of their adopted sons”.

Why don't Christians feel the need to follow old testament laws? Whenever I ask this question, I always get, "because Jesus died for us," but that tells me absolutely nothing. What exactly does the Bible say to lead Christians to believe the old laws to be null and void.

Also, why continue to follow the ten commandments but disregard many of the other laws?

the bible say's no one can lose his or her salvation once they have it. However, in revelation 15 i think, it also says that who ever adds or takes away from the bible, his name will be taken from the book of life.

*The book of life is what God is going to read when he roll calls us into heaven's gates by name. if we are there, we enter heaven, if our name is not there, well, you get the picture.
