If I'm going to despise a criminal, I might as well hate feral children for not growing up like I did.

Just curious, considering the commandment "Thou Shalt Not Kill". If you are Christian and answered Yes, please tell how you justify your gun and why you would use it.

before they ate the apple

is it possible that they got bored after many 1000s of years of life in a garden? so they decided to eat the apple after having done everything else, climbed every tree, looked under every rock, etc etc.

if you still had to seek forgiviness from ur sins , and ask for repetance, then what was the point of Jesus crossification?

what if you never ask for forgiviness, will you go to Hell? if Jesus died for your sins as you claim , then why bother asking for forgiviness? you can do whatever sin you wish to do if u believe in Jesus.

Crime is never against nature, it exists within nature. So why do some atheists judge criminals, hate murderers...to be intellectually honest, it does not make sense to hate someone for being a slave to circumstance. Sure you can't want them to suffer because it pleases the reward and punishment part of our brains but to hate means to think you are above. Sequential order of events led to whatever vicious crime a man commits. Why hate a man for his luck?

Genesis 2:17...."you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil...

Genesis 2:18....."I will make a helper suitable for him."

God gave the forbidden fruit directive to ADAM. Eve hadn't been created yet. Hmmmmmmmmmmm...always something new. That's why I love the Bible.

Having accepted that from the Islamic point of view, faith in God is ingrained in human nature, and that it is only the parents and the society that corrupt the soul and divert it from the Right Path, the question comes: Can Islam be imposed forcefully on non-Muslims? Or we may even ask: Is the minor jihãd a means of imposing the faith of Islam on non-Muslims?


I do not intend to get into the issue of the minor jihãd; but, briefly stated, the majority of Sh`iah jurists (mujtahidin) do not believe in initiating a jihãd without the clear permission of an infallible (ma`sum) Imam. Even those who allow the initiation of jihãd, do not believe that jihãd can be used to impose Islam on non-Muslims. At the most, they say that jihãd can be initiated to remove tyranny and oppression from a non-Muslim society in order to eliminate the factors that prevent the Divine message from reaching to the masses. Jihãd cannot be used for imposing Islam on others; it is just for putting an end to the aggression on Muslims or for helping the oppressed non-Muslims. (The history of Muslims bears out this idea; an unbiased historian can clearly separate the spread of the Muslim rule over areas outside Arabia ­by military might­ and the spread of Islam ­without force­ in those same regions.)


The Qur'ãn clearly says that, "There is no compulsion in the religion." (2:256) What this verse actually means is that: "There is no compulsion in (accepting) the religion (of Islam)." Why? The verse continues, "Surely the Right Path is clearly distinct from the crooked path."So Muslims can always show the difference between the right and the wrong paths, but not force the non-Muslims to accept Islam. The Prophet of Islam has also been mentioned as a reminder, not as a person who forces Islam upon others. "Therefore, you remind (them), for you are only a reminder; you are not a watcher over them." (88:21-22)In many other verses, the Prophet is described as "a bearer of good news and a warner of God's punishment." (2:119) His role was just to remind the people about their natural instinct of believing in God. Force is not needed because the right way is clearly distinct from the crooked way. Even during the conquest of Mecca, the idol-worshippers were given a grace time of four months to study Islam, and thereafter either become Muslims by their own choice or leave the sacred city.

*I* know what they mean.

I'd like to know what YOU guys think.

Later on I'll add additional information giving the CORRECT definitions.

I also want to know if anyone thinks they mean this:
Agnostic - believing in something only when there is proof.
Atheist - will never believe in a god.
