i just answered another persons question...
they asked how long we have to put up with atheists and other pagan religions... blah blah
my answer~
that's what's wrong. people who don't respect other people's religion. ok, so i'm christian... for the most part. by default by my parents and upbringing i believe in god/there is a god. but i don't pray. i don't go to church. i don't say god bless you (but i do say bless you). i don't always remember to capitalize the g in god. i'm not a 'good' christian. i don't believe in missionaries. if a culture or civilization has been doing fabulously for hundreds or thousands of years... what or who gives you the right to go and build a christain church or school and force them to change their religion? it works for them. if they weren't satisfied they would have found a new religion on their own a long time ago.
i do celebrate christmas. but more for the family, feel-good, hospitality, be good to other people reasons.
is this wrong to think?

it's the total control of a whole population, they will cut their heads for blessings, blow themselves up, these people are under complete mind and physical control, they may not question any of the errors in the koran(logical errors, scientific errors, grammar errors etc,) because their law forbids it. Why is there errors when the koran is supposed to be perfect(the word of God)?

e.g: sun sets in murky water,
paradise is two thirds islam, one third jew and christian. Why share paradise with jew and christian when on earth you kill them and may not befriend them?
Kill the infidel - yet you share paradise with him.
Sura 65:12 reads, "It is God who hath created seven heavens and as many earths." We would love to know where the other six earths are. If these refer to the planets in our solar system, then they are short by two (and now possibly three).
Where did muhammed get his information from: Allah.
where did allah get his information from - because it is incorrect.

how stupid of kunti to say to arjun to share your wife with your brother. and why didn't she say to them afterwords to ignore the first command.That would also have been amust obey command to arjun. This like 1000's of other stories in hindus mythology are too stupid to believe. eg why didn't shiva replace the ganesha own head instead of replacing with an elephant's. if the hindu god himself doesn't know his own family's status, who his own kid is, then how can he know about the rest of the world.
i wouldn't want to have a god who kills his own son. Sorry these stupid gods don't do for me; not worth worshiping!

If you seek the truth of Christ, you will have no problems watching this. And explaining how every fact could be wrong.

Imagine... finally the world has found 100% proof that an organized religion is real and factual. The current "God" of that religion retires and names you as his/her successor. What is the first thing on your agenda to do/take care of?

The first night I slept over at my bf's house, after dating for months, he told me something odd. He said I looked so peaceful in my sleep that he felt it would be a crime to wake me. I asked him how long he was watching me, but he said it was just a glance. It's more than a glance if you are looking and thinking that along with other things. He's also said that I'm like good wine which I don't understand as I have never had a drink in my life. He makes sure I have money even when I don't need it and tell him. He's said he loves me a few times, but not much. He loves my children, that I know for sure. He is concerned about our age difference becuase I'm in my 20's and he's old enough to be my father. Is he serious and what does he mean by this, especially good wine? I am divorced and we met up again after years of being apart while I was still married. He told me "No matter who you marry and if you marry, you will always be mine". Stuff like that. What's up with him?

Whether its in the Peanut Butter Goddess of another Y!A question or in nothing at all, what has prompted you to believe as you do? A family tradition, a miraculous event, or just what you consider common sense? Your thoughts on this subject would be appreciated!

Why is it when I ask a question, reagrdng Islam or Mulsims, all I get is replies saying I am trying to add a slant or distort the question - How do you expect people to convert when all you do is blast out your paranoia, thinking that all questions are loaded. Some of yuo guys need to change your attitude and see that there are genuine people asking genuine questions, looking for genuine answers

I am talking about the tax laws in the USA. The reason why I ask is because one day I might decide to buy an old church and convert it to a Buddhist temple. Will I be exempt?
