The President of the United States of America fights with bombs...How is he any better than the terrorist... and yet you hate us so much...but it's ok for America too do it. but no you don't see yourself as a terrorist. Arabs could charge America the same as America charges us. but you don't see us on here bashing anyone...so why is there that dreadful need to do it to us. were not all bad, yet American sterotypes us. Yep your Muslim, your Arab...your a terrorist. that's cold and harsh. Timothy Mc...what's his name was a terrorist. Calaibine high school shooting involved American terrorist. involved your own ppl. yet we're not judging you. Religion should be a choosen, not forced. That's why God gave the ppl a free will. Now if we're so bad, a bad Muslim would not feel as i and many many many many other Muslims. from believers to satanist, this is your will. but how is Mr. Bush any better than the ones you hate. Both are fighting with bombs? and still he wants more...._Allahu a3lam

The reason atheists want to deceive Christians all of the time is because they have demons.

1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 1 Timothy 4:1

sometimes they know the bible without reading it because the devil knows the bible.

"5Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone." Matthew 4: 6-7

I am really confused here. I am told that Muslims believe that Muhammad was the one true and last prophet - BUT - he mentioned a Mahdi who will be like him, and I assume that to mean he will be a Muslim Prophet. This is most confusing.

Is Muhammad the last prophet or not? If he is - what is this Mahdi dude (besides being Muhammad's nephew) what is his position? teacher? law giver? what? He's not a prophet?

hers my proof: the bible said there would be a city called babolon that would be destroyed in the end times. babolon wasent here untill saddam made the city babolon. it also said that his nation israel will become a nation again. in 1947-48 it did. the bible also said that the hebrew people won a victory by a secret passege in some mountain range. its funny becuse 5000 years later a brittish regiment leader used the same passageway found in the bible to win a vital battle in ww2. proving it was there. also a single cell has been found to have millions of more cells within each other. i dont understand please guys give me your argument and excuse my spelling.

An unbiased study of Quran shows that far from being a “miracle” that book is a hoax. Once Quran is scrutinized with rational thinking, almost every sentence proves to be false. Quran is replete with scientific heresies, historic blunders, mathematical mistakes, logical absurdities and grammatical errors. Could possibly the author of this Universe be as ignorant as it appears to be in Quran?
Quran tells Muslims to kill the disbelievers wherever they find them (Q. 2:191), to murder them and treat them harshly (Q. 9:123), slay them (Q. 9:5), fight with them, (Q. 8: 65 ) even if they are Christians and Jews, humiliate them and impose on them a penalty tax (Q. 9: 29). Quran takes away the freedom of belief from all humanity and tell clearly that no other religion except Islam is accepted (Q. 3: 85). It relegates those who disbelieve in Quran to hell (Q. 5:10), calls them najis (filthy, untouchable, impure) (Q. 9: 28). It orders its followers to fight the unbelievers until no other religion except Islam is left (Q. 2: 193). It says that the non-believers will go to hell and will drink boiling water (Q. 14: 17).

It asks the Muslims to slay or crucify or cut the hands and feet of the unbelievers, that they be expelled from the land with disgrace and that “they shall have a great punishment in world hereafter” (Q.5: 34). “As for the disbelievers”, it says that “for them garments of fire shall be cut and there shall be poured over their heads boiling water whereby whatever is in their bowls and skin shall be dissolved and they will be punished with hooked iron rods” (Q. 22: 9). Quran prohibits a Muslim to befriend a non-believer even if that non-believer is the father or the brother of that Muslim (Q. 9: 23), (Q. 3: 28). Quran asks the Muslims to “strive against the unbelievers with great endeavor (Q. 25: 52), be stern with them because they belong to hell (Q. 66: 9). The holy Prophet demanded his follower to “strike off the heads of the disbelievers”; then after making a “wide slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captives” (Q. 47: 4). As for women the book of Allah says that they are inferior to men and their husbands have the right to scourge them if they are found disobedient (Q. 4:34). It teaches that women will go to hell if they are disobedient to their husbands (Q. 66:10). It maintains that men have an advantage over the women (Q. 2:228). It not only denies the women's equal right to their inheritance (Q. 4:11-12), it also regards them as imbeciles and decrees that their witness is not admissible in the court (Q. 2:282).

This means that a woman who is raped cannot accuse her rapist unless she can produce a male witness. Muhammad allowed the Muslims to marry up to four wives and gave them license to sleep with their slave maids and as many “captive” women as they may have (Q. 4:3). He himself did just that. This is why anytime a Muslim army subdues another nation, they call them kafir and allow themselves to rape their women. Pakistani soldiers raped up to 250,000 Bangali women in 1971 after they massacred 3,000,000 unarmed civilians when their religious leader decreed that Bangladeshis are unislamic. This is why the prison guards in Islamic regime of Iran rape the women and then kill them after calling them apostates and the enemies of Allah.


Islam as it is taught in Quran (Koran) and lived by Muhammad, as is reported in the Hadith (Biography and sayings of the Prophet) is a religion of intolerance, inequality, violence, discrimination, superstition, fanaticism, and blind faith. Islam advocates killing the non-Muslims, abuses the human rights of the minorities and women. Islam expanded by Jihad (holy war) and forced its way by killing the non-believers and the dissidents.

Apostasy in Islam is the biggest crime, punishable by death. Muhammad was a fundamentalist himself therefore fundamentalism cannot be separated from true Islam. Islam, which means submission, demands from its followers to submit their wills and thoughts to Muhammad and his Allah, a deity that despises reason, democracy, freedom of thought and freedom of expression. I reject Islam a) because of Muhammad’s lack of moral and ethical fortitude and b) because of the absurdities in Quran.

My question is about the mystery of faith.

I saw my first mystery of faith when I was 15. It was unshaved. Since then I have seen several mysteries of faith, some unshaved, some shaved, and one that smelled like potatoes.

So my question is, how many mysteries of faith do I need to see before I am considered a guru of the mystery of faith?

I earlier asked the question, "Does adherence to a religion impede independent thinking?"

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AqJoNMMcwmv7TKBk6DVRzKrd7BR.?qid=20070201080327AAaQh7P

Many respondents said it depends upon the religion.

So which religions or sects do you consider impeding or promoting independent thinking?

And a very common occurance happened. An Athiest made an assumption about how Christians believe, other Atheists agreed (some very rudely) and yet all the Christians (including myself) said otherwise. Have any of the Atheist that answered this question, and other similar questions, ever looked at the answers of the Christians and thought "Hey... I guess they really dont think like that"? or "Maybe the ones who do think this way are in the minority of Christians"?

disprove evolution? Why are religious people (some, but not all) saying that everything not in religious doctrine is the "work of the devil" when even some of the greatest scientists were religious? Were they the "devil" too?

My Mom recently showed me this embroidered linen item. Her Mother, my Grandmother gave it to her never explained it though.

In the middle of the linen was a crucifix, to the left of the crucifix was a lamb (passover?) and above the lamb in the left corner was what I think was the Star of David. To the right of the crucifix was a Menorah.

Does anyone know why someone would embroider those four symbols on the same linen. What do you think it means?

Serious answers only.
