Is that all GOD is? Literally, a choice? Like how there are those who choose homosexuality? Like me? Yes, it is a deeply rooted choice......I like sex.....and I don't hurt anyone.

It seems to go round in circles a bit. Someone says there is a God and someone says there isn't. Has anyone been convinced to change their opinion due to a remark made on here?

Islam doesn't even have an original Qur'an. It was made up supposedly from "memory" and a few scraps found under a bed. This was about 150 - 200 years after Muhammad died at his wife Ayish's home in Medina, and he was lowered into a hole in the ground, where he remains.

Al Bukhari, a Muslim scholar of the 9th-10th century, and the most authoritative of the Muslim tradition compilers, writes that whenever Muhammad fell into one of his unpredictable trances his revelations were written on whatever was handy at the time. The leg or thigh bones of dead animals were used, as well as palm leaves, parchments, papers, skins, mats, stones, and bark. And when there was nothing at hand the attempt was made by his disciples to memorize it as closely as possible.

Zaid b. Thabit said: “The Prophet died and the Qur’an had not been assembled into a single place.” (p. 118, Ahmad b. `Ali b. Muhammad al `Asqalani, ibn Hajar, "Fath al Bari", 13 vols, Cairo, 1939/1348, volume 9, page 9)

Zuhri reports, 'We have heard that many Qur'an passages were revealed but that those who had memorized them fell in the Yemama fighting. Those passages had not been written down, and following the deaths of those who knew them, were no longer known; nor had Abu Bakr, nor `Umar nor `Uthman as yet collected the texts of the Qur'an.

“During the battle of Yamama, 450 reciters of the Quran were killed.” (The True Guidance, An Introduction To Quranic Studies, part 4 [Light of Life - P.O. BOX 13, A-9503 Villach, Austria], p. 47- citing Ibn Kathir’s Al-Bidaya wa al-Nibaya, chapter on Battle of Yamama).

Muhammad's child wife said this after Muhammad died:
"The verse of the stoning and of suckling an adult ten times were revealed, and they were (written) on a paper and kept under my bed. When the messenger of Allah expired and we were preoccupied with his death, a goat entered and ate away the paper."

Sorry, but that sounds completely insane to me. How in the heck is a person supposed to control their fricking thoughts? I personally don't believe in hell, but I would like those that do to explain that one to me.

I will never accept Jesus.

2007-02-11 19:51:33 · 11 answers · asked by Jesus who? 1

So, I hear (from Christians) that the only way to go to heaven is by accepting Jesus as your personal saviour while you're alive. If you die without having accepted him...... You know the story. Well, What about all the millions of people who lived before Jesus was invented, I mean before Jesus and the concept of one God was even born? Didn't God care about those people? Most certainly they died without having accepted Jesus. My Aztec ancestors worshiped, the sun, the moon and a whole bunch of other "gods" and by the way, they were very violent people who conquered, sacrificied and even cannibalized their POW's. Where was Mr. Jesus in all this? Why were my Aztec ancestors not given the chance to know about Jesus? Can someone explain this to me? I mean, Jesus Christ!! LOL

Hello people, this is a question for the christians that I've been confused lately...
So... the christians believe that you have to believe in Jesus and God and follow their teaching to enter heaven.But God has given me no clues what so ever for me to believe in him, so he's going to cast me in hell and torture me forever for something that doesn't make sense to me?
Lets say one day a mysterious man came up to you and told you about a supreme being called Dog created everything, he hands you a large book and say you have to worship Dog everyday or else you will suffer after you die. It would seem like nonsence right? Why would Christianity be any different? Why do God have the rights to do this, because he created us? Do you think a mother have the rights to torture her baby for not prasing her?
I'm really curious about what you guys think about these questions, I don't ABSOLUTELY doubt god's existence, but I don't believe he is the way you people say he is.

Do you retain your memories and being or do you just shut off like a TV? Do you go to a generic afterlife, like the suburbs? I'm being light hearted but it is a serious question. I have all kinds of theories.
RELIGIOUS FOLK- I respect your beliefs but i pretty much know what you believe.
