Religion & Spirituality - 12 February 2007

Interesting discussion related to the converts of Islam. But you notice that most of the conversion takes place in the Western world. You dont hear much of converts taking place in India. Even though 12% of India's population is Muslim, what are the reason, is it harrasment they face over there or is it something else.
Or the people feel happy with their religion?

Also, please no slurs, or offensive posts. If you feel offended by what I wrote, dont post anything. I will remove the offensive posts if any come

Hi, I'm a christain and an evolutionist who recently decided to watch part of Hovind's seminars. It stunk! He provided little evidence for his belief and mainly focused on disproving evolution (which he failed to do so). Why do people still believe in creationism if evolution has been proven and has most scientists backing it up with shows, books, and seminars? Maybe these creation scientitsts should spend more time proving their theory then trying to disprove evolution. Honestly I'd like to know why there are still creationists.

Why would God allow someone He loves to live in absolute misery day after day, year after year. He has not in any way, shape or form provided a way out of my miserable situation that I have been cast into for the past six years. I have prayed, begged, allowed for "His" time, thought of suicide, and looked for ways to improve the situation DAILY for YEARS, but to no avail. Why is He continuing to ignore me and allow this thorn to torture me? I understand that I have a cross to bear, but it is (and has been for years) unbearable. Why won't He help me? Does God bless some people and ignore others? Why won't He shine His light on me and allow me some comfort? I have been a faithful Christian, wife, and Mother, and yet He seems to have forgotten me. I pray without ceasing for relief, yet none ever comes. Why would He put me in an awful situation for six years, and just leave me here to suffer? I know that He won't give us more than we can handle, but I just can't anymore, I want to die.

"To me truth and falsehood are known. When temptation comes, I give my covenant to him that trusts in me. Moreover, I give council to the skilled directors, for I have appointed them for periods that are known to me. I remember necessary affairs and execute them in due time. I teach and guide those who follow my instruction. If anyone obey me and conform to my commandments, he shall have joy, delight, and comfort."

Why do you believe in a God you've never seen? Why do you believe in heaven and hell, when nobody on Earth has ever seen either? If you believe that everything in the bible is sacred and is God "word", then why have some of you considered the Old Testament void because the "times have changed"? Who announced that the old testament no longer applies because the new testament was written? And those of you who still live by the old testament, do you live by the incest, rape, inferiority of women, killing gays, and murder, that is described in many books of the old testament? And if not, then why? Its apparently "God's word". Does the new testament mean that God changed his mind?
Please explain for me....without the preaching.
Former Christians, atheists, and agnostics are welcome to answer also if you have an opinion on the matter.

i stated in my last question how homosexuality is so looked down upon when it's no worse then lying. and besides Jesus died on tha cross fer ALL sin. not just one or none. oh and how is being str8 a sin too. oh i can answer that easily. in tha eyes of God and tha way tha population started we r all technically cousins. distant, but cousins nonetheless.
