i just want to make sure this story is true. When the mother of prophet Muhammd gives birth to him, she had dreamed that to call her son "Muhammad"? notice that the name Muhammad wasn't really popular or known by people.

In the old days, God wasn't above leveling a city or two, or parting a sea. Now that would've been something to behold. Even Jesus did some neat tricks, like walking on water, feeding some 5000 people with a few loaves and fish, turning water into wine and not to forget raising the dead.

Yet, somehow, since we have real written history and in the last 190 or so years photography, the only modern miracles I could find are the miraculous healings of some old goats in Lourdes (or some place like it) which could well have been the placebo effect.

Just one of these miracles, repeated, would instantly convert some 99% of all atheists and other heathens. Say, showing the sea splitting on all news channels worldwide.

Since he was not above it back then, why doesn't he do it now that we've got MUCH better coverage?

Why choose man's words over God?
Man's words are limited by his views on life. He has no capacity for thinking beyond this life. He knows of what he's seen and what he has experienced. He can't create water. He can't make man from nothing. Creation of air, controlling the wind, effecting people's health by merely speaking the words are realms he can't fathom. God created it all. He is unable to be tainted by the deception of others. He can't be swayed into another level of thought. He can't be bought. He can't be manipulated or controlled. He can't be touched so that the sins of man will infect him.
Maybe that's why man chooses not to follow God. A form of fear that no matter what, God will be right. Man loves to have secrets on other man just in case. Man can't learn anything on God that God doesn't allow man to know. That probably explains Man's jealousy of God. Man tries to touch God and be God (tower of Babel), but they fail and will continue to fail. thanks GOD!

If Adam and Eve hadn't eaten the fruit wouldn't we all (Well a small number of humans) still be living in the Garden of Eden nude eating berries?

If that is the perfect life that God planned out for humanity why do Christians not strive for this?

Why not take a section of wilderness, put a large wall around it, with machine gun turrets and a flaming sword and live forever in peace worshipping the almighty?

...explain this verse in which Jesus himself says he is not the bringer of peace but a SWORD and that you are to wage war EVEN AGAINST FAMILY should you accept Jesus...

"Think not that I (Jesus) have come to send peace on earth: I am not come to send peace but a SWORD. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law." -Bible, Matthew 34:10-11

Or this verse in which, should you read by itself (nit-pick) sounds very much like you should FORCE others to join your daedra-worship (lol)...

"and the lord said to the servant, go out into the highways and hedges, and COMPEL them to come in, that my house may be filled." - Bible, Luke 14:23

See my example why you shouldn't nit-pick at just one or two verses thus losing the MEANING behind the WHOLE message?

Really. I mean It's almost like racism, but because the believers are of mixed races it isn't concidered to be.

He is not logical! He lives and thinks in the spiritual realm not of the world. Logic is of the world. Why should God be logical if He is not worldly?

Don't tell me he has no emotions because he does, that's what a lot of Christians said. Also it says we were created in his image. And 3, if he had no emotions he would not be able to tell the difference between bad and wrong or have any morals, which he does. (10 commendments.)

Sure he would have every good person next to him, but no one that can intellectually or physically challenge him and video games created by mortals would be too easy.

If god had almighty power then what kind of sacrifice is raising a man, waiting for him to be killed, and then raising him again? I have been told he was sacrificed but what kind of sacrifice is it if nothing is lost?
