Its an amazement to me how ignorant people can be towards Muslims.. As an Arab Muslim born and raised in America I see how people can have such hate in their hearts.. Not all Muslim-Arabs are the same. But for people who judge us without knowing is wrong..












NO ONE CAN JUDGE BUT ALLAH (GOD) AND NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO THINK THEY KNOW OUT RELIGION WHEN THEY DONT.. IF YOU REALLY UNDERSTOOD IT THEN YOUD KNOW THAT THE ACTIONS THAT THESE SO CALLED MUSLIMS DO IS WRONG AND THEY ARE NOT DOING IT FOR THE SAKE OF GOD.























MY QUESTION IS WHY ARE PEOPLE SO IGNORANT WHEN IT SOME TO ARAB MUSLIMS?

My boyfriend and I have been together 1.5 years and I love him with all my heart. He's my bestfriend, my everything. Things are great for both of us besides the fact that our religeous differences are going to tear us apart. He is an active christian, goes to church ever sunday, and wants to involve himself more in the church. I'm not sure what I am, I believe in god, I believe I am doing right by Him, I pray for guidence and thanks, I guess I just don't like the social aspect of organized religion or the politics. I'd rather just continue what I'm doing and not goto church. I don't mind that he goes on sunday, but he minds that I don't. I think I'd be uncomfortable with him being so involved in the church if he decides to involve himself more. Is there anyone who made it through similar differences? What can I do? I don't want to lose what we have, I love him so much and its killing me to think about losing him but I don't want to change things that I am happy with, I like who I am.

The Bible may be hypocritical and contradicting but that is only because Man put words to it and took part in translating it....some parts may be beautiful and other parts may not even make sense.....most of the time I don't think any of it has to do with Jesus Christ because Jesus was not a prejudice person...he lived and preached the Golden Rule.....how much more confusing can it get? Also, there are many hypocritical Christians/Catholics/Atheists/Scientists, etc...out there...I mean, come on, how many times can a person go to confession for the same darn sin every single week? My personal belief is Spiritual.......I give thanks for a Higher Power and this Universe and the fact that we choose how to live.....because I know that something greater than we are created this place....but I don't knock religious people for trying to spread their knowledge...how can a person criticize or degrade people who are trying to preach faith, peace, and love?

Or do you like me better twice myself? What about thrice-baked? And would you start a church in my name, like the first me did for himself?

Ephesians 5:25--"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it"

Ephesians 5:28-29--"So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself."

Colossians 3:19--"Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them."

1 Peter 3:7---"You husbands, continue dwelling in like manner with them according to knowledge, assigning them honor as to a weaker vessel, the feminine one, since you are also heirs with them of the undeserved favor of life, in order for your prayers not to be hindered."

How strange it would be, people being superstitious and fallible would still have religions - since they can't all be true if God didn't exist they wouldnt on the face of it be very different. People could invent a fictional afterlife to ameliorate their fears of death - and as death would be an end to existence nobody would ever be able to say there was no such place. Imagine if the laws of physics always held and that science was a way to describe reality.

Imagine no prayer being heard - ever - some would seem to be answered as what the asker pleaded for came to pass spontaneously - others denied more cruelly by the fickle laws of probability could claim God had other things on his mind or worked in mysterious ways.

What would that kind of world be like?

I notice many Christians here preach nothing but hatred- hatred of gays, hatred of Catholics, hatred of liberals, hatred of women, hatred of Jews, hatred of Muslims, hatred of intellectuals, hatred of teachers, etc....
I don't practice any variation of the Christian religion, as I see it as a religion that advocates HATE above everything else.....
Even though Jesus preached LOVE- why do his followers preach HATE?

Ok, let me try to explain the best I can.....You know when you get a shower and the bathroom steams up and if someone wrote something you can see it...Well, what does it mean when you look at your mirror in your bedroom and it has a message on it and NO one was in your home to do it..
See a friend of mine lost her child and prays every night for him. Well the other day she went into her bedroom and the mirror was slighty steamed up and there was a message on it saying....I am here mommy...with a picture of a flower...something like a kid would draw....
She did not do this...I know that for a fact, and she totally lost her mind when it happened...I feel bad but don't know what to do or say to her..HELP!

Why don't christain make burnt offerning anymore.

Genesis 8.20
Then Noah built an altar to the Lord, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerngs on the altar. And when the Lord smelled the pleasing odor, the Lord said in his heart, "l will never again curse the ground because of humankind, for the inclination of the human heart is evil from youth; nor will I ever again destroy every living creature as I have done.

The way I see it the burnt offering is what made god remember way he created us in the first place. Why don't Christain do it any more if it made god that happy?
