Religion & Spirituality - 26 February 2007

A man named Muhammad invented the religion of Islam. He created the movement after successfully winning 26 separate battles that gave him control of the arabian pennisula and wiped out all the jewish tribes from their ancestoral homelands (like Medina).

Since Muhammad made-up his religion, that religion has been at war. From India to Italy, from Africa to the Phillpines, Islamic warfare has raged and still rages today.

So the question is, has Islam done anything good for humanity instead of wiping out more sophisticated cultures and murdering unbelievers for 1400 years?

Well, some say yes. They claim Islam contibuted to science. The problem is, when you actually bother to verify the propaganda, it all fails. For example, the claim is made that Muslims invented Algebra and arabic numerals. Uh, wrong. Hindus, entirely and completely invented the numerals we call 'arabic' and all the concepts of algebra come from non-muslims, except the log.

What have they done...

To whom does one owe the pleasure of living
This collection of cells and bit of soul stuff
Random circumstance, in a universe unforgiving
Coalesced to make me, oddly enough

To whom do I pray, who owns my allegiance
Who is responsible, who’s in control
Who do I speak with, when I have a grievance
Who do I bow to, who’s virtues extol

Who do I blame for my continuing senescence
Who is accountable for the weight of my soul
Who will I see, when I discharge my essence
Who eviscerates me, while leaving me whole

Some may think these are rhetorical questions
That the answers are something I’ll never know
For those of that mind I have a suggestion
Only in the seeking, can wisdom bestow

My girlfriend uses Tarot cards. At first I thought it was a bunch of crap, but it's actually really acurate. Can anybody tell me more about them. I don't really want to admit to my gf that I was wrong....(you know how it goes)
Please no wise cracks, I've heard enough of my own.

Why do some people worship a "God" who would kill millions who do not follow him, with floods or fire rained down from above, but those very same people will cry ‘Madman’ when a country's leader eliminates millions in a program?

As far as anthropologists have discovered, there has never existed any people, anywhere, at any time, who were not in some sense religious.Since there are marked differences as well as similarities among them, did they start independently, or could they have developed from one source? Why in fact did religion begin at all? And how?

Before 1427 years, the creator predicts the bad deeds of human (Iraq, etc).. by saying:
Evil (sins and disobedience of Allah, etc.) has appeared on land and sea because of what the hands of men have earned (by oppression and evil deeds, etc.), that Allah may make them taste a part of that which they have done, in order that they may return (by repenting to Allah, and begging His Pardon). (Ar-Rum 30:41)
Should this call us to improve our action towards each another in accordance with his right path? Knowledge acquired with open heart will lead you to paradise.
