you explain that our minds are more complex than computers? If we evolved over millions of years, why did we stop evolving into something else more perfect? Instead of humans, why then aren't we superhumans? I believe God made us in His own image. Simple as that! Makes more sense. Why can't you who don't believe see?

Many non-Muslims are surprised to find out that according to Muslim belief, Jesus, the son of Mary, is one of the greatest messengers of God. Muslims are taught to love Jesus, and a person cannot be a Muslim without believing in the virgin birth and miracles of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him. Muslims believe these things about Jesus not because of the Bible or any other religion, but simply because the Holy Qur'an says these things about him. However, Muslims always emphasize that the miracles of Jesus, and all other prophets, were by "God's permission". This having been said, many Christians feel to not believe that Jesus is the "Son of God", "God Incarnate" or the "Third Person" of the Trinity. This is because the Qur'an clearly says that Almighty God does not have a "Son" --- neither allegorically, physically, metaphorically or metaphysically. The Pure Monotheism of Islam rejects the notion of "defining" God (which is basically what the "Doctrine of the Trinity" does), saying that someone is "like" God or equal to him, or praying to someone else besides God. Also, Islam teaches that titles such as "Lord" and "Savior" are due to God alone. In order to avoid misunderstanding, it should be clarified that when Muslims criticize the Bible or the teachings of Christianity, they are not attacking "God's Word" or Jesus Christ, peace be upon him. From the Muslim point of view, they are defending Jesus and God's Word --- which they have in the form of the Qur'an. Muslim criticism is targeted at writings that some people claim are God's word, but Muslim's simply don't accept their claim that they are really God's word in toto. Additionally, Christian doctrines such as the Trinity and the Atonement are criticized by Muslims precisely because they did not originate from Jesus, peace be upon him. In this way, Muslims are the true followers of Jesus, peace be upon him, because they defend him from the exaggerations of the Christians and teach the Pure Monotheism that Jesus himself followed.http://www.jews-for-allah.org/jewish-mythson-islam/

I find it strange that people never once stop to question if what they read in magazines or gossip papers but they question the words of the Bible.Such as Condi Rice and Pres.Bush having an affair, or Anything about Clinton,no matter how silly. How about Bat Boy seen at Burger King?What do you think?

There is no emotion; there is peace.
There is no ignorance; there is knowledge.
There is no passion; there is serenity.
There is no death; there is the Force.

Jedi are the guardians of peace in the galaxy.
Jedi use their powers to defend and protect, never to attack others.
Jedi respect all life, in any form.
Jedi serve others rather than ruling over them, for the good of the galaxy.
Jedi seek to improve themselves through knowledge and training.

I don't understand why children do not have the same religious freedoms as adults. Is it possible that a future generation could make up laws protecting the religious rights of children. Meaning that they can refuse to go to church, or believe in another religion without being harassed about it? You can also answer this one, is it harassment to continue to argue with a child about a religion.

The evangelicals were honorable people, Christians such as Maurice, Kingsley, Anglicans and Methodists.

Their concern was to protect the poor and oppressed and underprivileged. They helped end child labor and slavery. Worked for the extension of voting rights beyond the aristocracy and landowners to empower the workers.

But in America today, fundamentalists are stealing the name "evangelical" instead of admitting that they are fundamentalists. They come down on the side of Big Brother big government, snooping into your private life. They want to dictate to you what your private sex life should be, and tell you that your marriage must be only the government-approved model. They are trying to tell women what they may do about their own bodies. They want to give the school boards the power to force government-approved prayer on children - and of course, it's only their religion which they want taught.

America's so-called evangelicals are fakes. Just "big-government" fundies.

The Christian bible tells us Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father (God) except through him. The Qur'an tells us that God revealed his final message only to Muhammad and that he is the only true prophet. On the day of judgement he will be the first one to be ressurected. And the common misconception of Buddhism is that Buddha is the counterpart to God but Buddhists believe that there is no such thing as God or any supreme creator whatsoever. Yet all three of these religous figures have one thing in common. They strive to make you a better person. So if you really want to be a better person and live your life in peace, love, and happiness you can do so without having to decide which religion is right for you. Nobody knows what's going to happen after we die but if you spend your lifetime wondering what's going to happen to you after you die then you've wasted a perfectly good lifetime.

I mean, for a guy that created the whole universe, it seems like a very small accomplishment to heal a cancer patient.

Isn't it a much bigger miracle if a human doctor heals a cancer patient?

If I ever have children, I think I'll lay down all the different religions and let them read them all to decide for themselves. Why don't more parents teach this way?

Do you or wil you start paying attention when the prdictions of the Bible(End Times particularly) start coming true?For example;Bible says to pray for peace over in the middle east area where all the fightings going on.Peace means that they will eventually be able to rebuild the temple which will eventually allow for the anti-Christ to proclaim that he is God

Matthew 24:32-Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

Bible experts say,the fig tree refers to Isreal. So evan though you athiest supposedly dont care or dont believe.Will you at least be paying attention when Bible prophecies come true?

Joan of Arc was only 19 years old when she was tied to a post and burned alive. She screamed in pain and terror as the flames climbed up her body. Could God have prevented this from happening?

alot of prople ask questions reagarding evolution can you argue that we are all not a process of evolution? I mean we start out as an unfurtilized ovum till out daddy's come along with their sperm and conception occures, we then evolve into an enbryo, we are like this for around 7 weeks till we then evolve once again into a fetus and for the last and final time after 40 weeks we evolve into a baby/human and are born this has been well and truly prooven so can you still argue that this/we are not the product of evolution or is not true?
