a person can possess?

My answer: Unconditional love. When you practice unconditional love, then all other virtues naturally fall into place.

What's your opinion?

I decided to post this in R&S because it appears to be the most read area of discussion.

That is, if they are even people yet. (monkey with his finger on his chin thinking )...hmmm, I dont know, maybe they aren't fully human yet, lol. But think about it, if you go around with the thought that you evolved from a monkey, I'd say you probably suffer from low self-esteem, and need to see a shrink. Wouldn't you?

Why did god give us the capabilities for logic and reason, yet do not want us to apply these skills when it comes to you?

It's like 120 trillion miles away and may be able to support Human life.
How does that affect you view about your religion?

Does God have a face to you? Is it he or she, or it? Or, like the AA belief in a "higher power" is God a force outside ourselves, benevelent and wise, indefinable, that controls? Or, are we just humans at sea, alone with no light to guide? What makes some of us have a conscience? Why don't some people? What is Grace?

why do many people call it a religion. it cant be we have no gods, and dont worship.And why do people confuse satainism for devil worshiping when its luciferism that worships satain. why dont people understand that. why cant they just do the reserch on it before they think they know it. Like many christians, do they just think there always right about it, b/c i know they havent read up on theses to know better. do they fear being wrong, or fear finding the truth after wasting there life tto that point.

the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou has sucked....but Jesus said yea rather, blesseth are those that hear the Word of God and keep it. In John 2:5 His mother saith unto the servants "Whatsoever He saith unto you do it." Jesus loved Mary, but never placed her as an idol or put her on a pinnacle. She was like any other woman to him, while doing His Father's will here on earth. Then, why is Mary an advocate figure in the Catholic church?

Was physics different when Noah built the ark? I mean, seriously... how did he get all the animals from all over the world on that boat? How did he get penguins to the Middle East? How did he get them back after the big flood? Why didn't the tigers eat all the sheep? I know from reading that you are jealous and envious and want nothing more than for all of us to believe in you... wouldn't you like to let us in on your secret? Come on, how'd he do it?

hey dears..,

if you don't know me from this category..im a proud muslima...
i have learned both the christianity and the islam and read the bibble and the quraan since i was in the elementary school..
and honostly i noticed that the bibble is more confusing and looks like it have been corrupted like the quraan says..while the quraan seem more pure and legible than the bibble..

my serious question is:
i can't understand why do christians believe that thier religion is the only true religion while the bibble contains many believes that have been changed many times and have lots of differences..and some of them doesn't make any sense?!

peace to you..

God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes. God loves just dealers. (Quran, 60:8)

The Prophet Muhammad used to prohibit soldiers from killing women and children,1 and he would advise them: {...Do not betray, do not be excessive, do not kill a newborn child.}2 And he also said: {Whoever has killed a person having a treaty with the Muslims shall not smell the fragrance of Paradise, though its fragrance is found for a span of forty years.}3

Also, the Prophet Muhammad has forbidden punishment with fire.4

He once listed murder as the second of the major sins,5 and he even warned that on the Day of Judgment, {The first cases to be adjudicated between people on the Day of Judgment will be those of bloodshed.6}7

What do you think of it?

http://www.answering-christianity.com/no_murder.htm

Let us look at Noble Verse 5:32 "...if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people..." In this Noble Verse we clearly see that Allah Almighty honors all the innocent souls that He created. Killing any innocent soul is so hated by Allah Almighty that He considers it as a crime against all of Mankind.

If you are sincerely here to find out what the real deal is, then please answer. If you are going to just be hateful either way no matter what is laid before you, please have some respect and realize that Iwon't believe what you demand because I am my own person and think for myself. This site helps to explain it, but I'm looking for my favorite one so I can show you the whole picture. What do you think?

Even if you are not a believer would you agree that whoever is behind the construction bible must have been extremely knowledgeable and probably the greatest mind of all time?

Personally I don't and I do not try to force my point of view on others but today I saw this outrageous clip on "youtube" where a guy has superposed a digital dinasour on a background of Washington. Then in the description part he says that it is a sign of God as said in Bilble and so on. The worst part is that even after people tell him that it is crazy, he keeps on with his crap. I am not saying he does or does not existe, I say if you think he exists, "What have God ever done for you, so you believe and love him so much?"
as for me I used to believe in him but after 20 years of disappointments, I just gave up on him, and frankly I have been doing good eversince.

I don't care how nice or simple my answer may be there is always that thumbs down. I think someone on this R&S site hates me. I can go to any other site and no thumbs down. I know we don't get points taken away for those thumbs down but I wish whoever is doing this to me would please stop! It is uncalled for. Do not asume I deserve them either! I never hurt people ever! I can even give an answer first and then some one else will answer the same as me and they don't get the thumbs down! I wish they would do away with this insult! Before you click on that thumbs down.......... may God bless you! (In case you are an atheist that is heart felt and not an insult)
