Try attacking the argument of Islam and not the prophet. If it was really that bad why are there so many people in that religion? What ur doing is abusive ad hominem. Your trying to discredit a man by attacking him personally and ignoring his argument. This only weakens YOUR position.

It seems to me that evolutionists are deluding themselves into believing themselves to be somehow smarter or better educated than anyone who chooses to believe in either Intelligent Design or Creationism theories. Quite of few of the die-hard evolutionists that I've talked with seem to feel that any system of religion diminshes them, but... Random House College Dictionary & Dictionary.com defines religion as - "a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe", "a deep convition of the validity of religious beliefs & practices", "a point or matter of ethics & conscience". Merriam Webster - "a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith". Encarta - "a set of strongly-held beliefs, values, and attitudes that somebody lives by" & "an object, practice, cause, or activity that somebody is completely devoted to or obsessed by". By these definitions, wouldn't the scientifically unproveable THEORY of evolution be a religion?

Isaiah 9:6 Unto us a child will be born, a son given, and he will be almighty God, and the prince of peace."

what does that prediction from many years before Jesus the Messiah came to earth mean to you.

please dont say the bible is tampered with-it is from the Hebrew and still in the Jewish Scriptures-Why would those prophecied to reject the Messiah (ISAIAH 53 "HE WILL BE REJECTED AND LAY DOWN HIS LIFE TO MAKE ATONEMENT FOR OUR SINS." WHY WOULD THEY put this in there and leave it in there? why not be real-reality check

It's GOT to be someone alive on the earth. I'd have to say my partner. The woman is God.

This is a hypothetical question. If God sent Christ back through a human being, who do you imagine it might be? Someone known for charity work? A loved one? Yourself? Me?

Me?

Me?

I believe in God and I believe in evolution. But all my bible beating friends yell at me when I talk about it... They say that’s a sin blah blah blah and say I don’t believe in God I know what I believe but why is it so hard for people to accept my belief in both... I won’t go into detail but I think it’s a rational belief. Why if someone doesn’t agree they have to push their belief down your throat

So, from most of the comments I've read from atheists (and I'm saying "most" so don't get all defensive if you are not one of them), they claim their logic and reasoning are reality. So this claim is based on knowledge attained from your senses right? It must be so, because you rely so heavily on "evidence" right? And evidence is perceived only through your senses, right? What then do you say about deception? About magic tricks that deceive your senses... (Metaphorically speaking)... Is that then your reality? What if your logic does not allow you to see past your senses... And how can you call this reality? Evidence and science is everchanging... A few hundred years ago, the world was flat... And everyone who disagreed was killed... Why are you trying to do the same thing here (without actually killing....)?

So many people choose to return hatred for hatred and insult for insult. What good does that do? Yes, for a moment it might feel cathartic, even good, but in the end it ill always harm you most.

later. Is there anything more absurd than this?
It's not a sacrifice if you take it back right ?
Christians claim that the price for sin was so high that Man could not pay it-- only God could pay the debt. What was that sin? Eating the forbidden fruit! Can any ideology be as atrocious and ridiculous as this?
According to story, God told Adam that on the day he ate the fruit, he would die. The serpent, however, told Eve that they would not die if they ate it, but that they would attain the knowledge of good and evil. Therefore, according to the BIBLE, the first lie was told by God, and the first truth told by Satan. For me, I cant accept it however I am threatened. It has to make sense to me... that's the way my brain works. And I am sure My God knows that. And you wish to know the ATTrbutes of my God :
Say: He, Allah, is One
Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
He begets not, nor is He begotten.
And none is like Him.

If you guys still find Logic in the above story, may Allah help U

Why doesn't Josephus mention it in his Antiquities or Wars? He meticulously detailed everything else, and Christians love to point to his books?

Why did no other Jewish scholar mention it?

Why is there no Roman record of it? Why is it never even hinted at until 80-120 years after the supposed event?

Why is it present in only one Gospel nativity, but missing from Luke?

Why is it never mentioned by Paul? Why does no one before the end of the First Century CE seem to know anything about it?

Or is it just another lovely tale of the slaughter of innocent children fabricated to show us the Hebrew God's love, like the fabricated stories of the slaughter of all Egyptian first born in Exodus?

You people really seem to go for that stuff.

very few atheists ever conduct experiements to back up their theories on life formation, so instead they just sit at home reading books and magazine articles written by "scientists" and hope that these experiments and theories they are reading are correct and proven in good faith. also, they pick and choose what they want to believe. they purposly avoid discussing peer-reviewed articles that contradict their beliefs, such as the problems with the famous urey-miller experiment and how it was conducted. basically, atheists have to have a whole lot of faith to believe this horse s**t they read so often. so why do they mock christians on an hourly basis for believing in a book written by disciples of jesus? seems like the pot is calling the kettle black to me.

I mean, you are to eat the "flesh and blood" of your father.
You are to bathe your children in the blood of the lamb.
You are to burn animals alive as the smell pleases our Lord.

Any explanations as to why God is such a macabre deviant?

If you believe that Pharaohs existed in Egypt, logically one must conclude that a magical sky-creature knocked up a virgin who gave birth to a son who performed magic tricks before flying away into the sky.

Duh.
