My husband is physically very strong, but emotionally even stronger. He does not fight back when somebody calls him names, he does not talk badly about them, and if I slip up and say something wrong he reminds me that to forgive is better and getting angry is pointless. What do you think about men who are emotionally strong? Especially based on this?

"“The strong man is not the one who can wrestle another to the ground; the strong man is the one who can control himself when he is angry.” (Reported by Ahmad, 2/236. The hadeeth is agreed upon).

The more angry a person gets, the more highly valued is his self-control. The Prophet (SAW) said:

“The real strong man is the one who gets intensely angry, so that his face reddens and his hair stands on end, but he suppresses his anger.” (Reported by Imaam Ahmad, 5/367; classed as hasan in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 3859).

Simply not creating him would have spared people from Hell and spared Jesus' life.

- Paganism worshiped a female deity...we know what happened to them
- Salem witch hunts - sought to crush any and all independently thinking women.
- Old testament pretty much treated women like 'complete' objects, akin to domesticated animals
- Islam, most forms have special 'rules' which some women choose to follow where as others are forced to follow.

- i do not wish to go into too many fine details...but from my 'limited' point of view, it just seems weird that so many women would follow something that has clearly had a history of maltreatment and sometimes violence towards them.

- this also obviously is from picking and choosing certain facts in order to try and emphasize my own views, but thats what all religions do...so I shouldn't be held accountable in that respect.

- also this is a generalization, obviously not all religions treat women with a lower regard to men, and I'm sure that there's a lot more out there that i have missed.

What chance does humanity have?
He doesn't even spend any time on earth giving us proof of his existence? Why would we get sentenced to hell when he gives us even less reason to believe in him than he does his angels?

Can anyone explain this position to me? Where is the line drawn? At species level? Order? Is there any evidence of this border?

For those who think they need to talk to God in order to believe in Him - Are you really telling me that you would believe the voice you heard was God? Most times when someone says they hear voices, they are considered to be insane.

For those requiring physical proof - Do you think the God of the universe would be some kind of trained monkey that needs to perform tricks for us in order to prove His existence?

Atheist - "God, show me you are real. Make that mountain disappear.”

(mountain disappears)

Atheist - "Wow. That might have been some kind of strange natural phenomena though, like a tear in the fabric of space-time. God make a chest of gold appear at my feet.”

Do you really think that God would be some kind of genie in a bottle?

Deuteronomy 28:53
"And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee: "

How impressive that you base your conception of the ultimate good on THIS.

PLEASE READ BEFORE ANSWERING.

This question has two parts.

Question 1 for those in the USA only In what State were you born and where are you living today?

Question 2 is for everyone including U.S.A. In what state were you born and where are you living today?

You might think that the questions are the same but they are not.

A true Christian puts the word of God before everything else; even his country. A true patriotic person puts his country before anything else. God is not a country. And a country is not God. What do you think?

Do you believe in He who is All-Loving, Almighty, and Generous--The Flying Spaghetti Monster?

My Lord, the FSM, has communicated with me in my dreams and has warned me that the End of Days is near. Repent for your sins and pray for forgiveness to He who is the One and Only, True God!

If Satan doesn't have free will, then God is controlling his evil actions, right? If he does have free will, wouldn't the other angels have it as well? What's to stop them from rebelling?

Deuteronomy 21,18-21; - if a man have a stubborn and rebellious son which will not obey ....his Father.....or...his Mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken to them, then shall his father....mother, lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the Elders.....and they shall say unto the elders... this our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice, he is a glutton, and drunkard; and all the men of this city shall stone him with stones that he die, so that put evil away from among you, and all of Israel shall hear and fear. - " I know a few fathers that have thought of this"
Deuteronomy 22, 13-21; - this is quite long, but the short of it is ;If woman is not a Virgin on the day of marriage, death!

That will take away the afterlife
That will take away judgement
That will take away punishment
That will take away eternal fire
That will take away hell and the wrath of God

So the 4 billion people (probably more) who do not accept Jesus Christ as their savior are going to hell? Don't say you don't have a right to judge, as when it comes down to it the majority of Christians I know and their denominations believe this to be fundamentally true even if they say "Well I can't judge."

I have heard it preached many times, Jesus is the only way to salvation, the only way to Heaven, etc.

There are approximately 6.6 billion people on Earth, with 2.1 billion Christians according to statistics (Including Catholics, Orthodox, Protestant, and all denominations) (Though for the above question's number I gave extra to Christians just in case)

1.3 billion are Islamic, and 900 million are Buddhist for the other largest religions.
