Religion & Spirituality - 28 October 2007

The Koran says in 4:157, that God causes someone who looked like Jesus to die on the cross in his place, therefore tricking the apostles of Christ into thinking he was crucified. My question is: how can you escape the fact that the rise of Christianity to the largest religion in the world is ultimately the result of the divine action of Allah?

I know when I first became acquainted with Halloween, I knew some Christians who would only allow their children to dress as Bible characters or historical figures, attended only church-promoted functions, etc. Some Christians I know refuse to even say "Halloween", but say "Hallelujah Eve" instead.

I went to take a look at the following questions:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071028155440AAatLwZ

After scrolling for 5 minutes, I noticed there was nothing being asked. It's just someone trying to earn brownie points for evangelism.

I sent the person a very polite e-mail explaining that this is a questions & answers forum, not a place for people to spam multiple chapters from their respective holy books. I asked them to respect the rules of the forum, and concluded with "peace be with you"

The user responded back with a very hostile and rude e-mail telling me I was the one guilty of abuse ( I love how he tried to turn it around on me ) and " if u dont like what i post just dont read it" and "u better mind ur own busness from now on"

Were his posts Abuse of the forum?
Should we report him?
Was I being abusive towards him?

opinions?

Muslims claim, that a proof the Koran was from God, is that it contains scientifically accurate information about Embryology before man discovered it for himself. However, all the information in the Koran regarding Embryology is copied from three sources, 1. A Greek doctor named Galen, who lived of 150 AD. 2. A Jewish doctor named Samuel ha-Yehudi who lived 150 AD. 3. the Greek father of medicine Hippocrates who lived 400 BC. My question is: in light of the fact that all the information contained in the Koran was already in print by these three doctors, will you retract the argument on Embryology? If not, will you supply one detail revealed in the Koran about Embryology, that was not already revealed or that was new?

surely such an amazing event as this:

1 Thess 4:16 - "because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel’s voice and with God’s trumpet,"

1 thess 5:3 - "While people are saying, "There is peace and security," then sudden destruction will come upon them) as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. "

2 Thess 1:7-8 and to grant(J) relief to you who are afflicted as well as to us, when(K) the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven(L) with his mighty angels 8(M) in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those(N) who do not know God and on those who(O) do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

would be recorded in the history books. Where is Jesus ruling from now? What is Christ's second "presence"? what is he up to at the moment? Maybe World War I was the destruction Paul was talking about.

Imagine everyone in the world having a vote in what we, as a species, do. And imagine if everyone chose, of their own free will, not to allow their own religious beliefs to influence our decisions.

What a beautiful dream.

How do you reconcile the fact that there is no proof that there is no God, and the necessity of faith to that effect with utter adherence to reason and rejection of faith? It seems to me like a self-contained contradiction which, at heart, seems to embody all of those things you stand against.
It's axiomatic to say that since there is no science on the subject of God, or on the subject of whether or not he/she/it/shmizmar exists, that there is no rational position, for or against his/her/its/shimizmarrin existence. This, at best, paints you in a slightly unfavorable and hypocritical light, and at worst makes you out to be flagrantly, and deliberately denying that which you embrace in defiance of reason.
So which is it? Are you honestly really Atheists? Or are you deep down Anti-Theist agnostics? And if you -are- Atheists, will you admit that this requires faith and conviction without evidence?

I stop being religious (not believing in god's existence)
Many years ago, for that reason i became the black sheep of the family to the point of being hated.
Do we must be religious to be considered a good person?

Some religions even go so far that they change the Bible message so that members do not have to do what God asks them to do. And they call it the Bible!
