Without the Holocaust, and the destruction of shetl Jewry and its culture, Israel never gets off the drawing board. Before the ink was dry on on the Balfour declaration, England was, (as is their habit) backing away from its promise of a jewish homeland.

I know the Quran and Muslim teachings say that the important folks such as Mosus (Musa), David (Dawid), and Abraham (Ibrahim) were Muslims BUT no other historical or religious writing before Muhammed's Quran states this. What do you think?

Ok, my life is "bad luck". When I was young I was molested by my dad, but never told. I was molested again at a babysitters house, but never told. The reason I never told was because I absolutley did not know if someone did sexually acts to me I was suppose to tell. Well in school, I was always teased and called ugly, mostly behind my back. And I have always been pushed around by my family and others and I just feel so weak. Well now I'm in college and I am doing bad. I'm on acedemic probation and if I don't make 2 A's and 2 B's I'm out of school. This past week has been the worse. I made a F and a D, my grandma and mom told me a need work done on my teeth-I hate my looks. And just random "bad' things to add to my already "bad" luck. I just feel like God doesn't love. I believe in him, but I don't believe he believes in me. Or am I just overreacting? Help, I'm at my end. I don't see why I should keep going if nothing good ever happens to me. I work hard and nothing ever amounts to it.

I wasn't raised in a religious manner and throughout my life I haven't noticed or felt "God" or anything of the like. Recent attempts to mostly feel like superstition from reading various books and not real evidence.

I wonder why the world is in the state it is, than I come on R&S, and I am astounded at how many christians condem others and even another for not believing precisely as they do. What happened to the rules of Patience, Consideration, and Understanding? Jesus was jewish, Mohammed was islamic, and even buddahism and aspects of native american beliefs have the same basis as all the rest. Don't condem what you don't know, have you considered one is not right but all, but than you condem a war you helped start? Practice what we preach, peace and brotherhood, and stop the hating. That is what is wrong with the world.

I used to wonder this when the bible was being pushed down my throat as a kid. I don't believe in the bible anymore. But the old testament made me hate the christian god when I used to believe in him.
Why can the christian god break his own commandments?
And why does he expect us to follow them when he doesn't?

I am currently a non-practicing Catholic, this question is to Jehova Witness? Is there an agreement that every scripture counts? I have been told by family, priests, and doctors alike who all claim to be Christain in one form or another that the existence of demons, demonic spirits and anthing related to an antichrist is nothing more than fan-faction. I am finding a common thread among many neo-non-denominational Christains who write books also that "How to imrpove you.....A Better you ect? Does not the scripture teach us we owe a thanks to God and it is not so much about getting promoted at work, or getting "more pleasure" but to spread the word..not the merely teach one how to gain physical and earthly wealth right? " Matthew 6:19 "Lay up not for yourselves treasures upon Earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through or steal; for wherever you treasure is your heart will be there also"

Why do Christians say that the god they worship is good when in the bible he kills so many people, supports slavery, and everything else we find so morally wrong we would give a person life in prison or death for? In the bible Jesus was a very good man. But I don't see how people can see the biblical god as good.

when we look back at the bad things that have happened because of christianity (like the salem witch trails, the iquisition, ect.) people say that those were the "bad" christians and that satan was the true culprit.
But i can't help but to notice that those things weren't necessary done by the "bad" people, becuase they acted in earnest. No one, including satan, was at fault for those things.
THe atrocities that occured were products of their own unmodern times. So this means that "bad" things occured for arbitrary reasons, right?

Could it be that God, the Supreme Being, or whatever you would like to call this divine presence we seem to share our humble lives with, doesn't have a sex? Could it be that God is NOT a He or a She?

and ijma (concensus of scholars) and qiya (method of reasoning by analogy). Why isn't it able to be accurately translated if it's perfect?

In order words, why do you have to rely on outside sources and the opinions or concensus of men to figure out the "perfect" religion? Sounds like pure speculation and interpretation is the way for Islam. That's far from perfect.

Have a great day!

Let me tell you a little story.

Once upon a time, when I was teaching in Africa, there was a little crippled demi-orphaned beggar girl who used to come around my house and pester me for handouts. One day she asked me if I believed in God. When I said No, she got very agitated. I said, "Look -- you've met one person in your life who doesn't believe in God, and he's paying for your education. There are twenty million people in this country who do believe in God, and not one of them will pay for your education. Why do you think that is?"

She replied, "You let God worry about dem."

What do you think she meant by that?
