Pick your answer carefully, Christian, you can't have it both ways.

Several different studies have ALL found that the population of Christians in prison far outweighs the population of atheists.

IMPORTANT NOTE!!!! The studies accounted for the difference in overall population. "Note that atheists, being a moderate proportion of the USA population (about 8-16%) are disproportionately less in the prison populations (0.21%). "

Also:

Why are atheists able to embrace morality and be law-abiding while Christians can't stay out of jail and not commit crimes against their fellow man?

IMPORTANT NOTE: One study showed that this is NOT due to conversions in prison!!!!

According to the Bible, the Book of Proverbs, godly wives are viewed as blessed.

So are godly men who obey God's law.

Using the word blessed is as old as the Old Testament.

Sandy was drinking at a pub all night. When he got up to leave, he fell flat on his face. He tried to stand again, but to no avail, falling flat on his face. He decided to crawl outside and get some fresh air to see whether that would sober him up. Once outside, he stood up and, sure enough, fell flat on his face. So, being a practical Scot, he crawled all the way home.
When he got to the door, he stood up yet again, but fell flat on his face. He crawled through the door into his bedroom. When he reached his bed, he tried once more to stand upright. This time he managed to pull himself to his feet but fell into bed. He was sound asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
He woke the next morning to his wife shaking him and shouting, "So, ye've been oot drinkin' as usual!" "Why would ye say that?" he complained innocently.
"Because the pub called an' ye left yer wheelchair there again!"

I don't get why Mormons interpret this verse as Peter's prophesy about the restoration of the real Church through the prophet Josef Smith. It doesn't say "restoration of the Church", but it says "restoration of all things". One can say that the Church is included in "all things", but then the question rises: why then we see the restored Church (LDS) today, but not all the other things in the universe? Again, one may say that "until the restoration of all things" may mean "until the beginning of restoration of all things" and that this restoration will begin with the Church, but then the question rises: what about the words right before that ("Jesus, whom heaven must indeed receive until the restoration of all things")? It says that Jesus will be in the heaven until the restoration of all things, which means that He will come back - or at least will not be in the heaven anymore - when the restoration of all things begins. If so, why then Mormons say that Christ is still in the heaven?

Most muslims beleive the Hijab is cumpulsory. This was a practice before even religion and seemed to be part of modesty yet it was kept as the thing to do even by the Kufar.

Wouldnt the Hijab be considered culture? Culture and Islam do not mix it is Bidah to include cultural things as religious ones, wouldnt Hijabed women at that time simply be following the culture as the norm but not as a religious thing as the Kufar would have too?

The Quran says NOTHING about covering the hair only to dress modestly, not wear tight revealing clothes and to cover the bossom.

So my question to you is if a woman dresses modestly but doesnt nessescarly cover her hair is she sinning?

Please keep in mind I am being completly neutral so dont flame me or anything - I am Muslim and have a keen knowledge and insha'allah it will grow.

You always forget about those who destroyed the legacy and never look at those who committed the crime. Where did you all forget about the murderers? Why do you ignore this?

Jesus peace to him rose all of him you all state you know something that you can never verify. All it is based on is blind faith. Provide us some proof. We have near every prophet's body peace to them yet Jesus is not here. HMM funny isn't it?

.

from the East came, brought gifts and worshipped the young child, ie Jesus ONLY?

Mat 2:11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped Him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.


Why they did not worship '"THEM"'?
Why they did not worship "'HER'"?

Why they worshipped HIM, only?

Do you not want the same Wisdom upon you and worship only HIM?

Don't all 'good acts' from christians actually mean -- Hey, we're trying to convert you for heaven points -- ? Why else do it? Isn't it hypocritical to train ESL teachers to go to foreign countries to convert people? Those people THINK they're signing up for English courses only to have their beliefs fiddled with. Isn't that unchristian? Seems to me that any good acts done by a christian comes with a pretty hefty price tag. Or is it that I'm not a christian so I can't see any sense in anything?

Like some people wont interact with others because maybe the other person goes against the persons religion. Do you think people are missing out on great friendships because of the fear they have from their religion?
