Religion & Spirituality - 2 December 2007

In the UK there has been a news report about a British teacher who was arrested in Sudan for letting her class name their teddy bear Mohammed.

Does anyone take offense to this? Seeing as Mohammed is the most common name in the world and one of her students is called Mohammed.

In Islam it is forbidden to harm the "people of the book" i.e. the people of the other Abrahamic faiths. Islam itself would not exist had not the Christian King of Ethiopia protected Mohammed's p.b.u.h. followers when they were driven from Arabia..... So where all of this fighting and "jihad against the infidel" stuff. And from the other side....why is Islam always perceived as an enemy and not the people who manipulate it?

I am a Christian, this is a fact I have mentioned on here several times if it is relevant, because of this, these are some of the comments I have received
All religion is crap
You are stupid if you believe in that crap
you are week minded and easily led
you are a troll
And Aziz the rapist threatened to kill me if I didn't convert to Islam, sorry to name and shame but you did
If I was weak minded and easily led would I not be more inclined to side with the people who call me stupid rather than the word of the Lord
Now here is the question, if you don't believe,in Christ, your loss, but Christ died to give you the freedom to choose, and you have, why at the end of this month will you be drinking and feasting and exchanging gifts to celebrate the birth of someone you "know" doesn't exist, Really am I stupid?

why do christians change the words in the bible whenever they don't suit their specific needs at that moment?

i just had some nutter tell me that "evil" doesn't mean "evil" it means "calamity."

so, here are some verse of the bible i have corrected.

Gen 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and calamity

. Gen 37:33 And he knew it, and said, [It is] my son's coat; an calamity beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.

Mat 12:35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an calamity man out of the calamity treasure bringeth forth calamity things.


i can't say they do any poetic justice to the verses, but i wondered what other words in the bible you are supposed to replace. anyone know?

he created the devil, he is omnipotent, so he could stop all of it whenever he felt like.
according to the old testament he loves to see others suffer, whether it's his followers or anyone else.
nothing has changed in 6000 years.

As a Christian, are you afraid to question the bible? If you discovered that the god of the bible cannot be true and real would you then be scared you were going to hell or dive into debauchery? If you discovered that fantasy and imagination make up large parts of religion and spirituality would you lose faith that a god even CAN exist? Why are you really so religious? I don't want to hear all the proof. I've already studied the proof. It's flawed. Do you think religious people have a mental illness of sorts- invisible things love me and hate me?

If so, why aren't they in the Bible now? Don't the Catholics get together every year to determine what books stay in and what comes out?

When my cousin recently lost her unborn twins in late pregnancy,many of my family(christian) tried to comfort her with the words "everything happens for a reason" or "it was god's will".Would anyone be so kind as to explain the possible reasons for god to decide this was necessary.

fall pregnant, they ruthlessly and relentlessly badger their boyfriends into getting married (because it is the ultimate taboo to have a child born a b'stard), conveniently forgetting that if they were true Catholics they would not be having sex before marriage in the first place?

And by the way I am of no particular religion - I'm just trying to understand other people's.

When approach to get married, should he announce that he is gay, and not attracted to females? What if he has very natural flamboyant female characteristics can he give talks at the Kingdom Hall or Assembly or is he not allowed, because he looks and acts gay? If so, aren't Jehovah Witnesses unfair to some?
