thats Flying Spaghetti Monster to all you infidels that don't know better.
i know in my heart that the FSM loves you and would like to molest you with his noodly appendages. if you would just open your stomach to him he would fill you with yummy goodness. everywhere you look you see evidence of his deliciousness. so now that i have proved to you that he exists, whats your proof against my insurmountable evidence to the contrary?

Is Islam a violent religion? I am not asking whether the followers of Islam use violence, I am asking whether Islam itself is inherently violent. Also please stick with Islam and don't use this time to bash other religions.

I would appreciate textual references from the Koran, historical examples from the history of Islam and other references to Islamic culture in general.

That's all I'm saying for now. Thanks! Notice this is in the Religion and Spiritually category, if you don't like it, please show yourself out. Thank you kindly, all.

I'm not going to mention names. It's not a lot. But a few. But anyway, doesn't it just piss you off when you see people randomly going around promoting their religion as if it's some kinda toothpaste commercial?
like,
Come to our religion(not gonna mention which)
It is the only way.
Praise ________!
He will save you. Read the ______.
And yes. Religion promotes healthy white teeth too. =D

hooboy.

I'm Jewish and am just curious of everyone's thoughts. By allowing everyone else who isn't Christian to practice their religions and not interfier, do you pretty much think that they're doing everything wrong and praying to a God that doesn't even exist? And if so, do you think they look at you this way?

Besides saying something like, "When I let Jesus into my life, everything changed," how does anyone know that their religion is correct?

There is really no true proof of any religion. Nothing that is (I guess you could say) scientifically accepted.

I am fairly short, around 5' 4" but I sure would like to be taller. I also don't have a perfect smile (wish I had braces as a kid), will my teeth be straighter? I don't smoke, but if I wanted to start could I in the afterlife? Will I get to keep my tattoos?

I personally think its very discusting that they do the worst thing of all by usng this as some are present and or past ministers themselves. Shame on the GOP!
I personally feel that sometime this could lead to our own holy war here, if this kind of stuff continues.
I would love to hear back from the rest of the country if not world on this, and all your feelings towards mixing the depth of Religion so hard this time with Politics.

This needs to be addressed at the next Metting of the minds on TV for the candidates, and kicked in the mouth for good!
We all have our own personal feeling towards religion and to pick one over another and constintly talk about these beliefs is their opinions, and should not be favored over all others?

Does anyone believe that males get more privileges and rights within religion according to different quotations that found within their holy books. Almost seems that they are written for men, to be better off than women. Such examples exist within numerous religions examples include Muslim women within Islam. The womens role within Jehovah's witnesses. Womens roles within Hinduisim.....the list goes on.

Peoples opinions?

I just was wondering if this is evolution in its most basic term. And it did not happen by chance and the primeval soup was going along minding its own business. Surviving perfectly fine why did everything else follow. Oh you cant say it was chance as apparently evolution 100% is not chance

...impossible that Julius Caesar and Cleopatra cooked up the Christian religion with Cleopatra's son Jesus.
Can someone fill me in on just when Jesus was born? Year, month, day?
This will give you an idea of how accurate ancient dates and times are. The truth is the founding guys did not want you to figure anytghing out. So they confused the Jesus issue.

Do you think most, if not all organised religions, have different levels or hierarchies of people. Examples include the Pope within christianity, rabbis within Judaism.

Would religion, be better off if all members were equal and had no specific roles?

I'm looking to purchase a new Bible that has explanations/footnotes about the meaning of the scripture and illustrations/pictures/maps of the areas and people. My cousin recommended the Zondervan NIV Study Bible. Is this a good Bible or should I look for something else?

When you get to Heaven, will you be chillin with little Angel Blastocys and little Angel Embryos floating by you and stuff? Or do they automatically turn into grown up people?

Considering that 40% of modern pregnancies end in miscarriage, and it must have been worse back in the day, almost half of Heaven must be populated with babies who were never born.

Like, are there soccer games between the angel embryo team and the angel fetus team? Do they wear gowns like normal angels?

Also, what about all those dead people that got out of their graves, and walked into town, and were walking up to people on the street and saying "Hey, it's me !" ?

It's in Matthew 27:53 And if you can correlate it or add details that will help.

I thank you in advance for your replies.

Many Times Christians post passages from the Quran on war and say that Islam is not valid because of them because of the violence. Christians say Muhammad cannot be a prophet because he fought in wars and killed people, they say Jesus never killed anyone nor harmed any one, and that their God is loving and not a killer. Are these comments true? The simple answer is no, in this article I will quote several verses from the Bible showing the brutal terror found in it, I will be quoting from the OT. Christians should have no problem with it, since its the same Godso hence if the God of the OT said kill then it means Jesus said kill because he has no God. So Christians have no way out of this mess.




Deuteronomy
Chapter 2


32-37

And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land. 32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz. 33 And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people. 34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain. 36 From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all unto us



So Moses and his army killed women and children. Moses broke the 6th commmandment, thou shall not kill ANYONE. Or I see, when its in war it okay? Yet when Muslims say the 6th commandment is followed, but in war its different, Christians say nooooo. Either way, The Quran does not say kill women and children, I CHALLENGE ANY CHRISTIAN TO BRING THE VERSE RIGHT NOW. We see it in your Bible, one of your greatest prophets killing women and children by God's permission, meaning Jesus allowed it! So hence Jesus was responsible for killing women and children, and so was Moses so according to the Christians own argument, Moses cannot be a prophet since he killed. Note Moses and his army did this to many cities, verse 37 says there was not one city which was strong enough in the plural sense, hence up to 6 or 7 cities were destroyed with its women and children? What is the Christian response?


Deuteronomy
Chapter 3


1-7

1 Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei. 2 And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon. 3 So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining. 4 And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 5 All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many. 6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city. 7 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves



Notice the killing spree, scores of cities were raided by Moses and his army by the permission of JESUS, and they killed women and children! What does the Christian have to say to this?
