Haroon,
I believe that cultural norms are being interjected into a religious context. Christians marry one wife but that is not a strong reason for denouncing your faith. As for Nuns and Priests, their "marriage" to God is a setting aside of their physical appetites for the purpose of greater devotion to God. It is not a marriage in the sense that we humans marry.

I agree with you that it is time to find ways to live in peace with respect for our differences. Insults in either direction frustrate this possibility. As a Christian, I offer this prayer to God on our behalf...

"May Haroon be blessed with your grace and may he know that I have no ill will toward him, only the love that brothers created by the same loving God ought to have for one another."

Peace to you, friend.

First off, why don't you use punctuation to make yourself more clearly understood? That way, people would understand what you're trying to explain. Then perhaps concentrate a little bit on word order and the structure necessary for a basic English sentence.

Secondly, while it is acceptable for men to have up to 4 wives (yet women can only have one husband), most do not practice polygamy. The Qur'an says, "You will never be able to be fair and just among women (wives)...." Qur’an (4:129) Since Muslim men must be equally fair to his wives, he may not have more than one unless he can prove that he can be fair to all of them.

Why didn't you criticize the Islamic faith for the sexism that limits a woman to only one husband?

Then onto what I presume is the body of your question (although a lack of punctuation makes it hard to classify it as a question): Nuns do not marry God (whether they think they do or not), rather, they marry themselves TO God. In doing so, they seal what will undoubtedly be a celebate life and the intent is that they will use what pent up energy that is not released during sex and direct it into service toward God.

God cannot be married to anyone, he is God. No one can even look at his true form without perishing, much less have children by him. And just because people don't agree with the idea of polygamy doesn't mean that they are insulting them. There are things many people do that I may not like, but in no way means I insult them.

WOW!! i never thought of that and i have to say that's pretty funny. one difference though (and I'm sorry to bust your bubble) the nuns married to god do not have sex with god where as the Muslims have intercourse with there wives, not that i see anything wrong having more then one wife as long as you treat hem right. again i have to say that is pretty funny. do you have a lot of time on your hands or do you just like to sort out the worlds problems?

ok I think I understand. First of all, you are talking about Roman Catholicism which started adding all sorts of extrabiblical tradition to the church not long after it began. Secondly, true biblical Christianity in its purest form (evangelical conservative protestantism) doesn't forbid its leaders from marrying because to do so is a doctrine of demons from the what the apostle Paul says. Thirdly, Catholic, Christian, Muslim Hindu or whatever else one may be, we all are sinful, can't save ourselves and need God to help us. He did this by sending His own Son to take the penalty we incurred by our sin and rose again to prove it.

Well , Every religion believes in it's own way , but one must respects every religion . All are equal and GOD is One , but we call HIM by diffrerent names like GOD , ALLAH , BHAGWAN but at the end we are reffering to one and only one ALMIGHTY . So why are we all fighting for religion ??

Okay, this didn't make any sense the first time you posted it.

Second time, not a charm. I wouldn't go for three, or is it too late?

That was rambling, disjointed and incomprehensible.

Reword in English and then I'll answer.
