Interesting discussion but the answer is quite obvious. Religion is that important to religious people and not important to non-religious people. As for me personally, religion in the sense of different rules and regulations people live by is not important but religion in the sense of a persons fait...
Looking at this from a religious point of view, in my opinion God is not offended by nudity. Adam and Eve were created naked, they started wearing clothes when sin entered into the world and with it the knowledge of good and evil. God is offended by lust (outside of marriage) which due to our own si...
Actually, it is the non-Muslims that focus on Muslim women and what they wear (in my opinion). Indeed non-Muslims do focus on what muslim women wear because it is obvious that for some it is different to non-Muslims whereas that is not the case with men. But I stand by what I said initially when I ...
Thanks for your replies Shafique, you have given me a better perspective to consider things. I guess where I am coming from is the fact that I have lived with Muslim guys the past 5 years and have not seen love and respect for women (except me). Instead I see them lying to them, using them and disca...
Strawberries you sound like one paranoid, uninformed, fixated, and extremely judgmental individual. Well duh!!! Are you just now realizing this? Seriously, is this something that a grown woman just realized now? Damn. You must be a really late mental bloomer. No wait, you have it against Catholics ...
It is claimed that Islam is a "complete" religion, I'm wondering what exactly this means. Is it due to the Islamic law making it a complete way of life? Also with regards to the Islamic law, what is judged and punished here on earth compared to after life here? What are opinions on heaven ...
Hi are there any physiotherapists here that can give me some advice? I have graduated from New Zealand with a 4 year degree and have 2 years hospital experience. I'm currently trying to decide whether to specialise in Respiratory or move into private practice. I entered into physiotherapy expecting ...
Hi, I'm a physiotherapist just beginning to look for work in Dubai. I've got a good idea of what to expect in a hospital setting but I'm struggling to find information on private practices. Can anyone tell me the best way to find a job in a private practice? At the moment I'm not in the country. Als...
I think it is an interesting question. I'm not Muslim but I have lived with Muslims the past 5 years and it used to really annoy me that they wouldn't follow Islam but still called themselves Muslim but then I realized that this is the case with people of all religions and I myself am guilty of it a...
At least you agree that the quotes you requested are from the Bible and also agree therefore that the Bible advocates the killings of innocents, non-believers etc. Actually the first thing I thought when I read your post was "ignorance". I can't really blame you though because alot of peo...
However, the quotes were only provided by myself after ebonics repeatedly asked me to show Biblical references advocating killings etc. As I said none of your quotes advocate us to go out and kill people He had quoted the Quran out of context Doesnt feel that great does it I pointed out that the Bi...
Quote: I pointed out that the Bible could actually furnish unambigious calls for violence. So you could read one sentence of a chapter book and understand without a doubt exactly/unambugiously what it is talking about? Its like overhearing half a conversation... can end up quite misleading! No - di...
In other words, in the past war crimes were committed and now God is 'reformed' and would never now condone killings of innocents and livestock by humans. No thats not what I said at all. In the Old Testament Gods law on earth was suppose to be followed and when it wasn't punishment happened and ye...
Seriously Apple Pie you are not doing yourself or anyone else any favours by falsely translating the Koran. Better to go spend your time reading your Bible instead.
Many verses of the Bible make reference to the "three day and three night" prophesy (Matthew 20:19...etc.). Christian scholars themselves make mention of several cases throughout the Bible where people have put words in Jesus' mouth (see chapter two). Haven't heard of these "christia...
