Re: Does This Sound Loving?
I asked you to find love in some of those verses, you did not. I've never claimed any of these verses were loving. I even explained why they are not, and how Islamic theology doesn't require them to be. But apparently you can't read. You simply stated the "bible says bad stuff too..." Wro...

Re: Does This Sound Loving?
Where does the bible promise eternal damnation to unbelievers in "Christianity"? Doesn't the bible promise eternal life to those who believe on Christ? John 3:16 Believe in God, Jesus' status as the Son of God, the resurrection and follow the moral precepts... virtually no Christian will ...

Re: Does This Sound Loving?
Essentially: "you're wrong, but I won't bother explaining why". Sorry, that won't fly. Until you respond to my central theses, I shall take your lack of response as a concession.
But I will answer your question... no, I do not believe the Bible is the word of God.

Re: Does This Sound Loving?
I am amazed... I never thought I would live to see such astounding hypocrisy. Your argument essentially amounts to saying that it's only loving to send disbelievers in hell when your religion does it, but when any other does it, it means their god is wicked and enjoys torture and death. Anyone with ...

Re: Does This Sound Loving?
Besides, Allah never claims to be all-loving. He explicitly says that he only loves Muslims. So of course his treatment of non-Muslims is not going to sound loving. On the other hand, many Christians believe that Jehovah loves everyone. Yet one can find nearly identical passages in the Bible. If you...

Re: Does This Sound Loving?
I only skimmed quickly through these verses, and as far I can see, almost all of them have something to do with unbelievers and other sinners being doomed to eternal agony in Hell. I don't know about you, but this sounds awfully familiar to what you find in the Bible. (if you already chastise other ...

Re: Eghh makes my stomach hurt while listening to her...

This is not only illogical (because the behavior of individuals subscribing to a belief system is irrelevant as to its trut...

Re: Eghh makes my stomach hurt while listening to her...
Most atheists are rude because the general belief is that theists are less intelligent, narrow minded, angry people, which is quite far from the truth. They don't even think when they talk to us. And secondly, most atheist don't even know why they do not believe in a God, they simply don't do and s...

Re: (((Christians and Atheists)))
Raising your child in disbelief is teaching your child not to believe, love, have desire to serve, live under gods laws, or respect god, and I see that as spiritual abuse. Now I see you have 0 respect for me (your hateful comment) , or my opinions and that is fine, this will be my last comment dire...

Re: (((Christians and Atheists)))
The reason Atheism is child abuse is you are raising a child to rebel against god, now being a man of faith do think it is fair to brainwash a child to rebel and hate his loving and caring father? First, non-belief is not synonymous with "hatred" and "rebellion". Second, teachin...

Re: Christian Genocide
So when atheists say that "most wars are caused by religion", honestly they're just talking out of something or other that I won't name. Absolutely no truth to it, and yet they proudly announce it wherever they go. Can you show me where any public atheist preacher, ever, with the possible...

Re: Why is there something rather than nothing?
There have been numerous proposed answers to the Cosmological argument, some even by Christian philosophers. Do you want to be referred to literature on the topic?

Re: Now would be a good time...
I haven't read the whole Bible so I cannot comment on that. In some contexts, however, such an action might make more sense than here. For example, if God punished Israel during the pre-Jesus era to get them back to himself, that wouldn't be completely nonsensical. Since the Israelities already beli...

Re: Christianity vs. Other Religions
I've nothing against asking questions, Seraph. Noah was simply coming off as a bit militant to me with his initial post. I shouldn't have played up that poor assumption, however. So, I apologize, Noah. No problem. I apologize as well, since I did not mean that come off as militant. I will explain b...

Re: Now would be a good time...
I don't mean to offend anyone, but honestly, I find the idea that an omnipotent and omniscient God would kill thousands of people just to "attract attention" to himself both stupid and evil. Stupid, because there are far more intelligent and potent ways for an omnipotent being to attract a...
