Woah. That's far too many. Some of them are good questions though.
Pick any question you'd like answered or are curious about. Are you muslim?
Thanks. Smile

Yeah a lot of questions. I didn't read them so can't really suggest any favorites. I'm not a Muslim but we have several members who are Smile

Yes. How can you possibly believe that silly, contradictory, misogynistic crap?
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

If the quran is so important why did god not reveal the quran to the entire world?


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

As a bisexual person, how am I to be treated in the temporal world according to the Qu'ran? Christians tend to be rather unenthusiastic about the whole thing.
If you believe it, question it. If you question it, get an answer. If you have an answer, does that answer satisfy reality? Does it satisfy you? Probably not. For no one else will agree with you, not really.

RE: Any questions on Islam?

I've been told (by a not so reliable authoritative source), that the disagreement between Muslims and Jews stems from the Biblical story of Abraham where Abraham's son with Hagar was expelled and replaced by Sarah's son as rightful heir. Thus Hagar's line of people were disinherited and the Quran is an illigitimate claim that they created to whatever it was the Jews supposedly inherited. Thus that's why they fight.

I know full well how ridiculous this sounds as I don't understand it quite myself. Just go with itTongue
So my question is, how would I argue against this person as to the real reason for the discourse between Muslim faith and Jewish faith?
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
