the marriage is an important indicator of his character. If he can talk **** about my sexual activities then his are fair game as well. so why hasn't he done it again? San Fransisco is still standing. Greenwich Village hasn't been razed. Fire Island hasn't literally burst into flames. Maybe God has mellowed out. Maybe he doesn't care anymore? everyone here words their posts to sway it in their direction. what's unethical was your disclaimer at the beginning of this thread and then proceeding to attack atheism 35 minutes later.
fine westerners yes i do realize the difference, i also realize that both ages are young, and my cousins engagement was arranged to which she had previously agreed.
plus its the law of the land, get over it, i dont see you fighting for the muslims/jews who wont be allowed to wear headscarves, and skullcaps. its the rule of their country, AMERICANS on the other hand impose their opinions on people that dont even live in their country, thats the sad part, atleast the taliban did it in their own boundry, if those people had a problem, leave, heck come to america, they seem glad to accept people being oppressed in other countries, ( o wait the same americans that sent back ships with persecuted jews during the holocost)
dude thats like saying, why hasnt god sent down another prophet, or why hasnt he flooded the world again, or why hasnt he split the ocean again, its his will. plus extreme cases require extremem measures, maybe san fran, GV pale in comparison to what happened back when the city was demolished.
well I never read anything about Sodom having 4000 same sex marriage ceremonies endorsed and performed by the town leaders. If that's not extreme enough to get his attention then what is?
in that case maybe it's not such a good example for your side to use. got any other Scared Straight stories?
What the hell has Joseph Smith proven? Because none of them believe in one indestructeable being. I'm reffering to the atheists of ancient Arabia btw. No, it's not the same thing. Not if the "slave" is perfectly fine with it. You can't hold slaves captive. It's the equivalent of getting a babysitter for your children - same rules apply. Slave trade was common around the world. It has nothing to do with religion. Once people realized it's wrong, it was over. You are depicting the word slave in a false manner, and I pointed that out before. Slave is a bad translation for an Arabic word, that's all. You are not allowed to have slaves the way YOU are portraying. Please consider this in your future arguments.
- He was relaying God's message. Your choice of words in the previously mentioned post is an important indicator of YOUR character as well btw. - The final warning is the Qura'an. No more signs till judgement day nears. Maybe you just don't know very much about Islam? - I don't, and whenever someone does, I call them out on it. Just because everyone does it, doesn't make it right.
My intention is not to offend. Ofcourse, they will be offensive, but the intention is not just to attack other religions. I read an article and decided to share it. You followed up by immediately attacking terrorists ratehr than the issue at hand.
though most religions are against homosexuality, islam seems to be the only one that condones killing them for it. didnt god say "thou shall not kill"? murder is bad enough, but i really dont think he likes anyone killing in his name. another big difference b/t islam and christianity - christians dont generally use god as an excuse to kill.
sane himself tells me that it happens in islamic countries. does it not? sane thinks that killing people for being gay is justified. dont most islamic countries have the death penalty in place for homosexuality?
they have the death penalty in place to prevent homosexuality, thats why no homosexual goes to a muslim country.... and again the crusades were the biggest wars in the name of religion.
What the hell has Muhammad proven? if slavery is such a good thing as you claim then why did they make it illegal? you say it's over but you ignore that slavery still exists today in Muslim countries and it's not the happy image you portray it to be
if a relligion/country is against something, shouldnt there be a punishment to prevent it, i guess in othe religions they are just hypocrytical, they say that it aint allowed, but wont do anything to prevent it. yes god said thou shalt not kill, but again TAKE IT IN CONTEXT, if someone say murders someone, his punishment is death. OR are you saying that even though he has murdered someone he should just be jailed because god said thou shall not kill?
Having read this three times, I am trying to figure out how someone of your stature is entrusted with this knowledge. Do all the homosexuals that don't go to a muslim country tell you, before they don't go...? Do the muslim countries register all the homosexuals that don't go there and then submit the audit to you so that can verify there are no gays over there...? Sort of. Personally, I'm against the death penalty, but not because I think it makes Jesus cry. I dislike the idea of the state taking a life as punishment.
attacking terrorists. such a horrible thing to do. I wouldn't have even had brought it up if you yourself had stayed with the issue at hand (see the thread title) instead of attacking atheism. If you knew if was offensive and you decided to post it anyway (without even citing the article source because you admit it sucks) then it doesn't matter what your intention was.
slavery also occurs in india, baangladesh, srilanka, pakistan, china, etc etc. the difference is that in ISLAM slavery = servants, you pay them, you give them the same food oyu eat, same clothes you wear, and same shelter you have. not exactly the same image of african slaves in America. plus the rewards of freeing slaves is numerous. Bilal was a slave during Mohammad (pbuh)'s time, and he was tortured for being black and a muslim, guess what the muslims did, they freed him. paid tons of money for his freedom. and thats what usually went on in ISLAM
