Can you prove that Allah is not the one true God?

God exists, but there is no way humans can even begin to understand the nature of God.

Allah and Jesus were great teachers, as was Buddah. Read the texts, learn the messages.

The golden rule is present in all religions. Use it. Live by it. Love it.

Peace and love.

WAR IS OVER (if you want it)

Don't blame others for problems you have created. Take responsibility for YOUR actions and how they affect others.

Don't shove YOUR reality down anyone elses throat. THEIR reality is just as VALID as yours is. THEY have the right to come up with whatever conclusions they want to come up with. If you don't like their reality, walk away.

I wouldn't be allowed to seek enlightenment under the rule of these Muslims. They proved what they thought about Buddhists after they nearly erradictated them from India.. genocide.. If Muslims had their way, they'd kill every single one of us.. BUddhists, Hindus, Jews, Christians, Taoists, Jains.. all of us.

For myself.. for my children.. for our future - I will not tolerate Muslim Fundamentalism.



---dbermand is right. A bomber takes out an abortion clinic and even Pat Robertson speaks out against it.. Muslims blow up a day care and they go dancing through the streets like animals.

Once again, you say "Muslims." It's the lunatic fringe, not all Muslims.

And, btw, it was not just Muslims who nearly eradicated Buddhism from India--it was also Hinduism, the religion of the rulers. And it was OVER A CENTURY AGO! It has been on the rise again in the past century.

You bringing it up now is akin to the Fundie Muslims who are still holding a grudge about the US being on "Holy Land" during Desert Storm. So I guess you understand their POV very well, huh?

This hatred on both sides is never going to solve ANYTHING! At some point, it has to be let go. I think anything that happened over a century ago qualifies for "letting go."

Better still, you should not tolerate any Fundamentalism.

P.S.
Taken out of context all holly writings preach violence in one form or other.
In context all preach compassion and tolerance.

You could take that post, swap "Christian" for "Muslim", and I could see someone in any Arab country posting the exact same thing.

Really, a Christian suicide bomber took out a bunch of Muslims, and Christians danced in the streets in celebration?

Was that on the news?

Must have missed that story...

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(livelychick @ Mar 16 2007, 02:45 PM) [snapback]406867[/snapback]</div>

Or several centuries ago...

Good point. At least when a Muslim bomber takes out a bunch of people, they take themselves out with it. When a Christian bomber takes out a family planning clinic (and Christians dance in the streets afterwards), he doesn't even have the conejos to blow himself up, too.

I must have missed something here, so help me out, will ya? How did we get from chatting about Prius' to battling over religious beliefs. Not that I don't have any, I just find it much more respectfull to practice my own and allow others the right to practice what works for them.

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Stev0 @ Mar 16 2007, 09:56 PM) [snapback]407163[/snapback]</div>

Well, when we're at war with Christian Fundamentalists, let me know..

Mostly true, except for the Koran. The commands of violence in that book are without context.. It just says to kill, because we are "infidels".

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(desynch @ Mar 17 2007, 02:14 PM) [snapback]407509[/snapback]</div>

We're not. They are.

They are? They don't care if you're fundamentalist or not.. you are an infidel to them. You think they would spare you because you're a non-Christian liberal? Hardly. We're all "cows" to them.

So, how did the Kool-Aide taste?

Meanwhile, in the real world, This is how Muslims see themselves ("The Qur'an calls the Jews and Christians as "People of the Book", i.e., those who received Divine scriptures before Muhammad. Muslims are told to treat them with respect and justice and do not fight with them"). Meanwhile, they this as a typical Christian website.

To them "we" are fighting this in order to support this.

Moral: propaganda works two ways.

 

COME ON STEVE... The Muslims HATE the Jews. Look at what is going on w/ Israel.. Just because some Pro-Muslim website says that Muslims "Love the Jews" doesn't make it so! If Muslims loved Jews, we wouldn't have HALF the problems we're having in the Middle East right now.

The kool aid comment is brilliant every time, use it more often since it's such a zingger..

Something about shoes fitting is an even older cliche. And the shoe is a perfect fit here.

Zap, pow, whamo!!

You're just full of really brilliant zinggers. Can we get a custom one with koolaid and shoes all in the same brilliant retort?
