Christianity no longer top, Islam taking over - Page 5

Not related to anybody's point at all:

I've spent a large part of my life in Saudi Arabia which is the homeland of Islam. I myself am a Brit yet really not interested much of religion but I wouldn't say I'm an Athiest.

I have a lot of respect of Islam. Have a read of the Quran before anybody starts having proper opinions I say. Some parts of Islam can and obviously have been interpreted in different ways which leads to people who fight in the name of this religion and want to dominate others.

For all you anti-Islam people, look up The Crusades. Christian Europe basically kill huge numbers of non Christian people. It's terrorism of the past, yes, but still, it's terrorism. Who is to say that Christians aren't capable of doing this in the future.

All religions have their zealots, it's part of having a religion, it's just the timing which triggers when these people come to be.

Gah, that doesn't make much sense but I tried. :)

I also believe that everybody is entitled to their own opinion BUT only if they make it clear that this is their opinion. This is my opinion.

The prob with Islam, is as you have stated in the way that it can be interpreted. Its odd that so many are interpreting it the non peaceful way, and are fundementally not condemmed by those who are the "peaceful sort".

With that in mind, could you not compare islam to communism or faschism, eg an idealogy rather than religion.....

just my opinion ;)

Although I understand Russian language almost 90% because of its similarity to Serbian, I am not so sure I could help you for the right spelling. But, we may try.

That would be fantastic, thanks very much

Please read one of my previous comments. Religion is what allows you to sit at a computer typing this. There is NO way, with our animalistic instincts that humanity would be here today but for religion. Religion is the thing that raises us up from animals.

It is in fact the absolute opposite. Though social changes change things, it is religion which keeps us from being animals. Lets face it, societies change all the time. What is acceptable now, may be taboo in the future and vice versa. The gospels are just as relevant today as 2000 years ago. Lets face it, morals have to be based on something. If you fundementally dont belive in God, there are no consequences but what society decides is right. Our society is based on a Christian ethos. THATS why we have a ordered existence, and not a society based on animalistic instincts, which is what we are without God.

Without God we are merely entitys bound by nothing.

And you CANT prove it is false. What religious believers have is faith. Our faith is not misplaced. Maybe you are right. Maybe I will die and that is it. But thats not what I believe.

ummm, I think you missed the point. Britian was founded on its Christian ethos :), its law system reflects this as well as other areas of society.

Religion IS a higher level of thinking. Thinking of possibilities of god > thinking end is it.

Atheism all the way

Defcon555 · 04-13-2008, 03:47 AM

I respect that Sandman, and I wish you all the best. I hope that one day you will see the love of God, but until then :D have a good one :)
