demonic presence Posted August 14, 2006 #2 Share Posted August 14, 2006 i really didnt think the other topic was offensive though, but i agree people need to know more about a religion before they go about judging it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imaginary Friend Posted August 14, 2006 #4 Share Posted August 14, 2006 You said in the former thread, now closed , according to Islam everyone is born a muslim. (link) Fascinating thing about that assertion is that Islam is the third populus faith on Earth, and yet it was "founded" in 622 CE by Muhammad the Prophet (peace be upon him). So then, if everyone is born a Muslim because it is a natural faith why does Islam need and indeed boast, so many prophets!? If it's an inherent faith we do not need speakers to interpret gods truth to and for us. And not to mention those that would slaughter their own fellow believers, so as to get the word out to the world that Allah is god and terrorism is the vehicle by which many wish to impart that "truth"! Isn't it fascinating that monotheism, in it's many guises, holds one thing in common with those seemingly different philosophies under the one banner of god; slaughter in it's name! What a pathetic testament that mortal flesh paints it's ideal of heaven with blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivytheplant Posted August 14, 2006 #8 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Besides, there's plenty of Abrahamic practitioners that also resent the bloodshed and aren't all that thrilled about it still being practiced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the remark was made toward the institution The point being is that Deism has no institution, no dogma, no organized congregations, scriptures, nothing but a belief in a SINGLE Creator!

Bella-Angelique Posted August 14, 2006 #13 Share Posted August 14, 2006 If everyone is born a moslem then according to Sharia all those who do not practice Islam as their religion have left the faith and must all be killed. Correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct? Though what about people who were raised in a different religion and never knew they were supposed to be practicing Islam. Is there any leniency in that or are they just screwed? Cause that's kind of unfair, I'd think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you Deist bashing? Deism - de·ism ( P ) Pronunciation Key (dzm, d-) n. The belief, based solely on reason, in a God who created the universe and then abandoned it, assuming no control over life, exerting no influence on natural phenomena, and giving no supernatural revelation. Monotheism - mon·o·the·ism ( P ) Pronunciation Key (mn-th-zm) n. The doctrine or belief that there is only one God. It is your privilege to resent the remark.

MadMachine Posted August 15, 2006 #20 Share Posted August 15, 2006 You can't tell me what I should fear, Icarus. You have no proof that god created anything, and if god could destroy anything at will, there would be a heck of a lot less skeptics in the world. You may say it's part of his divine "plan" beyond any mortal's understanding to let us live 'til judgement day, but if that's true, he must have a really sick sense of humor.

Notice each one has only one god...Monotheism is not an institution,it is a belief....Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism are instituitions..I think you are deliberately Deist bashing!
