So I'm doing a report on world religions for school, and looking to learn more about religions other than christianity.  So if you are any other religion, tell me a bit about it.  One liner's or write enough to try to convert me, either way. Thanks.

ISLAM:\n\n\nProfessor Armstrong works at NASA, otherwise known as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, where he is a well-known scientist there. We met with him and asked a number of questions about Quraanic verses dealing with the expertise in Astronomy. We asked him about iron and how it was formed. He explained how all the elements in the earth were formed. He stated that the scientists have come only recently to discover the relevant facts about that formation process. He said that the energy of the early solar system was not sufficient to produce elemental iron. \n\nIn calculating the energy required to form one atom of iron, it was found to be about four times as much as the energy of the entire solar system. In other words, the entire energy of the earth or the moon or the planet Mars or any other planet is not sufficient to form one new atom of iron, even the energy of the entire solar system is not sufficient for that. That is why Professor Armstrong said that the scientists believe that iron is an extraterrestrial that was sent to earth and not formed therein. \n\nWe read to him the Quraanic verse saying: «"And we sent down Iron, in which is Great might, as well as many benefits for mankind"» (Quraan 57-25). \n\nThen we asked him about the sky and whether it had any gaps or rifts in it. He disproved this and replied that what we are talking about is a branch of Astronomy called the "Integrated Cosmos" which we scientists have only come to know recently. For example, if you have a body in outer space which travels a certain distance in any direction and then travel the same distance in a different direction, you will find that the mass weight is the same in all directions. Because this body has its own equilibrium, the pressures from all directions are the same. Without this equilibrium, the whole universe would collapse. I recalled Allah’s verse in the Quraan: «"Do they not look at the sky above them? How we have made it and adorned it, and there are no flaws in it?"» (Quraan 50:6). \n\nThen we talked to Professor Armstrong about the attempts of scientists to reach the edge of the universe, and we asked him whether they were successful in this. He replied that they are fighting an uphill battle to the edge of the universe, we construct more powerful equipment to observe the universe only to discover that the new stars we see are still within our galaxy and that we have not yet reached the edge of the universe. He is aware of the Quraanic verse which says: «"And we adorned the lowest heaven with lamps and we made such (lamps) missiles to drive away Satans."» (Quraan 67:5). \n\nIndeed, all these stars are adornments for the lowest heaven. He says that scientists have not reached the end of the universe. Professor Armstrong added that because of this, they are thinking of stationing more telescopes in outer space so that their observations will not be obstructed by dust and other atmospheric impediments. Vision telescopes using light are unable to travel long distances, so we replaced them with radio operated ones enabling us to see further, but we nevertheless are still within the boundaries. I mentioned to him this verse: «"So turn thy vision again: Do you see any flaw? Again turn your vision a second time: (your) vision will come back to you dull and discomfited, in a state worn out"» (Quraan 67:3-4). \n\nEach time Professor Armstrong told us some scientific fact, we mentioned to him the relevant verse which he agreed with. Then we said to him: You have seen and discovered for your self the true nature of modern Astronomy by means of modern equipment, rockets, and space ships, developed by man. You have also seen how the same facts were mentioned by the Quraan 14 centuries ago, so what is your opinion about these? \n\nHe replied: That is a difficult question which I have been thinking about since our discussions here. I am impressed that how re

I've done research on all three.  This sounds interesting but the details of the project are slightly vague.  What aspect are you covering precisely?  Demonology, Speaking of Tongues, Existence of God, diverse religions- there are so many topics.\nI can help you if you need especially since I'm not working right now because of my pregnancy- it would certainly give me something to do.  I'm definitely creative!\nE-mail me with more details since giving an answer here is \npretty limited.

FYI I'm a Christian...if you read any history at all, religion has been around since humans became in existence.  Every culture discovered by archeologist's has had some form of a God.  From the ancient Aztecs, ancient Egyptians, and the Mesopotamians. The Majority of humans on this earth (87%) believe in one God or another...their "religion".  It is only the Atheist who do not believe in any power greater than themselves.  Pretty weird.

this is one reason why i do not believe in any form of chirstanity.  or any religion of that matter.  it is branched out to many different things, different stories and different beliefs not only from the three huge religions but the actual religion itself.  how do they believe in it, it is all in the brainwashing

"Which religion is more about peace and not supremecy."\n\nThis is a very interesting question that touches all aspects of our life.  It also speaks to power.  Meaning, what religion attempts to wield power over another?  Over a nation?  Over the entire globe?  And as you so correctly stated, over the animal kingdom?  Which would also include, the environment?\n\nIn my humble opinion, all monotheism attempts to wield power.  It is inherent in the idea that their single god is supreme.  The only one.  The greatest of the great - in that all other gods are false.  From this standpoint, tolerance for the "other" is an impossibility if the "other" does not accept the monotheism being proselytized.  And, if you accept the truth implicit in the idea that "absolute power corrupts absolutely," is it any wonder that our world, historically and currently, has suffered, is suffering, such mind boggling death and destruction, pure horror & evil, at the hands of those who so passionately believe that their god is the greatest of the great?  With this in mind...\n\nThe only religion that could possibly be tolerant and peaceful would be the one that is inclusive of all, and accepts the gods of the "other."  And does such a religion exist?\n\nIt does.  Wicca.\n\nBeing Wiccan means you not only accept the gods and goddesses of all religious pantheons but you work with them.\n\nI honestly believe this is the fundamental basis of the fear people have towards Wicca.  Wiccans are branded, falsely, of being Satan worshipers, plus a host of other misrepresentations.  This is done by those who weild religious power (read monothesim) in order to induce fear.  In order to keep their flock "in line."  If you frighten the shite out of your followers so they're terrified to even take a passing glance, you retain power over them.\n\nWicca is the most inclusive of all religious and spiritual paths.  It's also mind boggling to the vast majority because they simply cannot get their minds around the idea of accepting all relgious panteons, let alone working with them.  Consequently, the persecution and senseless death exacted against those who have the affrontary of following and working with such an all encompassing spiritual pursuit.\n\nBlessed Be.

If only. Wars used to be fought because someone didn't worship someone else's god. Then the Crusades started the trend of fighting wars because someone didn't worship God in what seemed to be to someone else the right way. Chirstians, Catholics, Muslims, these and many other religions don't worship a different God, they all worship the same God, the only difference being that they just worship God in different ways. So who's way of worshiping God is the right way to worship God? Who's to say. Each religion claims that they are right. Atheists claim that everyone is wrong. Who's to say? I personally am supposed to be a Presbiterian, but I haven't been in a church, let alone a Prebiterian one, for quite a while. I'm more spiritual than religious nowadays. I see inconsistantsees and problems with many religions, so I do what I think most people should do. I worship God not in a way told to me by man, but rather, in my own way. My God is a manifestation of my beliefs, as opposed to most people who believe, for the most part, in a God of someone else's beliefs. I too ask myself, "why can't we all have a common God?" And I am answered with, "because of our differences that, though for the better and making us all unique, is what ultimately keeps us apart." Yes, it WOULD pave the way for mankind if we all beleived in a common God, but as I stated with my very first sentence, if only. Do we need a religion for worshipping God? Some do. Most do in fact. But I don't.

I go to Beliefnet a lot. It is not tied to one religion. Here's the link.\n\nhttp://www.beliefnet.com

You know, I don't even really mind that some religions think others are wrong.  That's to be expected.  What bugs me is that most religions feel the need to convert people who don't wish to be converted.  By their very nature, a person's religious beliefs exclude all OTHER religious beliefs.\n\nThe REAL issue at stake, I think, is how we deal with that.  You and I don't have the same beliefs.  I think yours are wrong (not morally wrong, merely incorrect), and you think mine are wrong.\n\nSo what?  So we don't agree.  Big deal.  Doesn't bother me a bit.  I am perfectly okay knowing that there are other systems of belief out there that do not match my own.\n\nBut there are FAR TOO MANY people in the world that simply cannot abide that someone else out there would DARE believe something different.  And even more frightening is the number of people who would take some kind of action against "the faithless" or "the infidels" or "the unbelievers," or whatever they are calling us this week.

*Muttering for some of my better answers this last week got caught in those deletions*\nI myself am a rather strange mixture of eastern (mostly Buddhist), druidic and shamanistic beliefs. As to information sources, this one seems pretty good for a one stop comparison of most major religions including wicca. http://www.religionfacts.com

Yes, if we want to really learn about the other religion ask questions instead of bashing the other person or religion. I think is the best way to go. Ask with out insulting or cursing which is very possible to do. I know cause I've seen many questions on here that have asked very nice religious questions on here that want to learn about other religions that aren't there own.

I've never thought of it that way. I'm in between religious beliefs at the moment, but yours has given me an entirely new perspective on Christianity. Thanks for putting it out there!

I changed my faith to Hinduism from what I was brought up with, after YEARS of studying all I could about various religions, the Bible, and other Scriptures, ancient and world history, archaeology, etc.  I also "studied" myself.  I prayed a lot and came to understood that Hinduism is the religion of my soul, the religion I was when I was a child, before I was told what to believe.
