I find it hard to believe that anyone would embrace a religion founded by a perverted child molestor. In the Christian Bible it says "It would be better for a stone to be tied around your neck and cast into the sea, than to face what God will do to you if you hurt a litle child." But apparently, according to mohamed, child rape is allowed by allah.

I am not going to answer about the 9 year old wife of the prophet Mohamed because I know nothing about it. Instead I would like to direct my opinion to AIRASAE. \n\nAirasae, this is an open public discussion and anything can be expected out of it except lewd and foul contents. Nobody is trashing or crushing anybody. If one man's truth can not be your truth just give them logical answers instead of paranoia. If some disturbing questions would rise up against Islam, every muslim would say that Islam is being crushed. Have you ever noticed the countless time Christianity have been crushed with words, thoughts and bombs. But what comes into our minds would often seek the answers to a belief different from ours. \n\nThey say Islam is a religion of peace, but look around you. Bombs here, bombs there and bombs everywhere not even the third world was spared. If western cable companies report what transpires in the muslim world, you say that they do biased reporting. Do you think respectable, world class cable TV stations stay a long time if the world will know that they are trying to do false reporting? They will be out of business in no time. \n\nIf Islam is really a religion of peace truth will surely come out and no one can ever stop it. So, why so worried, be paranoid and overprotective when you can't do anything about it because people have eyes to see, ears to hear and brains to analyze and finally decide. \n\nIf I were a muslim, the first thing I would do is to really try to understand why innocent people including women and children are being targeted. This is not Jihad, this is a crime against humanity. Just imagine the whole muslim world went crazy over a cartoon made by one dumb christian and yet nobody gets crazy over what suicide bombers are doing. How Ironic can it be?   \n\nIf christians would bomb public places with no exactly logical target but innocent people, I would voice out a loud cry to go against those who perpetrates such crime because it simply is not acceptable. I will protest against my fellow christian suicide bombers until my people will get the message and join the protest because to me they are not freedom fighters but mere criminals. Do you see why we don't have such martyrs? It is because to us they will never be martyrs nor freedom fighters nor jihad fighters because to the Christian world, it will always be a heinous crime if they will kill muslims that way and every christian soul knows that.\n\n\nTO BEYOND EVENT\n\nShould I believe because you said so? Read between the lines. If ever it really happened because you said so, then you have first hand knowledge not me. If you are a muslim, educate me for being so naive. Collateral damage was coined in the 20th century and made popular by Mr. Schwartzenegger and it was a nice movie. I just wonder what they call it during Napoleon's time.

If someone is imposing their will on yours, then you may kill that person.  That's how I understood it when I read the Satanic Bible.  The whole book seems to be very self-oriented; if anything offends you, get rid of it.  They are just as nuts as all the other religions.

i think that people who abuse children should be castrated but of course that is against their human rights but i think that it is against human rights to abuse a child. i think the same applies to all crimes and criminals. if you violate someone else's human rights than so should yours. people wouldnt be scared of this if they havent done anything wrong

I got the joke... it's not all bad.\n\nBut I don't know if it is such a good idea to joke about this. It may seem strange to us today that there should be ANY limit on free speech. But this is THE BOTTOM to push if one wish to engage a Muslim in a death dual.\n\nThe law of their religion is full of sins punishable by death. Not unlike our religion BTW. The difference is that, they still feel obligated to carry out that punishment.

I just read your last question and I think that any organisation that hides the fact there are paedophiles within it are sick. The fact that this is the Catholic Church is even worse. There are of course pedos in every walk of life, but the fact that it is the church makes it even worse. They preach to people about this and that but when it comes to themselves they cannot admit that they have a failing. They hide it so they cannot be criticized and any catholic that supports the protection of these people within the church is a hypocrite to their faith.\nHope you get my meaning and I'm not a catholic by the way!!!

Nobody is born sinful.  How in the world is a tiny little newborn a sinner?  They have committed no crime and do not have any sense of the word at all.  All a newborn knows is that it needs food a lot, it needs diapers, and it needs its parents to love it.  It needs to see its mother's face and feel comfort at her breast.  Nothing sinful about that.  The bible was messed up by the Romans and changed.  The original bible has nothing of the sort in it, and eve is not the cause of all pain either.  A person is not guilty of another person's crime, and that includes eve.  In Islam, BOTH adam and eve were at fault.  Blame is not placed specifically.  And you are told that your own actions determine whether or not you go to heaven or hell.

There is no way to rationalize that.\nAnd this is quite different than a parent spanking a child that has done something wrong.  Egypts firstborn were killed because of the Pharoah (in other words, all those other families were punished because of what their leader did).  There is no way to say that was good.  Impossible to say it was Just or Merciful or Loving.  It was downright cold-hearted.\nI am amazed at the people who try to justify these things by trying to say this God is "Good".  He must have a different definition of Good than everyone else and should have sent down a dictionary to give us these definitions.

Protecting your offspring is a very strong natural urge. Could I kill to protect my daughters? Yes, Probably before I could kill to save my own life.\n\nElizabeth, I agree with you about the perverts. I never could understand how many pedophiles actually make it to trial. If it was my child I'd hunt them down and they should pray the cops find them first because I would not let them have a quick and easy death!!

That's a very interesting question. I never thought of it that way before. The three patterns that play out with that theory do seem to fit into religions. Makes sense that it would be prevalent in their daily lives also, it's so ingrained to believe they are helpless unless they count on an outside source. Kinda twisted in away...that outside source is what will punish then for not being good enough. I'll say it again.....No child should be afraid of his/her parent.

Hi,\n\nThis sentence - which, despite some answerer's comments, is very often said - is a very valuable sentence because it gives us a lot of insight into the believer's mind. It's my belief that somebody who grows up in a very insular 'fundamentalist' house often tends not to develop an independent sense of right-and-wrong. There must be exceptions, of course, but a lot of people refrain from killing, stealing, coveting and wearing mixed fabrics not because they've ever objectively considered the right-and-wrong of these actions but merely because 'God told them not to'. 'Hell' is the equivalent of 'wait till your father gets home' - but the difference is that the latter is only applicable for children who don't have a fully-formed concept of actions and repercussions.\n\nFor somebody whose definition of 'good behaviour' is based solely on what they read in a book, it's quite logical for them to presume that an atheist would not engage in good behaviour. The unfortunate implication is that, for these people, they would freely murder, rape, steal, pillage and wear mixed fabrics if it weren't for God's decree against those actions. Furthermore, they see murder as bad not because a person's life has been lost and his/her family torn asunder but merely because the perpetrator 'sinned' against God. Would you trust such a person with your child?\n\nLastly, what objective conclusion can you draw about the morality of a person who says 'A sin is a sin - lying and killing are equal in the eyes of God'? What conclusion can you draw about the morality of a deity who would believe that?

peace to you. thank you for trying to understand. \n\nthere is no such a thing says Quran teach that it's okay to kill innocent children. and your question is little bit scaring me because that what probably many people have in mind. and i can tell from many questions here in yahoo that people are far away from understanding Islam. \n\nMuhammad(S) has strictly  women and children from being killed in the war against those who attacked Muslims unfairly. even if they are enemies Muhammad forbid killing women and children. and from many verses in the Quran it's forbid to kill those who did not fight against us and want peace with us. and many verses in the Quran that ask for forgiving and mercy. \n\nterrorists do not represent me or represent my faith. everyone will be questioned in the day of judgment on the behave he have done.

Good Lord. \nThe Old Testament was under the Law of Moses. As a christian today you should know that Jesus' death and resurrection removed us from the curse of the 'Law'. In the Old testament Israel was a fledgling nation. They were trying to seperate themselves from the 'pagans' Plus they were a lot less civilized than we are today. \nGod does not want you to kill your child, come on. If you truly believe that then you need psychological help and all your children should be removed from you care.

I wouldn't worry about the possibility of them being like Haggard, I don't believe this sort of sexual deviancy is much more common amongst christians than anyone else. But do worry about the logical circuits in your children's heads. They may get corrupted with the god delusion.

It is hypocritical i agree. it is condemnable to give capital punishment for conversion and i support their stand who were keeping tab on a 16 year old case of conversion. but I doubt if that man would have been in jail for conversion to any non christian relegion would it have attracted so much concern? \n\nmost of the organization in Afganistam  are looking out for their interests. the type of humanists you are looking for are not many and those who claim to be one do not go at such places where monetary benfits are absent and risk to their life is many fold.

After reading the Bible several times thoughtfully, I always THOUGHT whoever wrote it had it "in for us".\n\nMaybe priest molestation IS a pure form of "truth in advertizing" fot this assumption?  and then there is women doomed to childbirth in pain, so on, so on.

I wouldn't be surprised. I expect even holding hands is wrong. It seems everything is wrong in the christian religion. You cant do this,and you cant do that.
