He gets tazered??

He gets tazered?? :p

Yeah, to the point of fault, go figure. Strange that a Christian would want to do the same.

So you would rather be Muslim?
If it were Gods job we wouldn't need free will. What tells you whether you are doing good or bad? Is it not your person? You can use a book as a reference but the moral decision is still the same.

If it's God's word how can it be at fault?

Muslims obviously believe in what they're doing.

They say the Koran is the word of God and must be followed precisely. Just what does the Bible teach?

Just what does the Bible teach?

There seems to be a few different translations.

I didn't realise the only choices were Christ or Mohammed.

It is free will to follow the rules or not, but what exactly are the rules?

They seem to change quite easily.

But if you excercise freewill against "God" you will suffer in hell. That is what Muslim extremists believe isn't it? How can you just not do it if you fear eternal damnation?

The fault comes in the interpretation. If god told you to kill me would you do it or would your moral standard stop you?

So do Christians.

I thought they were the words of Muhammid. Speaking for Allah?

Depends on interpretation.

Those are the two you used in your reference. One you make an excuse for the other you seemed in objection of.

The ones you live by everyday of your life. Some are traffic rules, some are moral rules. You make up what you are willing to live by in a social society, if it conflicts with law there is a price for it. The law is not forcing itself on you, you new the penalty for the offence.

There as easy as changing your mind. To speed or not to speed. Should i cheat on my taxes? Boy that girl looks nice, i wonder if my wife would find out? They make up the measure of the man. I don't care where you get the info just so long as you get it. Could be a bible, torah, your parents, a neighbor. It don't matter just so long as you get it. IMO

First off you have to believe in God in the first place. Do you believe you will suffer in hell if there is a God?

I don't know, Red is the resident Muslim scholar.

Your assuming there interpretation is correct. Even so if that were true how come all Muslims aren't Extreme?

Doesn't the Bible teach that morality comes from God?

Muslims believe it is the literal word of God revealed to Mohammed.

Seeing as eternal damnation may be at stake shouldn't there be a more concrete set of rules?

How do you know you're living to the correct interpretation?

Excuse for what? I just admire the Muslims dedication over the Christian equivalent. They don't try to re-write the word of God because they decide that they want to be able to eat pork, for example.

Muslims have a cast iron set of rules, the literal word of God, to base their lifestyles on.

How do you know God isn't pissed off about that?

Well, Morningstarr, I assume that you're talking about Leviticus when you say we choose our beliefs. Leviticus is the set of rules for the Levites, the Jewish priests. Obviously, while some rules therein are still relevant, there are naturally going to be parts of the Bible, especially in the Old Testament, that are geared towards life at the time it was written; for example, bans on pork (possibly more unsafe than other foods).

Why should they just stop their extreme actions if they truly believe it is God's way? Would you stop believing just because people didn't like what you were doing? Would you defy God if he told you to kill?

In regards to the rule of God, I would imagine the penalties for just changing them when you want to be quite severe. Faith in God aside, you then need faith in whoever translated the Good Book for you! Talk about a long shot of actually getting it right.

Seeing as eternal damnation may be at stake shouldn't there be a more concrete set of rules? How do you know you're living to the correct interpretation? You might be just as damned as the heathens.

No, they're assuming their interpretation is correct. As you assume your version is, as Jews assume their version is etc, etc...........

No, I mean what are the specific rules for living your life as a Christian? Muslims have a cast iron set of rules, the literal word of God, to base their lifestyles on. Christians just pick whichever parts of the Bible they see fit and forget the rest. How do you know God isn't pissed off about that?

What makes some rules more relevant than others? How are you supposed to know if you're doing Gods bidding or not? Why do some Christians have conflicting beliefs on homosexuality, for example? Will one group be refused entrance to heaven?

Oh, and also, Muslims don't follow their rules without question. They just ban the parts of the Koran that are against the usually unchanging opinion of the imams, like with the verses that may possibly,slightly, just a little bit disagree with the 'Kill, convert, or tax all infidels and oppress women' majority of verses on the subject.

Not the way i see it.

So the Koran is a book of what muhammid interpreted allahs words to be.

If i'm wrong about my faith, like you i have nothing to worry about.

I don't. How do you know?

They don't have to rewrite there book, they just behead who ever opposes it.

Then why haven't they all blown themselves up?

I don't.
