"Have this mind ... ( 2 weeks ago by unashamedevangelist)

"Have this mind among yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross... At the name of Jesus every knee should bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord..." PHILIPPIANS 2:4-11.

Religion is an ... ( 2 weeks ago by BangkokPoet)

Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.-- by Nobel Laureate physicist Steven Weinberg. Religion creates fanatics, causes wars, brainwashes children, and creates close-minded followers instead of independent thinkers. In any case, Islam is more of a fanatical brotherhood than a religion. There is No Islamaphobia; Islam is garbage.

The Quran contains ... ( 2 weeks ago by BangkokPoet)

The Quran contains 109 verses that call Muslims to war with nonbelievers. Some are quite graphic, with commands to chop off heads and fingers, and kill the infidels wherever they may be hiding. Muslims who do not join the fight are called 'hypocrites' and warned that Allah will send them to Hell if they do not join the slaughter. Unfortunately, there are very few verses of tolerance and peace to abrogate or even balance out the many that call for nonbelievers to be fought and subdued.

Mohammad poisoned ... ( 2 weeks ago by BangkokPoet)

Mohammad poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex...and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. The essence of his doctrine was violence and lust: to exalt the brutal over the spiritual part of human nature" - John Quincy Adams

Islam is the ... ( 2 weeks ago by Mhabibie)

Islam is the culprit! It is not a religion but a cult..a killing cult! Narrated ibn 'Umar: Allah's Apostle said: "i have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform a that, then they save their lives an property from me except for islamic laws" (Sahih Bukhari Book #2, Hadith #24)

If Islam were good ... ( 1 week ago by Samofakind)

If Islam were good for anything then Muslims would live in their own God-mandated bullshit monarchist countries rather than a modern, liberal secular state like America. Go back to Dar Al-Islam and the caliphate you hypocrites! Live with 'kafirs' for forty days and you're one of them!

No matter how hard ... ( 4 days ago by manoftruth888)

No matter how hard u try to give a nice image of Islam, the fact that it is a religion of sex and terrorism reveals all the truth about it. History of Muhammad is full of bloodshed and sexual lust with his many wives (1 of them 9 yrs old) and sex slaves (jawari or right-hand possessions). He is a vampire, a very very evil vampire seeking human bloodshed and deviated sexual lust.

Challenge answered: ... ( 4 days ago by manoftruth888)

Challenge answered: 1.Muhammad was sent by satan because he killed many people and committed many sexual crimes (his 9 yrs old wife and sex slaves - jawari). 2. Quran often answered Muhammad's desires including his marriage from his daughter-in-law. 3. His prophecy was validated by the power of the sword. 4. His greatest miracle was the number of people he succeeded to kill. 5+6. He was son of a whore because Abdulla was not his father because he was born 4 years after Abdulla's death!
