Once upon a time there were 3 bears. A big daddy bear, a medium mummy bear and a small baby bear. One morning the bears had each made a bowl of poridge and were about to sit down and eat when they realised the poridge was too hot to eat now. Since they had no milk or honey Father bear suggested they go and buy some. Father bear then went and got his coin purse. Mother bear agreed with father bear and went and got her shopping trolley. Baby bear said gaga goo goo and was put into his stroller and all three left to go to the shops.

Funny isn't is?
I was arguing with a religious person the other day, me being an atheist and it was getting a little heated. Getting angry with me he said that I was like a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that wasn't there. My response was that we had a lot in common and that he too was like a blind man in a dark room seeking a black cat that also wasn't there. The difference being is that he insists............. |

No, not Islam, but those who call themselves Muslims have used the lunar calendar. True Islam is only in the Qur'an.
And other example Stoning and circumcision is a Jewish tradition and is completely non-Islamic: http://quranic.org/rajm-stoning-to-death/ And The headscarf is also out of Islam (headscarf from Christianity and judaism). Regards |

Emre, see post 93 on my thread ' what the Quran really says' Here is the opening.
The story in the quran concerning Jesus childhood, about an incident where he makes a clay bird and brings it to life is not a part of the Christian bible, and the original texts are considered apocryphal. They are regarded by Christian scholars as having been written in around 150AD, as propaganda by the early Christians, attempting to fill in the missing years of Jesus life. Dear Emre, please explain how this story got into the Quran. |

I have repeatedly responded to this nonsense of you Christian missionaries in Turkish forums. They were always silent, but they did not give up their religion because of their salary.
But example, now they know that in the Qur'an, both the Earth and the universes are geoid. Not flat. And they now know that the Koran offers a multi-universe model. You can now read your my Turkish texts with using translation sites. Peace |

Oh! and here are some of the words of your insane, sadistic, monster God in the Quran.
4.56 Those who reject our Signs, We shall soon cast into the Fire: as often as their skins are roasted through, We shall change them for fresh skins, that they may taste the penalty: for God is Exalted in Power, Wise. 22.19 These two antagonists dispute with each other about their Lord: But those who deny (their Lord),- for them will be cut out a garment of Fire: over their heads will be poured out boiling water. 22.20 With it will be scalded what is within their bodies, as well as (their) skins. 22.21 In addition there will be maces of iron (to punish) them. 22.22 Every time they wish to get away therefrom, from anguish, they will be forced back therein, and (it will be said), "Taste ye the Penalty of Burning!" 40.70 Those who deny the scripture and that wherewith we send our messengers. But they will come to know. 40.71 When yokes are about their necks and chains, they are dragged. 40.72 Through boiling waters; then they are thrust into the fire. |

Oh it gets much worse that that. Frodo may have transported the ring, but he claimed it for his very own, and according to odd Potter crankery Harry is Voldemort.
And this fanboy nonsense is exactly why all of those crank denominations of god botherers even exist in the first place. |

Quran 36.38 says the sun runs to a resting place/ stops
Pickthall And the sun runneth on unto a resting-place for him. That is the measuring of the Mighty, the Wise. Sahih Intl And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing. Yusuf Ali And the sun runs his course for a period determined for him: that is the decree of (Him), the Exalted in Might, the All-Knowing |

Burning bushes on mountains are supposed to be a reliable source. Back in the Christian OT God would hardly shut up. Then he went thru a stage were he only spoke to prophets and so on. Today he doesn't speak to anyone - not even his number one man .... the Pope. According to Islam God spoke to Mohamed big time ..... but to no-one else? Help us out here Emre ......... Mind you there are many who say God speaks to them but it's hard to check the veracity of these claims. It's interesting that so many are prepared to accept without question the words of God from 1000, 2000, 3000 or so years ago, but if some dude today claims God is talking to him he is regarded as deranged. |

In case you have not noticed, the Qurans references to the bible prophets are just that. They largely only mention the names. Its called name dropping to make you sound important by association with famous names.
But the Qurans references to bible characters have very little narrative, and detail. The bible, by comparison is lucid and clear, and has lengthy stories about the various prophets. |

Emre just posted how the Christians were silent in the Turkish forums. Well yeah, of course they are silent. They think Emre is batcrap crazy and he's preaching nonsense.
What I don't understand is just how deluded someone has to be to believe all this nonsense. Not just Islam, but every religion. Not a one of them makes any sense at all or has any evidence of any merit that their god is God. Not a one. What makes them think that Thor's hammer creating thunder is silly, but Mohamed ascending to the heavens on a winged horse is real? Or God descending from the heavens to make a Jewish girl pregnant not just with child but God himself. Or that the greatest being in the universe needs human blood? What is god, a vampire? And Jesus is a zombie? You would think smart intelligent humans by this point in their evolution could spot insanity when they heard it instead of joining in. |

Let's all pray to Vishnu to make sure that old Zeus doesn't come back as a swan to rape girls.
We need those girls for our blood sacrifice to Huitzilopochtli, or the sun won't come up. |

No. It doesn't. Evidence of a god does not come from writings in a book or personal revelation. If I told you my friend Mork had performed many miracles and he was the true prophet of God and it's in this book. He has changed many lives including mine. You wouldn't believe me.
Why? Because there is no evidence of it. So why would you believe it if it was written in a thousand year old book? |

You have to admit Scorpion has a point there about the extreme brutality described. Interesting bit of detail about the replacement of burnt skin. I have often wondered about the durability of a body being able to sustain that continual burning. We don't get that sort of detail addressed in the Christian NT. Interesting that the mention of the place of eternal punishment only gets up in the Koran and in the New Testament and not in the Old Testament. I assume Muslims do recognise the OT to some degree. The God/Allah that Muslims worship is the God of Abraham is he not? |

Well, god also demand piles of severed foreskins. To be fair, there is only so much expandable luggage one could make out of that or even need. Unlike wives, god's wardrobe must be limited. How many piles of 400 foreskins have you seen lately?
But wait, islam has 1.2 billion followers, it must be true. Odd how it is never presented as the second most behind christianity. Apparently, god created the perfect religion to be second. Because god. Or is it? Harold Camping springs to mind. Hmmm. I can't quite work out the problem. Nah. They can't work it out and it shows. |

1- I said Like the reward of the good, the punishment of evil/bad men is the result of his (Allah's) mercy, goodness and perfection.
2- According to the Qur'an, Paradise is endless. But hell can be the end because there are expressions that make you think. 3- There is no true and complete Torah. Your Old and New Testements are like hadith books. Not Real Torah or Bible. |
