Quote (Ed J @ Sep. 11 2012,00:59)Hi BD,Islam is abusive to human rights as it condones slavery and is abusive to the desires of women. (see Daniel 11:37)The same could be said of Christianity and the bible.  (See Leviticus 25:45-46 and 1 Corinthians 14:34.)

Quote (bodhitharta @ Sep. 11 2012,10:01)First of all I did answer your question but you did not tell me what you think of the Biblical verse that condones it.The bible is no better than the Koran.  What difference does it make what either one of them says about ethical matters?Quote There is no such shame on me and you haveyet to prove anything…[Read more]

Quote (bodhitharta @ Sep. 11 2012,00:28)There is nothing to condone or condemn the fact is it is not forbidden in the Bible and in-fact the Bible suggests it is fine.Numbers 31:18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. This is not in the Quran so you see any true BIBLE BELIEVER cannot…[Read more]

Princess,Bodhitharta is only interested in defending what the Koran teaches, so the idea of role-reversal will go right over his head.  He can only see as far as his Koran will allow him.  Unfortunately for him, that means his worldview is stuck in the 15th century.

bodhitharta,For the record, are you condoning child marriage as a reasonable practice in this day and age?

Devolution,You say:Quote Having lost her virginity, she would have been deemed undesirable for marriage—and in the culture of the day, a woman without a father or husband to provide for her would be subject to a life of abject poverty, destitution, and social ostracism.That's odd.  Then why did “Moses” see it necessary to include the following la…[Read more]

Ed,Nobody came to my house either.Listen.  The bottom line is that the more I dug into scripture, the more it revealed itself not to be true.  It's the exact opposite of what I was expecting when I started my search.  I had been taught my whole life that the bible was holy, just and true, but when I actually studied it – with no preconceptions ab…[Read more]

Stu,If you really want be scientific about it, you should compile a list of all of the plausible gods – I know, I know   – and then call out to each one of them.  Then, you could keep a running tabulation on which ones get back to you and when.  This could be groundbreaking stuff!I can imagine the headlines now:“Scientists Finally Determines Wh…[Read more]
