What they will do now is name a country which has a large population and claim all of it's citizens are muslims. they will probably go for india. it will be something like "india is a muslim country with 1 Billion in it"
Hi Jackuul, I can't see your pic. Probably hoping for the "herd mentality" effect... I think you're right, the white area is probably the fastest growing!
Why am I not surprised that someone religious makes a claim not at all true or supported by fact that they think will further their religion. Don't get me started on Islam. You suckers are way worse.
Yet another oxymoron statement ("Good job putting words in my mouth."); If this is meant as a complement, then its totally misguided; but if its meant as an accusation, it is totally and ignorantly misguided; I don't have the power, no human does, that your statement implies. This is very interesting; given the fact that I, in past threads and posts, have shown you the factual realness and/or "reality" of what you had previously and loudly proclaimed as Scriptural contradiction(s); yet here you imply that you're qualified to determine, in and from THE WORD of GOD/Scripture/"The Bible", what you believe to be "the BS story" from "reality". Now most really "smart" and wise people would think, 'Wow---what I once believed to be contradictions, have been shown to me to be NO contradictions at all. . .so I wonder if then, that which I have believed, and still believe, to be "the BS story" is, in fact, really "reality"? But if you decide to adopt that line of thinking (and wondering), please don't complement and/or accuse me of "putting words in" your "mouth", okay??? Not nearly as "amazed" as I am when I see "a grown man" not thinking, at all, coherently. Here's an example of the incoherence that I just alluded to. You don't qualify any of your premise example. Do "people" wear sunglasses because they have "bad vision"? Do "people" who wear non-corrective vision glasses have "bad vision"? If "people have bad vision because they look at porn", what caused the "bad vision" of people who wore glasses, prior to the advent of "porn"? I would roll my eyes right here, but picking your "straw man argument" apart is satisfaction enough. The same reason a crack baby is born addicted to crack; or a baby with aides is born with aides. The sin nature (the propensity to sin first and foremost before doing otherwise) is inherited by every person born of Adam and Eve, directly or indirectly (passed on to any offspring by the male parent only). You may think it to be a raw and/or dung deal, but there is THE ONLY CURE [aka JESUS CHRIST]. And just as you CANNOT do enough "good stuff" to rid yourself of an addition and/or disease, outside THE ONLY CURE, you're just stuck being a Sinner (Spiritually "dead in trespasses and sins", awaiting to become graveyard dead, and eventually, CONSCIOUSLY dead for the rest of Eternity. The reason babies go straight to Heaven instantly after becoming graveyard dead is because they don't reject THE ONLY CURE for their sin condition. You go to Hell for rejection THE ONLY CURE, not because you were born in sin. BTW, according to Scripture, ". . .people are destroyed for lack of knowledge...(Hosea 4:6)"; careful they don't put you and your rolling eyes trick right next to that passage. Now then, that eye rolling thing rolleyes ain't as sarcastic as you first thought it to be, huh?
Open your eyes it is rating on 2005 and i clearly stated that Islam is one of the biggest religion from last 2 years
Aaah, so you are now changing your statement to "one of the biggest". That is probably true, but what you originally stated was that Islam is the largest and also the most popular. That's not true. Here's your original statement: BTW, if you want to defend your original statement (which of course you can't), please back it up with credible sources. Thanks!
Whatever the numbers, there are a lot of muslims in the world that believe in their religion and they are not going away any time soon. Religions condemning other religions is not an effective tactic in the long run. The "big three religions" are monotheistic. Similarities like monotheism between the "big three religions" need to be the focus so that we can get along. That would be good for all of us.
No need to be worried i am still saying that Islam is most popular Religion you can check on DP too most discussed religion here Proud to be a Muslim
If you pay no attention to truth or facts, then it most definitely is. Here's the reality though: 1. Christianity 2. Islam 3. Secular/Atheist/Agnostic 4. Hinduism
both statements are wrong. christians are first, islam is second religion by the number of believers, but probably islam will become first one in some future. big ammounts of christians dont accept islam. christian are terrified by the islam, and its big shame for a christian to change his religiion... thats only sporadic cases. islam is growing bigger since more childrens is born in muslim countries then in christian countries. also christian countries are more developed and they starting to lose believers which becomes atheists. that will happend to islam too with the process of industrialization, human rights and country secularization. you can deny this but that will only mean that you are ignorant. future of the earth is non-believing not some organized religion. Atheism and agnosticism growth declined with the fall of communist countries, but that is only short term decline, on the long run non-believers will prevail.
While I do agree with the sentiment - we need to all find way to coexist - I'd offer an argument (though I know this is a useless argument to make). If I had to accept a global wash of religious faith for the indefinite future, man, I'd take a polytheist any day over a monotheist. The one commonality among the "Big 3" tends to be a presumption that with one God, there is one way, and one way only, to paradise. That tends to spill over into all aspects of one's life, in my experience, with the "I'm OK, you're NOT OK" all too often the weltanschauung. If we must have faith in some other party, as a species, give me a flower smelling, incense loving pagan - so long as that pagan has the attitude, "what the hell - what's one more?" in his or her pantheon of goofy divinities.
The lack of religion is more responsible in the long run, than having organizations prone to conflicts.
Nehemiah, I could keep our debate going if I wanted, and each of us could claim we are far superior to the other, but in the end we'll go nowhere. Maybe others will read it so they can decide for themselves, but I think they've seen enough to make a decision. I think deep down you have a good heart which is why you're a hardcore Christian, most are. I don't find it necessary to destroy something that you base your whole life around, I wouldn't feel any better if I did. I don't mean to make an enemy out of you or anyone I disagree with, my whole family is Christian so it's not like we have to hate each other. Really the point of this thread has to do with a change of philosophy the whole world needs to learn. People don't want to change when you condemn them for what they've done or who they are. The only way to change is to reach the soft spots of the human heart which can only come through acceptance of ourselves and everyone else. With that in mind I'd only be a hypocrite to keep such a rigid argument going.
Thank you for your candor. . .even the condescending parts; I am not your enemy; and I certainly don't consider myself to be superior to you and/or anyone here in this forum. . .or anyone anywhere else. But I'd be really amiss if I didn't point out that, on the one hand you claim, "I don't find it necessary to destroy something that you base your whole life around, I wouldn't feel any better if I did. I don't mean to make an enemy out of you or anyone I disagree with...", yet in the thread, "God doesnt exist", after stating the aforementioned, you posted the following: Wow! Do you not know, that picture (from the movie, "The Passion") is the best, and as accurate as possible, depiction of, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13)"??? In GOD'S Eye, that picture should have easily been, in reality, you and/or I. . .or anyone reading this. But GOD chose HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON to reconcile us to HIMSELF. In mankind's eye, that picture could have easily been, in reality, you and/or I. . .or anyone reading this. But JESUS CHRIST chose HIMSELF to suffer the punishment that was deserved of all mankind, in order to reconcile each one of us to our CREATOR GOD.
