    Earth as spread out, that doesn't mean it is flat. Those verses reflect geography, not the shape. There are other verses in the Quran that specifically state that the earth is egg shaped.

    I just can't understand how people try to word-play with scriptures to suit their own agendas.

    Peace,

    I can't be the only one who sees the irony here.

    I would say that it is fairly hypocritical.

    Dude, chill.. I quoted the EXACT spelling that "mohemedd" posted. I've seen it and numerous items spelled several different ways. If I wanted to be offensive I would have said, "that silly POS excuse for a book".

    You need to grow up, step back and calm down, else your time here will short.

    I've not posted any hate sites or anything that "bashes" Islam. If you take offense to reality, there's really nothing I can do but pray some day you get well.

    I'm not one to agree with Mia on much. But reading this thread and his responses to some of the ridiculously unwarranted attacks on him, I have to say... couldn't have said it better myself.

    It takes a really closed mind to see Mia's posts as attacks on Islam. (or at least a mind truly crippled by religion)

    I've stated several times here and elsewhere that as of late it really seems that if you disagree with Obama, you're racist. If you are hetero, and live a hetero lifestyle, you are a bigot. And last but not least, if you have a differing opinion with a religion or are "Christian", you are intolerant.

    Its getting harder and harder to have an opinion without fear of being ostracized. No wonder so many people have folded, changed their beliefs, and compromised their integrity.

    So basicly when you claim that someone is retarded because he believes in something isn't attack? So what is it? Criticism?
    Hey! You are retarded because you believe in things that I find funny! :rolleyes:
    I added smiley at the end so that should make it ok.
    Btw I am Roman Catholic and I don't recall being retarded prior to 1996.

    And ,on the other hand, the likes of you will last here forever, right? :rolleyes:

    Don't tell me, your hate posts are jsut criticism! :rolleyes:

    You seriously dislike my post? It was simply a parody of yours, and backing your point, if I understood your post correctly. Also a quote from Taladega Nights.

    No, your posts is ok. You said 'with all due respect' so that makes it ok :D
    But point is that those kind of posts doesn't belongs here and point is proven.

    11 years and counting.. Been here since 1998. Back then this forum was a mailing list, and had no P/R either.

    Yes, you do post a lot of crap, but posters like you are always short lived.

    That's the normal thing around here. Likes of you can posts crap all day long, likes of you can abuse rep system all they long (how immature is that!), likes of you can insult everyone and everyones beliefs but how dare someone outside to try to do the same thing! Outrage! :eek:
    OMFG! I won't last long on fucking internet forum! OMFG! My life is over! This is the end, my only friend! :rolleyes:
    Seriously, how immature you have to be to abuse rep system?

    LOL! the youtube video is so funny I couldn't stop laughing. This is so remarkable i'm speachless.

    Lemon: Until 400 years ago, the church also refuted the idea that the earth is not flat. In judaism it didn't ever matter, luckily :)

    The jewish bible (old testament), the christian bible (new testament), and the quran are NOT scientific books.

    These books were written by people who lived and died more than 1000 years before the foundations and philosophy of science were established. The scientific knowledge of the smartest person of that time, was less than today's average western junior highschool pupil.

    Looking for any interaction, similarity, consistence, between these two most extremely different and unrelated doctrines, is one of the most stupid things people can do - and yet I hear such things every day, everywhere. (i.e. this thread, posts 1 and 5)
