True but currently it is muslims yelling Allahu achbar God it great then killing who they consider their enemies.
Usually innocent men women and children.
When others do it I will be equally as harsh.
Way back in the dark crevices of history Christians partook in a holy war of their own against Muslims and Jews to reclaim the Holy land. Back then Jews and Muslims fought together against the Christians.
i do not believe you learned about Islam
you reject the Islam because you want to live your life as you like do you want Allah say be gay- drink alcohol-do not pray- you want to live free Allah said in quran [ And if the truth had been in accordance with their desires, verily, the heavens and the earth, and whosoever is therein would have been corrupted! Nay, We have brought them their reminder, but they turn away from their reminder]
you rejecting the true because you like the wrong.
No of course you don't because I judge Islam harshly but it is because I know what islam is like from the inside that I judge.
You along with all the other muslims cannot stand that anyone would judge your religion wrong yet I am not the only one.
I reject Islam because it is wrong and not only wrong but dangerous to this world and all non muslim people.
You are correct. I have been studying this so called religion for some time. I am now reading "They Must Be Stopped". Islam is a supremecist ideology, where there is no separation tween the religion and government. They truly believe their book is the word of their God. Not a word of it has changed in centuries. Islam cannot be treated like any other religion that we know - their goal is to dominate and subjugate. Period.
I love it when people argue about whose ancient god is the true ancient god. Be sure to include all 4,000+ which are being worshipped in this world today when all the south sea Pacific islands are included. Also...there are more than 44,000 denominations, conventions, sects, cults etc. which are variations of the new testament. Maybe god will learn that leaving his keys to the kingdom with a bunch of primitive ignorant goat herders who were trying to learn to deal with a developing imagination wasn't too smart.
Cruelty to animals. I refuse to believe that a loving God would have animals born, only to suffer at the hands of those made in his image, then die. The Churches say nothing, or something like animals are here for our benefit, to use and abuse as we see fit. Part of the free will thing. For me, that is unacceptable, so I reject religion. Reading Christopher Hitchens and the like, was a great relief to me - finally it made sense. Ah, there is no God.
On top of that, my mother and a priest, high up in the hierarchy of the Catholic church, had a long standing love affair, that they consummated in their later years. That pretty much nailed it for me.
When I was a toddler my mother and I were talking about seeing loved ones in Heaven someday, and I asked about our dog. She said animals couldn't go to Heaven because they didn't have souls. Being so young, I took her at her word but I found it outrageous. I think this sowed the first seed for me leaving the Christian church many years later.
BTW, my mother is still a devout Christian, but doesn't remember saying, or even believing that animals don't go to Heaven.

The seeds were sown when I went to church with my neighbors and learned about hell.
Luckily I had a family who made sure what I learned at the neighbors church didn't stick, but it left me at a really young age asking myself questions.
I too walked away from Christianity because of its teachings.
I was born and baptized as a roman catholic. Grew up in a very poor and improvished generational catholic neighborhood in the south bronx. I saw religion as another way to make money off of the masses. Now as a grown man I am an staunch athiest. I believe in the natural law on how our uiverse governce, evolution of life, also time and.space. Humaniyy has went from believing in many gods, to one god and some day in the distant future to no god. I respect all faiths whether if its abrahamic or dhramic.

Roman Catholic, Atheist, (Briefly explored but never practiced eastern religions), Christian, Jewish. In that order. Here's why. Born Roman Catholic, to my parents who ignore their religion. Yet, they love each other and are moral. My mom went to Harvard summer school. She does not believe. Once I turned four, I prayed and my prayer was not answered. Take in those two factors, I stopped believing. The New Testament states quite clearly that your prayer will be answered. I have never found this to be true. Cripples remain cripples, and cancer is not cured, prayer doesn't change this horrific area of life. Once I was twenty two, I was suicidal, from drugs and the love of my life who was cheating on me. I had to make a change in my life. I read the whole bible. Halfway through, by intervention of divine grace, I found a cartoon with my name on it, and a picture of a whale. Directly after reading about Jonah and the whale. (The book of Jonah is in the Old Book.) I accepted the whole bible instantly, and became Christian. Now I am twenty four. Again, prayer is not answered on earth. If it is, I prayed to believe in the one true religion. Now I am learning the Tanakh, and becoming a Jew. This is for several reasons. The percent of Jews in ivy league schools is about 22%. They make up less than 2% of the population. They score six times higher on IQ tests than any other group. As a musician, (besides Kurt Cobain) Serge Gainsbourg, Hal David and Leonard Cohen are my favorite composers. All three are Jewish. Do I think it was ethical when 70,000 people died because King David took a census? No, but then again, with eternal life, you have to understand our lives on earth have no more significance than a mosquito. Why sin seems to be far more important than both human and animal life perplexes me, but so does life itself. Atheism does not explain life at all, it fails to explain modesty, or my divine coincidence. Both Darwin and Einstein married their first cousins, so please, take what they say with a grain of salt. P.S. I watched tons of porn in high school and that caused my atheism during that time. Now I give 100% of my earnings to charity, and am much happier for it.
Born and raised in the Mormon faith. It always felt "off" and I could never pinpoint why. I remember always feeling like I had to justify my religion to all people who weren't Mormon. Then I did some research, then a little more and finally I realized that the Mormon church was a very well crafted scam. It was very sad for me because I wanted to believe what my close friends and family believed. But I couldn't look it the mirror and lie to myself any longer. Now I am happier than I ever was, I am content and at peace. I socialize at Mormon events, hang out with friends but I dont affiliate with the church on a religious level. I don't drink coffee or alcohol either so that helps keep my Mormon friends close.
Why? Because the religion I was raised in left too many questions unanswered. It just didn't make sense.
I've always been the "take it apart and see how it works" type, when I started taking apart everything I had been taught I realized it made no sense. There was no logic to the Christian religion.
