@Armoterra - Lastly, and never in judgment, the two key scriptures that Muslims use to get Muhammad into the Holy Bible or discredit it are: John 14:16, in their attempt to say that the Bible is referring to there prophet, and in actual fact, it is referring to the Holy Spirit, the third part of the Holy Trinity; it is in writing. Second is John 10:30, where Muslims claim Jesus never claimed to be God, and He did, and it also is in plain writing. Romans 10:9 is needed by Muslims asap

@Armoterra - Muhammad, the self-proclaimed prophet, also, and supposedly, was given the way by his god (a moon god, allah), to deliver his final message to the world, which included approximately 13 lines only. That's it! Not to mention, 3 of those lines were degrading women. So the founder of our world, told his representative to deliver a final speech to the world, and it was a whole 13 lines, degrading women, and zip about life and how we were to live;;;NOT my vote.

@Armoterra - Muhammad also married 6 year old girls, consummating said marriage at the age of 9. Muhammad also partook in the beheading of innocent men; or women, point being, not the so called holy prophet that he so self-proclaimed. Islam is the only religion, globally, that is murdering others by the thousands; no, it is not a peaceful relgion. As a matter of fact it is an imperialistic system first and foremost...a religion (man made) second to serve its purposes.

@MorningwoodProductio All that being said, I'm not saying you should practice a religion, believe in a God, or have much interest in a religious text. However in the past, as a species, religion has had a hugely positive influence on us

[Rodgerinho]

@MorningwoodProductio You consider only 30% of people have an internalized moral compass and the rest need social pressure and boundaries to keep them from doing ill deeds. Then bear in mind how much the rich and powerful want to take for themselves, if we didn't have religion, if it didn't permeate society at the upper echelons, then you and I would most definitely be slaves in a totalitarian state, and human rights wouldn't even exist

[Rodgerinho]

@MorningwoodProductio The "evils" of religion? That's way too vague and extreme, cant you give a more reasonable example that objectively demonstrates your point? What exactly are you referring to? And if you look at the 10 commandments, in what way do they fall short in modern society? In actual fact religion has shaped our moral and legal compass for centuries. I'm not saying you should have a religion but it's wrong to write it off, it has influenced our civilization for the better

[MorningwoodProductio]

@Rodgerinho The evils of religions are written right into the doctrines. If one truly believes and follows their holy book they will be immoral to today's standards. These are ancient philosophies from a time where people were wild. The fact that you are on the internet right now and not hacking away at a baby's genitals or being sacrificed for Yahweh or some other bearded god is due to secular values that disregard religion. Morality evolves as does man. Doctrine does not.

@kronz21 It's widely believed that there is a multi-verse full of different possible universes. The idea is that the fact that we (thinking beings) exist in this particular universe automatically proves that the laws of this universe happen to be fit for life. There may be universes where life can not exist but there is nobody there to observe those universes. It's believed that the big bang was an interesting event in the multi-verse. Read Stephen Hawking Grand Design.

@Armoterra Bottom line, every single religion is peaceful at it's core, but unfortunately corrupt and violent people can try and manipulate religion to their benefit. If you look at South America and across Africa, there's a high christian following, and equally there is great violence and anger. You could say all Christians were violent and bad people if you were to focus on just those parts of the world. Look at muslims in the west, they're very peaceful happy people, just like the christians

[Armoterra]

@Rodgerinho If Islam is a peaceful religion, why was it founded with war and the creation of a greedy empire that conquered other countries, with its king and war hero being the very prophet worshipped today (Mohammed)?

Christianity, at least, honours Jesus Christ, a man who helped the meek and was against war, kingdoms, politics, reputation and greed. Christ believed all humans should live borderless and as a family. Mohammed created an empire and forced others to be ruled by him through war.
