		<description>i am a 20-year-old girl. I run into this page unexpectedly. When i was reading the comments i was so surprised to find how religion is so capable of starting argument. My family is catholic, my best friend is atheist and my husband is christian. I dont care if my president is muslim or buddhist or christian or gay or straight. If oprah supports him, if fidel castro supports him, if joe the plumber supports him. All i care about is that i see a bright future ahead of us. God is not running this country. Is us. We can pray all we want and another katrina will happen. God gave us the freedom to do as we please. And how do anyone interprets someone who says you&#039;re dirty when on your period? Or kill children that make fun of bald men? Do we ignore those parts and only read the good ones? What about marrying the man that rape you? The bible does not run the world. Its us. I believe in the lord. But i also believe in a change. If we were to live by the church again we&#039;d go back to the inquisition! No thank you.</description>

		<description>WOW!!  I have for 2 days sat back and read all of these so called literate people crucify this person, Nita.  

She told ALL of you from the start that she was asking questions.  She also told each of you she found what a person of the Muslim faith had written about some of the passages.  She ain&#039;t took nothin out of context as far as I could see.  She just told you all what she had seen and heard and expressed concerns.  And the way another cut her down bein a teacher, now that was low.  Hav you ever been in a room of 18 kindergarten youngins runnin around for a day.  By George that will give you so kinda faith if you ain&#039;t got one already.  Now the way I see it, you all are hypocrites, except for nbr and maybe one more.  Now that person showed some tact.  She actually answered some of her concerns!!  Each of the others, so called non-prejudice oh my someone gave an opinion do-gooders, clobbered her then turned around and gave her their beliefs and nasty comments.  Some of you act as though her way is not the right way and yours is only.  Are you saying she can&#039;t come on this site, but all of you can and you think you are any better?!  Well this ol veteran says BULL HOCKEY!!!  

I think before you start stabbing at some person that seems to be a decent and concerned person, you need to take a good look a yourself and judge what you see in the mirror every morning before ya start on someone else.

I myself have served my time so I have a right to say I get firing mad when you say things like you know what you are talking about.  You don&#039;t know doodly!!  I have seen more than any of you wet behind the ears blow hards!!  

To that Lorna person, you go ahead and frisk&#039;em honey!  Might be something you been wanting to do anyway!  That Nita told you to begin with she don&#039;t know no one of that faith and she ain&#039;t said nothin to cut one down.  She told you that!! And if you could read before your mouth shot off you would have knowd it.  But you go ahead and have that lunch and drink of coke that will eat the crap out of a toilet in two days!  Then you tell how you were chewed up and spit out by this ol&#039; man! 

Oh yea, to the person that kept talkin how Obama would be better!  Better read some more yo sel.  One of his big supporters through all of this was the KKK themselves.  So eat that salad while drinking the coke.</description>

		<description>Hi Nita,

Do you know any Muslims personally? If you do, you&#039;d know, simply by virtue of the fact that you are still alive and breathing, that they don&#039;t actually believe in killing non-Muslims. I am very good friends with a Muslim. His wife converted to Islam 10 years ago. They are decent, normal people. They have, as far as I know, hatched no plot to kill me and my husband and daughter in our sleep. Every religion has fringe elements and people who abuse it for their own ends. Islam has them. So does Christianity. Perhaps before you start writing about a faith you clearly know nothing about, you should go out and meet a few actual Muslims and see what they actually believe and how they actually behave. If you survive the encounter, you&#039;ll have your answer about whether they believe in killing people like you who don&#039;t share their faith. They don&#039;t. Trust me. I survived an encounter with several of them and am still here. In fact, I&#039;ll be lunching with my Muslim buddy downtown Chicago in a few days. I&#039;ll tell him you said &quot;Hi.&quot; But maybe, just to be safe, before I sit down to my salad and coke, I should frisk him first. You think?</description>

		<description>Nita, Qur&#039;an is many orders of magnitude more complex to study than the Bible. In general you cannot lift passages out of it like you did because the chances are that they&#039;ve been over turned by another passage somewhere else or are not applicable for other reasons. So unless you&#039;re willing to dedicate years or decades to study the book (and other texts) you&#039;re better off just leaving it alone.

The point of Islam being a &quot;religion of peace&quot; was raised here, and is often raised by politicians. And it is true, Islam is a religion of peace. However, people unfamiliar with the faith, understandably, misinterpret what this means. It is the duty of every Muslim to work towards world peace. According to Islam, world peace can only exist when all the people of the world have either converted to Islam, agreed to be ruled by Muslims (and to pay extra taxes) or died.

Of course, the range of belief you see among people calling themselves Muslims is pretty much the same as among Christians. You have the radicals who&#039;s views are just as nutty as the views of fundamentalist Christians and you have the silent majority who are believers only in name. I studied with many Muslims, I&#039;ve had Muslim friends, and just today I sat in a meeting with a Muslim and will do so tomorrow too. Muslims are humans just like Christians, Jews or atheists. The defining factor is the depth of belief - whether the object is the Christian God, Jewish God, or Allah makes no real difference.</description>

		<description>Shanika:

God will be very proud of Veggie. But Veggie (with the lifestyle he or she is living) is looking after his universe and his creatures---by not eating them!

Why don&#039;t you read YOUR bible! Remember, we (Adam and Eve) ate plants in the beginning...We were also naked. Something I wouldn&#039;t mind keeping versus uncomfortable work cloths I am forced to put on every day...</description>

		<description>Nita of a thousand names: What the Science Commenter is trying to point out is that for every Q&#039;ran verse you want to trot out about how &quot;bad&quot; Islam is, one can trot out stuff from the Bible that&#039;s equally crappy.  And the point is moot because Obama identifies as Christian.  And yes, I say &quot;identifies&quot; as religion is a lifestyle choice, and I identify as agnostic.  see?

But this is not about the bible, any religious text, or how a president-elect identifies himself religiously.  Oprah is happy about the results of the presidential election, and I can guess why.</description>

		<description>When I read your comment, I was not surprised the way you responded.  I feel sorry for you!  If you are the responder to this webpage or company, I feel sorry for the company.  Since the conversation started, you have not clearly answered the questions except on a very negative and demeaning way.  You have taken a stab at the BIBLE in a way that shows you have not been taught its contents properly nor have you been taught manners.  Your company should be ashamed of your actions.  You have responed in an iappropriate and condescending manner.  Even a Muslim would not tolerate such a assault toward their written documents and should be appalled.  I wrote thinking maybe with the comments from Opray you could provide some answers, not blast the Christian faith. 

But I can see you are not dignified enough to handle such a challenge.  All you know to do is treat the questions with obnoxious and repulsive words.  This shows you are not part of the solution!  YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM!  AND YES, COMPARED TO YOU I AM BRILLIANT!</description>

		<description>Nita:

So brilliant that you believe the meaning of a relgious text word for word. I&#039;m sure all Muslims take this seriously as well.

Similarly, you should take verses from the Christian Bible word for word. For example:

1. 1 corinthians 14:34-35 &quot;Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.&quot;
----Be quiet, annoying woman. (in the Church and on this site)

2. 1 Cor. 11:7&quot;A man is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.&quot; 
---See, you really are inferior compared to your husband, anyway.

3.  1 Tim. 2:12-14 &quot;I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man.&quot; 
---Hope you don&#039;t plan to teach high school, cause when your male students turn 18...

4. Leviticus 15:19 A woman who is menstruating is unclean. Anyone who touches her is unclean. 
---Eww. Stay away from me, dirty period girl.

See the point?</description>
