I'm breathing, my kids are healthy and time and time again, it never fails me. So I am fully rooted in my faith.

Allah and God, are interchangeable.
I believe that Muslims pray to the same God I do.....
The bible states they would go to hell, but that's the bible now isn't it.
As far as conflicts that arise with different faiths, do you really need elaboration?

Many of you aren't answering the question. I know what faith is, but what I'm asking is what happens when the different faiths of different people conflicts.
All this faith talk just makes me even more curious because some of you guys can't even answer the question about your own personal God, whom you so worship.
Christianity, for example, has a God who puts emphasis on not worshiping any other. So do those people who so worship another being suffer in eternal damnation?
Islam, for example, says that there is no other god but Allah. So are they essentially saying that the rest of the human race is doing the religion thing wrong?

So if the deities are interchangeable, why label the religion?
And why laugh at the bible if it lays the frame work for your faith?
Don't take this as any attempt to get at religion, I'm genuinely curious.

theres only one God. Religion is designated from cultural perspectives of this one God...Dont be confused...its up to you to find truth! Let that marinate fora bit...

Take a look at what you're asking. We CAN'T answer that question. Because we believe in aHigher Power does not mean we have all the answers about said Higher Power. That's like asking you (I assume you don't believe in ANY sort of HigherPower) if death is like being permanently alseep or not. You can't answer that.
The fact of the matter is that no one will know the answer to any of this until you die. That's about as bluntlyas I can put it.

This is why I don't believe in religions: They seperate people instead of uniting people under one GOD.
I don't believe in having to go to a man-made house in order for GOD to except me . . . I can take a walk and speak to GOD and I believe he'll hear meout.
Peace

That's the problem, Blink. Religion is man-made. That right there is why I don't like"religion."
And I'm not getting at Kix or anything, but I really wonder sometimes why people can believe some things out ofthe Bible, and laugh at others. If you believe GOD came down to earth as a Man named Jesus and died for everyone, why is it so hard to believe that Mosesparted a sea? I never got that.
It's ok that you're curious. Ask til you can't ask anymore. I answer what I can.

Because humans love labels. Differences between Judaism and Islam, I can tell you objectively there are very few.

I laugh because the bible is one of the most hypocritical texts known to man, that being said I cannot think of a more profound, and academically viable text.
Some people take the bible word for word.
I tend to think more on the rational side of things.

See, you get it.
Dudes are always criticising me for not making sense because they don't understand what I'm saying.

Well following Islam have a lot of benefits to it. But as far as why is Islam right, welllet's take a close look at it the Qur'an. The Qur'an was given to mankind about 1400 years ago and in the Qur'an they have many references toscience and technology that we are just learning today. For Example:
What has been mentioned about the big bang has already been mentioned in the Qur'an- Do the unbelievers not realize that the heaven and the earth used to be one solid mass that we exploded into existence? And from water we made allliving things. Would they believe? [21:3![0]](/styles/default/xenforo/NTemojis/alien.gif "Alien 0]")
The Light of the moon is it, its own light or areflected light? It wasn't until a couple hundred years ago that we first found out that the light from the moon is not its own light but a reflectedlight. - Most blessed is the One who placed constellations in the sky, and placed in it a lamp (a sun) having its own light, and a moon having areflected light (borrowed light). [25:61]
The world we live on we first thought it wasflat. But it wasn't until 1597 I believe that Francis Drake sailed around the world then proved it was spherical. But the Qur'an has already mentioned this - Allah made the earth egg-shaped. [79:3 Meaning it is not completely round butspherical like an egg.
The sun rotating in its own axis.- And He is the One who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon; each floating in its own orbit.[21:33]
The Universe is still being expanded. Weconstructed the sky with our hands, and we will continue to expand it. [51:47]
The water cycle is mentioned in several places inthe Qur'an in great detail. And I can go on and on plants having its own sex's male and female, mountains which keep the world from shaking, biology,zoology, embryological stages, and a bunch of other scientific facts.
So what I am trying to say is how the Qur'ancould have all these things mentioned that we are finding out recently mentioned 1400 years ago. It has to be Allah wholet us know back then, what we are finding out today.
