Interesting Koran Quote.

So, we're gonna win....good to know...lol...


But na, I don't like "holy books", or rather the people who believe in them. This doesn't rank any higher for me than the part in the bible that makes weekly paychecks a sin...no to mention the other part that says we should stone people who "take the lords name in vain"....bs.

Praise Allah for snopes.

Yeah I got that as a Fwd: Fw: BLAH BLAH e-mail...

Nice to know it's false though, cause otherwise I would be wondering if the Koran had some credibility to it after all

Has .Ryan even read the bible?

Stoning people who break the 10 commandments? wtf. Maybe you skipped "People without  sin shall throw the first stone". Or maybe you're talking about another violent religon.

Or maybe you guys should actually read the bible if you are going to be christians. It's in Leviticus.  It specifically says to pay workmen at the end of each day.  Leviticus is great reading.

heh.   Clark: 1 Twig: 0

These laws don't necesarily apply in modern times, after Christ. I could be wrong on this though.

Well, that's a very convenient excuse brought up by modern-day christians that don't like some of the harsher Sharia-like rules of the OT.

There is a sequence in the gospels where Jesus tells the people that "it's not what goes into the mouth that makes you unclean, but what is in the mind" (my paraphrase).  This is usually the part that is pointed to as "revoking" the old kosher rules (about what you can and cannot eat).  I don't see any way, however, where that stretches to rules about paying workmen, or rules about punishment for rape, or anything else for that matter.

And, conveniently, that rule is never applied to the ten commandments, which are right next to a bunch of other rules that are casually disregarded.

Modern christians pick and choose indiscriminately from the OT, only going with what they like (like the whole "no ghey sexks" part).

At least the muslims are consistent - Sharia all the way, baby.

I gave you the book, and you want chapter and verse also?

Lev 19:13

Frankly, I don't think anybody who hasn't read the bible, cover to cover, has any right to call themselves "christian", since they cannot possibly know what they are claiming to believe in.

Call me old-fashioned, but I don't think people should say they believe in "x" when they have no idea what "x" is.

Acts 1:18.
