Warning: I do not support this

I do not support this question in any way. I do not condone killing or murder of any kind. But I have been thinking about the situation with Islaam and Arabs, and an interesting question popped up:


God commanded the Hebrews/Jews to kill the Canaanites (etc), so why can't God (Allaah) command the Muslims, in 2001-2005, to kill whoever is deemed to die?


This is merely a question; again, I do not support the killing or murder of anyone by anyone (and neither should you, the reader); but it is an interesting question.


(note: if the staff of ATS think this thread should be pulled, this is perfectly understandable and fine, Edward)

God made no such commands.


People lied about it so they could rationalize the killings.

is that all religion is a falicy. It is used to keep people under control.

If you review most wars throughout history you will see that the culprit is religious ideologies.

If this world could now possibly live without religion and went scientific then amazing things would happen.

God tells about half the serial killers to do it too, but does it make it alright?

I dont give a crap WHICH God told WHO to kill WHOEVER.

I just hope they warned them I shot back

It's all semantics. Kill a few people one at a time and it's murder. Kill hundreds, or thousands at a time and it's war.

When you speak to God....its prayer

When God speaks to you......its schizophrenia

BULLSEYE.. RELIGION is nothing.

Religion is like your spirit... soul.... mental ability witt and all that.
Its nothign but electrons in your brain causing certian emotions....

thousands upon thousands of years ago, when man was first evoloving and he couldnt understand a plant from water... something popped into his head about a creator a maker..
and boom religion was born.

ITs the finatics that use it as justification to murder people.

IF there was such a GOD... someone that created life, cherished love and caring nature... regardless of material rights, land value or revenge.. he wouldnt even condone killing.

Finatical Muslims dont have the ability to think like most people.
They see that death is the answer, and everything else is done for there god.

thats plain wrong.

I believe people lie about their faith/beliefs/religions in order to rationalize their behaviors and actions, to a degree.
