Can We Have a Respectful Discussion on Religion?

[Robby999 1,024]

Yes, as long as no one brings up religion!

[Calypso 464]

Is it true that if you eat cows, you come back in the next life as a dairy farmer?

No. The truth is you'll come back as a sheepshagger.

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Why do people kill in the name of God?

Good question. I don't think any of the major religions endorse it. Some fundamentalists might misconstrue scripture to suggest that God would want them to go out and kill in His name, but that is a stretch.

A question to Muslims: Why is Mohammad the only prophet?

I thought Christ was considered a profit too? Who said Mohammed was the only profit?

[BaBamSam 239]

Are you using "profit" instead of "prophet" ironically?

A question to Muslims: Why is Mohammad the only prophet?

We have loads of prophets, peace be upon them.

Jonah, Job, David, Solomon. And many, many more.

Mohammad is the final prophet, in Islam.

I thought Christ was considered a profit too? Who said Mohammed was the only profit?

Christ is a huge profit to those who market him. It's all tax-exempt too!

Jesus is considered a prophet in Islam.

[GandD 5,966]

Are you using "profit" instead of "prophet" ironically?

Ha, that was an accident. Both do seem pretty profitable though.

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

How come when a "prophet" creates a new religion, or denomination, that prophet is always the "final prophet" for that group? If God keeps sending prophets to guide us back to the true path, why would any religion assume they got it right this time?

I thought you were a Muslim. Those are Bible Prophet names.

[Golden Gate 530]

I thought you were a Muslim. Those are Bible Prophet names.

Yes, that is because Mohammed (PBUH) is a descendant of Abraham (PBUH) by his first son and Jesus (PBUH) is descended from his second son. People of Islam, Judaism and Christianity are all people of the book.

[We Keep Receipts 9,238]

I thought you were a Muslim. Those are Bible Prophet names.

There is a lot of stories in the Quran that also reflect in the bible.

[decocker 7,198]

Why do people kill in the name of God?

why do people do anything in the name of god?

[sandinista! 1,816]

I thought you were a Muslim. Those are Bible Prophet names.

Because if I rattled off their names in Arabic, Yunus, Ayoub, Dawud, and Sulueiman, fewer people would have known who I was referring to.

Ah, ok. Thank you. Why are there no other prophets after Mohammad and what events or circumstances made his prophecy the final word?
