Is Islam A Religion of Peace

[Dan Robinson]

No. I'm asking a simple question.

Can you answer it?

Is it moral to own, beat and kill slaves?


Yes or No?

 

[Roger928]

Now there's an easy trap to fall into.

Human society has rules of behaviour, which are sometimes called morality, to help people live together with a modicum of peace.

For example, not killing or stealing from people within your own group, not being caught committing adultery inside your own group, not eating or selling dangerous foods or materials, having a feast and celebration if you've survived the worst of a drought or a cold winter, lending a hand to people in trouble.

Religions take up these pre-existing standards in order to accommodate themselves to society. You should not fall into the trap of thinking that the religion has introduced them.

You've never heard of the ten commandments then?
They've been around since the year dot. A lot longer than you lefty loons have been in control.
Though you're starting to lose control now with the Brexit.

 

[Dan Robinson]

They've been around since the year dot.

You think society didn't function according to similar rules for thousands of years before hand?


Answer my question please.

 

[EFLImpudence]

HERE'S something new for you to contemplate Roger.

 

[JohnD]

A lot longer than you lefty loons have been in control.
Though you're starting to lose control now with the Brexit.

Oh roger, you are silly.

You blending all your prejudices together now.

You'll be telling me next that people who are not members of the Anglican Church and UKIP supporters are all thieves and murderers.

There is absolutely no correlation at all between religion and morality.

rules of behavior did not work in noahs day, they had to be destroyed becuase they became wicked beyond recovery. they buried anything to do whith God. there sin killed there conscience, and there was no law to revive them.they were completely dead to any reviving.after the flood God gave the ten commandments, and put them in mans heart. so we could have as a moral compass.
Gods word says, that he put his laws in our hearts, our conscience bears witness, if we lie , our consceince tells us,if we steal our conscience bears witness against us. ect

Were Noah's people Jews?

 

[Dan Robinson]

Wow - I didn't think it was that difficult a questions.

 

[breadnbutter]

Wow - I didn't think it was that difficult a questions.

of course God is against slavery. there is slavery today, its called human trafficking and there is christian organisations,as well as the police, and other none christian organisations that work against it.

 

[JohnD]

of course God is against slavery.

But the bible is not.

So why "of course?"

Is your god different from the god of the bible?

Having watched recent news on the middle east I concur.

 

[Dan Robinson]

of course God is against slavery.

Is not the bible the word of god?

the jews started after the flood,whith in the days of jacob ,noah was not a jew, but the jews came from his genealogy. his seed. family tree.

You sound as if it was news to you.

Surely you know about the Congregation of Christian Brothers and the Magdalene Laundries in Ireland?
Do you not know why the Knights Templar were disbanded?

You don't hold to the myth that Noah's flood slaughtered all the people in the world, then.
