Fag is derived from faggot-gatherer, a pejorative term used to describe a worthless person that collected faggots (a bundle of sticks used to kindle a fire) faggot-gatherers would sell the kindling to people gathered to witness a burning at the stake.
Sorry to correct, but Islam views Muhammed as a prophet.
Jews, Muslims and Christians all have the same Abrahamic roots. All believe that Jesus was a person not a diety, not a God. To Jews a man and perhaps a false messiah, to Muslims a lesser prophet, to Christians God's son (God in flesh), a messiah (saviour of Jews and Gentiles). The Triune God is a difficult concept to understand three in one, one God in three forms, but still a person.
You're right is doesn't make sense Jesus should be the unifying thread that connects all of these religions under one God. In one way or another we are connected, created by the same God or share the same blood as a mixed race.
A. How can you love animals on the same level as humans, that is perverse (I think it is illegal in most areas).
B. I suffered a heart attack and had to reduce my meat and dairy intake dramatically. My grocery bills are just as expensive as before. How can you justify feeding livestock when you can't feed people, it has nothing to do with economics. It has a lot to do with hunger and famine. Also it depends on the area and type, if you have to fertilize, irrigate and tend crops that have to be processed to be consumed, they become more expensive.
C Animals lovers seldom love all animals and that OK, but hypocritical.
No, but Vegans have a choice not to be animal lovers. Vegans choose not to eat meat as a personal choice, plant lovers allow that without protest. A Vegan that harms other humans are hypocrites i.e. poisoning turkeys to protest animal cruelty is one of the most preposterous and contradicting notions that I have ever heard of. Vegans must be absolute in there belief for it to be meaningful i.e. no animals killed for any reason not just food. I think vegans would find it exceedingly difficult to purchase anything that doesn't contain animals parts.
Most apparel and wallets are not eaten, however the animals can hardly lend its own skin. Grain has been genetically spliced to rodent DNA to make it abhorrent to "pests". Medicines and vitamins contain animals. Even pet care products contain animal parts. God gave us molars, canine and incisor teeth for us to be able to choose what to eat. The important issue is not that animals die, it is how they are treated while they lived and how they are killed. I know many ranchers that care deeply for their livestock animals as deeply as they care for their horses. What purpose does it ultimately serve to substitute highly toxic and environmentally unsound synthetics in place of safe animal based products.
Ending the life of any thing living is murder in the broadest sense, to feed, clothe and shelter humans something must die plant or animal. I agree nothing should have to suffer to sustain us, however things must die or we do. Lions kill and eat gazelles, however they would die if they only ate grass. We don't know if plants suffer or are aware because it is beyond our understanding. Vegans have the right to believe as they do, however they are no more, no less superior or moral.
How do you know, vegetables and other plants respond to sound (music and conversation). The respond to touch (patience plant), they trap and eat prey (venus fly trap). They are aware of light and warmth. Because you cannot communicate with them does not mean they do not communicate with each other.
There are no other humans that had God for a father. Maybe the world would be a better place if God fathered more sons and daughters, too. Jesus was sacrificed so that you and I could talk about these things.
1. Talk about having your fact wrong, Christ does not imply divinity. Jesus Christ is son of God, immaculately conceived by the virgin Mary (note immaculate means "not impregnated" and a pregnant virgin).
2. Is there an argument here, do you have proof you are withholding? I believe in gravity and the sun, I don't float away and the world is lighted and warmed every day. No one has every touched the sun or illustrated gravity, it just is.
3. Unsubstantiated claim, support your claim with evidence not speculation. Do you have evidence of Alexander the Great or Attila the Hun?
4. Hieroglyphics translated much later, how could it be plagiarized. Jesus and the people of the time spoke Aramaic and few could read the written word. To further complicate the first version was translated to Greek first. Prophecy predates the bible and all predictions came true.
Maybe you should start a church, do you have anything worthwhile believing in?
I too, am a Christian and we should doubt most doctrine and things man made. The early church and church today has done much to harm its own image and the concept of a Triune God is a difficult one. The teachings of Jesus are important regardless of a belief in a divinity and are a "best practices" manual. The mission is God passionately seeking a relationship with his children, the church exist because of "missio dei" God's mission. God's existence is not found in a church, it is found in a relationship with the Lord, a relationship that I am sure of and I treasure. Agnostics and atheists would argue that I am dilusional, unless they invite Jesus in to their own hearts they will never know.
Ever heard of the Shroud of Turin or the Dead Sea Scrolls. There is an entire vault of ancient artifacts.
The Smithsonian Institute and The National Geographic Society report the Bible is a historically accurate document (fact not fiction), they make no similar claim to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The author created Mr Wonka as a fictional character. Go to the library and you will find fiction and non-fiction there too. I also read about the holocaust in a book, and that is quite factual. The insult at the end weakens your already weak argument.
The Creator, The Father, God was never claimed to be a man, Jesus Christ was created by God as his son on earth. God in flesh, simply a form that man could interact with. Jesus Christ died on the cross and was resurected. The concept of a triune God is well documented. To claim the contents of scripture, you must take the time to research the subject. I urge you to read the Bible as a publication, you may find it fascinating and educational.
Miracles happen daily, they defy man's explanation through logical and scientific means, to choose to ignore them and not credit them to a higher authority isn't logical or scientific. Hundreds of millions of people testify openly to communication with God, to dismiss this as mass hysteria is preposterous. Every species on the planet created with a similar genetic code. The probability factor is astronomical even allowing for millions years, random events could not have equaled the complexity of this code. Darwin's theory of evolution is also flawed, each species has a unique genetic footprint often less than a fraction of a percent in degrees of separation. It is far more likely the modern man survived because they were the most violent and conquering. Every other species or "tribe" simply annihilated every other similar sentient species on earth. There is no concrete evidence of "evolution" today it is still an unproven theory as is the theory of relativity, there are very few science facts much of the entire body of knowledge is theoretical.
