[*yrrnotelekktric*]

The Vatican's newspaper reported that for the first time in history, there are more Muslims in the world than Roman Catholics. All groups of Christians still outnumber Muslims, according to 2007 estimates from the CIA World Factbook.

I'm bothered that nothing you say makes any damn sense.

You don't make any damn sense... you don't even have a proper opinion about religion in general other than negativity and attacks on religion as a whole. So why are you upset at somethin you can't understand? Just move along and ignore it...

What is a "proper opinion"? Opinion is subjective. I'm not attacking religion as a whole; I personally feel that it's ridiculous, but that doesn't mean that my opinions are any less "proper" than anyone else's. Being irritated by your unclassified statements like Catholics being pagan and Popes being ridiculous is not even remotely the same thing as being upset at things I don't understand.

Meanwhile, rather than trying to refute what I say, you respond with irrelevant statements about religious tolerance, which is moot when most of Muslim culture isn't very tolerant of anything else.

Menawhile, rather than trying to refute what I say, so respond with irrelevant statements about religious tolerance, which is something a good many Muslims don't seem to get.

A proper opinion in my point of view is basically having an opinion that actually makes sense. I can claim that a Catholic is a pagan, not because I dislike them and just want to call them pagans. But because they idolize multiple objects.

I can claim that it's ridiculous that Christians believe that Jesus became God when God specifically told the people never to put their faith in any thing other than God. Yet here comes the New Testament and all of a sudden God contradicts himself? The heck? God is perfect, he's done nothin by mistake. The idea of Jesus dying, rising into the sky, then becoming God is the mythology of the Egyptians. The same mythologies that Romans believed in, the same Romans who slaughtered the Jews and the Muslims and burned their holy buildings and their texts.


I can make my opinions as long as I have proper reasoning, as long as I know the obvious, which other may or may not realize and call it ignorant.



Islam is perfect. You just don't agree with their Holy ways because of your Westernized views. And I don't have a problem with your views because I know you don't understand Islam. It takes a lot of patience and experience to understand why Islam is not socially modernized. I respect them for everything they stand for, especially their Holy culture which will never die. Their generations and newer generations are strong in Islam and that'll NEVER change.


Anyways...

I read the article, but again... I wouldn't take that article too seriously only because there's people who are not counted out there. Granted that Islam not only exists in the Middle East, Europe, Africa, Mexico, South America, America/Canada etc... but did FBI just go to every single home in this world to get that number?

I can only assume that FBI is tryin to strike fear into the people, since America and Europe are tryin to coin Islam = Terrorism.
