The bible is the word of man, who created religion and gods, imbued with man's ignorance, fear, and failings – which is why the bible is completely devoid of secular authority, as wisely and appropriately codified in the First Amendment.

I am an ancient greek plays geek-------sorry---but
your post is incoherent. Greek plays are highly structured.
I am talking about the CONCEPT:
of WOMEN banding together to hold MEN to account
to stop their wars. or in this case, the abuse of
religion to commit genocide.
If all women stand together across all nations and religions,
this would put public pressure on men to stand together to stop the killings and rape.
What do you think of that concept irosie91?
Using the Internet to connect ALL Women and ALL groups
who are fed up like you are and want this abomination to be STOPPED.
I am very aware of the power of women----especially the
power of MOTHERS over their sons------especially in some
societies-----interestingly-----mothers control their sons most
notably (IMHO) in muslim, hindu and jewish groups----
the difference being that the control part gets transferred to WIFE----amongst jews-----but stays with mothers amongst
muslims and hindus (IMHO) I blame it all on the
MOTHERS. (a few wives---but mostly on the mothers)
I have seen examples even here in the US-----the mothers

Reminds me of this statement, that men are not equal to women
because of motherhood. If this is respected correctly, it is empowering.
If it becomes oppressive like trying to keep women in the home instead of driving, it backfires!

Hollie and Emily,
The source of the knowledge of Islam (libraries are filled with tons of books) is not just the Qur'an. There is also the Hadiths which are the sayings of Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family). These explain what the Qur'an says. Then there are also the teachings of the saints of Islam and these saints still exist today (but Muslims generally don't like to be with them). Overall, it makes for 3 sources.
Islam provides chances for everyone. Everyone is born pure in Islam. Islam judges people according to their righteouness. So Islam comes with open arms, but when you come with open arms, people will cheat you. That's why there is so many evils within the Muslims, because Islam comes before them with arms open. It is a sign that this religion is true.
Yes, Islam teaches to hate sinners. They incur divine displeasure, and out of love for God you hate them. But ultimately you know it was only God who did those bad things, so you don't hate them. You must find a balance.
What reform is needed in Islam ? The Islamic knowledge is out there for everyone, but no one is willing to accept it. They prefer the easy ways. Islam is very clear, you are not to fight for Islam. What Muhammad and his Companions did was for their time only, as God ordered Muhammad to fight (during that time). It has been quite long since Islam stopped the order of waging war against the non-Muslims.
Moreover, Islam does not wish to enter the United States. There are Islamic lands and there are other lands. But it's true the Muslims in the United States may have another agenda. But Islam is one thing, the Muslims are another thing.
As to equality, men and women are perfectly equal; the same way people of different races are equal. Scholars will sometimes claim the opposite because they are not well intentioned.
Is an insult to God. At least the Higher Power, Creator I believe in.
The Bible is a representation of the spiritual writings, letters, stories, and mythologies of early Mesopotamia.
It contains many powerful and inspiring stories. But it also contains evidence of a brutal and inhuman society that stoned people to death, treated women as property, and owned slaves...
The Old Testament portrays God as a pissy old man wondering around the desert, playing cruel jokes on his people... "kill your son... just kidding!"
We humans are limited in our imaginations, in that we always portray our God's in human form.
The bible is an imperfect collection of early writings, that can all too easily be manipulated to Man's ill-will. The Bible has been used to justify so many awful things, God's word? Hardly.
Emily,
Let me remind you that in Islam Jesus is an honoured prophet, out of 124 000 honoured prophets. Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) is known as the Seal of the prophets. He is the last of all the prophets and the best of them, and the beloved of God Almighty.
What follows is also adressed to C_Clayton_Jones. The freedom of religion America boasts of is inspired by Islam. Freedom of religion, that's an Islamic concept. It's not Christian.

The Quran says Jesus was not the son of God but it also says he was not crucified. Since there are a large number of verses in the four books of the disciples giving a lucid account of the crucifixion either the bible is made up story's or the Quran is all lies. I subscribe to the latter, and consider Muhammad a false prophet.
Matthew 7:15-20New King James Version
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them".
The fruits of Muhammad are terrible wars, and acts of savagery that are going in the world today.
Nope irosieEmily----the Pharisee jew-----Yeshua ben Yosef-----has nothing to do with anything you think or write----He was ----like most Pharisee jews of his time-----a disciple of HILLEL. He was crucified by the romans-----like tens of thousand of other Pharisee jews of his time. You ---without knowing it-----are
an admirerer of the thoughts and teachings of a person named
HILLEL --------I find the whole thing----kinda funny. I have no
religious education-----I did attend Episcopalian sunday school with a playmate about a dozen times-----but all I did was play with a coloring book -----"jesus holding a lamb"------I was an avid reader----as an adolescent and figured out that Jesus was a Pharisee follower of HILLEL----------independently. Then---
about 20 years ago------I heard a scholar describe Jesus as a
PHARISEE JEW--------gee....... You know nothing about the person you call "Christ"-------good guy but not "god"
