Aren't the Abrahamic religions just selfish?
It's all about getting into heaven. Everything revolves around that fact. You do good only so you can get into heaven. You pray to god only so you can get into heaven. You attend a sermon so that you will get into heaven. Aren't these religions breeders of selfishness?

18 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhy is it wrong to kill people?
Really think about it before writing "OMG dis is lyke so0o rong!"
Other than not wanting to be killed and the fear of god or legal punishment, there really is no reason is there?
It's just established that you don't do that. But if you knew you could without any punishment whatsoever, you would, wouldn't you?
And why is it wrong to kill a human being but not a cow? or a mosquito? or a flower?
We are just animals in the end and killing is apart of our nature. Everything dies anyway. Pain is nothing more than a speck on the timeline of the universe. So why other than stability of government and society is killing wrong?

9 AnswersMathematics1 decade agoWho is Cybill?
I've heard this name thrown around a couple of times but what does the name mean?
It's been in the movies "Wedding Crashers" and "Two Ninas", and I think they talk about a crazy girl when they bring it up.

Coffee with this girl... don't really know what to do. Talking gets old fast... then what?
1 AnswerSingles & Dating1 decade agoWhy would Jesus have to die for our sins?
There is no logic behind the "son of god" dying for mankind. Why wouldn't god threaten to kill himself instead? That would at least make sense.
19 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhy is "sickle cell" a substitute for the "N" word?
It's been used in the movie "Full Metal Jacket", and I looked it up; it seems to check out. Where did it originate from?
6 AnswersWords & Wordplay1 decade agoHow come Christians immediately attack the questioner without reading the question?
In 4/5 of my past questions there were many Christians who immediately went to the "WHY ARE MUSLIMS QUESTIONING MY RELIGION" phase instead of actually reading my question.
1.) That's not what Jesus would do
2.) You should really read the question
3.) Stop attacking Muslims, I'm not even a Muslim.
36 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoHow come there are so many contadictions in the Bible?
If it were really the word of God, how could it have so many things contradicting themselves?
28 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoHow come Jesus was mentioned numerous times as a prophet in the New Testament?
If the Bible was really the word of god, wouldn't Jesus have been mentioned as the son of god EVERY TIME, not just as a prophet?
18 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhen Jesus taught the Lord's prayer, Why did he say "Our father"?
If he was really the son of god, wouldn't he have said "My father who art in heaven..."?
How do Christians pray this prayer with their eyes WIDE OPEN and not see the facts.
Jesus was not the son of god.
17 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade ago1 man wrote half the New Testament...?
Paul, who had never met Jesus personally, wrote 15 of the 27 books of the New Testament. Oh yeah before he did that, he hunted down Christians and took them to jail, where they would be tortured and killed.
That's like me writing a book about Elvis, after I spent my life as a bounty hunter for Elvis impersonators at Abu Ghraib.
I'm not even gonna get into the Gospels, cause they were written like a century after Jesus died, by guys who never even knew him.
So why would anyone believe that?
15 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhy do guitarists make that face when they play?
Personally, I play the guitar and I've never made that face.
12 AnswersMusic1 decade agoDid you know that everyone who worships God is considered a Muslim?
Muslim means "on who submits to God". It doesn't have any pre-requisite other than that.
That means you are probably a Muslim. Jesus was a Muslim. Moses was a Muslim. Adam and Eve were Muslims.
40 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoHow come Jesus, a Jew, was crucified on Friday afternoon?
Jews were not executed on the Sabbath (Friday evening into Saturday). That means Jesus would have had to die that afternoon.
How did Jesus die in one afternoon when crucifixions normally take several days to be completed?

11 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoDid you know that a bounty hunter named Paul wrote 15 books of the New Testament?
Before he appointed himself to become an Apostle after Jesus "contacted him from the dead", Paul hunted down Christians and captured them so they could be tortured and killed. This man personally wrote 15 of the 27 books of the New Testament and also could have had an influence on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
Don't you think something is very wrong with the fact that some guy wrote more than half the New Testament, without ever meeting Jesus personally? Oh yeah, by the way, the other 11 Apostles rejected Paul and other disciples tried to kill him.
