3 Essays that will change our worlds focus - Avoiding Roman History mistakes, destroying Isreal with a false prophet, Youth08

The history of Rome was a society like no other. We are all part of the Roman conflict. Some how during the fall of Rome, every one of us in the great world of our survived the fall of Rome, the 700 years of complete destruction of society, infrastructures, library's from 2000 years of history and we all were either part of the rise of Christianity, survived Paganism in some parts of the world or became part of the last religion that followed in fear of Christianity, Islam. Although many great people have been part of the Islamic history, the greatest portion of Islam that still survives today is the reason it was established, to counter the fear of Christianity during the fall of the Roman empire in the East. Islam took 2000 years of history and destroyed it and has yet to advance its own people out of the dark ages and uses this as a motivation for destruction of Christianity. As Christianity moved forward in the West, Islam slowly declined until all it had left was to fight for land and take over Christianity and its money, power and strong following of Christians world wide. The history of Rome ended at the beginning of the rise of Islam and Christianity. Both religions believe in God therefore every soul believing in God has the possibility of being saved. The error in judgement is not on the people but on the false prophet. I have read about how a false prophet will rise and millions will follow this great leader. They will truly believe he is the leader or prophet of his people. Because Islam use's Sex to gain young mens souls to die for God, Because Islam use's fighting to convert instead of love and because Islam has a leader without a face because of the fear of looking into the eye's of a false prophet or that the man was just a man who used the poor people of the day to motivate them to steal the riches of Christianity and the fall of Rome. The false prophet is Islam and the leader of Islam. The Billions that follow the war, the 72 women that will be at the end of young men's suicide deaths is so easy to see it is false. Everyone I have ever talked to has admitted it can not be. So if it can't be that millions will die for a lie then how can the religion that believes illiteracy and only knowledge of the Koran is a good thing. How can Women be bound to home and hide be a blessing of God. Because of his own inability to control him self, covering women helped him succeed to be a better person. I have met many good Muslims yet never have I met a Muslim that truly has seen the light of day or the blessings of God.

Is the current media discourse progressive, meaningful or helpful?

It seems to me that Islam is seen as the vangaard of an area of human interest known as 'faith'. As such it is the serpents head, the lopping off of which will destroy the serpent. What is the nature of that serpent?

Dawkins The God Delusion

Richard Dawkins. The God Delusion. Houghton Mifflin, New York, 2006. 406 pages. ISBN 13: 978-0-618-68000-9. Hard cover edition. In this review I will discuss what I take to be four of the most prominent fallacies in this new book. While, in my opinion, Dawkins performs a needed service for atheism by calling attention to the oppressive and discriminatory milieu in which American atheists now live (esp. pp. 43-45 f.), as one of atheism

The Pleasures of Paradise (part 1 of 2)

The Pleasures of Paradise (part 1 of 2) Description: The first of a two-part article defining the fundamental differences between Paradise and the life of this world. Part 1: The absence of those things which cause grief, pain and suffering in this life. The reality of Paradise is something which people will never be able to understand until they actually enter it, but God has shown us glimpses of it in the Quran. He has described it as a place essentially different to the life of this world, both in the very nature and purpose of life, as well as the types of delights which people will enjoy therein. The Quran tells people about Paradise, which God offers to them, describes its great blessings, and proclaims its beauties to everyone. It informs people that Paradise is one of two ways of life prepared for them in the afterworld, and that every good thing will be theirs in Paradise to a degree that surpasses our present ability to imagine. It also shows that Paradise is a place where all blessings have been created perfectly and where people will be offered everything their souls and hearts will desire, and that people will be far removed from want and need, anxiety or sadness, sorrow and regret. Every kind of beauty and blessing exists in Paradise and will be revealed with a perfection never seen or known before. God has prepared such blessings there as a gift, and these will be offered only to people with whom He is pleased.

How to be successful in life

One of the greatest means of feeling content and relaxed and of acquiring peace of mind is to remember Allaah a great deal (dhikr). That has a great effect in bringing contentment and peace of mind, and relieving worry and distress. Allaah says:

Religion of Global Warming

I want to bring up the subject of anthropogenic global warming (AGW) theory in relation to religion. I believe Global Warming and Environmentalism are very interesting cases of combining religion and science. Keeping the technical ins and outs of AGW theory out, the basis of current GW hype is rooted in a broad scientific agreement that warming witnessed in the last 50 years is caused by human emissions of CO2. CO2 emissions rose and so did the temperatures. It is entirely logical to link the two. This may appear authoritative but has some serious shortcomings. First of all, scientists admit they have no proof but only a consensus. Secondly, the consensus rests on scientists not being able to explain present warming by anything else. This is far from solid science. Thirdly, scientists recognise that their understanding of climate and different climate forcings is very poor. They don't know much about clouds, water vapour, aerosols, Sun and many other critical factors that affect climate. To top it all off, this shaky science is fed into computers to produce catastrophic visions of the future.

GOD EITHER IS OR IS NOT

Humanity seems to need God(s) in order to define individual existence and purpose. If there is no single or collective higher being, why is there life? Happenstance? Chance? Doesn't man want some promise of immortality, of continued existence, somewhere? Religion is the narcotic of the masses. Why religion and not spirituality? Why do we continue to believe we need mandated ritualized order in place of information and independent thought?

Religion is rotten science

The creation myths created the gods. Therefore, religion is, fundamentally fiction. As E.O. Wilson puts it Creation myths were in a sense the beginning of science itself. Fabricating them was the best the early scribes could do to explain the universe and human existencehttp://www.harvardmagazine.com/on-line/110518.html Time to jettison religion as fact and recognize that it belongs the literature and primitive philosophy shelves.

Ideology and Faith

Ideological wars can be fought with counter-ideologies. Religious wars tend to be re-kindled by every generation. Is classic conflict resolution the prescribed approach to solving Middle-East Tensions, which have proven to be the most humanly costly and infrastructurally devastating of conflicts since the 10th Century.?

Growth of an unequal world

By Mazhar Farid Chishti It's hard to find conclusive evidence for a positive link between trade liberalisation and poverty Reduction Globalisation is not a shortcut to development. Economic development has always required a prudent blend of domestic innovations with imported practices. But political leaders and policymakers look in a hurry to catch the momentum generated by globalisation. Openness mantra which is always backed by the senior officials of the International Financial Institutions like the World Trade Organization (WTO) and International Monetary Fund (IMF) has been repeated in so many times that it is now viewed as an essential component of a country's development strategy. Poor nations are diverting resources from key domestic issues to global economic integration. This is bad news for them.
