HisChildForever Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 [quote name='Apotheoun' date='18 February 2010 - 10:00 PM' timestamp='1266548443' post='2059160'] HCF, I removed the negative point your received for the first post in this thread. May God grant you many joyful years, Todd [/quote] [quote name='Apotheoun' date='18 February 2010 - 10:05 PM' timestamp='1266548713' post='2059162'] Sorry HCF, but some one has given you another negative point. I apologize for that person's action, and pray that God will open that individual's heart to His Word, which is not found in Islam, but only within His Holy Church. [/quote] You want to know what I find disturbing? That I am receiving negatives not because of the content of my post (and that disgusting video deserves as many negatives as it can get), but that I am receiving negatives because my post is anti-Islam.

Vincent Vega Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 If we all spent half the time that we do talking about Islam by praying the Rosary, imagine the things we'd accomplish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The word Islam comes from the root [i]slm[/i], which means to submit or surrender, but a Muslim would hold that once one has surrendered to Allah and his prophet, he will find peace.

[/quote] One can voluntarily submit. Where it becomes harsh is in the case of one who chooses later to leave Islam, because Mohammad taught that a person who apostatizes is to be executed.

If I had not resigned as a Phatmass Church Scholar I would have a bunch of points to give out too, but the point system really has no rules set up for accountability, which makes it simply a popularity contest.
