God wants you to murder your kids?

I challenge you, you wont even be able to reply this post thats why you call it Nonsense because you chose the easy way out, there are so many posts alledgelly accusing Islam for what it is not. I can also say that is nonsense but i didnt i explained evrything according to the limited knowledge God almighty has given me.

Stonings are not done in Private it is done in Public, so that to give the lesson to the rest of the beleivers, why do you think the executions were done publicly in England and france, The beheadings. To give the public a lesson, Understood. I can talk about how much Voilence was commited by the so call Crusaders of the Christian Church, Witch huntings, Massacres but that is besides the topic.

of course, there are all kinds of people who murder their daughters/sons/neighbors/etc. but i'm concerned with here is murder in the name of God and the fact that these incidents have gone on (quite publicly) seemingly unchallenged and for so long. what is the punishment? are the peaceful too passive? when and how does this end?

Let's not blame this act on God, I would say rather it's related to the fact that it is the LACK of God..........Unfortunately there are people in every religion that act impulsively, or become hostile, or for whatever reason......Maybe they have even turned away from their faith, which in essence would be a lack of God, in their lives...

I would suggest if you are really concerned and feel that this is an issue that needs attention, then put some action behind your words and write letters to congressmen to the president to the heads of foreign countries or whatever, but don't try to make what is a blatant act of violence by a few narrowminded people into a Controversy about God or anyones religion.......

i am afriad there are societies that still carry out executions some public some not , i beleve China carries out about 8000 a year , its all down to breaking some law or another religious or secular, the world in general has a lot of maturing to do , untill that time i am afraid people will kill other people and justify it with their religion or their law

it's no secret that money and religion are the oldest evils in the world and the main reasons for the total histories of war, murder, and political corruption. but though want of money may be inherent, religious belief is a cycle that is continued via parenting. it is passed on by the generations and is often used to enhance people's lives. unfortunately, it doesn't always end where it should.

here is a classic tale: girl meets boy, they fall in love, they have a family and live happily ever after.

here is a modern religious tale: girl meets boy, they fall in love, girl has her skull publicly crushed by her family.

is this what we should expect from religious Middle Easterners now? forcing women to cover themselves and denying them basic human rights is pretty extreme. can someone please explain to a poor atheist why we are supposed to give credit to a religion that murders kids for loving kids from other faiths? is this an isolated incident, involving a community of people who all drank the same tainted water, making them insane? or is this the new standard in Iraqi religious behavior?

it is very easy to blame religion for anything these days because of the behaviour of some of its adherents. Le me tell you something...alot of the customs here in the Middle East have absolutely nothing to do with religion. The 'same 'tainted water' can be related so often to traditions that fathers inherited from grandfathers and not religious teachings. Unfortunately, some people value their traditions more than their religion.
