Yes please... Your homework assignment is to find out why the descendents of Ishmael's seed will always be at war with the world. Had you "read" more rather than spouting off ignorant questions you would have found it! I'll give you a couple of hints, there is a well know best seller called the BIBLE. If you don't care to read that then maybe you could try some previous threads here in this forum.

Your homework assignment is to gloss over the hundreds of contradictions and mistakes that the Bible contains.
If it's a best seller, then everything it says has to be true. Never mind that Mao's little red book, the Qur'an, and the Harry Potter books are also on the list of best sellers of all time.

Ah well, time for cookies.
Hasn't been on the bestseller list in a long time. Tell you what though, it is one of the most commonly stolen books.
I don't know what "reading" is, but I suspect it's what you do.
I'm sure the fact the good old US of A has been messing around in the Middle East for a long time, supporting one ruthless, but USA friendly, dictator after another, has nothing to do with why Arabs hate you.
Mein Kampf was a best-seller, too.
At the risk of the Godwin meltdown, I must say that the only reason MK was a best seller was because the Germans felt they had to buy it, in order to be good Germans (let alone Nazis).
Similarly, Christians feel they have to buy and/or distribute the Holy Bible in order to even call themselves Christian. That's why the book is a best-seller (which is an assertion, by the by, which is not backed up with citations).

Well said, my friend. Well said.

Er, I think the idea that the Bible is the world's best-selling book comes from the fact that there are so many editions. Looking it up on amazon would only consider the sales of one edition, not all of them.
That said, I did look at the 'religion and spirituality' top 100 on amazon.co.uk. The Qu'ran is in there, and so is the Laveyan Satanic Bible, but no edition of the Bible is. And #1 is, of course, 'The God Delusion'.
Because most religions are barely disguised politics and business, and it is in the church's best interest to have an identifiable enemy. No one can see god, but god tells you just who to hate. And by god, he hates the same people the worshippers do!
The children of Ishmael have been expelled, deported, humilliated and even butchered by those cowards that you cowardly support for money. And should I remind you that, before all this, those who were at war with everybody were the kids of Jacob(remember Massada?)?. Do your homework but not in homeschooling.
Do you have the DNA trail of the descendants of Ishmael? The anthropological finds throughout history that give evidence for this "always at war with the world" hypothesis? Cross references in many different history dissertations? No?
What DO you have? One compilation of myths and legends, thousands of years old, most of which are stolen from older myths and legends - that's it? Sorry dear, you might as well have arrived here with Through the Looking Glass, and asserted that rabbits prefer monocles and high hats to sports watches and caps.
Many of us have read most or all of the Bible and found it wanting.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
