    A Few Important Questions on Catholicism

    Hello OBOB, I am currently waiting for my parish priest to return in about a week so that I can begin my instruction to be able to join the Catholic Church.

    Did Mary consent to being impregnated?

    So tell me, did Mary get a say in being impregnated? Because sometimes that part of the story just reads like get gets told that she'll be getting pregnant now, and, well, sure, she does say later on, "Okay, let it be so," that part of her response seems pretty inconsequential given the fact...

    Islam Violence in the Qu'ran

    Does anyone know where to find the passages that say to kill unbelievers (of Islam)?
