Not God's religion, Submission.

[Quran 49:13] O people, we created you from the same male and female, and rendered you distinct peoples and tribes, that you may recognize one another. The best among you in the sight of GOD is the most righteous. GOD is Omniscient, Cognizant.

The only criterion for distinguishing among the people is not race, background, nationality, color, knowledge, etc - but righteousness.

Zakaria

Seems to me any religion that is exclusive in some way (only certain people 'chosen'; only certain people get eternal bliss; some people are tormented in an afterlife) would by definition favor some over others based on defined theological standards. The question becomes whether the exclusivism is justified. My personal view, however, is that God does not play favorites.

Yes.
Heterosexuals over homosexuals.
Lev 20:13 (KJV)
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Those born within wedlock over those born out of wedlock.
Deu 23:2 (KJV)
A ******* shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
His followers over the followers of others.

sorry, but this is just too broad, too poorly expressed and undefined for any kind of meaningful response.

perhaps if the poster would treat us to its own definitions or opinions we would be able to find a meaningful basis for discussion.

They aren't supposed to, but some people do use superiority in things they are not supposed to.

it would be safe to say certain groups favor us. it is generally a male oriented religion, although both genders are seen as equal. and those who have an affinity with death. people who have thse traits usually look to join. honestly we do not care what sexual orientation/race/gender/age you are (for the age bit you must be old enough to understand what is going on, that age varys on the person)

Greetings!

>Does religion favor some groups over others?

TRUE religion doesn't: it benefits everyone equally!
