Every religious text must be interpreted by a humans. If God exists and there is an afterlife, only then can anyone be sure if he wrote any of the books and what his meaning was in the book.

Every religion has violent followers but not every religion has people who do violence from an interpretative belief that their religion requires them to do violence.

Today only Islam has example of people murdering as a direct consequence of a violent interrpretation of the Quran. We are all familiar with terrorist claims of authority to murder from various citations in the Quran but it you can also see the clear linkage by noting how much violence muslims do while yelling praises to their God (Alluah Akbar!!! booom).

Why do Americans pronounce Van Gogh like "Van Go"?

When everyone else especially the Dutch know it's pronounced with a CH like in Scottish loch, which is soft, not like in lock. And a G in dutch is pronounced like an H. I get why you have different pronunciation for words from British English, that's just normal divergence of language. Do you also pronounce Scottish surnames the way you read them, like the English do ? - such as Dalziel (should be pronounced Dee-yell), Menzies (should be pronounced Ming-iss), Lamont (should have stress on first syllable).

The universe is so complicated there must be a God. Does this make sense?

If an ant doesn't understand the universe, we say no wonder, it's just an ant. If a cow doesn't udderstand the universe, we say no wonder it's just a cow. If a Christian doesn't understand the universe, he is amazed and says that there must be a god, and that explains everything. Why can't he just realise that we are not very important creatures who don't understand much at all?

If I become a citizen will everyone treat me like I'm equal?

I'm a legal resident.I'm from Mexico.I speak english and I pay taxes.I am studying for a degree this fall.But still people think I'm "illegal" because I speak spanish with my family and friends because I live in a hispanic neigborhood and listen to latino music.I embrace the American way but I can't turn my back on my roots because it is part of who I am.Will I and others like me ever be accepted totally as Americans? Or will we always just be the beaner that mows your yard for 5 dollars an hour?
