......Using "god doesn't exist so your entire question is flawed" as an answer? It pisses me off. Thats just as bad as Christians saying "because it sys so in the bible. Fellow atheists, can't you please answer with some substance?

Wouldn't you feel a bit safer if the person who committed a crime against you was apprehended? Like bin ladin for instance as he plotted 9/11. He is the real threat not some civil war in iraq that is costing us billions.

Have anyone thought Why the women that ask if they are pregnant when they think they have the symptoms don't take the HPT???

I have my thoughts:
1.Desperation to hear the answer they want: AKA positive or not pregnant
2.they are way too early to be experiencing those symptoms or even to test
3.they are actually hoping the period that came is not period.
4.they don't have money to afford an hpt(come on dollar tree anyone)
5.Seeking attention,
6.they are too young AKA 13, 14, or 15...,
7.Oh and Most importantly they are pregnant but don't want to admit it even though the belly is about to POP!!

We Know, we still help you but please Follow the ADVICE THAT says: BUY A PREGNANCY TEST NOW! or WAIT!

make up statistics on the spot to suit their needs? And 14% are actually correct. 90% of listeners believe them when they quote numbers, 58% of the time. Only 23% actually have ever seen real stats, except in sports, where 78% of the stats are useless data anyway.

I've been reading a lot about the faith of Islam since it has been in the news a lot lately here in the US. I'm going to go ahead and say it...I am not a Muslim. However, I want to know and understand the faith, so that is why I am proposing these questions.

There are so many questions I have about the Quran, but I'll start with this: the Quran teaches that the Bible/Torah is correct and not to dispute it. (Quran 5:68, 29:46). However, this cannot be, since the Quran contradicts the Jewish/Christian sources. Muslims get around this by saying that the Christians and Jews corrupted thier books. This is impossible, as you'll see below.


Quote:
"God said: 'O Jesus son of Mary, recall My blessings upon you and your mother that I supported you with the Holy Spirit ... and I taught you the Scripture and the wisdom, and the Torah, and the Injeel'" (Quran 5:110)

Ok, this presents so many questions...Since Jesus taught the Injeel (Gospels) and the Torah, and Allah supported Jesus in his teachings, then Jesus and the scriptures must have been correct at the time (roughly 30 AD). Therefore, it must follow that up to that point, the Jewish and Christian Scriptures were 100% without flaw/corruption. Thus, the Tahrif, or fabrication by the Jews/Christians, occured between the death of Christ (33ish AD) and the birth of the Quran (7th century).

No such evidence exists. There were tons of copies of the Jewish Scriptures scattered in tons of countries at the time of Jesus. For the Jews to have changed all of them, for no apparent reason, makes little sense and cannot be supported at all by any historical evidence. In fact, the dead sea scrolls that were recently discovered were written before Jesus was even on earth...they confirm the validity of the Jewish scriptures. Also, note that most of the changes are not even important theological issues...which further begs the question: why would Jews corrupt their books to change little, insignificant details that have no bearing on the faith?

Later on in that passage, it becomes clear that Muhammed had a false view of what Christianity was. In 5:116, God says "O Jesus son of Mary, did you tell the people to take you and your mother as gods instead of God?" Clearly, Muhammed here is referring to the Christian view of the trinity. Except instead of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Muhammed thought it was Jesus, Mary, and the Father. There is no historical evidence of there ever being a cult of any sorts that worshiped Mary as a God. (This is why to this day, Muslims have a misunderstanding of the Trinity in Christianity...many believe that Mary is worshiped as a God)

There is so much evidence scattered throughout the Quran that strongly suggests that the Quran copied the Bible inaccurately, as if done orally years after hearing about the Bible (Muhammed didn't read/write). For instance, the Quran confused the sister of Moses (Miriam) with Mary, the mother of Jesus (In Hebrew, Miriam and Mary are the same names.). These two people lived 1,500 years apart.

Sorry for the long post, and if it came off sounding harsh, I apologize...I don't want this to turn into a bashing of religions. I just want to know what your view on this is.

Just seems to me as if this has got completely out of control now. For example, I used to enjoy watching Sharapova play, but the noise that comes out of her mouth whenever she hits a shot is now SO off-putting to the point of being unbearable.

And is there any scientific proof that you hit the ball better when you do this?

It's just crazy in my opinion. Monica Seles was the first tennis player I saw who 'popularised' grunting. Boy, does she have a LOT to answer for.

What do you think? Is it necessary at all? Does it take away from your enjoyment of the match?

Over to you...

If you look at Bush's approval rating in NYC it is very low. But if you look in the south it's a lot higher. You would think it would be higher in NYC because of 911 where people were directly affected. How come people thousands of miles away have such a dissenting view of the people the attack really affected. No one from the South lost anyone in the attack. How can they be so Pro Bush and Pro war when they didn't loose anyone close to them. The South doesn't have to worry about terror only big cities do.
