They always refer to God as Him. Do you really think it's some focused, conscious being? And what is it that makes this being masculine? I would imagine most people don't think he has a penis or testosterone in his blood. And I'm not trying to suggest "He" is some sort of actual man, either.

How does it come that when we flatter we're twice as likely to get 10points? I mean like this is even true if we don't answer their question. And also, if we do answer their question and it's not nice to hear then we're definitely not getting 10 points and we may even get a un-nice email.- just for telling the truth. Why did they ask if they didn't want the truth?

Well, we all probably know the answer- deep down everyone just wants to hear that they're special, they're nice and that they're appreciated. And if we don't tell em it then we're in trouble. Lol, aren't we humans quite a thing?

Evangelical leaders insist they know how gay marriage affects their voters -- they'll stay home if politicians don't push for the Federal Marriage Amendment (FMA). Last month, James Dobson, the influential founder of Focus on the Family, met privately with key Republicans, including Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, House Speaker Dennis Hastert and Majority Leader John Boehner, to warn them about the political consequences of failing to promote issues like marriage. "If you forget us, we'll forget you," he said, according to a GOP House leadership aide. "It's the one issue I have seen that eclipses even the abortion issue among Southern Baptists," says Richard Land, president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention.

If the bible is god's sign to mortal man, why did she wait so long to deliver it and why didn't she make it grow on the tree of knowledge instead of an apple so we wouldn't have had to wait for the printing press and then there would also be no discrepencies in the different versions?

Is it because they swim in their own toilet? Because that would be a good reason, I think. Let's see how many answers I get spewing scripture. Yes God loves me, yadda yadda, I get it.

It seems like a mingling of church and state, which as I recall is strictly forbidden in our constitution.

Anyone can look it up on the internet and the general consensus among science is that that oldest scripture from the Old Testament was written down around 980 BC. I realize that it tells of stories that happened earlier than then. But this is the oldest documented version we have. There are plenty of other ancient writings that are older than that and tell of some of the same stories and creation.

The Exodus supposedly happened around 1300 BC so how could it have been written by Moses when it even tells of his death.

Before you start telling that I am wrong or quoting bible verses, back it up with the name of an Anthropologist, the date he claims and website.

Think about this for a second.

Many cultures and countries are upset with each other. Some people even protest what others do. Europeans have had protests against Bush, but never with "Death to America".

However, EVERY protest in EVERY Islamic country always has the slogan "Death to America", and its never anything in between. Follow the distinction?

Islamic protests are very uniform, its DEATH or nothing. If they are not screaming for death, they are not protesting and visa versa.

Consider the cartoonist protests. DEATH! Uniform call for DEATH around the Islamic world. Indonesia or Arabia, Asian or Arab, made no difference, as long as they were Muslim, they were screaming for DEATH.
