Or, if you are a muslim, then why are you an atheist about the god jesus, or the god shiva?

Funny how we are all atheist when it comes to specific gods. When you understand why you reject all those other gods, perhaps then you will understand why I and they reject your god. Fact: Atheism is not a religion, but all religious persons are atheists. In other words we share common grounds. Everyone who post here may not be religious, but we are all atheist.

Blessed lord Jesus...your Isaeli bride dances her war dance...claps her hands and stamps her feet...in deep defiance of her enemies...she twirls in your war dance...and hurls out her defiant cry....Why should one live in such trouble....one who you used to bring your words to humanity ? Or perhaps this is why ? Surely this is revenge for being your bride and the birthing of your prophets...Please swoop down and carry us to your embrace my Love...to the secret chambers of your Throne...and send St. Michael out with all his under lords...to battle and prevail...for your city of Gold..ur Jerusalem..ur jewish people. How long O Lord will we see trouble ? When will we live in peace ? When will you appear again to your people ? Please come and dry our tears my Lord and Lover...shine your beautiful face and turn back our enemies....Please hug me again my Jesus...and all our babies...

Strange, but it's a word that many use and I believe few understand.

We may not be able to combat all evil in the world, but we can eliminate problems one step at a time and we can do things to make our part of the world a better place.

In the next 7 days, what are you willing to do to make the world around you nicer for just one person outside of your home? Come on, I bet you can think of one easy thing to do.

What are you willing to do? I promise to call one person I know who is lonely and shut in.

Your own pledge must be something you are willing to do. Ten points goes to the person who pledges and sincerely is willing to follow through with the best promise.

Make your world a better place one step at a time.

I get theis urges to smoke. I usually smoke under stress and always on my brakes at work. I smoke less at home but I still smoke. I go through two packs of smokes in a week. I understand the hazourds of smoking. My fiance hates it wene I smoke because her grandmother recently died from smoking and she's afraid that I might die the same way. I'm 23 and I've got a potentially serious smoking problem. Its just so hard to stop. What would I do with out my cigaretts? How can I stop wene everyone else around me smokes at work.

I think the old Testament also prescribes some barbaric punishments, but no Christian or Jew now suports them and none of their countries imposes them. They are in fact an embarassment, only kept in the books for historical reasons. They are a reminder of the savage times the human race has travelled through.

The criticism of civilised people of the Islamic books is because virtually all Muslims blinly and automatically support everything them and argue that they are correct.

The excuses they often make that they require stringent proof or that they are rarely applied are completely without merit because they still imply support.

The only excuse that might make the Islamic religion begin to be respectable would be to say " Yes such punishments are barbaric, no longer acceptable and we are working for their abolition". What do you think?

I've heard of some people say the got signs when they prayed and asked for a sign. I was just curious as to if this could work so I can figure out what I should really do about my current problem. Thank you.

Someone chucks a brick through my window and kills my daughter. I decide the guilty party is a guy in another suburb we all dislike. I spread the word this guy is guilty and get everyone agreeing, but he denies it. I even get a few envelopes, put in some poison and mail them off to some neighbours. I spread the word this guy sent the poison and get everyone gossiping (he’s trying to kill again) and get them hating him more.

I go out and mount a surprise attack on his house. Throw in a some fire bombs, shoot bullets through his window, try to kill him. I miss, but kill a few of his friends and his house explodes because of a gas leak, killing a couple of his innocent neighbours.

Later I find out he didn’t throw the brick through my window, and was never involved. I just made a mistake and killed innocent people. Am I guilty of murder, homicide or what, after all he was still a bad guy?

I only ask because my actions seem no different than that of G W Bush invading Iraq.

language. The language humans have is of a spirit (soul). Spirits can talk. Do you agree or disagree?

-k- everybody, what's funnier when people fall down: is it funnier when they trip and fall on their face with their arms outstretched in front of them, or when they slip on something and fall on their a ss with their arms outstretched behind them?

My state is passing a law to ban cell phone use for anyone under 18 while driving.

Can't drink until 21.

Can't drive a car in my state at will until 18.

BUT, you can join the military at 17 (with parental consent) and after basic while you are still only 17, you can go fight and die in Iraq.

This makes no sense.
