It's true. The catholic church just moves pedophile priests from place to place, only getting rid of them when their actions become public knowledge. And where do you think the money to protect these child molesters comes from? That's right, your offerings and donations.

Why don't you just cut out the middle man, and donate directly to NAMBLA?

No. The Quran clearly says that, "anyone who has an atom's worth of goodness will see it and anyone who has done an atom's worth of evil will also see it" (Quran 99:7-8). By that it is meant that those who are non- believers but have done good will be rewarded in this world for their good deed. On the other hand, those who do good if they are Muslims, they will be rewarded not only in this world but also in the world hereafter. However, the final Judgment is up to God himself. (Quran 2:62)

Do you believe that people are born with a "good" gene and a "bad" gene that makes them good or bad people, or do you think that everyone that is born is a good person that things happen to make them " bad"?

And christians, I am not talking about being born with the "sin nature"

What is your personal opinion about "common law" marriage?

My opinion is that it is BS and that if you are going to live together and assume the roles and responsibilities of marriage, then you should be able to get legally and truly married. I realize that in the eyes of the law, common law marriage is considered legal, but I will never consider it a real marriage.

Just to give you my point of view, now tell me yours.

-didn't u know that good people are not equal to bad ones?

-and didn't u know that u still sin everyday and it cannot be forgiving unless u keep repenting (so what's the point of jesus death?)

-didn't u know that everyone is responsible of his own sins, and God did not sent no one to die for anyone sins.

They say fences make good neighbors. So maybe they should put up fences between some countries.

According to UNICEF 2001, children and women subjected to commercial sexual exploitation:

400,000 in India (about 0.04% of population)
244,000-325,000 in the United States (about 0.08%)
200,000 in Thailand (about 0.31%)
175,000 in Eastern & Central Europe
100,000 in the Philippines (about 0.11%)
100,000 in Taiwan (about 0.44%)
100,000 in Brazil (about 0.05%)
35,000 in West Africa

Thailand, a country with a high percent of exploited children, started a campaign against it recently. Historically spread of children exploitation in this country is related with US military interventions. Are Americans aware of the impact of their country on children rights there too?

I think some try to approach God on an intellectual level with a human reason as if we are investigating the Lockness Monster or UFO's. God is spirit, we cannot reach him on this type of intellectual persuit..it takes something deeper than that. Man was trying to cure disease by training the blood out of people just 200 years ago and spinning people on wheels trying cure emotional problems..the foolishness of man has a long and ridiculous history of failure..but some believe that we now have "arrived" in our great wisdom..and yet God remains and his people grow according to the cenus. It's not that some are bad they just approach God in humanist way that's doomed to fail. I read a question earlier and the person demanded evidence of God within 48 hours, he doesn't get it. We all have a measure of faith but it's up to us how we use it. I believe some work so hard to prove there is no God because they believe they won't be held accountable..an agnostic denial won't work
Do you agree?
