If quitters never win, and winners never quit, who came up with, "Quit while you're ahead"?

I am a Hindu, living in India. Names of Gods and Goddesses are freely used in everyday life. For naming, houses, shops, schools, establishments, anything. This practice is encouraged too.
Whereas, in Christianity the unwarranted use of the name is Christ is considered blasphemy. Why is it so?

Even in the new millenium, the affects of slavery are still very strong. You still see hatred between those of darker and lighter complexions...we're making it hard on ourselves to be unified by constantly comparing our hair, skin, and features. We gotta quit the slave mentality and start uplifting each other...White people are no longer the enemy...we're our worst judges now.

I think that American support of Israel only increases hatred towards America. Richard Cohen said it was a mistake to create a European Jewish nation in the Arab middle east. If we support Israel, we must also support Palestine to be an honest broker of peace!

What's the difference ?It does say it both ways.How do you explain away what Jesus says in Matt. 28?The bottom line is this, there's no magic words that are going to get you in to heaven.
"if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved"
Romans 10:9. There are two very important points in this verse.It says God raised Him ...it doesn't say He raised himself.The other point here is you don't get saved by any works you do but by the fact that Jesus was raised from the dead.

I'm a Universal Unitarian and very secure in this fact. I simply like learning about other religions and asking questions about them. But I keep getting people telling me that "obveously your heart is straining for God," and "you wouldn't be asking these questions if you were reall a non-believer," and "you have a void in your heart that Jesus needs to fill." Um... what? No, I don't. Why don't people seem to believe me when I say I'm perfectly happy not being a Christian?

Similarly, why do people assume I'm Muslim when I try to defend Islam? I'm not Muslim, I'm simply someone who dosn't think you should say an entire religion is evil simply because of the actions of a few extreemists and the ignorant views of the public.

My brother would beat on his wife and had no repsect for women in general, he also did drug and was involved in gangs... he was killed 4 weeks ago, by a man who told him he need to stop beating his wife, will GOD forgive him?
I have forgiven him for ALL his sins, will GOD for give him? My family prays for him every day, asking god to forgive him, i hope God forgives him and lets him rest in peace.

On pretty much everything from homosexuality to believing in a different religion, I am wondering why people bother making judgements on something that doesn't really affect them....

Let's to take the gay issue..

Gay marriage:
If your marriage is strong, then how does that bother you?Nobody is going to force you to marry a gay.So, don't marry one and problem solved.

See, that was easy....What was the reason again to pass judgements about this???
