a.Look into each and every punctuation of it.i.e:How people from 16th century treated Bible.
b."I get your point"+Some action.
c."The ___[Your belief] says No Sex With Minors" while you're doing it,but you sincerely teach this to your beloved son.For you think you should just know this stuff Only to pass it on to your offspring,it'd be Goooood if they really believe in it.

P.S:Why I ask:Recently I am reading this book by the 1930s writer Hendrik Willem van Loon entitled The Liberation of Mankind,it's mainly about how the humanity has thrived to achieve tolerance of all religions/ideas regardless and how throughout history they end up right the opposite.Sometimes I think of the saying."The only evil is idealism carried to the extreme",I think that might be the case.
And I also would like to hear what you think of the book and the author if you have some decent time to spare.

I don't understand why people feel the need to defend something they don't even think exists? How can you feel condemend by a God you don't beleive in or a heaven or hell that you consider a "myth"? Why spend so much energy defending something that innately you refuse to accept as a possibility?

I've barely seen anybody from a different religion....maybe some jews, wiccans, or muslims, but for the most part I feel like it's Christians against Atheists....would you agree? why do Christians only care about defending their religion against atheist and Atheists only care about defending their beliefs against Christians

At a party, what is better:

a. A person that talk nonstop about every stupid thing and comments with stupid replies, and everyone laughs or

b. Someone who's quiet and speaks only with thoughtout and clear phrases.

I know ideally somewhere in between is best, but just between these two, what's more pleasant? What's deemed more appropriate.

Europe had hundred of religions before Christians invaded and persecuted and destroyed temples and killed. In one instance in Germany king Charles ordered the beheading of 4000 Germans because they did not want to covert to Christianity. Currently Christians are trying to portray these peaceful traditional religions as evil and dirty; yet this is a lie. As the reason they were destroyed is that they were peaceful and were not prepared psychologically to protect them selves from vicious Christianity and religions. In Indian subcontinent Muslims were slaughtering Hindus for centuries. We now live in a world where Christians and Muslims are preventing proper education of morals, as they want to be the only education of values and morals. Thus they are the reason why there is suffering in the world.

Is the reason that the church has been overly ineffective lately because of the witchcraft we've allowed to come into it? I'm not talking casting spells over people, but more like manipulations among leaders, or coersing leadership to make bad decisions. And let's no rule out false prophets speaking "truth" into peoples lives. Uneducated or new Christians are easily influenced by people with power, and therefore swayed into making bad life decisions on what a "prophet" has told them. I've seen this happen, how about you?

My Dad was right - people change as they age. There are some things I was sure I would never do, but now I am doing them.

Things like changing my voting affiliation totally (why say from what to what and start an argument?). Or finding myself listening to country music (I was a big new wave fan). Or doing everything I can to avoid going to the mall, after spending years of my life hanging around there. Like not knowing (or caring) what's on TV. Or preferring a quiet few days at home to a vacation far away.

Do you have any similar stories?

“O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors” (5: 51).

In the light of this verse, can you say that Muslims and Christians should be friends?

The Qur’anic proscription is not general but absolute and, as such, can be restricted. “Time,” “is a great interpreter; if it determines its limits, it cannot be gainsaid. That is, when a matter becomes clear in the course of time, one cannot object to it. Moreover, if the judgment is based on derived evidence, the source of the derivation shows the reason for the judgment.”

father(Charlotte's Web) who takes his seven or eight year old son to the same lake in Maine that his father brought him to many years ago. I liked it as a 19 year old student, but I have grown to appreciate it as a father. It is about realizing one's own mortality. There is a point in the essay where the author can't tell if he is the father or the son, the two get joined together in remembering the past. As his son puts on his soggy water drenched swimming trunks he understands that the years have passed by and that he is that much closer to dying. It is a bittersweet recollection. Have you ever had the experience as a parent of taking your son or daughter back to a place where you used to go, but realizing that the years have gone by and that you can't recapture the past? Why is the word "a" deleted with a star? What kind of a letter purge is this. Is the letter "B" next. Is this Yahoo's version of Fahrenheit 451?

If you answered my last one then you will know what I'm talking about. I don’t consider myself annoyingly polite but I do say please and thank you, I do over tip, I say good morning or smile to people on the subway, especially if my eyes meet theirs, I may give up my seat for an elderly person or a pregnant woman on the subway, I hold the door for the person coming out behind me and I always ask the other people in the elevator what floor before I press my own floor button. And now here on answers I usually thank the "best answer person" and sometimes I will send a message, sometimes even to a person whose answer I didn’t chose but appreciated. The message is always the same "thanks for taking the time to answer my question I appreciate it".
Now is this too polite? Is this annoying?
Be brutal I can take it!
And BTW thanks in advance!!
