In acient times in order for religious leaders to maintain and keep people conditioned to follow and believe in religion; the idea of heresy and blasphemy was invented. Invented so that anyone who expressed a lack of belief, or expressed any type of point of view that showed that they did not believe in god or religion they were punished under both or either of these so called laws.
Do you agree or disagree with this idea?
Also a second question
Do you feel that the extreme religious groups would like to bring back both blasphamy and heresy in an attempt to ensure that people stay conditioned to believe in religion and hinder those of us who express our ideas and thoughts that go against it?

As we come to realize that despicable people operating inside and outside our own government pulled off 9-11 themselves and blamed it on Afghanistan and Iraq, we have to recognize that this is nothing new.Hitler used a similar tactic when SS men took over the radio station in Gleiwitz posing as Polish terrorists. That incident was used as "justification," the next morning, when 3,000 German tanks which just happened to be massed on the border rolled into Poland. The fraud came out in the Nuremburg trials.The Israeli attack on the U.S.S. Liberty was carried out with unmarked planes in international waters with the full knowledge and support of Lyndon Johnson. The plan was to kill everyone on board, sink the ship, blame it on Egypt and use the incident as an excuse to invade Egypt by the U.S.We now know that the "Gulf of Tonkin Incident" was a total fraud. No Vietnamese vessel attacked any American ship, although the American ships were firing on them.
Recently, politically oriented terrorists in England and Spain have planted explosives under passenger rail cars and then tried to blame the carnage on bombs in the backpacks of alleged terrorists. To head off a related right-wing coup in Spain, the citizens successfully organized a general strike.9-11 and the English subway bombing were situations in which "terror drills" were used as a cover for terrorist incidents carried out by US and British military and blamed on foreigners.The ugliest related incident in England involved a total innocent who was followed, trapped, shot eleven times in the head and lied-about. Video footage reveals he did nothing wrong or suspicious at all. British Intelligence just had some reason to wish him dead. He may have learned too much or have seen something.

What is the worth of a single Iraqi life?

The New York Times reported that during recent months a hundred Iraqis die violently every day, 3,000 every month. In terms of size of population, that is the equivalent of 300,000 Americans a month, 10,000 every day. Yet the typical television clip on the evening news -- an explosion, automatic weapon fire, dead bodies on the streets -- has become as much a cliche as the weather report or another loss by the Cubs. The dead Iraqis are of no more value to us than artificial humans in video games. The Iraqis seem less than human, pajama-wearing people with dark skin, hate in their eyes, and a weird religion, screaming in pain over their losses. Weep with them, weep for them?

Why bother?

Rarely do Americans tell themselves that the United States of America, the land of the free and the home of the brave, is responsible for this slaughter. In a spasm of arrogance and power, we destroyed their political and social structure .

People such as ‘whynotaskdon’ on Y! Answers keep quoting Verse 5, Chapter 9 of the Quran as proof that Islam promotes violence.
"But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is oft-forgiving, Most merciful."
[Al-Qur’an 9:5]

Because it makes you feel happy?
Because your religion promises you some reward in the afterlife?
Because of karma?
Because your religion teaches it?
Some other reason?

I'm ex army and college. I read a lot of books and I watch a lot of CNN. Every time I turn on the TV, All I see is destruction, and this breaks my heart. I even turn on the local news here in Dallas and I see all of the evil here, Houston, San Antonio, and all over the Nation. All I see and is pain and suffurage. All of this Iraq crap, and other wars all over the world. I know god spared my life in combat and helped me get over shooting the enemy in combat but man, all of this is unnessassary. Growing up I use to want to be a preacher but now Im numb. No love, no anger, just numbness. I haven't prayed to God in over 2 yrs, because I felt he ignored my prayers and wishes. I've learned to sew my feelings by listening to Morrissey and the Smiths, and I learned to harden my heart by listening to Tupac throughout the years. Why do we suffer. Why did my mother suffer until she was murdered at 25. Where was God the one she told me to pray to everyday. This is your GOD
