It's not really stupid thing to say, since Henry VIII did so with the Protestant Church when he couldn't get divorced. See... i know my history!!
It would be called Adoriasm, where the followers will adore me LIKE god, but they will pray to another God who is battle with all the other gods of the failed religions. Mwah ha ha ha!!!

You want examples, here you go. You asked for them. I hope you have the COURAGE to see the TRUTH about the Koran.
It's no longer a question about whether or NOT there are contradictions in the Koran. The question NOW is...why are there SO MANY???

Everyone quotes Leviticus 19:28, but it says "Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourself" To me this is saying to not put "memorial tattoos" on your body. And what about verse 27 that says do not cut your hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard? or 26.. Do not eat any meat with the blood still in it?

I recently read that German was the number 1 reported ethnicity amongst Americans. In fact, there are far more people in the U.S. who are of German ancestry than any other ethnicty. After reading this, I started noticing how many Americans have German last names.
I'm Canadian and Canada, of course, is another immigrant nation, just as Australia and New Zealand are. However, here in Canada, by far the most reported ancestry is English, followed by French, and then Scottish. In America, if memory serves me right, it's German, followed by Irish and then African American, and I beleive Italian or Polish is fourth.
Was there any specific reason why so many Germans came to the United States? It's really weird that two countries (Canada and America) could have such a completely different immigrant mix.
By the way, I'm 25% each of English, French, German and Dutch, so my mix is probably more Americanesque than most Canadians.

I'm raised in an athiest/ agnostic family, and I don't mind this. I myself am an agnostic, but I want to attend churches of different denominations, as I am open-minded and want to have the experience of going to church. I am not old enough to drive myself places, and i'm not even in 8th grade. My mom did this when she was younger, as her family moved to different places and tried many different churches of different denominations. I think this would be a good experience for me, but I don't think my mother would take me, and my dad definetly wouldn't either. what do i do? should I go? please, don't try to convert me online. Leave that to the REAL preachers.

I live in the city and I pay a good amount of rent for my apartment which I rented because I am allowed to have a washer & dryer in the basement. I purchased a nice washer and dryer and had them installed in my hook-up. My landlord does not live in the building. There is this creepy guy who lives in a one room apartment in the basement. It is an illegal apartment. He keeps me up half the night because his video games are so loud. He and his girlfriends are constantly using my washer and dryer all the time even though I have written him letters to stop. They even leave their clothes in dryer all the time. The landlord tells me to work it out among yourselves. 2 weeks ago I found a crackvile in the dryer and my baby's clothes go in that dryer. Also, my luggage was stolen from storage area. If I report this illegal apartment to the city, then the landlord will know I did it and I am afraid I will have to move. I am in no finacial position to look for a new place now.

What does it mean to be dead?
As a Catholic, I was taught and have come to believe that death of the body is not really "death", as "death" is permanent. We are taught, and I have come to believe, that there is life in the spirit after death of the body, and that the body will be raised again. Therefore, are the saints and Mary dead?

Ok, so i'm not a deeply religious person. I pray, go to church every once in awhile. But why do people feel the need to bash religion, or those who practice it? I mean just because you don't like or agree with something/someone doesn't mean you can't show respect...
...all religions that i've studied are beautiful, and peaceful. The teach tolerance, peace, and understanding. They appeal to the better parts of human nature (from what I've gathered). So I ask again, why the need to attack and/or belittle any established religion?

I'm tired of religion and personal faith being such a big deal. I wish I lived in a society where less destructive national policies and the advancment of knowledge were held in higher regard than stance on abortion and how much your faith in a divine being governs your life. I feel like my country is losing its grasp on reality and logic and there is nothing I can do to stop it.
