Try to find one incident where this happened in over 6,000 years of recorded warfare. So, why should we believe Mr. Bush and his friends? It's gotta be more than because they said so.

Let me get this straight, if a person who is christian kills, rapes or does some atrocity - goes to church to his priest and into the confession box, says 'father i have sinned....' the priest says 'say so many hail maries and your sin will be forgiven'. Isnt he a sin eater and isnt he the one going to go to hell for all the sins which HE himself cleanses off the people who sinned? (while the real sinner gets off scot free and ends up in haven). If this is true, then no wonder there are so many crimes in the world. Am I right in this assumption?

My father in law and mother in law "appeared" to live without sin. They had perfect social skills. They always knew what to do and what not to do, what to say and what not to say. And that caused me to wonder --- Is what we think of as "sin" just poor social skills? To kill is a "sin." Why? Because the killer just has poor social skills? If he or she had better social skills, would they have known that killing is not a good idea in our society? So, is "sin" just an expression of "poor social skills?"

Agnostic here, not trying to convert anyone.

Philosophically, what is wrong with a religious person telling people that if they don't believe as the person does that they will go to hell? Is there anything wrong with this warning?

Limiting this to the verbal aspect of it, and assumeing they are saying it to an adult, not a child, is this acceptable protected speech in America?

I'm not talking about when Christians go and do bad things like kill Ryan White because he was a homosexual, or try and ban gay marriage because of Romans 1, or try and blow up an abortion clinic, or try and say jesus is the great philosopher and then become President and order men into war. Clearly religious and non religious alike kill or try and legislate the way they feel, havent seen any non christians trying to ban gay marriage but heh, not a lot of atheists blowing up abortion clinics.

Your thoughts?

than schools....

Blacks make up 10% of the population yet more than 50% of the prison population.

I believe we have a biased police force, drug laws, and justice system and we still live in a very racist society - it may not be as blatant as 60 years ago, but we are swimming in subtle racism every day.

what do you think would fix the justice system and the prison problem in California/USA?

Please give reasons why you do. My reason is because I have come to realize that I can't depend on anyone. It seems that when I try people always let you down. How do you deal with this and how do you get over it? My friends say that I'm too closed off and that I never let anyone in. I just don't want to be judged. Shouldn't we all go with our instincts? When do you consider it a problem?

If so, do people also need to admit their transgression before I forgive them?
Mat 18:15
"If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother.
"But if he does not listen {to you,} take one or two more with you, so that BY THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY FACT MAY BE CONFIRMED.
"If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.

Does the Christianity being taught today reflect this or to just forgive no matter what?

The Jews are the only people in the world who have found hostility in every country in which they settled in any numbers.

The Jews claim that they are "only" a religion. The truth is that the Jews are a RACE. Less than 30% are members of any Synagogue. Whether they are Orthodox religious, atheists, capitalists or communists - they still claim to be Jews - members of the Jewish race! Every race has inherited traits. In the case of the Jews they include trading, money-changing, usury, and a loathing for "productive labor" which is scorned as beneath the dignity of the Jews in their "bible" called "THE TALMUD."

Their questions only help to stir up more hatred against them. If they hate mexicans, blacks, asians, and arabs so much then why ask question after question about them.

Isn't it about time we put all 'religious' people into rockets and blasted them off earth to meet their god? I mean,they can't wait to see it(whatever it is) and are prepared to kill other people to get there...so why not f uck off now you religious types and leave sensible right minded people(that don't believe in 2000 year old fairy stories) to get on with this, and the only life, we ever get.
Obviously, the rocket could explode 10 feet off the ground.You've shown your god that you were going and he's sure to want you in 'heaven/valhalla/nirvana' so why not go now and let everyone else get on with being 'real'.
