Why do Christians teach tolerance, but also teach everyone to spread the word of Jesus? That doesn't sound like tolerance to me. Why don't they leave people of other religions alone?

Ok, so I find it kinda funny that there are people out there who think that teaching your kids about God and taking them to church is child abuse???? that they need to decide for themselves when they're children and teaching them otherwise is child abuse?? wow, that means teaching your child what's right and what's wrong is abuse. teaching your child not to steal is child abuse. So teaching your child really anything that you believe is child abuse because you're focing your ways on them?? They KIDS!!!!! they need to be taught!! How is that child abuse?!

I have heard stories of the Chupacabra for 10 yrs. If you have never heard of this type this name into a search browser and see what it is. MSNBC just posted a story of a weird creature found in Maine a few days ago. I have to wonder if this is the infamous Chupacabra, and that it has just been an undiscovered species all along. You can go to the MSNBC website and see a picture of this weird creature. The way the eye-witnesses describe this thing, is almost the same type of description that people in Cuba have been giving for years. What do you think?

I mean when you think about it, religion has done more bad for mankind than it has good. For example: the Holocaust, the crusades, Al-Qaeda, the Palestine/Israel conflict, 9/11, the KKK, the Thirty Years war, the French wars of religion, and the colonization of Africa are just a few of the things that religion has brought mankind.

You tend to say it objectifies women, degrades them, etc. Let me ask you this:

Answer truthfully:
1. Have you ever worn a low-cut blouse that blatantly showed your cleavage?
2. Have you ever worn certain jeans just because they make your butt look awesome?
3. Have you gotten all dolled up, makeup, stilettos and short skirt, for a night on the town with the girls?

For those who oppose porn and answerd yes: Would it be a valid argument that these things also aid in objectifying women as sex objects? If yes, how do you support your views on porn as an objectification of women?

Further, what about the men? They're getting pretty dirty themselves. Why doesn't anyone make a big deal about the objectification of men? Are they somehow deserving of objectification?

FYI - I've seen several porn movies where the women are pretty damn rude to the poor guy and he's being barked at to "shut up and eat" basically.

Yes in recent years terrorist have been Islamic, and the majority of the fighting in the Middle East is done by Islamic people.
Just because the Western World happens to be dealing with fighting in the Middle East we don't have to characterize Islam as bad.
Yes Islam does believe in Jihad. But the Christians believed in the Crusades. If you want to compare the amount of people killed do to Jihad and the amount of people killed do to indoctrinating people with Catholicism, I think Catholicism would win. Let’s ask the Native American. Hey lets also ask Pope Innocent III one of the biggest tyrants in history.
I don't understand why people have not learned to stop stereo typing the countries they are in conflict with. Look at the way the US treated Japan during WWII. Now Japan is great, but during the war they were depicted as inhuman. I guess I am just sick of people giving opinions on the Middle East when they have no understanding of it.

I personally would not. I also would not adopt an idea of a God that would let his child be killed. What's worse, this creep let his son die for something the child did not even do. Is that why I'm not Christian?

If you are? . . . How is this 'choice' not cannibalism?

A definition for cannibalism in Webster's College Dictionary =
"The removal of elements from one thing for use in another"

Agnostic here, just wondering about some information, I have heard that the word God was put in the Pledge of Allegiance after World War 2. I don't know about the In God we Trust on money.

Did we have a pledge when the country was formed in the late 1700s?

Also, and I'm not entirely certain cause I'm just some guy in payroll I'm not some legal expert, wasn't there an Amendment to the US Constitution that was ratified by the neccessary number of state legislatures, that prohibits Congress from establishing a state religion?

I'm really curious cause you know, I wouldn't want to disgrace the founding fathers or Jesus or anything by being an American citizen and not going to church every sunday.

Thanks.
