"How would you recognize the most evil person on Earth? According to many historical texts, you should look for a brilliant, enigmatic public figure who transforms the world for good--for a while. Basically, the last person you'd tap as Satan's human emissary. While many believe the Antichrist has come and gone, just as many believe he will soon arrive, if he's not already in our midst. Join us for harrowing look at an evil so obscure that he answers only to Satan. Real? Our group of prophecy believers and historical experts help sort it out. We follow the emergence of the Antichrist from pre-Judaic texts, through the Book of Daniel and Revelation, into Christian writings of the Middle Ages, and other religious traditions as well. "

I'm not necessarily talking about a good shower or doing 'good deeds', even though those are all fine things...

In Islam the woman marries the man of her choice. She may even marry someone that her mother and/or father objects to. The point is that it is the woman who makes the final decision as to whom she will marry. Once the man and the woman decide that they are interested in one another for marriage, a dowry is decided upon. A dowry is not a bride's price but, it is a gift from the groom to the bride. They agree upon a gift that is affordable by the groom. In the time of the Prophet (sas), often things such as livestock and money were given. This is a wise decision in the event that a woman becomes divorced or widowed, she has some financial security to fall back on even if it is for a limited amount of time. Once the man and woman are married, the man is required to clothe, feed, shelter and educate her (or allow her to be educated) in the same manner as he does himself.

It is accepted that the woman is the property of the man and what he does with his property is his own business. This perception is condoned in the major religions, including Christianity, Hinduism and Islam, in which religious texts are interpreted to justify male supremacy and the submission of the woman.

I plan on making it a parody of the BS Christ Cultist bible but have some good examples of faithless morality and scientific facts.

I haven't decided if it will be an Ann Coulter style kick to the groin of religion or a genuine attempt to bring some understanding of the Atheistic mind to their detractors.

I was leaning toward the later since it would have more of a chance to be read by Christ Cultists and other cults who insist on demonizing their intellectual superiors.

What do you think?

I'm Hindu, but it seems like if I indicate that I'm not a Christian, people just automatically assume that I am not religious, and do not believe in God. I am just wondering if that is a common assumption.

Every time I log on someone is complaining about the way black people talk or look or dress. What IS that? Are there just that many screaming racists out there that I've never met?

And by the way, if you start a sentence with "I'm not a racist but..." chances are that you are.

hit on men? Women, if you saw a guy and liked his personality and mannerisms, why not approach him. I realize a skant few do but it is far from the norm. Havent women progressed in this so called equal oppurtunity society. The burden is still on the man in many of the courting rituals. I really believe it would make the meeting process easier.
