Last vacation my wife and me stayed at a Country Inn and Suites.
Accomodation was great blah blah blah...
Around 9 pm we decided to practice reproduction.
Thing is that the headboard was not properly attached to the wall, and an annoying banging was produced towards the next room.
Nobody complained.
At about 10 pm, the need for preserving the specie came again to us, so we started our job again... more banging, moaning, etc...
Again, luckily, nobody complained.
Okay, it's 11:30 pm and we don't feel like sleeping yet, so, while watching Conan, we get mushy mushy again and the banging starts one more time...
This time our "probably tired" neighbors start to punch the wall like maniacs towards us like the hotel was on fire...
Fortunately we managed to come anyways.
Questions:

Was our fault for being on heat?
Was Country Inn's fault for not attaching properly the headboard?
Was Country Inn's fault for constructing such poor walls?
Was the neighbor's fault for being awake?

How sad would war be? How horrible would poverty be? How amazing of a miracle would love be? All of this if only people believed in the life of others as their own life.

Like saying "To African-Americans" or "Men only"?

Muslims, pretend this isnt the Quran and ask yourself of this passage is a work worthy of the greatest power and intelligence in the universe:

8:12 "I will cast TERROR into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore STRIKE OFF THEIR HEADS AND STRIKE OFF EVERY FINGERTIP of them. http://cwis.usc.edu/dept/msa/quran/008.q...

Has it ever occured to you, that if God exists, and he can be insulted as you so often claim, then he would surely hate you guts for attributing to him a work which isnt worthy of a cheap horror novelist.

How about this:

"He (Allah) Who has, made for you the EARTH LIKE A CARPET spread out" http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/020.qmt.html#020.053

Muslims, listen close now...ok...THERE IS NO F***G WAY GOD THINKS, THAT THE BEST POSSIBLE COMPARISON ONE COULD MAKE TO THE EARTH WOULD BE THAT OF COMPARING IT TO A "CARPET SPREAD OUT!"

I SAY AGAIN MUSLIMS...THERE IS NO WAY...NO WAY....NO FRICKING FU*K** WAY GOD IS THAT STUPID...NO WAY.

0% CHANCE.

So, the media is reporting that David Copperfield bought some islands and apparently claims to have found the Fountain of Youth on one of them. Now, isn't this guy into illusion? So couldn't he realistically make it "appear" that insects and plants are coming back to life, etc.? Tell me what YOU think...

I ask this question to build on others in the debate on whether or not the U.S. government and the nation was founded on Christian principles.

References are made to the Pledge of Allegiance (to which the phrase "under God" was later added), the motto "In God We Trust" on our money, and references to God and natural law in documents like the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.

But why are folks so quick to claim that these references are "Christian", particularly when many of the "founding fathers" were Deists?

And why are documents like the Treaty of Triopli, which clearly states that the government of this country was not founded on Christianity, conveniently ignored?

If I say that I believe in God, does that make me a Christian?
I think not - and I think that many Christians will only reassure me of that fact.

Do Christians have some exclusive right to God?
I think not - but I know that some Christians argue that they do, through Jesus.

Regarding some Beatle lyrics:

"Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on?
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone
We can work it out
We can work it out."

Do you insist on YOUR way or are you a good compromiser?

Can the answer of the "why", destroy all the questions in our minds?
What would happen if we didn't have any questions?
Where does our thinking come from?

Questions?
Would no more questions mean suicide?

would the world be a better place if everyone with religious and non-religious beliefs followed oliver cromwells advice

"Think it possible that you may be mistaken"

does the christian religion disable its adherants from admitting they may be wrong? I know that as an atheist i find it very easy to admit i may be wrong.
