some Americans say that the "U.S. army/military is fighting for the country's freedom"?

I wasn't aware someone was trying to take freedom away from Americans. So then, how does one arrive at that conclusion?

This is a serious question. I'll appreciate a serious answers.

Thank you.

Why do so many right wing evangelical protestants support the war with Iraq? How many more American soldiers will have to die to make the religous right happy?

It amazes me that a lot of the religous right support this war, even though the Iraqi gov't is anti-semitic!

Okay, it's hard to explain, but I really did myself in. I called a friend that moved to South Carolina, which is four states away. Anyways, while I was on the phone with her, I was cussing my *** off and then let slip about a lighter I found outside in the school parking lot. I had given it to my friend because she claimed to know a cool technique with lighters. She kept flipping it on and off and a spark hit the teacher's shawl. I just slapped at it and that was that, no trace of anything. Here's where the sh!t hits the fan, her mom was eavesdropping on the conversation! She calls me back and tells me I'm never allowed to call her daughter again, but she actually thought I was moking in class! That's worse than anything I've ever imagined.

I was watching a dateline show with down-low brothers meaning gay men who sleep with men and lie to their spouses about their sexuality. "MOST OF THEM WERE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR OWN SELVES! HELLO?! Why weren't you more worried about infecting your spouse than yourself? If they so-called "love their wife" you wouldn't leave her with a death sentence. I was soo turning off with one women who had sex for the first time and ended up with AIDS by her man. Turns out he was sleeping with men, then denied it, called her a slut and died of aids. He was very selfish. I just wnat to know why don't they think things through before they play with women's lives???? I can understand life not accepting gays, I have experienced that.(bisexual) but I would not want the conscience of me infecting my partner hanging over my head.

I have been insulted for my buddhist beliefs many times, even after trying to convince people it was mean and wrong. However, I noticed that christians did it far more than atheists. How can christians claim that atheists are the instigators when a third party has been criticized and mocked far more by christians than by atheists?

Post Note: I am not saying christians are better or worse than atheists.

Muslims and their Christian supporters fail to realise that they are given a King's Version of Quran that is like the King James Version of the Bible, and with the same trickery.

If men think they are intelligent and pious, why dont they admit that the insertion of Jesus and Jews and Christians in their reading of the Quran is blasphemous and intentionally malicious?

For Muslims to falsely insert fictitious characters into the Quran it makes them into Infidels, according to the Words of the Quran, for he who judges by other than what Allah has revealed is an infidel, and the Bible is not revelation from Allah.

Allah says in Quran that there was a trick to the crucifixion and all that come with the trick are extensions of the trick, and this makes the Bible and Jesus and Christianity all extensions of the Hoax Of The Two Crucified Thieves Jesus.

Will Muslim and Christian scholars ever admit their balsphemy and repent and amend?

One Honest English Translation Please?

Have you noticed when a news show sets down with a corporate executive or politician and asks specific questions, he or she will beat around the bush, double-talk, or just flat out not answer the question?

For example, Dateline NBC interviewed McDonald's COO if their change in their menu was caused by the recent lawsuits. He said no to that, but when Stone Philips asked him if their french fries were the cause of so many obese people, he then said that he eats (can't resist) their fries and that their food is fine to eat if people just increased their excercising activies (new advertising campaign so says Dateline NBC) and eat in moderation -it's not good to eat too much of anything.

Why are they so worried to answer a question directly? They act like they are on trial, and they don't want to incriminate themselves. What is your view on all of this?

Gee, I actually care about the environment, so I must be an idiot. ********* who use the term "tree-hugger" as a derogatory term need to be tied to one of the trees they say can't be hugged, and then hung from it.

PEOPLE!!! This "down-low thing" has been going long for centuries!!!! Everybody did it. It not a racial thing! You shouldn't be just alert of "borthers" but be alert of ALL MEN!! I just don't understand the shock! There have been gays in every race. I'm bi-curious and I wouldn't lie about my sexuality. I would tell them and if they didn't want to be with me, to hell with them!

A friend of mine just recently found out that she had chlamydia, she tried to argue the test findings with the doc as she has NEVER had sex with a man before and does not share or even use "toys". Thats when he informed her that the disease can be spread oraly. So if you go down on some one who has it, then kiss them, they could give it back to you(down town). Or you could pass it to your next partner and so on. There aren't really any oral symptoms, so you could cruise around with it for a while. I'm sure most of you know this, but I didn't and found it interesting(and frightening) so I thought I would pass it on.

LET ME CLARIFY.

I WANT to follow Pascal's Wager. I KNOW that it would be a better idea to just force myself to believe, be religious, and faithful to God and if I'm wrong nothing happens, but if I'm right I get into Heaven.

But I just have trouble FAKE believing. I just CANNOT force myself to believe. I just think it is so fake and hypocritical and everything like that. God defies my common sense and rationality. So it's my loss, fine, I go to Hell supposedly.

BUT MY QUESTION IS, obviously God created me this way. God made me so skeptical that I cannot possibly believe in things just because other people do it or some old book says so. If He really is omnipotent, He KNEW I would turn out this way.

So have I ALWAYS since birth been destined for Hell? Is there anything I can do? Will He forgive me and send me to Heaven because HE MADE ME THIS WAY? To the theists: Should I have just been aborted instead of wasting everyone's time (lol)?

Thanks for your responses!!!

Basically, I am a wanna-be Christian. I am 99.9% atheist because I basically don't believe in God. But like I said, I'm a wannabe Christian...do you think CCC will help me? Or turn me away from God. The Bible actually turned me away from God, because I just found some many contradictions and things I could not believe.

I'm kind of in a place when I just really need a God to believe in...

Have you actually ever read the bible? I'm just curious as to how any self respecting woman could consider herself a christian. Are you aware of what christianity and your "god" truely think of you? To put it simply, you're property and you should shut the hell up, obey and surrender and submit to the will of men. And there's plenty of qoutes and versus in the bible that prove that's the case. So if you actually believe the bible is the word of "god" then you're excepting the fact that you're at the bottom of the christian hierarchy and your ownly real purpose in life is to serve men and bare their children.

So to all self respecting woman who call themselves christians, I ask again, have you actaully read the bible?
