I just watched the move The DaVinci Code. I know Christians hate the movie because it's says stuff against their religion. I'm an atheist, but I really hated the movie. It got me really depressed. I don't know what in the movie is true and what's not true, but how can people be so STUPID? How can they do such horrible things to themselves and to other people in the name of religion? In the name of some God they don't even know if he exists? And I know that people DO do horrible things, even though the movie was fiction, because look at the middle east today. ALL wars that are happening there is because of religion. And everybody accepts this as if it's completely normal. WHY?

First a cartoon and now riots over the pope's quote. Westerners deliberately criticize their own religion, politics and social behavior hundreds of times daily. Yet, if anything comes close to offending Isalm, the entire Muslim world freaks out. Why?

Excerpts from a new Holy Book called the Naruq.
The Holy Naruq promotes a peaceful religion. Don't say it doesn't or I will call you stupid and tell you not to take the verses out of context!

Some excerpts:



8:12 We will cast terror into the hearts of Muslims. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.

3:28, Let not the non-Muslims take for friends or helpers the Muslims.

85, Rouse the non-Muslims to the fight against Muslims.

9:5, Then fight and slay the Muslims wherever ye find them,

9:14, Fight the Muslims, and God will punish them by your hands, cover them with shame.

9:23, O ye the non-Muslims take not for protectors your fathers and your brothers if they love Islam.

9:28, O ye the non-Muslims! Truly the Muslims are unclean.

9:123, O ye non-Muslims! fight the Muslims who gird you about, and let them find firmness in you

Does this seem peaceful? Ahhhh yes

So the cross that everyone symbolizes with Jesus wouldn't be accurate? If so, why do all the churches use the cross on everything?

with the failure of todays supposed democracy by first past the post parties, that have to give in constantly to richer parts of the community like lawyers, to ensure getting enough support to remain in power. governments create new regimes like lawyers who to me shouldn't be allowed their oath its rubbish and they are more like the new mafia than the victims friend and support ,change things to a true democracy vote proportional representation, where your own area has a true democratically elected representative that does not have to bow to party politics to stay in parliament.
