The average age of the world's great civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence:

from bondage to spiritual faith;
from spiritual faith to great courage;
from courage to liberty;
from liberty to abundance;
from abundance to selfishness;
from selfishness to complacency;
from complacency to apathy;
from apathy to dependency;
from dependency back again to bondage.”
-- Sir Alex Fraser Tytler (1742-1813) Scottish jurist and historian

Where in this process is the United States today?

You see, here it starts. Your words say that Islam is peaceful, but the actions show that it is not. This is why I say that the world believes that Islam is violent.. I know that there are exceptions, but how can you (muslims) ever be accepted as peaceful if you are associated with this type of actions.. ?? Isn't there something that the peaceful ones can do or can they change to another branch of Islam and be seperate??? Comments please on how to solve this ??

In West Bank attacks on four churches, Palestinians used guns, firebombs and lighter fluid, leaving church doors charred and walls scorched by flames and pocked with bullet holes. Nobody was reported injured. Two Catholic churches, an Anglican one and a Greek Orthodox one were hit. A Greek Orthodox church was also attacked in Gaza City.

A group calling itself "Lions of Monotheism" told The Associated Press by phone that the attacks were a protest of the pope's remarks on Islam.

If you've seen some of my other questions you may have noticed I have been doing some soul searching in regards to religion. My father is athiest and my mother christian, so I have heard both views as a child into adulthood. I was given the option to choose my own path in life. I am swinging toward atheism because it seems to make more sense to me, but from the fear of God which my mother has taught, it's like I fear MY decision? Has anyone every felt this way. We as people can be influenced even when others aren't really trying to influence. I don't know if I want to call it brainwashing, but it kind of is.

And PLEASE don't report me for "Adult content" or "Private Chatting" because you know it's a GENERAL question, not for "Chatting"!

P.S: I labled mine as containing "Mature", which is ALLOWED in 360 options. I'm just curious if you did the same.
---> BTW: I'm asking the question here, because:
a) I belong here! (22-Year old gay guy)
b) Because of the nature of the "Mature" content.

Another thing:
If you're offended anyway, by the content of my page, do NOT visit it, as the primary pic might be offensive to some people! And don't send hateful comments such as : "Get a life", or "Eww, that's sick!" because that won't affect me!

Quran 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"

How do you read this, in any possible context, and think "yea, this sounds like God"?

Is this the mentality waaaaay too many people have? Like if anyone points out that people aren't the same color they're racist. Wrong. To treat skin color as no more important than hair color is not being a racist.

For example people are getting all upset over the new Survivor. I don't watch the show because I'm sick of reality TV but it isn't racist at all. People who call it racist are borderline racist though. Does the show ever say "The Asians are going to win because they're smarter than blacks and whites."? No, it doesn't all it did was divide them up into skin color groups. How is that any worse than dividing them up into groups of eye color? If you think it is worse then aren't you kind of being racist? Being non racist means you don't consider skin color important at all, so let's all not be racist and stop freaking out everytime some one points out that some people are lighter colored than others.

I need a place to live.. I can't afford a roommate YET, but I've been kicked out of my house. I'm an adult.. going to college. My dad chose his stepwife over me, she's basically the wicked stepmother you've seen in all the old-disney classics.

Whatever, I got over it. I need a place to sleep. I have a car that I'll probably stay in for a while.. and finally found a job. It took a while though. I goto a community college right now, msot of my friends are at state colleges, so I don't really have anyone to rely on for lodging right now.

Just any insight I guess would be good. Kinda don't know what to do. I'm going to be selling everything I own basically for cash. The television, stereo, dvd collection, etc etc.

What a poor choice of words to combine, by the Bush administration. It's a contradiction in principals of both. It shows ignorance in separating the political from the religious practices.

My daughter is thinking, seriously, about becoming a born again Christian. I am agnostic and there for cannot advise her. She is almost 17, also she knows some, I don't know how well: ex BACs who have warned her against this sect, because within it's ranks are some rather unsavoury characters, they are forever quoting the New Testament and Jesus' name is used in every thing they say and they leave no room for open mindness.

Can you help her? Peace to you all.

If the Pope reads what is written in the Koran or what another person thought about it, why should Christians lives be threatened?
