So I just wrote this new gospel according to me. And I'm sure I was inspired by god while doing it, because I felt kind of funny(although, come to think of it it could have been that 3 bean burrito... oh well)
Anyways I was wondering who I should send it to for editing, so they can include it in the next edition of the bible (they're still printing those right?). I was thinking maybe the pope...but I'm open to suggestions.

I'm 23 yrs. old and had to take a dump at work real bad yesterday afternoon. My boss was peeing in the urinal but I don't think he saw who it was (myself) that came in. He was facing the wall. i sat down and farted alot right away and it was LOUD! This was real embarrassing but maybe he didn't know it was me. Has anyone else experienced this?

"I have not heard Muslim leaders come out and condemn those Muslims who commit mass murder in the name of their God. If they are truly relegion of peace this is the time for them to speak."

The pope was right to say what he has said and
for such a peaceful religion the followers of Islam have a tendency to use “the threat of violence” when they don’t like what they hear.

If Muslims were as quick to publicly condemn the suicide bombers who cowardly kill and maim in the name of Islam, then maybe we'd start taking other things they whinge about more seriously.

Its ok for Islam to print, say and spread anti christian and anti semetic propaganda. As soon as someone writes a book, says anything or even draws a cartoon even remotely anti Islamic, the death threats and the bombings and the looting and sacking of embassies etc starts.

Here we go again! Dare to say anything which could be construed as criticism of Islam, and the usual bandwagon of vilification and hatred gets underway.

Why not wonder "why do people see us in this light; why do people say such things about us?" and seek to change perceptions?!

By giving the usual reaction, Muslims merely reinforce the stereotypical view - it perpetuates the vicious circle.
With all the ongoing crisis in the middle east, as far as I can see, the quote makes a valid point.

If Muslim world's anger can simply be aroused by a quote, it's probably time to get some anger management.

I am DEEPLY tired of the islamics throwing their hands up in horror every time someone even remotely criticises their religion, and yet they feel it is okay to savage anyone (figuratively and literally) that is not of their faith.

Tolerance works both ways; if they want non-islamics to accept them, then maybe they should try to accept that not every living thing wants to be a muslim.

'No real effort to understand Islam'. Oh boo-hoo-hoo. Since when was the onus suddenly on everyone else to understand Islam? People make judgements based on what they see and experience over time. What else is there to understand? Sounds like a spoilt teenager wailing 'no one understands me, I'm so special and unique'. Why doesn't Islam make more effort to understand why a fair number of people dislike it so much?

Instead of Muslims attacking the Pope on his statement, they should be stopping the terrorist groups etc. Why can Muslims sit back and say nothing about attacks in the west but shout with anger when someone questions there way of spreading Islam. Moderate muslims have to choose the sword or democracy there is no in between.
Simple question: Do records show that Mohammed did say something along these lines? Given how he behaved, the answer is probably yes.

Yet again, Muslims are trying to rewrite their own violent history, shutting down any *factual* discussion of history by pretending to be offended rather than countering arguments with facts and getting us to give up our own valuable freedom of speech.
I am not surprised that the Muslims are complaining, all they do. Even historical quotes seem to ruffle there feathers. Yet when they say anything about Christianity or the West we just sit there and take it.

They can only dish out criticism not take it.
How about all the scum that rant and rave on our streets about how evil the West is and openly rejoice in the events of 9/11, retract all their statements?

Once again the Muslims/Islam are having another cry about some words someone has said. This shows how weak Islam is as a religion, say or draw something and they get upset BORING. My faith and beliefs in my own religon transend any petty words or drawings....
Time for Islam to grow up and become part of the world community that we live in....

He was mentioning an historical fact. Islam is the only world religion who's so called "prophet of peace" spread his word by the sword. Did Jesus or Buddha ever take up arms and resort to violence? No. Any religion that leaves room for interpretation of violence, justifies suicide bombing and advocates the repression of women cannoty be viewed as a religion of peace. If Muslims wish us to view thier religion as peaceful then they need to learn tolerance of other views and stop their murdering.

Surely Islam's ridiculously disproportionate response to things such as this and the Mohammed cartoons will only tarnish Islam's image yet further?

For heavens sake. The muslims are upset AGAIN. Are these people really that childish and insecure that every single comment upsets them.
Wouldn't it be so nice to have even a couple of days out from this constant whingeing. What offends most here is that our lives are constantly dominated by this nonsense. Why don't these people grow up?

This nation has become even more divided when it comes to spiritual beliefs. With the influx of technology and knowledge, we have people who either live by knowledge or make up their own. Who will take over D.C.?

This might not be too serious to pray about but I really need a lot of prayers to get through this dilemma. My family will be moving to DC area. I was thinking if I should go back to school and continue my Nursing degree. Yes, I'll be making more with that career but I really want to be a Nurse to help people the most. Then I was thinking I should work and take online classes (I'm already taking online classes for Health Care Management) so I can help contribute towards the family. I've prayed to GOd and asked Him to help me decide or to give me a sign on what to do. I really do appreciate your prayers and uplifting. Thank you everyone and God bless :)

We all have just found out that we no longer have a planet called: "Pluto". God did mention this, in his Word. Chapter called Rev. with no more moon. Just makes me wonder about our end.

Religion is a big issue today. I'm affraid to walk near tall buildings, and affraid to take a metro, and affraid to get in to flights. Since i cannot stay in my house fully loked ,its become my issue now.

Religion is based on two stupid books written when there were no proper science. So its a fairy tale story. Why the majour gournments allow this stupid religous activities around the world. Why thay do not take actions to stop such activities.

Why the pope is putting feul into the fire like me.
CALLS FOR APOLOGY
The New York Times said in an editorial the Pope must issue a "deep and persuasive" apology for quotes used in his speech.

"The world listens carefully to the words of any pope. And it is tragic and dangerous when one sows pain, either deliberately or carelessly," it said.

pope is a careless edi0t who needs to get the god attention and replace with a smarter edi0t to continue the company called " Christianity "
And I would love to hear the Allah hu annous

when you enter a church and see statues of Jesus and Mary, do you feel like you are worshiping it? and does that break the one of the 10 commandments?

If someone states something that is a statistic(one that has been studied and proven) do you hold it against them as a generalization or do you take it into serious consideration?
For instance the majority of rich people happen to be white. I agree that saying something like"Only white people are rich" would be racist and an incorrect generalization ,but where is the line that separates ignorance and evaluated statistics?
