Why is a Kafir considered to be unclean, and in the same category as urine, feces, semen, a dead body, blood, dogs, pigs, alcoholic beverage, and the sweat of an animal that eats unclean things?

Jehovah's Witnesses refuse to join the armed services and participate in politics.
If there is a draft, will Jehovah's Witnesses be excluded because it's against their religion?

The "Once and Future King" of Britain is said to be sleeping, waiting to return when his country needs him.

Considering the fact that this country has descended in to a complete shitehole, overrun with crime, rampant immigration, hardly any ood jobs, Muslim fanatics trying to blow us up, incompetent government, high taxes and basically the ordinary British bloke in the street getting a raw deal (unlike al the scroungin asylum seekers who get free housing and benefits) don't you think its time he returned to kick some a*se?? This country needs him now if it ever did!!!

Do you feel self righteous indignation or do you feel compassionate understanding?

In his most recent speech he made reference to what another pope had said, the muslims are crying and ranting again. Do you think it was all that bad or truth.

The problem is the lower level guys, they call me Gay Mariotti behind my back and scoff at my articles. On their bulletin board, they put pervese pictures of me with the help of photosho (I won't get in to it). I feel they are jealous because I am an all time sports writer for the newspaper, and because I am getting a well deserved raise while they are getting layed off. They accuse me of being arrogant because I called them insignificant people when I introduced myself for the very first time. My interns are rude to because I make them do tasks such as get my drycleaning, be my footrest, or pay my parking tickets (all fair tasks in my opinion). How can I get them to stop being rude and chidish to me?

would you believe that God saved your life and let everyone else die? Or - would you believe that God took everyone else home and left you behind?

Susan is a mute and is slighlty menally challenged - unable to speak at all, so her adoptive parents decided to teach her sign lanuage. It was tough at first but she caught on quick enough & was able to indicat her desire, (food, bathroom) her wants (her fav. toy, play time) etc. Once she was older her parents put her in a "home" in which she bonded with another woman named Penny.

Susan later in life got pregnant & miscarried which was traumatic for her. Shortly after, Penny became pregnant and had to go on materinty leave - leaving Susan alone.

She became withdrawn and hated all the other caregivers. When Penny returned Susan snubbed her until Penny had to sign to her that she too lost her baby. Susan signed to her "You are sad, come here and I will hug you" Obvisouly showing that she understood what had happened to Penny.

This is a true story. Now what if I told you that Susan's real name is Washoe & she is a chimpanzee that was raised in a loving home in suberbia by scientists

Given that over more and more questionning, people aren't even attempting to defend the concept of an infallible bible...
see:

(Either people aren't even answering, or they're trying to change the topic with their answers)


Anyway, can we agree that the bible is a book of Christian teaching that some believe to be the Word of God (caps for respect), but that any claim that said book is infallible is simply indefensible?


(The Bible may have some great teachings, but the concept of its prefection can be ruled out by historical fact)

I'm quite curious to see what can be said about this. First of all, in what language was the Bible revealed in? And secondly, if the Bible is actually the true words of God, then surely, shouldn't it be NOT changed or altered in anyway?

I'm not talking about translating it into different languages. I'm talking about the actual words of the Bible being changed. How do we know what the true word of God is, when it can be changed/interpreted in different ways, and when there are many variations of it?
