Given, it is wrong to be racist inthe first place.
However, I have noticed that when people make these racist comments about one another, the majority of the time they focus on the women and children and not the men.

I find it very interesting.
Why the women and children?

Now it is time for other churchmen to tell their Muslim counterparts that, in addition to dishing out criticism, they must learn how to take it.

The Regensburg lecture amounted to a Christian critique of the violence that is inherent in political Islam. However, rather than fall back on the politically expedient and customary detachment of Islamism from Islam, the Pope chose to distinguish between Christianity's reason-based European underpinnings and Islam's faith-based traditions centred also on literal acceptance of its texts. By implication, his lecture was also an attack on some of the more aggressively evangelical churches found in the US and would have been treated as such if the references to the Byzantine experience had been omitted. In arguing that violence was at odds with reason, the Pope was also tacitly repudiating some of Christianity's bloody inheritance, but this aspect of his lecture has been overshadowed by the furore over Islamic certitudes.

It might be an old story but are you aware that if your Chruch has a tax exempt status then it cannot have any sermons that the Government considers " Politically Charged " . I do go to Church and wasn't aware that the tax exempt tag came with the price of being silent about the actions of our politicians, one of the things that affects our life in a very direct way. How do you feel? THe link below is about a Church that made an anti-war sermon. Now wether or not you agree or disagree with it don't you think they should have the right to say it if they want to?

If the waring parts of the muslim faith put the same effort in to doing what people consider good do you think their following would grow?

I was curious as to the number of people who actually knew what Wicca, or Witchcraft for that matter, really is. This is for everybody, as I know that Non-religious, or Non-Pagan may be fully aware of what they are.

I mean. We have the Bible and thats the rules. Then Jesus comes along and says "Oh, many of those rules do not apply now". Was God wrong? How can he be wrong? He's God for God's sake. Now you have the New testament. Can someone explain to me how God was wrong about so much and how can the rest of the Bible be believed if we allready know it to be a flawed text.

Just now I saw someone use the phrase "get's on your last nerve". I've seen a professionally produced sign with "Hot Dog's" on it.

Do people really just think an apostrophe goes before any "s" at the end of a word?
