why do you consider yourselves God's choosen people?
Why is it that you had to have your own country, Israel, even though you knew there were people already living there?
Why do you have to have a church in the same exact spot where there is a Muslim church?

One has to be very careful in defining one's terms. Faith can mean many things to many people. The Bible (and therefore Christianity, if applied properly) doesn't use the term in the way you describe above. the most common synonym for the Biblical version of faith is "trust". One can say "I have faith in the President, that he'll do the right thing". This statement correctly uses the word faith, but doesn't fit into the "conclusion not based on material evidence..." definition. One makes the above statement based on his knowledge of the President's past choices, but it ultimately is a matter of trust. The Bible asks you to not believe blindly, but "test all things, hold fast to that which is good." (1 Thess 5:21) there is no objective test for God. But, there is no objective test where I worked in NY yesterday, just anecdotal evidence. By that I mean one cannot apply the "scientific method" of hypothesis, testing, data recording, and analysis to my claim of working yesterday in NY.

The pope made a comment about Islam saying that it was a violent religion. They respond with violence. Who else thinks Islam proved the Pope's point ?

Tell a closet gay man the moment you see them? Like knowing they are gay or having suspicions at first sight? Is there a hunch?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060918/ap_on_re_mi_ea/muslims_pope
"you and the West are doomed as you can see from the defeat in Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya and elsewhere. ... We will break up the cross, spill the liquor and impose head tax, then the only thing acceptable is a conversion (to Islam) or (killed by) the sword."

Islam forbids drinking alcohol and requires non-Muslims to pay a head tax to safeguard their lives if conquered by Muslims. They are exempt if they convert to Islam.

The above quoting the news:
With this kind of thing happening in the news almost all the time, how can it ever be peacefully resolved??? This is bigger than just the Pope's quote and I do not see a solution. It seems that the majority of Islam has declared Jihad against any non-muslim.. Do you see a way out or should we start paying the head tax??? What do you think..

As an atheist, I have no problem with others believing what they will. My problem is that most people believe what they do because they were told to. They haven't done the reasoning or research or thought it through themself to come to understand just what in the world they really are believing.

Any thoughts on this?

I apologize if I seem ill informed or racist for asking this question. However I am privy to the fact that there are differences in ettiquette between western and eastern cultures. My boyfriend is half Chinese and his family mostly goes to functions for his Chinese side and interacts with Chinese relatives. According to him his family is purely Cantonese.

I have already attended a wedding and its reception for his family. If a Chinese individual or an expert on the social norms of this culture would please provide tips it would be much appreciated.

what do you think of Jesus?
I mean ok, so you do not think he is the son of God, right? but do you still believe he was a good man who tried his best to get people to believe in God, who gave out good life lessons for people to live by? Do you give him any credit at all?

Please explain this to me and no rudeness, i am not implying anything and just want smart and honest answers.

Read carefully, and answer according to your beliefs.

Jews....If you saw a Palestinian child lying in the street, bleeding profusely and in need of help,what would you do?

Muslims....If you saw a Christian child lying in the street, bleeding profusely and in need of help, what would you do?

Christians....Buddhists....all others....If you saw the child of the person you murdered your own child lying in the street bleeding profusely, what would you do?


Myself, I am an atheist, and I would help anyone. No matter what.
