does, so why are you so hateful and scared when you're around Muslims? I'm not saying all Christians act this way, but a lot of them do. Why are you so paranoid? And please don't say because of 9/11. That one's getting old! None of the kind of Muslims I know are responsible for the attack, so get off it already! That was done by fundamentalists, who are gravely misguided, and only make up about 1% of "Muslims." Enough with the paranoia, already. If you really want to prove you're good Christians, then practice what you preach, and stop calling us names. That is not Christian behavior. Peace.

What Benedict has said about Muslims is positively benign compared to what he has said about homosexuals.

Since homosexuals don't kill nuns, burn churches and just blow up people at random, I'm guessing they won't be getting an apology anytime soon.

I beg to differ....Here's an interesting stat: Not all Muslims are terrorists; however so far, ALL terrorists have been Muslims. Their own Koran instructs them to hunt down and kill any infidels (or non-conformists). I am a born-again christian who knows the truth of the REAL canon of scripture. Faith and trust in Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to heaven...not Muhammed (this just in....he's dead)

As a side note...I'd like to point out that as a Christian, my job is to proclaim the good news of salvation through Christ to as many as I can. If someone doesn't accept the message, I'm not going to behead them.....a radical Muslim will say, "convert...or die". You call that a religion of peace? I think not.

Im 20 years old and im attending college meaning for most of the day im around other "acedemics and scholars" ive just really begun to recognize that the "intelligent" people in this world don't believe in God, I consider myself to be intelligent in the way of science and such but im feeling like religion is begining to die. As we become more advanced science is begining to push out religion and religion isnt fighting back. I cant find a fellow religious follower who has anything intelligent to say in the face of science. Usually they just give some bible quote. Im starting to believe that the only people that are still in my religious boat are older generations who had religion driven into there minds and those who lack or refuse to accept the knowledge provided by science. I feel like the only scholar who actually thinks God exists. Is it time for me to just accept what seems to be so obvious to all the "smart people" out there.

In my home country, we are civilized. We have many technological advances not found here in America. Automated goat washing boothes on every corner, you get one pound of mud with every purchase of potatoes or milk, and compimentary salad bar at all public restrooms. When will stupid weak minded Americans catch up to rest of world with technology? We all laugh at Americans, they are so country style, no modern technology.

I have sympathy for most Arabs living in the Middle East, though my knowledge is limited it seems most are poor and uneducated. I was wondering who is to blame for this, since there is so much wealth in your oil. Why doesn't it get spread around to the common people? Do the government leaders hoard it? I do not believe it is the fault of the West, since we do not control how your leaders distribute your wealth. Shouldn't your politicians make sure their people are taken care of?

I'm having a problem and people keep telling me to pray.
I'm not sure what kind of prayer to use, but I have it narrowed down to the list below, please tell me which one works the best.

1. kneel and pray to god (the one in the bible).
2. Light a candle for the hindu god Krishna
3. Get a potion from a voodoo witch-doctor.
4. Carve my prayer in a stone and push a virgin into a volcano.

Please tell me which prayer has the best chance of working. Also do you have any evidence that would prove which one works more often? The reason I ask is because throughout history, there have been millions of people who have sworn by all of theses methods.

Thank you.

Or God loves you as long as you follow the rules? Or God loves us like we love our children? You know they don't listen but gotta love 'em anyway. If so, what's the difference between parental love and God's love?

Humas are sad; murder, theft, wars, ect. Espically the intolerence in the world. Why can't people just get along?! Who cares If I'm Christian, or you're Buddhist? Why does that matter?! So what If I'm blue, so what if you're orange?!

skin color doesn't matter, nor does religion. I wish the world was colorless; or people didn't have eyes.

I don't even know why i'm bothering to write this, obiviously the world is doomed!

In my city we have a once a year curbside junk collection where residents can place dicarded objects such as refrigerators, computers, furniture etc outside their houses and it will be taken away for land fill. Would you stop and take an object from one such discard pile if you needed it? For example, a chair or a bicycle in good order. Would you be embarrassed to be seen taking it, even though the owners don't want it?
