...not in an arrogant way but one that respects and observes all life and nature...My world is not anchored or influenced by religion of any kind. I was brought up in a country with little or no religous hang ups...Catholisim was offered at school 1 hr a week but we could and did opt out of it. My family are not religous for several generations in either direction. We never went to any church in any form....Religion was there but not obvious. We grew up on sport, family, nature and the sea....The local culture with their old religion explained well the culture and environment that they lived in prior to white intervention. A culture that managed and maintained the environment and prescribed the rules of the culture. Again it was there but not part of my life...I am not uneducated. I grew up alonside all creeds and faiths....
So I ask why cannot each faith see that they have common ground....Love, Respect of others. Care of the world, Tolerance. Understanding. So why fight each other?

Scientists have recently discovered that our universe is steadily expanding. You can read about this discovery at:
http://www.ncsu.edu/felder-public/kenny/papers/cosmo.html
http://www.astro.virginia.edu/~jh8h/Foundations/chapter10.html
As you know Quran was revealed some 1400 years ago, however it has a verse that says:
"It is We who have built the universe with (Our creative) power, and, verily, it is We who are steadily expanding it. (Quran 51.47)"
Scientists can only discover it now while Muslims knew it all these while. Your comments?

why get into a religion when you know you wont follow it to the book??? i hate people who call themself religious but they break the rules of their belifes..... like have sex without marriage, drugs, or any other things they cant do............. after all this they feel guilty and they go to church and pray for forgiveness.... (I always say if your going to follow some religion you have to follow the whole thing (belife) not just whats convinient for you......... the whole cake or non at all)..... thats why i dont follow any religion and that allows me to do what i want to do without feeling guilty at my self.... and that saves me the time to go to some church and pray for forgiveness.....*** believers pray for forgiveness and then they end up doing it all over again*** ........tell me what you think???

I do not see the Buddhist's, Hindu's, Christians or any other religion suicide attack - or cause riots when they are offended.
From what I hear and read i thought Islam is the religion of tolerance.

People keep saying "Go read what Paul had to say" or, "In Matthew he says." Ummm, first of all there is no evidence the original apostles actually WROTE those books. Secondly, there is no evidence they had any sort of divine inspiration other than saying they did themself.

Like this one that claims that male bisexuals don't exist.

I know penii don't lie and all that, but isn't arousal a matter of taste and not something that will come up, so to speak, for all people or situations? Basically they were in an unsexy laboratory environment watching someone else's choice in movies!
I could probably "prove" that many gay men aren't really gay by inviting them to my house, strapping Jack Johnson to a machine, and showing them a NASCAR race, which, after all, *I* think shows a lot of sexy men in snug fireproof suits.
What do y'all think?

Why does the world media ignore hundreds of years of muslim fanaticism history...?
and choose to only look at modern circumstantial evidence to appeal to emotional idiots who have no idea what this world would become if it were Dar-ul-islam House of islam? Why do rational people ignore the horror of islamic reality just coz they have issue with their own society and it's majority religion?
Yes, everyone does want an ideal non-violent world but how do we not choose the lesser of the two evils in the face of such blatant islamic fanaticism?

I think that any person breaking into a home should automatically lose all their "human rights" and as the owner of the house we should have free reign to use any force we desire to protect ourselves and our families. Lets face it the police dont give a sh*t unless the crime involves suppopsed "race" or "homophobic" issues or if you are speeding in your car.

Wouldn't he want to make man look perfect...maybe something of Brad Pitt standards?
and wouldn't he make Eve perfect too..maybe a Kate Bosworth-esque quality? (you all should know by now that I was going to say her)
Now on a related note..
Why doesn't God still make people? Why can't I give him a rib so he can make me a Kate Bosworth-esque woman?
