What's the history behind the observance? It doesn't feel right to call it a holiday. Is it true you can be jailed for eating in public during Ramadan? How is it celebrated differently by different sects? (Sunnis, Shiites, etc.)

Atheists/Agnostics/Free Thinkers... What do you do to help stem the ignorance of religion (specifically Christianity)? I always point out blatantly stupid religious remarks in public, especially when they can be easily defeated by reason (which is most of the time).

leviticus 19:11- Do not steal. Do not lie. Do not decieve one another.
Now the meaning of this is gone.
even these
1 peter 5:7 Cast your anxiety on him because he cares for u.
many doesnt care for god's will and rules much anymore and disobey him.
for where 2 or 3 come together in my name there i am with them. Matthew 18:20
ppl dont work together anymore.
why doesnt god help everyone and get rid of evil?
i know we control our destinies and we wouldn't truly be free if he dictates each of us but he created us. is he going to stand there and watch in pain as each of his children go bad or is he going to do something about and wipe out evil and Satan?
and why doesn't he kill Satan? He can just put 1 finger on him and BAM he is dead. Satan is just a biatch. Is it because he is needed for hell? Cant he hire someone else?

Ok, so heres my question for the christians, ...
why is the idea of god himself, without an incarnate form, without a sacrifice, without a perfect blood offering, without any payment, incapable, or unwilling to forgive?
so many seem so thoroughly indoctrinated with the christian ideas... that the idea of god himself, being capable of forgiving by will alone, is unimaginable.
but why is this so? I know I have my theorys as to how these views came to be taught by the church, but how people actually accept this leap of rationale.
does it see just for people to be punished for eternity from the wrongdoings of one life?
does it seem loving to have such a scenario?
if you feel "the sacrifice" was "required" ... why would it be? I mean this is GOD here. whos keeping tabs on the books making sure each debt is paid?
wouldn't it be more loving, just, and rational, to simply require each person to do their best, repent, and then be cleansed, of sin, by will? Grace?

Do you believe that we live more than one life on Earth, and after we die we will come back as another human being, but with the same soul, just in different circumstances? I like to think this is true, because I think we all need to experience more circumstances than just the ones in this life. We should all get multiple chances to live our lives in different places, different circumstance, different people, etc.

If you are, could you explain to me why? Every Christian I have ever met has been a hypocritical, judgmental and down right mean individual. Every Church I have attended has been more concerned with collecting my money than anything. Don't get me wrong, I love God and all, but I just want to know why some one would blindly follow a religion which belives being gay is a sin...Something is seriously wrong with you if you look down on gays.

To all the Christians out there, This is a shout out! We as True followers of Jesus Christ need to exemplify his example! Jesus would not be calling people who do not beleive the same as us stupid, dumb, morons, ect. How do you ever expect someone to come to the saving knowelge of Jesus when you are doing the exact opposite of what he commanded!
WE don't have to agree with what they are saying but whenever people use language that directly conflicts with what Jesus tought they are being hypocrites and causing more harm to the gospel than good. If the defense is well they do it to us... they don't have an example to follow like we do. Be like Jesus folks and maybe more people can see the truth on this site

What is truth ?
The question was asked of Jesus Christ at his trial..and his answer...silence.
You see you are closer to The Truth in silence than by telling of Truth...for truth is endless ...
So what is the dark side of truth...how does truth lie ?
There are several ways...few of which are in your books....I call them anti-truths, but again the question how does truth lie ?
