harmful to others. People keep telling me I'm wrong for not respecting the beliefs of others. Well, I didn't repect the beliefs of Osama bin Laden or the Spanish Inquisition, or the dope in Rome with the funny hat who contributes so much to human misery with his silly ideas about birth control and who teaches that women are inferior to men. Why should I respect a bunch of dangerous idiots?

well, I think the same reasoning can be applied to believing in religions. what do you think. why are people criticized for not believing when believers chalk everything up to free will.

I know it sucks losing your land and all, but do christians feel that north america should go back to Native americans,Ireland back to the Irish, Australia back to the aborigines, New Zealand back to the maroi. and so on? If not, then why the special privilage to Israel? Shouldnt wisdom dictate that its inapropriate for Israel to 'exist', and the Jews should just go back to germany and wether else they have been living for the past 1900 years and just get use to it like every one else?

Simply put, what emotion do you feel most often, other than the love you hold for your family?

Elaborate if you will please. Thank you.

Why does this God let people be born deformed? Why does this God allow so much hate? What good is religion if all it does is create hate and prejudice against other people with different beliefs?

Let's say before a football game, the anouncer desides he's tired of this lip service moment of silence thing and decides to lead a full blown prayer to the Almighty for the players on the field. Does this in any sense of the word "force" Christianity onto anyone? If you were in a Muslim country and they prayed to Allah before a soccer game would you feel your spirituality was in some way being threatened? I think it's rediculous. You only have to look at this site to know that words to do not amount to force. Every atheist and muslim on this site would be guilty of trying to "force" me to accept their philosophies. I recognize that not everyone in the U.S. is Christian, but the overwhelming majority of us are. In fact, most of the immigrants coming into America are also Christian so the ratio isn't going to swing anywhere in the future.

"CONGRESS shall make no law"

14th ammendment should make this apply to state legislatures, not community football games.

why do we have to accept Jesus to be saved even if we believe in God, if they are one and the same ?
God sent down his only son, right? so there are two different entities at one point right? So essentially even if it is at one point why do people worship two entites, regardless of whether they represent the same being? In this case 2 different beings cannot equal one
Why did Jesus(pbuh) pray and have faith? As Lord does he need faith? As Lord Jesus does he need to pray?
Nowhere in the bible does it say that Jesus said worship me
My Father and I are one. This statement is open to interpretation, some people say it means he is God, however it could also mean he represents the word of God
I do not recall the verse, but a man approached Jesus calling him good, and Jesus replied noone is good but the Lord
Jesus was a human being in the sense he had human needs, he had to eat, sleep, he needed care from his mother

OK here is the story to my questions and in the immortal words of the WSIDR - What should I do?

A small group of young Muslim men got together at lunch, faced Mecca and prayed. Someone complained (rumor has it the person was agnostic) and they were told they couldn't pray on school ground - it's a closed campus.
The parents of these young men came in to fight the desision by the school. They sited the Christians being able to pray at the lunch table (I would too)
Apparently the Christians had been doing this for a few years, and the Muslims thought it was a good idea and got together.
The Christians were told they had to stop.

One of those children are mine. Any advise.

I just saw on the History Channel that the Catholic church will ex-communicate you for being a Free Mason since they have always been enemies. Is this still true, or have things changed?

with the Islamic World Order? Also the most Holy Site of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is contested, so do you think the abomination of desolation standing in the temple is the 12th Imam (Mahdi) or the false Messiah?

Or does this have something to do with the beast that is, then isn't, then re-appears?

Iran's President says the hidden Imam lighted aura surrounds him when he speaks to the nations.

Is this the true mystery of our species? Photographs from the stone age clearly show Cave Women wearing enticing underwear, and there is all sorts of historical evidence that this practice was followed through out history to present days at the British Museum of Womens Panties on Bond St. in London. Why even Queen Victoria had a few secrets She passed along to this instituition; if it's good enough for Royalty and proven out in history isn't it time we just accepted Women wearing sexy underwear? You opinions please, would be most welcome!!

why doesn't god step in and help them. Please don't tell me god can cure the sick, but can't enlighten people who can't make enough money or know what to do with their money. If he could turn 1 fish and 1 loaf of bread into enough food to feed the masses, then according to teachings anything is possible. Everybody keeps saying free will as an answer to some questions.

Please don't use this out of convenience. It's a simple question which requires a relevant answer. Thanks. Have a great day!
