I asked a question about whether it was time for the non religious to get more organised to have stronger voice. One answer I got was :

"LOL. how much more of a voice to do want? America is currently plagued with homosexuality, abortion, promiscuity, provocative dress styles.... shall I go on? Seems to me that Satan's voice is being heard loud and clear in America and really across the world."

gueroes

Why the need for this nastiness. i am non religious and would never be as nasty as this to somebody.

BTW I personally have nothing against homosexuals but the person quoted obviously has.

Personally i try to be good not out fear of punishment nor hope of reward but out of common sense, decency, empathy and education.

Does this really make me a bad person ?

With due respect to our cultural beliefs, I am airing a serious problem prevailing in our society, that, aspiring brides and grooms with a mangalic tag are considered disqualified for no fault of theirs.

This system should be widely discussed and eventually be removed from the specifications for a suitable bride and groom. Lives of many youngsters are devastated because of this system.

I request Indian people to do away with the mangalik tag.

And then 2 seats on their own free up, do you move or stay where you are?

If you move, both of you will be more comfortable, but it still feels rude somehow. I find that people tend to stay put in these situations, although everyone thinks about moving...

Why do we do this?!

Ok, ok, will the real Charlie Crist please stand up ?
I know nothing about this guy and tired of hear say.
What is the truth about Charlie Crist ?
What are in fact his issues? I want factual proof and back up, not accusations to answer these questions.
Dose anyone know what Church he belongs too ?
Dose he in fact support Israel ?
What about Affermative Action ?
Dose he see people as people no matter what color, race, religion, or what ever, or is he a bigott in sheeps clothes ?
I want facts, facts, no accusations..
Please, Florida people only.
Thanks..
I know I may get a million and one answers here, but come on, I live in this state and love it.
What is the truth ?

A second chin perhaps? I would appreciate it if the answer is identified as formal, informal, offensive or innocuous/pleasing. I am looking for an answer that is innocuous/pleasing.

Even though we know some thing is wrong. We could not stop doing that or stop our beloveds from doing some wrong things. Because we love them so much we either could not stop them or just keep our mouth shut.

Is this right to be like that

................well this highly complex designer is far to complex and perfect to just exist and must have been designed himself (according to intelligent design logic )

So who designed the designer.

to say "he always existed" goes against the theory of intelligent design itself.

The non religious / atheist / secular group is much larger than many other groups . Isn't it time these people got organised began to speak with one stronger voice.

Here are the worldwide stats

Christianity: 2.1 billion

Islam: 1.3 billion

Secular/Nonreligious/Agnostic/Atheist: 1.1 billion

Hinduism: 900 million

Chinese traditional religion: 394 million

Buddhism: 376 million

primal-indigenous: 300 million

African Traditional & Diasporic: 100 million

Sikhism: 23 million

Juche: 19 million

Spiritism: 15 million

Judaism: 14 million

Baha'i: 7 million

in the US for example this grouping represents 14.1 % of the population much more than say Judaism and Islam yet exerts much less political influece than these 2 groups.

Wasn't it Bush senior who said atheists shouldn't be even considered citizens or patriots.

It always used to be Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

If people say Happy Christmas, Merry New Year just doesnt sound right.

My fiance was raped when she was 17 by three different men after being given the rape drug. It has been 6 years now. I didn't knew her when it happened, her parents didn't lay charges and are dead now. 2 of these men still live in our town and have wives and children of their own. I would like to kill them but made a promise to her that I wouldn't. I'm there when she has nightmares, I see her tears, her pain, her trembles. I can't take justice into my own hands 'cos then she'll be all alone again. Do you think these bastards will pay a price for what they did? If I had my way, they would be put through the same terror she went through. What do you think?
