My uncle used to have FREE Thanksgiving Dinner at his restaurant. You should have seen the gratefulness from those who came. And listened to their stories about how life had really kicked em in the butt. It would've brought tears to almost anyone's eyes.

Why does religion so often promote sexism? Why would you follow a religion that did this (especially if you are female)?

I know that there are quotes such as "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus" but there are also sexist parts of the Bible e.g. "I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet." - 1 Timothy 2.
If you do not reject any of the Bible, how can you let yourself agree with this? Do you actually believe this to be true?

I dont like guys that look like girls (chad micheal murray etc).
Johnny depp only looks hot if he has facial hair (p.o.t.c, from hell)
Not all guys can pull the clean shaven look without looking like girls. Guys with stubble or a beard are soo hmmmm.

one of the prophecies of the prophet mohammad(PBUH) says that islam will enter all houses in the earth before the day of judgement which means that at least there will be one muslim in each house and that mean that many ppl will convert so what you are doing now about telling lies about islam doesnt work?

GEN 16:1 Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had borne him no children. But she had an Egyptian maidservant named Hagar; 2 so she said to Abram, "The LORD has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my maidservant; perhaps I can build a family through her."
Abram agreed to what Sarai said. 3 So after Abram had been living in Canaan ten years, Sarai his wife took her Egyptian maidservant Hagar and gave her to her husband to be his wife. 4 He slept with Hagar, and she conceived.
When she knew she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress. 5 Then Sarai said to Abram, "You are responsible for the wrong I am suffering. I put my servant in your arms, and now that she knows she is pregnant, she despises me. May the LORD judge between you and me."
6 "Your servant is in your hands," Abram said. "Do with her whatever you think best." Then Sarai mistreated Hagar; so she fled from her.

Damn!He married her(Hagar, see verse 3), got her pregnant then didn't defend her!

One of the things I like to do in a club is to squeeze past girls and to gently caress their bum as I pass. Usually they dont even notice. Sometimes they look around but I've gone by then. Is this OK?

Citation from Megrelia 12:3 -
"Seek ye the destruction of the holy places, the sacred, the heretics who worship thy false Gods and spread Chaos on all lands. Purge the unclean, the believers who massacre for their God and spread their unclean texts to the world's door, show no mercy to them for they won't show any either."
Citation from Megrelia 2:21-
"You are human, the king, the leader of your own life, and believe not in Gods who slaughter for their false name, and visit not places of their admiration, admire not their followers, cite not their texts of domination."

about the re-issue of the 1939 Dandy Comic Annual. Yes it may contain 'offensive' and 'racist' language, but this was not the case when it was first published! Do you not think that these people should grow up! Personally, I think the book is just 'dandy'!!!!

Jesus was not son of god.
Heres what Allah says in the quran about Jesus, part3 from
verse 45: remember when the angels said
"oh Mary! verily Allah gives you the glad tidings of a word from him ["be!"-and he was i.e Jesus THE SON OF MARY] ,His name will be messiah Jesus,the son of Mary, Held in honour in this world and the hereafter and he will be one of those who are near to Allah."

(3;47) She said "Oh my lord How shall i have a son when no man has touched me?"
He said "So it will be for Allah creates what he wills .When he has decreed something he says to it "be" and it is."

(3;55)And remember when A llah said "oh isa(jesus) i will take you and raise you to myself and clear you of the forged statement that jesus is Allahs son .........

(3;59-61)"Verily the likeness of Isa before Allah is like the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust and said to him "be!" and he was.
this is the truth from your lord be not of those who doubt.

We have drawings of them in cities built by the Aztecs, and we have hundreds of stories about them in medieval Europe. Granted, most stories are usually a damsel in distress saved by a warrior, so the stories most obviously point to being false. Why is it, though, that we find dragons all around the world?

Dose it make sense to have peace and well being, while ripping each other to shreds based on religious belief? Are we, the human race, such fools for hypocracy? Is this what your G-ds want so bad?
