Doesn't this new barrage of pollitcal correctness irritate you so much? Its all seems so unneccary to me. Il flame the politically correct further when I've chosen my best answer. They want to stop religion in case it offends other religions? Good grief!

This gets asked of atheists all the time. "Why don't you kill yourselves? You have nothing to live for?"

I say the opposite is the case. I have EVERY reason to live, as I'm not going to heaven afterwards.

So I ask you, if you believe you're going to heaven afterwards... why do you not wish for death every single day?

Fifty years ago, even ten for that matter, there was a much lower percentage of fat people. Do you think people are fatter today because of advertising, fast food, lack of willpower, lack of exercise, chemical pollution, unnatural foods, stress or what?

Obviously some people are overweight because of medical conditions, but they are a small minority. For most of us, there is some other reason. I'd appreciate your thoughts. What do you think?

I understand the spreading the gospel thing and glorifying the god. But isn't the ultimate goal of Christianity to hurry up and die?

Isn't that why most of the cults kill themselves?

Seems a little.... well.... I don't want anything to do with it.

I previously asked a question about the 99 names of Allah and was directed to a website by a respondee:
http://www.luvu4luv.com/99names.html

It explained what would happen if you recited one of Allah's names as follows:

Al Ahad (The One) = Reccitation of this name 1000 times opens certain secrets.
Al-Awwal (The First) = Recitation of this name, 1000 times for 40 Fridays will help in getting a child.
Al-Hakeem (The Wise) = One who recites this name continuously will prevent him from the difficulties in work.
Al-Haleem (The Forbearing One) = Write this name on the piece of paper and put it where the seeds are sown, this will prevent from any disaster and calamity.
Al-Jaleel (The Sublime One) = One who writes this name on a piece of paper with musk and saffron, washes it, and drinks the water from a ceramic container made of earth, will be revered among men.
Al-Muhsi (The Recokner) = Recite this name 1000 times will have easiness on judgement day.

Ok. I have this question... I see many people answering stuff and adding the "God Loves you" "Jesus Helps" and other such phrases...
I think its ok if you believe in whatever god you believe. Some people are Christians, some are Muslims, Hindu or any other religion....
But I really dont understand what God has to do when a girl asks what to do when her father beats her, or how can Jesus help you when your girlfriend cheated on you???
I mean cmon on people... Religion is a personal choice so stop using it as panacea to anything you see...

CNN had a story yesterday about the different health care available to Sunni and Sh'ia in Iraq. If a person were to show up at a hospital, how would they know the difference between the 2 sects? Do they dress differently? Speak w/ different accents? etc.

There were several programs on TV recently on different channels about the roles of women in Islam. (And that caused me to watch too much TV, BTW.) One (BBC) concerned women and children and the regeneration of the Taliban in Afghanistan (and N Pakistan). Another (DIS) concerned women and Sharia Law in Saudi Arabia and then there were two more (one called "Last days in Iran" or paraphrased). It was about Zara Maleki, a photo journalist born in Iran but living in Canada, who was arrested and killed by torture by the Iranians while she was there to visit her family. I hope you get to see them. I wish they did not instill a feeling of dread in me. But after viewing them and sorting thru the implications (which was not the editorial purpose of these very PC programs), I am even more convinced that the struggles with Islam will be long and hard. If people worldwide do not awaken and realize how evil the fundamentalists in this religion are then much of the world will succumb to them and all their repressions. I wonder how a religion that some practitioners genuinely and candidly believe is 'peaceful' and worthwhile has been hijacked so completely by an evil faction? And why do they not comprehend this at some visceral level and react to correct and expel the errant teachings of some? The problem seems to me to be that the truly moderate practitioners of 'secular' Islam ( for instance, an Iranian woman who follows Islamic teachings and loves the Quran but does not want nor does she wear a burkha, nor is she repressed by Sharia Law) do not recognize the danger to their lifestyle that is a part of Islamic fundamentalism. And not only will they not recognize and demand that fundamentalists cease and desist their unlawful practices, but they will indirectly support them with contributions and rhetorical support and even ally with radicals against people who do point out, condemn or even criticize the fundamentalists' factions, much less fight them openly. A big problem is that fundamentalists are more successful in converting large numbers to Islam and forcing larger numbers of people who are secular to become fundamentalists than the secular people are in moderating the extremists. The simple fact is that even basic Islam has a male oriented, repressive system of conduct and morals as a large part of its belief system. Then, if you get serious about being a 'true' Moslem, one must get even more extreme, even medieval in conduct and repression (particularly of women). An 11 year old Afghani refugee in Pakistan who works as a rug weaver and has completed his Midrasa training, when taken on a holiday to a water park, where he saw almost fully dressed (by western standards) men and women (mostly boys and girls) just swimming together and pronounced that all of them would 'go to hell', and that by just being there he had likely condemned himself to that fate also. The reporter, a moderate Moslem Pakistani woman, who had taken him there as a reward did not even try to dispute his viewpoint. What is the message this gives that future Jihadist(self described future)?

Why do we trust Jesus' friends who met him when he was 30 on their account of his birth?

Why don't we trust his parents?
