Settle this whole Atheist/Christian debate once and for all. Of course, I'd be torn as for who to root for, the atheists because the Christians are arrogant proselytizers or the atheists because at least the Christians believe in a higher power...

Im not a gay basher or anything because im gay myself, but how come theres so many gays that are so materialistic, and its not even that that's the problem, its just it seems so many of them are snotty and stuck up and think their the cutest thing to be brought into the world. Usually it seems like the effeminate ones. Anyone notice that? I'll admit i like material things BUT how come so many are like the male version of Paris Hilton? It kind of disgusts me to be honest...

I want to quote a yahoo member who answered my, "Are you racist?" question in this:

"Everyone has a homegrown misconception of another race with which they have minimal contact. That's what happens when you're raised in one culture with other cultures marginalized."

In order to eliminate these homegrown racial misconceptions you would have to increase contact with other races. So, do you think world peace can be obtained by total racial integration? That would mean no language barriers, a one language world. That would also mean no black colleges. City planning would have to designate a required number of representatives from each ethnic group living within neighborhoods, etc... All hate crimes punished with say, the death penalty regardless of degree of assault. You get the idea...

IF this could be done (and I know it is far fetched) do you think we would be one step closer to world peace?

By Moral Authority I mean that which defines good and evil, right and wrong.
Here are some examples, please note this is not a comprehensive list and I don't mean for you to chose from it, they are just examples of what I mean by Moral Authority:

1. God, as you define him/her/it
2. God, as a religious text defines him/her/it
3. Yourself, you decide what is right and wrong
4. Family/Friends/People you know
5. Majority Rules (voting)
6. Elected Officials (president, parliament, congress, etc)
7. Courts (like the Supreme Court)

I know some of you will be tempted to say more than one from the above, but ultimately when two of these conflict (like the Supreme Court vs. Majority Rules) you will have a tendency to lean toward one or the other, so please chose your primary "Moral Authority" source and then say WHY.
I of course have an opinion, but this is a question, not a soapbox, and best answer will be chosen on who gives the most comprehensive and best argument for their choice.
Thanks!

Will this be what keeps us apart,or is it possible to reconcile our different religious beliefs for the sake of love?
Any Mormons out there want to comment?

Do you want to go your whole life being in love with someone other than your spouse,because they are from a different religion?

Do you think or know if they are participating in this war with enough fortitude from God and Country? In other words are we as forthright as we should be in giving the counseling to their souls and spiritually uplift them as much as we can. Is it still God and Country or for man and money?

Seems counter-logical that one will ask Atheists for their hobbies, but they will take the Theist for best answer.

I sure would. Every penny spent on him from Elementary school to College should be refunded to us since it obviously was misspent. If by any chance he went to private schools all his life and funded his education without federal aid, I would like to sue the united states for giving those schools a charter with such obvious subpar education.

There have been a number of incidents over the years when some interbred nutcase has gone berserk in a school in America. We tightened up our gun laws over here and it seems to have done the trick. Why don't the yanks do likewise and stop these idiots from owning guns?

Atheists believe that there is nothing such as eternel life. We believe that there is only one death for a man and it is eternel. We are not afraid of it. Even you are right we will get permenant death in hell. We are getting only what we think we would get.

But if we are right you had lived your whole life hoping for an eternel life you will never get.

Cowards die many times before their deaths, valiant die only once
Atheists die only once
