This is an issue here in Minneapolis at the airport, 75% of cab drivers here are Muslim. For me it's religion rearing it's ugly head, and they should loose their license if they refuse a fare.

the christians attacking the non- christians not the other way around? I dont see any Pagans going door to door telling christians about the wrath of Thor, but maybe they should.

People are dying all around world because of Satan being allowed to roam free and many immortal souls are being put at risk. If a politician handled the crime situation like this there would be calls for their resignation by now.

Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.
If Scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.
Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.
For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all
In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the state.
We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
It's "inappropriate" to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such "judgments" do not belong.
We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.
It's scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot; My soul please take!
Amen

are miserable, sad or angry or that we are suffering in any way? I often get rediculous statements in answers from Christians such as this:
I just want to ask you one thing.. Are you happy? do you have peace and contentment.... I can promise you that you do not.. You are miserable.. Your hurt stems from your misery... Hope things work out for ya.. Good luck with the your "mission to enlighten Christians"
I kind of find this offensive I have survived 25 years without Jesus
What is up with this? My life is not miserable I am very content
& I rely only on myself to solve my problems. Perhaps you are all confused about Atheists & assume you can only be happy with Jesus on your side. Well I am sorry but you are dead wrong & honestly I just see your religion as a form of therapy I do not need.

If Adam and Eve were the first people on earth, and then they made kids, how did the cycle continue without brothers and sisters having sex with each other? I'm confused.
Were Adam and Eve even married?

My girlfriend is away at school about a 8 hour drive away. I'm not wealthy so we've decided on me visiting her 3 times during her 4 month term. For convenience sake, I suggested that we have a special day for just the two of us on a different day than Valentine's day. It would work out better that way for many reasons; financially, workwise, etc. She also has reading week two weeks later (a week off from classes) so I figured we'd have more time together as well. Unfortunately, she did not like that suggestion at all. In fact, she almost considered it an insult to our relationship that I would consider not having our special day on valentine's day like everyone else. I wanted to do alot for her on our special day to show I care. But for some reason, because it's not on Saint Valentine's day, it's just not the same. Why so much importance on a specific day? Am I off base on this issue?

I am a tri lingual person and come from a region of the world where speaking loudly with hands waiving and such ,is a normal thing. yet now that I live in the states I am sometimes accused of aggressive and hostile behavior!

I mean no harm and have researched this and found out that many people who are bilingual behave this way.

has any one ever had this problem? I tell poeple that this is just how I speak and try to sit on my hands or play with something so I dont use them. I have met many poeple who speak quietly but have a tongue that cuts like a knife ,thats how rude they are. but I am a loud speaker and I have a somewhat deeper voice so if I speak quietly no one understands what I am saying.help anyone?
