why do so many people talk about child mortality in 3rd world nations? we in the west hardly even have kids, choosing rather careers and luxury items over kids. and if we have kids, we either abort them or give them up for adoption. we do these things yet we speak so much of the mortality rates in countries that are already overpopulated, in countries where there isnt even enough food or resource to sustain the population. im not here to talk about the religion or whats right or wrong. what im saying is in some western nations more children are killed by our choices than are born, yet we as hypocrites want to feel sorry for the children in overpopulated, under-resourced nations. its like some kind of UN plot to depopulate developed nations, and let developing nations take over...

Then Why christians don`t choose "Adam " as a God too as Adam was created from no Mother Nor father as this is much diffuclt then jesus who had a mother. , God can do what is pleased to him without problem. So With all my respect to Jesus AND his miracle of birth THis is not evidence that he is a God jesus is a great prophet . THAT IS IT ..

Other religions seem to get a pass (with little exception) even though their beliefs are just as hokey as Christianity?

He wasn't one of the disciples; quite the opposite, he persecuted them. Did he somehow gain special insight when he 'fell to the ground' (Acts 9:4) and blinded? Were his eyes 'truly opened' when he regained his vision?

Here in Ontario there's been a high-profile case recently of a Jehovah's witness couple who gave birth to sextuplets. As is common in multiple births, many of the babies aren't expected to survive, but the parents are forbidding the hospital from giving life-saving blood transfusions. In the end, social workers took legal custody of them long enough to forcibly give blood transfusions, but this has only made the parents more upset.

According to the newspapers, this violates some central tenet of the Jehovah's Witness faith, some commandment in the Bible, and will cause those children to be shunned by the JW community. None of the papers that report this fact, however, go on to say WHY this could be.

Does anybody happen to know what the reason is?

I have been defending Islam to a ton of christian scholars that are arguing that Islam is not peaceful, and I'm all but being stoned to death. It turns out that they are not only not our brothers, but our opposites. Please explain these quranic passages.
Surah 9:5-fight and slay the pagans (or infidels or unbelievers) wherever you find them?"
Surah 4:157-And for claiming that they killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of GOD. In fact, they never killed him, they never crucified him - they were made to think that they did. All factions who are disputing in this matter are full of doubt concerning this issue. They possess no knowledge; they only conjecture. For certain, they never killed him.
Surah 9:30-And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah. That is their saying with their mouths. They imitate the saying of those who disbelieved of old. Allah (Himself) fighteth against them. How perverse are they

Suppose there was a tremendous problem facing humanity and you could spend ten minutes of your day either praying for God to fix it or working to fix it yourself. And suppose you couldn't split the time it had to be ten minutes of one or ten minutes of the other.

How would you spend those ten minutes?

I mean reallly, the wealthiest of us asking us to give to solve the worlds problems. It is truly obsurd, its like the King asking the peasants to feed the lesser peasants while he picks out nice things to buy himself. Bill Gates is funding a Musical Arts program while children world wide are starving. Where are the priorities?

Our constitution doesn't make reference to god or christ. Read the constitution for yourself here to verify. http://www.ourdocuments.gov/doc.php?flash=true&doc=9&page=transcript

The Bill of Rights, Amendment 1 seems to make it clear that there won't be laws that estabilish religion. Verify it here http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.billofrights.html

It has stated, unemployment rates for Muslims are higher than those for people from any other religion and Muslims in Great Britain had the highest rates of reported ill health in 2001, with above average birth rates.

http://www.statistics.gov.uk

They are simply implying that a lot of muslims are on benefits. This is blatant islamaphobia and only leads to hatred of muslim and should be removed. What about white people taking benefits? where is this statistic?

What about a racist slur? Would it matter if the comedian wasn't homophobic or racist? Would it depend on the comedian's ethnicity or sexual orientation for a joke to be told?

Bostonians - this one is especially for you.
IT WAS A PROMOTIONAL GIMMICK!
My God people...what is wrong with you?
So, I suppose if Nickelodeon wanted to secure the naming rights for the Big Dig and started placing SponeBob statues everywhere, you'd shut the Big Dig down for fear the sponge was going to eat the city? A gay sponge with a tie is one thing - a terroristic threat is another. Know the difference.
"Oh My God! It's a blinking blue light! It's going to kill us! HELP!" America has gone mad if a harmless object used as a joke paralyzes a city.

How many people think that Boston went completely off the deep end with their response to the "threat" they faced earlier this week?
Again - Bostonians, this one is especially for you...but any red-blooded American who thinks that this Security Level, terror threat thing has gone too far is welcome to answer.
