Lets face it. Our concept of right and wrong are influenced by religion. What's right to a Christian can be wrong to a Muslim and vice versa. What and who then dictates our action as right or wrong?

If so, state the name and the locality where you live.

I have met 7 different men with the name, "Robert Carl Jones", mostly in the Southwestern US, but I knew one guy with this name who married a neighbor of mine back East.

Most people believe Smith and Jones are the most common surnames. However, Williams may be the most common American surname. Your opinion?

Okay so I just sort of fell into my faith and I don't know where to go from here. I actually Emailed a pastor asking for advice, but it's been about a month since he told me he'd put me in contact with the assistant pastor at the church. So I've basiclly accepted that that's fallen through. What I need to know, is what do I do now. My parents didn't really take me to church as a child and I just started reading the Bible. I'm 16 by the way. I mean do I just walk into a church and sit down, or do I need to, I dont know introduce myself to the head of that church first. As you can see I'm really quite clueless when it comes to this subject. So I was hoping all you girls and guys could help me out. As I said before please only answer the question with a real answer. Thanks!

To call oneself a chemist, a person must have a degree in Chemistry. To call oneself a student of statistics, a person must have had it at a certain level.
To call oneself a Hindu, Muslim, Christian or Jew, shouldn't one have experience of STUDYING its scriptures?
I have seen some comments from reasonable people wherein they attribute things to scriptures which are totally opposite to what's in there.
Should we just follow the religion of our forefathers and call all other religions wrong or should we study all of them?
How can a person be a follower of a religion without actually studying in detail its scriptures?

This is why I accuse atheists of being dumb from time to time. I posted some brief criticisms of what I regard to be bad atheist arguments and I get mistaken for being religious or sympathetic to religion.

Just because I'm an atheist doesn't mean I have to agree with every opinion that other atheists have. I think it's important for atheists to honestly critique one another, because in the long run it will help to dispel weak arguments.

I need a good genus and species name.

Yes, I realize it can interbreed with humans, but let's ignore that for the moment, aside from having the same chromosome count it seems different enough from humans to merit a different genus to me.

Please include the English translation of the name you're giving it in your answer. And I realize this is an odd question but serious answers only plz.

Is it true that in Mormonism women are viewed as second class citizens? Is it true that Mormon women are taught to obey their husbands because they hold the priesthood? I knew a Mormon lady who was beat by her husband and used these awful excuses to justify his actions.

I'm married to a woman who was born in Israel and she told me along time ago, she was NEVER taught in her Jewish faith schools, that Hilter killed 6 million non-jews. She was only taught that Hilter only killed jews. She was shocked to hear about the 'non-jews' of equal number that Hilter also killed. Why does it seem that people of the jewish faith have little regard for the 6 million non-jewish people who were killed by Hitler?

that god could have pretended that life started with him, when in fact another god in a parallel universe created him and told him to say that. You can harp on about the bible saying that before him there was no life (yawn) but he could easily have lied as part of his plan. After all, he can do anything, can't he?
