Awarding a knighthood to SALMAN RUSHDIE has definitly exasperated muslims.

Assassination calls have been made for both of them.

Do you think its right to award such controversial personalities.

I personally think this can spread violence...what do you say?

Does telling them that there is eternal punishment for not cleaning their rooms any more conducive to developing a good moral foundation than giving them a week off the playstation?

I call myself agnostic, but I often wonder if its a mislabel. I'm not an idiot (which is why I don't believe in God anyway) and I do understand the gist between the 2 terms. I won't walk up to someone and tell them there in no God, but at the same time if the argument arises, I will give my best explanation of why I believe there is no God. Is that atheism or agnosticism? I will be happy to give more details if requested. PLEASE no Jesus freak answers, I don't need your scripture, bible, or your propaganda.

Texas has a NO Gambling Law. Okay their prerogative! So how come they still allow Bingo and the State Lottery?
Both of these activities are considered as gambling in the UK.

I think it is very hypocritical especially as the Catholics are so against gambling yet they still enjoy paying money to play with numbers to win money or prizes. What do others think?

I have a new puppy, purebread sheppard. I had another sheppard as a child, her name was princess. So I want to name this one princess as well, but I thought it would be cool to use the german name for Princess. Only I can't find it anywhere.

Satanists worship an unseen being, and many groups practice animal sacrifice and encourage sexual practices that violate the law. Many of their rituals are kept secret because they violate laws of the land, which Christans are taught to obey. [ I will readily concede that some Christians break the law, so please save your fingers on that accustion.] It occurs to me that they have I have never seen them ridiculed for their belief, and many Avatars seem to suggest they are represented here and while they may mock Christians, they seem never to be under fire themselves.

A true master is not the one with the most students , but the one who creates the most masters
A true leader is not the one with the most followers, but the one who creates the most leaders
A true king is not the one with the most subjects , but the one who leads the most to royalty
A true teacher is not the one with the most knowledge, but the one who cause the most others to have knowledge
A true God is not the one with the most servants , but the one who serves the most , thereby making Gods of all others
for this is both the goal and the glory of God, that his subjects shall be no more , and that all shall know god not as the unobtainable but as the unavoidable

( and if anyone knows where it is from can you share please, I have had this so long , I am not sure where it came from )

Why must so many people get so hostile with each other in R&S? Why must there be so many ad hominem attacks and intolerence?

Again, this is regardless of faith/non-faith.

...if you do read the bible and use you're logic not you're faith to understand the bible.
why? because its an automatic win if u use you're faith. and if you haven't read the bible than why do you believe in god ...maybe because you're parents raised you that way ...or maybe its because you want to believe that something good will happen to you after you have died. Open that brain of your's and realize that the bible is not to be taken literally ...the stories in the bible are to teach moral values and etc. Plus their is no possible way you can prove that god exist. Plus i think that we can all agree that if their is a god "that maybe ...just maybe he doesn't give a ****>"(George Carlin). plus you have to remember that faith is given at random. You don't chose what faith you can get sucked into. If you were born in some other part of the world you my friend would be believing in some other god doing what your god knows what. So does anyone want to challenge me?
