I Know that the letters "J, K, W, X, Y" Foreign in the Italian Language but they have their own different Pronunciation.

What are the Foreign Letters for English and what is their Pronunciation?

TV stations are required to air public service announcements about various things the government believes is good for the public to know. Stuff like the famous "this is you brain on drugs".

Using the same logic, shouldnt we have anti-faith commercials. Isnt it unhealthy to have faith/unsupported-belief in anything? Most Americans are raised with the crazy idea that faith is a beautiful thing. They cant tell you why faith itself is a good thing, other than the fact that they employ it, that they take their religion "on faith".

Ok, you take your religion on faith, but why is "faith" itself good...isnt it better that we label it an insanity, least ignorant people blindly follow any such stupidity....

Case in point:

The ever-controversial 9:29 says:
"Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of [Christians], until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued." (Quran 9:29)

Every English translation says "fight" the non-believers. The arabic word used here is "Qatiloo," or "Kill." Fight and kill are two completely different words.

This is in the three most "reliable" and well-respected translations of the Quran. Is this an honest mistake, or are they trying to soften it up a bit for us westerners?

As much as I loathe modern day American politics, I know for certain Jesus would NOT be Republican....but what do you think, and why? Who knows maybe you might convince me otherwise if you have a good enough reason! lol

Why would Jesus be the one and only one to not sin?? Why is Jesus considered lord, or god?? Not so sure what captivates all these christens and such with Jesus.

(I'm defining "major" as those having more than 1 million followers).

From an emotional standpoint, you likely will disagree, but you must agree from a logical standpoint, this is an accurate statement, right?

Take a look at that map, and see where being gay is considered punishable. I wonder if the people on here who are constantly bashing gay people are from those countries, or just want to be on par with them.

Also the people who make claims like "if gay marriage is legal, then why can't I marry my dog!?" Since when does a dog have a legal standing, and how exactly is a dog able to sign a marriage certificate? Comparing gay people to animals? Now THAT takes a sick person.

The few atheists I’ve known, literally could care less about the discussion of atheism or religion, or anything related. You do have to wonder about people claiming to be ‘atheist’ that post on religious boards. I can honestly and safely say that I’ve never posted on a board about Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, etc….

Just curious as to your thoughts!

i'm not picking on anybody here. it's just that i've heard atheists (maybe just SOME atheists) say that they are spiritual, but not religious. i'm a bit confused about that. it seems reasonable to me that if a person believes he has a spirit, he would also believe there was a diety who created that spirit. is it just that there is some different definition of the word ''spiritual''?

Today at church I was so filled with the Holy Spirit, that God was giving me glimpses of being in his presence like I was in heaven looking back at times i worshiped God in church. This was during praise and worship time through singing. Has this ever happened to you? God just fills me with so much joy!

Many atheists believe that religion is responsible for many of the world's problems. In your opinion, is religion itself - not the adherants per se - immoral?
