Don't all people really see politics and religion in close collaboration with each other (how can a Christian not use his faith to help develop laws, as such how can a Muslim not feel the same obligation)?

Thanks be to GOD, we can all improve!

Whom they call the "Antichrist" (more accurately the False Messiah)......... and they wonder why Muslims are hostile to Israel ?????

The most EVIL and deceptive leader to come on the earth in the history of mankind and they have chosen to be on HIS side against Islam.

Islam is the greatest threat to the False Messiah (Antichrist).

Processes used by religious groups to create and support dogma........

Eisegisis: To read into a scriptural text to find support for a theory or belief [Apriori]

Apriori: To take a position and then to seek support to prove it. Typically leads to putting into or reading into the text what is not
really there. Having a thought or theory and digging through scripture to find evidence to support it.

Apriori: In computer science and data mining, Apriori is a classic algorithm for learning association rules. Apriori is designed to operate on databases containing transactions (for example, collections of items bought by customers, or details of a website frequentation). Other algorithms are designed for finding association rules in data having no transactions (Winepi and Minepi), or having no timestamps (DNA sequencing).

A priori, in a legal sense, based on deduction or hypothesis

JW's say that Jesus was hang in a pole( which is a lie) . they say that his hands were put together on top of his head. Which of course its not true either. The reason is this. On 20:25 Thomas says"'Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails and stick my finger into the print of the nails and stick my hand into his side, I will certainly not believe' ".Now if Jesus were crucified not on a cross, but on a stake, then only one nail would have been used for his hands. Our text, however, says that nails were used (one for each hand). This verse is extremely problematic for the Watchtower position - especially since their own New World Translation has the plural form of "nails". JW's what do you believe now?

If someone's god is said to disapprove of homosexuality, does that mean followers of said god should feel justified in legislating their religious doctrine into secular law?

Similarly, should it be OK for a religious group to legally require others to adhere to their dietary restrictions, or to pray in the manner they pray, or to deny themselves nourishment on fasting days?

I'm a guy myself but I dont like it. sex is always on my mind, I got interest in cars but I dont like cars (too many car accidents) and one thing I dont like is: being violent. I dont wanna be violent, but before I beat a cow cause she almost kick me (but our cows dont kick!!!!). so it pissed me off, first I kicked her and then I took a stick and I know how to swing very fast, so I beat her. my ankle still hurts but I deserve it. but now I'm affraid I might beat my children.

I dont like being a guy. girls have so many patience while I lose my mind so fast. I'm so horny all the time, I know that girls are too, but dont wanna be "hungry" all the time. its all testosterones fault.

I wanna be a girl!!!! my female friends doesnt have this problems.

I find it strange when christians and muslims use science and logic to discredit another religion........but call for faith while analysing their own or resort to threats when criticised by others using the same science and logic!

Sorry I keep picking on you guys... just since I'm Christian (never really learned about other religions) the atheist religion confuses me the most. I always wondered this though..

Gay marriage is a huge controversy today, and many Christians will be against it saying its against what the Bible says and what not. But, I want to know, how do you guys feel about gay marriage?

Fear does lead to anger leads to hate leads to suffering. Think about it. Fear keeps you from letting go of prejudices. Fear keeps you from being happy. Fear keeps you from living the life you love. Fear keeps you from asking that girl out you've been wanting to date. Fear is the mindkiller.

How will you get rid of your fear?

I will not fear
Fear is the mindkiller,
Fear is the little death
That brings total Oblivion
I will permit my fear to pass
Over me and through me
And where it has gone
I will turn the inner eye
Nothing will be there
Only I will remain.
