REAGAN ADMIRED THE TALIBAN



At the height of the Afghan jihad, Ronald Reagan is said to have praised mujahideen madrassa students as "the moral equivalent of the Founding Fathers [of America]".

Fellow travelers:

Granted my earlier post was somewhat whimsical. I merely wanted to point out that if you say the Bible is not a guideline for ethical behavior, what do you have left? All I heard was some vague reference to mutual respect - I am a lawyer and know that the term "mutual respect" is as ambiguous as you get.

I was shocked about how many Christians did not realize I was on their side. We live on top of an existential void that can only be bridged by the pillars of faith, scripture, spirit and tradition - and from a cross cultural perspective - all religions have prescribed moral behavior. Why did not more people understand the underlying question about the necessity of a basis for ethical behavior?

if religious people think the bible was inspired by god just because it says so in the bible, shouldnt darwin have started his evolution theory by saying: "god told me that..."?
like this it would be in the book and since that is evidence enough for christians then everyone will be happy and we would have spared the creationist museum

I'm atheist. This is by my own choice though. My mother is too but she let me go to church and I went to this Christian rock concert once. But from there, I made up my own mind.

By best friend how ever is Orthodox but when I ask him about it, he has no idea. He just says 'my parents are, so I am'.

That's his choice. I'm not saying he shouldn't be Orthodox or any religion. He's old enough to make his own descions.

But I believe you should be allowed to make your own choices when you reach a suitable age.

Did you parents let you make up your own mind?
What would have happened if you went against your families religious beliefs?

Thanks in advance.

A preacher, a priest and a rabbi were having their usual morning cup of coffee at the local coffee shop. On this particular morning, they were discussing the point at which life begins.
"Life begins at conception," the priest said emphatically.
"No," countered the rabbi."I believe life begins at birth."
The preacher sipped his coffee as he ponder the question and finally said, "You both wrong. Life begins when the last child has left home and the dog dies!"

faith is believing without having/needing proof
if one has a personal experience with someone/something doesnt need faith.
What faith do you need to believe the existence of your mother/father/husband/aunt/niece/brother/neighbour???

1. Curse them out and go bullistic. This just fuels them on, because the only reason their on here in the first place is to see how you guys react.

2. Don't post in the first place. Some poeple feel the "urgent need" to post.

3. Report them, It can take up to 6 hours for a person to be actuall get a violation or suspended AND STILL thay can make new accounts in a matter of seconds.

4. Pretend to be serious, and write serious answers.

5. Post the Yahoo!Answers Community guidlines.

Do you find this term offensive? Not so long ago people would just say that the relationship ended which can happen to anyone and is part of life. I thought only rubbish gets dumped? And also I've heard of unfortunate animals literally getting dumped in rubbish bins - very sad. But people always have much value even when feeling rejected so why use this belittling word?

The matter was far from settled, however, despite high hopes for such on the part of Constantine. Arius and the new bishop of Alexandria, a man named Athanasius, began arguing over the matter even as the Nicene Creed was being signed; "Arianism" became a catch-word from that time onward for anyone who did not hold to the doctrine of the Trinity.

It wasn't until 451, at the Council of Chalcedon that, with the approval of the Pope, the Nicene/Constantinople Creed was set as authoritative. Debate on the matter was no longer tolerated; to speak out against the Trinity was now considered blasphemy, and such earned stiff sentences that ranged from mutilation to death. Christians now turned on Christians, maiming and slaughtering thousands because of a difference of opinion.

The Unitarian denomination of Christianity has kept alive the teachings of Arius in saying that God is one; they do not believe in the Trinity. As a result, mainstream Christians abhor them, and the National Council of Churches has refused their admittance. In Unitarianism, the hope is kept alive that Christians will someday return to the preachings of Jesus:
"...Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve."
(Luke 4:8)


Known as "tawhid" in Islam, and the "Shema," or the Jewish creed of faith: "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord." (Deuteronomy 6:4)


It was repeated word-for-word approximately 1500 years later by Jesus when he said: "...The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord." (Mark 12:29)

I was just thinking about the parable from Mathew where Jesus talks about people working the fields and getting one denarius no matter how long they worked. "The last will be first, and the first will be last." It's an analogy pertaining to being saved by grace. If our good works are equal to the guy who was saved 15 minutes before he died, then what would the point be in doing good works and learning in Christ? I know why I do it, but what are your thoughts.
