There are a number of wars in the Middle East right now that we (the Allies) are involved in. Iraq, Afghanistan, there are more.

We supply weapons to some, we are in active combat with others. You all know this anyway.

When on the subject of these wars, though, I have noticed that our 'leaders' have a tendency of mentioning the Christian God in their speeches.

I hope someone can offer actual quotes below when they answer, to give a better understanding.

Would that not be a case of saying that God endorses our side, and that it is done in His name?

So why do we (the West) constantly deny a war on Islam, when it's obviously Christians against SOMEONE?

Please note: No non-Christian I know supports this war. Come to think of it, there's very few Christians I know who do either.

We all support the troops though. They are the innocent ones in all of this.

Why are we trying to censor so many things out from the American people? Words, Violence, and the topic at hand Sexuality.

Are we really that prudish here in the "free" world. Are we still living in the dark ages where the talk of anything related to sex was a shameful thing? European countries don't have the same strict guidelines when it comes to sex, nudity, language, and television subject matter that we have here. People are wanting so many things to be censored on television, that when a movie comes out, its been edited to death and doesn't compare to the original. People state that they don't want their children seeing these things on the televison, yet they still refuse to pick up the remote and change the channel themselves.

I mean, if you don't want to watch or don't want your family to see something on televison, then pick up the remote control and change the channel yourself.

I know this seems like a basic rant, but i'm just tired of seeing shows torn apart.

Wiccans and witches... I understand that Wiccans have a code of ethics whereby doing harm or interfering with another person's will is considered wrong. This, to me, would then greatly reduce the number of spells that an ethical witch could perform.

I was very stressed out the other day (feeling better now, because I'm taking herbs and vitamins) and I was wondering if a Wiccan could perform a spell on me to stop my heart and mind racing with stress.

It is usual for a Wiccan to do spells to change him/herself, rather than other people?

If you feel so inclined, would you please share an experience when you have done a spell on yourself, to improve yourself or some inanimate aspect of your environment?

"It is my opinion that masturbation is not much of an issue with God. It is a normal part of adolescence which involves no one else. It does not cause disease. It does not produce babies, and Jesus did not mention it in the Bible. I'm not telling you to masturbate, and I hope you won't feel the need for it. But if you do, it is my opinion that you should not struggle with guilt over it. Why do I tell you this? Because I deal with so many Christian young people who are torn apart with guilt over masturbation; they want to stop and just can't. I would like to help you avoid that agony."

Wouldn't that make their god an unreliable liar, who changes his mind at will, and cannot be trusted from one day to the next?

On a Monday he says one thing...
Tuesday he says another...
Changes his mind the third time on Wednesday.
And by Friday, his followers have taken over the job of speaking for him altogether!

It's the belief that a Cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force in your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

Is there anything i've missed

I just read a question on here that a person asked. They were atheist and wanted to know what Agnostic was...the answers were mostly wrong, even the person who got best answer.
So I am curious to know what everyone here thinks agnosticism is?
The person who has the best RIGHT answer will get the 10 points.

the bible says nothing about being "legally married" it just states being married in the eyes of the LORD. Can a couple go forth to the Lord themselves and consider themselves married in the eyes of the Lord, or do they have to legally do it? I know this is a weird question but me and fiance don't live together, and can't financially afford to do so as a traditional husband and wife, but we love each other very much, and are committed to one another.
