Also, what religion are you now.

For me:

I'm currently a Protestant Christian (Lutheran). If God told me that Christianity was wrong, I would become a Jew.

What about you?

This is a completely hypothetical question. Please, no "that wouldn't/couldn't happen."

Complete separation? No Separation? Is it ever acceptable for the government to take a religion's concept of morality and have it reflected in the law?

If yes to the last question, how would you feel if that religion was not your own?

just curious

-No matter how bad my children are, I would always give them as much time as they need to perfect themselves.
-I would never dream of burning them much less forever.
-I'm also pretty sure I could come up with a better plan to populate the world than Adam and Eve's children having to commit incest.
-I also will never require a blood sacrifice to make everything okay...like the Christian God needed with Christ's blood.

-It's to bad the Christian God Can't be a better parent....But then again...No God like the cruel Christian God could ever excist....except in strange minds!

Richard Dawkins often voices his views on religion when speaking publicly. Is he justified to use his recognition as a scientist to give authority to his words when speaking about spiritual matters?

All wars are stemmed from war of the class. There are two classes, the ruling class and the working class. (especially true today where the middle class are disappearing) The ruling class oppresses the working class. How they do this is with passing fear in the form of race and religion. While we're constantly bickering about racism and where God is, we are distracted from the real oppression that the ruling class puts us under. No affordable healthcare, minimum wage is low, education is cruddy in urban areas...yet, we are fed crap about immigration and being jesus like. How many agree the real oppression with race, it's with the difference of class. When you don't get treated with respect, it's because you're not in the upper class...not because ur a minority...or being run down by minority. right or wrong?

Think about it-if you just so happened to born in Pakistan or Thailand the high chances are that you would be going to hell as there is a very slim chance you'd be reading the bible. Is this the reason you honour your mother and father because of where they happened to live and for their views?

I noticed while on Google Pictures researching for pictures to add to my scrapbook, there was alot of people of Christanity against Harry Potter. Now, I did see there was a man from a church said hes for Harry Potter since it has morales to the storyline, such as heroism, love, and caring there. Unlike everyone else in the community they had nothing but bad things for the series. I wish no harm to any christans all over, but what is so wrong with Harry Potter? All J.K. Rowling did was make it into a story, full of fiction and made it fun to read for all young adults to get to reading. It may be near the thought of Witchcraft, but, I still see it as a storyline for kids or adults to be stronger, to be more stronger. Do you agree with this? No hate answers either! Thanks for all of your corperation! Have a great day!
