This is my personal experience, I am a student at a local university, for some reason there seems to be a lot of females converting to islam in my college and they are extremely devout, wearing hijab etc. Anyway two of the ladies who converted told me point blankly that Homosexuals are disgrace to society and they need to be given the death penalty. What is even disturbing is they are White all American females.
Also when the Muslim Student Association was protesting the Jewish occupation of Palestine as part of a debate with Jewish hillel and Jews for Israel in campus I noticed members of LGBT siding and protesting along with Muslim Student Association members. This I thought was disturbing because Israel is only country in the middle east that supports the rights of Gays and Lesbians. Islamic countries give the death penalty, let alone grant rights to LGBT. So why do Gays align with Muslims in America?. I am a hindu I have no vested interest in Israel or the muslims just a question.

How does human responsibility interact with our Creator's responsibility?

It would appear that If human responsibility is overemphasized, then faith can turn into into legalism, without an appreciation for God's active power in our lives.

If God's responsibility is overemphasized, ones faith can turn into fatalism, losing the emphasis on obedience to God and service to others.

Can both co-exist, or does one negate the other?

In other words, can it possibly be 50/50 (or 90/10 for that matter), or does one make the other impossible?

How would you describe the relationship between the two, or is it one, and not the other?

I'm really looking for an answer to this one.

And usually by people of a faith that once was persecuted and so they should know better then to treat others the way they were treated all over the question of faith or lack thereof.
Some might not see it that way.But if you look all around you will find that not having beliefs can prevent you from many things.You can't hold certain public offices for instance.You're treated as less of a person.You're seen as immoral.You're treated as someone who is untrustworthy.All because you are a Atheist.Such persecution was reserved for Christians at one time.Now it is many Christians who persecute.

All of this because a person chooses to embrace rationality in an age of science and chooses to take responsibility for their own destiny rather then look into a religious book and hope to find the answers there and all because a person chooses not to side with one religion or another over a question of who is right and who is wrong and would rather know that neither has any evidence either way.

Words like, scary, fright, evil, etc are just a few chosen words.. Just because something is not understood does that mean we must fear it? If people actually took the time to learn could the meaning of paranormal change to normal?

Scientist predict they will soon be able to create life from chemicals. This proves that creation stories are false. Or does it? This life is being created in labs with extremely controlled conditions. Exacting amount of chemicals and the chemicals are not being formed out of thin air. But even given that if this life is created what does it mean for Christians? We should rejoice if they are able to do this. It proves that an intelligent designer is needed for the creation of life. If not the scientists would be able just to pour a bunch of chemicals together and get life. What do you think?

itself created themselves from nothing, without an external cause (God). For if time itself didn't exist prior to the Big Bang, wouldnt that require somthing existing outside of time to initiate things? If not, doesn't that contradict science which tells us nothing can be in motion, unless something first puts it in motion?

As a Christian I base my morality on Biblical principals. Now how do you as an atheist decide was is immoral or moral? Is the legal law enough morality for you or is that even to extreme? So what is your ruler for right and wrong?? Is there such a thing in your eyes?? Please only serious answers.

If someone is truly psychic, shouldn't they be accurate, meaning right at least a little more than they are wrong? What about when they work on things like missing people, and their wrong information actually botches an investigation?
