That most muslim people are peaceful and law-abiding and can't even bear to see the crap that these few radicals are causing to the world.

The world blames Islam and not the people commiting these crimes.

I'd like your views and comments on this.

Why do you live here? You can move to another country that better suits your lifestyle and mind set. You want to live here, but want to complain about living here too. And make statements about how you don't fly the flag because you don't agree with what it stands for. WHY DO YOU CONTINUE TO LIVE IN THE USA - if it makes you so darn negative?

Like, if you stub your toe, you shut out "Jesus ******* Christ!" or something. Never "Muhammed ****!!!" or "Buddha, that ******* hurt like a mother ****!"

Or if you are downing someone, you may say "Jesus, you ******* suck." But never "Buddha, you ******* suck!" It's always Jesus' name being cursed. Why is that?

yup, I finally came out in my high school and told people I was atheist because a group of guys i was sitting with was talking about the the bible. three of them were really shocked, but one of them (he believes more towards science, but he still thinks there's a god) was really like.. psyched to meet an atheist, lol. so i had to explain to him how i knew i was one. it was really nice though, because all four of them were really accepted of me being an atheist, even though 3 of them were Christians.

now my question is, can i expect most high schoolers to react this way, or are there high school-aged fundies to worry about?

Programmes like Hells Kitchen highlight the processes involved in slaughtering and preparing meat for the dinner table. We are so far removed from the actual preparation of meat in this day and age (and much of this has only occured in the last century or so with the introduction of pre-packaged meat in supermarkets), that people are shocked by cute Bambi dying.

In turn, as we only normally now see animals in a cute sense (in the farm or zoo), some people think it is morally wrong to kill one for food. I know people who, although they are meat eaters, disagree with the killing of animals and would never kill an animal themselves. One word springs to mind- hypocritical!

I have no qualms with vegetarians or vegans who stick by their guns and do not eat meat. What does annoy me though, is those who assume they hold the moral high ground and preach to us omnivores as if we are the baddies! All I can say to those people is: 100,000 years of human history can't be wrong!

Any thoughts?

I personally think every home in America should have one. If you choose to live here, you should be proud of being an American, and own a flag. I used to see flags out when I was a kid, on every holiday. We always put ours up. As I got older, it seems people just don't care anymore - can't be bothered to buy or put out their flag.

Do you own a flag? If not, why not?

Sorry about the question before. The verse is John 6:57 As the living Father has sent Me and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also shall live because of Me.

This is just my lack of knowledge here (raised a protestant), so these may be crazy questions. Also, I know I'm asking a lot, so I've numbered them in case you only want to answer one or two. Thanks so much for your input - these questions have been bugging me for quite some time.

1) Do you still practice Judaism (sacrements, holidays, etc.) just like you did before your conversion? Any that you had to omit?
2) Do you think there are Jewish traditions that Christians should celebrate?
3) Do you celebrate "Christian" holidays now?
4) Do you go to church or a synagogue? If synagogue, would you welcome other Christians to worship with you?
5) It took me a while to realize that being Jewish is not just about your religion, but about your bloodline. Have you always thought of them as one, and if so, was this a difficult part of your conversion?
6) What are your thoughts about the belief that you are "God's chosen people?

what kind of sicko would create something like that and force animals to eat their own poop?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coprophagia

among the list are:

pigs,
hippos,
elephants,
PANDAS,
guinea pigs,
RABBITS,
nicole richie,
and gorillas.

can someone explain why, if we were "created" or "intelligently designed" who the hell in thier right mind would sit back and think of something so nasty?

Yes, the pastafarian idea of "unintelligent design" might explain things, but that would require you creationists embracing the FSM as your god.

are you prepared to do that or acknowlede that creationism and ID is just more feces that you are swallowing?

or of course you could give me your own amusing answers.

I've been raised jewish my entire life, in a community full of christians. I've been trying to explore other religions, and the reasons people believe in them. However, I cannot seem to grasp why so many people believe in Christianity. I understand that every religious theory attracts someone, but I can't imagine why so many people choose to become or continue being christian. I am not critiscizing christianity at all, rather I would like to know some reasons why anyone who is christian and using Yahoo answers believes in christ/ the bible etc. It would eally help me to become more open minded and embrace my heavily christian neighbors.

whenever people find images of what they believe to be jesus or the virgin mary, be it in a tortilla or a stain on the wall, would you say this is a miracle or just a coincidence? the reason i ask is because whenever i ask why god won't prove his existence by revealing himself i oftent get told that god has better things to do with his time that waste his time trying to convince me. so is putting his image on a tortilla for someone who already believes in him a real effective use of his time?
