Yu say you shouldnt be or be like brain washed by other peoples beliefs. Well this is what christians and other religions say?

But dont all religions convince others, say with muslims parents literally shove it down their throats.

I dont think its fair, if the parents choose to believe then yes that is fine. But why should they expect their children to? Shouldnt they be given the rights to make their own decisions.

My family is catholic yet im an atheist !

My mum and dad gave me the choose.

Shouldnt everyone else have that right to??

I am a British Muslim (I was born here but my parents are migrants) and I was just wondering what people thought about Muslims and if they thought we were all terrorists.

In case you were wondering, I think that terrorism is wrong and terrorists are just stupid. I also think that people should stop stereotyping Muslims but I doubt that will happen.

My husband and I have been members of our church for 15 years. Recently my 13 year old daughter began acting strange, isolating, shunning her friends, and not wanting to go to church with us. We found out that the youth minister had seduced her and forced her to engage in sexual acts that she didn't understand. We called the police and they arrested the youth minister who also happens to be the pastor's oldest son, but he was released on bail. My husband went crazy when he was released and caught the man and beat him half to death. Now my husbands in jail for attempted murder, my daughter is in a psychiatric hospital, and the bank is ready to forclose on our home because we have no money due to all the medical and legal cost, my husbands not working, and now the pastor has turned other members of the church against us saying we are lying and making up stories about his son.
How can God allow this to happen? How can this be part of his plan?
I have lost my faith. There is no god.

I was in a philosophy class, and as the professor was discussing various religious beliefs, i could see a few students were getting noticeably upset...specifically discussing the "problem of evil" in religion....finally there was an outburst....

"it was the devil's fault" one student yelled out.
"no it's because of free will" another cried.
"you can't blame god for evil" another said.

It was as if they couldn't understand the arguments at all, the professor wasn't claiming any argument to be correct, he was just explaining all angles of the argument, and these students couldn't even wrap their head around the argument to understand what it was saying...Their responses were the same, blindly regurgitating what they had been taught rather than thinking about the argument, and finding problems: either with it's premises, or problems with how the premises lead to the conclusions.

Where as I, with no religious bias, could clearly see both sides of the argument, and understand it.

I think it can be beautiful. Blond girl should allways dominate and put her hand over any other girl´s mouth who isn´t blonde. It is a good way of showing who is ruling, the leader and who is more popular than others. And it is fair to everyone. And especially beautifull from the man´s point of view. What do you think?

Does anyone remember the Martini advert where at the end the girls dress starts to unravel when she is walking? Well I have to describe the advert and think of a possible ending for it in Italian.

Any nice phrases or good advertising language that I could slip into my essay?

Grazie

Isn't it just too bad that public school teachers are forced to take a vow of celibacy that turns them into child molestors? Look at this article and see the shocking statistics!

We need to change the rules and let teachers marry. Then they won't abuse children anymore.

They are the caregivers to the future generation, and yet they refuse to enter the core covenant of marriage?

Honestly, they may as well just slap Jesus in the face.

Many christians have answered previous questions saying they still believe this story so this is aimed at them.
1)If the ark was made of wood how did it not collapse under it's own weight?
2)Did Noah also gather 2 of every fish and saltwater dwelling animal that couldn't survive the desalinization?
3)How did all the plants survive underwater or did Noah also take these?

Usually I hide mine in the closet in garbage bags but that was when my daughter was younger and didn't really pay much attention. Now she is 6 and is always following me around, even in our walk in closet. So I can no longer hide them in there.
I dont have much room in my house either.
I could ask a friend but then I have to load them all up and sneak them back over here. Plus the person I would ask, their grand kids may rip them up, they aren't very well behaved.
So where do you hide your presents so the kids dont find them.

in math class, do christians get upset when discussing Pythagorean Theory?

"you cannot prove that the square of the hypotenuse of EVERY right triangle is equal to the square of the other 2 sides....it's just a theory"

If God already knows what that person will become from the very beginning, then do you think that he created that person to do his/her purpose on earth and be condemned in the after life?..
