If they want to stick their nose in our political system, why can't they pay like the rest of us? And DON'T tell me that they don't because that would be lying or ignorant. (Stem-cell research, abortion, gay marriage, cloning etc...) Those are issues of the church!

*Question for theists, what if God turned out to be a woman?

As you know, every major religion that teaches for the existence of a personal God depicts God as a "he". My question to you is, what would your reaction be it turned out that our creator was a "she".

I personally don't believe this, but if it turned out to be true I think that would be rather cool.

*PLUS, if you don't believe that God is male, or don't believe in God at all, provide your own theory as to why humanity has historically viewed the monotheistic view of God as such.

Can you give an example?

Why don't people stand up to rude strangers?

Recently I was at a coffee shop with my son. We were at one of the tables having a conversation, joking around, enjoying ourselves and speaking at a regular volume however, a woman turns around and tells us she doesn't want to hear our conversation and says it in a way like she's got a horrible attitude. I know she has got to be a miserable person but I don't know why she thinks I will be her scapegoat.

I come accross these people every now and again and I don't know why they think it is o.k. to behave this way. When someone is minding their own business, not hurting anyone else they should be left alone. Whatever little thing they seam to think is irritating them does not give them the right to treat another like a piece of crap. Plus, if they have no consequences they will continue to do their best to make others as miserable as they are.NOBODY deserves unwarranted attitude. Why do people let others carry on this way? It is NOT o.k.People deserve common decency and nothing else.

Christians, do you have a hard time relating to other Christians?

When I was younger, I always had a lot of friends but since I've been a Christian, it's really hard for me to meet other people. I go to church but I can't seem to meet anyone I can talk to or get close to. Is this weird? =)

Is atheism an offshoot of Islam?

The basic declaration of faith in Islam is

"There is no god, but God".

This statement has two parts

1) There is no god
2) But there is one God

This statement was revolutionary considering the time it was revealed. It reduced the number of gods to just one, which is so close to atheism. The first part is very significant in that it rejects all baseless beliefs associated with "gods", which is the essence of atheism; whereas the second part explains the uniformity, will and purpose behind the creation of the universe as well as the source of the moral principles governing the human society which are basically religious in origin, but still which even the atheists condone. Historically it can be seen that atheistic ideology came into being only after the advent of Islam. It arose in Europe during the dark ages as the rebellion against the church as a result of their interaction with the Islamic civilization which was flowering at that time. However as the Europe didn’t become Muslim they embraced only the first part in principle. Still they too accepted two vital corollaries of the second: That the universe is governed by a single will, which is of course the science; and they too accepted the moral values like human equality, freedom, fraternity, justice and morality which are basically religious in origin, but has been corrupted over the ages and has been re-founded by Islam. (For example even though there are many scientific theories challenging the human equality, atheists has generally favored it).

Hence it may be safe to state that atheism is an offshoot of Islam?
