Suppose, for the sake of argument, that the following is true:

A Christian has secretly created a shot which when injected in a woman, causes her to abort any pregnancies she has thereafter. So she'd get pregnant for a few weeks, and then miscarry let's say. Let's suppose that this shot takes a few years before it starts working.

Let's also suppose that this Christian is in charge of a large company and is granted a vaccination contract with Saudi Arabia. The Christian decides to give the Saudis the shot instead of the vaccine. The Christian knows Saudi Arabia is 99% Muslim, which means 99% of the children will ultimately end up in hell since they won't believe in Jesus. But, if all the women are given the shot, their children will die in the womb. So that means the children won't end up in hell.

The Christian realizes he is murdering children, but he is prepared to sacrifice his own soul to save MILLIONS of others. Is this for the greater good?

What do you think the world would be like if there was no religions? I've often wondered this. I grew up a christian myself, but to me Religions seems to divide people, cause problems/wars. Also is there a religion that you think is best to you individually? I'd love to hear your views. Thanks.

In the Bible it says we all will be changed from the natural body to a spiritual body ( which can not be destroyed). The believers go to Heaven and the sinners go to hell.

I am talking about the fundies in my neigborhood, and on Yahoo. Is this about fear? Why would a love of God make you feel grim, act mean, and be petty. Also, whats up counting and adding up others peoples sins? WWJD?

-I personally do not agree with their lifestyle.
-The fear, anger and hatred that they fill these impressionable minds with is frightful.
-They encourage these kids to give 10 % of all they have to a preacher so that he can drive a Mercedes, and so that he can build a multi-million dollar building in the suburbs.
-They teach their kids that they will burn in the fiery pits of hell if they do not conform to their very narrow belief system, (beliefs that are not agreed to by the majority of the world)
-So is this the healthiest environment for a child to be raised? I think not.

But, should my personal opinion and belief... mandate who can and cannot adopt children?

It seems that the fundamentalist Christians try to let their beliefs and opinions mandate laws...as they do not want gays to adopt, etc...

So, should we be a society where beliefs/opinions of the majority become law? And if the majority's beliefs are not Judeo Christian is that o.k.?

Did *anyone* think they were a good idea? Now, thong underwear and swimwear; fine, no problem.

But lycra shorts and then a thong leotard on top? Why??

Were they actually comfortable? (Fortunately, I'm too young to have actually worn such an outfit...)

P.S. Have I got the time period right? I think the fashion started in the mid 80s and died out in the early 90s?

That you say offensive things to Christians b/c you know they can not say offensive things to you back? And that your just waiting for them to so then you can say"aha! your a hypocrite!" Often on R&S I see answers from unbelievers that are just outright mean and offensive but, I rarely see Christians answering with such offense. Think about. Is it this a fair statement?

Someone asked a question about fundamentalist christians and i wondered about the similarities...

Atheists argue that fundamentalism is an inevitable consequence of religion and appeals to those who cannot tolerate arguments against religious faith.

Miltant atheism has been criticised as being fundamentalist because of its aggressive criticism towards theism. For example, when Albania declared itself an atheist state, it was deemed by some to be a kind of fundamentalist atheism and where Stalinism was like the state religion which replaced other religions and political idealogies. Any one practising a non-Stalinist religion or setting up a different political party would be sent to prison or tortured.

Militant atheism has been criticised in that it can be dogmatic and intolerant. Richard Dawkins is an example for his dogmatic intolerance to theists.

What are your thoughts? No offense to either end of the spectrum intended.

Mostly christians and anti-christians often debate about judging the people. I am just curious and wants to know, why some people says that we should not judge. I mean, the moment you see a person or you speak to the person, we tend to judge them, its natural to me. But, to make some serious decision about the person I definitely would try to make more investigate. But, I will have to judge, atleast regarding that aspect with which I am related to the said person. Why do people and specifically christians says that we should not judge even for worldly matters. I know that final judgement will be of God.
A curious muslim.
