Why do Muslim women get mad when western women are angered by what they perceive as Islam's "oppression" of women? Don't you realize it's mostly fellow "sisters" being upset by poor treatment of Muslim women in Islamic countries?

Our media doesn't tell us, "Oh, look at these stupid, suplicating women who don't stand up for their rights?" They show us atrocities the Taliban have committed against Muslim women! Are you saying "religion police" in some villages do NOT chase women & beat them for not wearing the full burqa or venturing out without a male relative? Are you saying there are NO women who are forbidden an education or a job?

We, in the west, have been brought to tears by media stories of widows who are banned from earning a living to feed their children & are only allowed out when ascorted by a son or a male relative. They suffer, they need help!

Do you not know this or are you saying it's a media fairytale? Many of us just feel for our fellow women.

I was looking on youtube and came across this interesting video which I agree with. It is called "how to convert an atheist"
Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rqUsC2KsiI
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qmcOG-na4E&NR=1
It is a video about what an atheist would need to convince them to convert to theism. At the start the presenter requests theists to respond with a similar video about what it would take to convert a theist, but I was unable to find any such reply. So I thought I would open up the question here. All I am interested in hearing is what different theists would require to change their beliefs.

Note: I am not (I repeat NOT) actually interested in converting anyone, so don't take offense to this question. If you do not feel comfortable answering the question, then don't. There is no need to write anything abusive here. There should be no slandering of either belief (theism or atheism) in any of the responses.

Here are a couple of myths I've heard from atheists:

1) The concept of Satan differs drastically from Judiasm and it evolved over time.

The concept of Satan did not evolve over time. Just because Jews do not believe in the same version of Satan does NOT mean that it evolved over time. There is plenty of evidence to actually support the exact opposite. Jews once believed in the same idea of Satan that we do but they fell away.

2) The epic of Gilgamesh records a story about a man being saved in a big flood and just because this supposedly predates Judiasm, this automatically means the story in the Bible borrowed form Sumerian legends.

This is not true. It was actually the other way around. If anything, it actually supports the truth of the Bible because if a world wide flood did happen, you would expect to finds legends ALL over the world and that is EXACTLY what you find.

What do you think?

For anyone who has studied or even read up on Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Pythagoras up to modern philosophers, do you feel their ideas clash with your religion or do you think the concepts are compatable?

For the non-religious: would you say ideas about ethics and morals can be adequately obtained from philosphy rather than religious doctrine?

He could transubstantiate it after putting it together and BAM you got a Jesus.

Wouldn't that be a better use of the concept than eating him?

I have been pondering this question. When I started here I would have said emphatically no. However I have to confess to a bit of confusion now. The Bible says if we believe in our heart and confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord we shall be saved. Mormons and JW's freely admit Jesus is Lord. That He is the reason they are saved. Yes their doctrines are different from what I would call mainstream Christianity. But does the doctrine make them not a Christian? We see Jesus different. I see Him as part of the trinity. Mormons say He is a separate God. JW's say he is Michael and the Son of God but not God. Does this matter? Or is the important thing that we all believe He is Lord and saves us?

I would really love some thoughtful answers and not just they are not Christian comments.

there's a girl who's one of my best friends. Two nights ago, she told me she wanted to kiss me, so I kissed her. After the kiss, we looked at eachother, and she kissed me again only this time we started making out. Before I knew it, she was going down on me. Yesterday, she called me wanting to meet up for dinner. When she saw me, she kissed me again, very sweetly on the lips. After dinner, she invited me back to her place, and we had sex again.

I'm bi, and am very much out of the closet, but she isn't. She has always made remarks, telling me how pretty I look and things like that, but I never thought she was acually bi.

So are we dating now or what? I'm confused.
