I know what Atheist means so no need to tell me, I am one.

Is it the actual religions/beliefs, or the power hungry church's that put you off, or both?

graduation class but shows up herself? The reunion was for 1973, 1974, 1975. All years had representatives and there was a big turn out. But 1974 she was in charge of she contacted nobody. Only eight from 1974 showed up and they were invited by the 1973 representative. Why would she volunteer for something when she had no intention of fulfilling the obligation?

I had a disagreement with my roommate about that which can't kill me can only make me stronger. He seemed to hold it as being absolutely true, but then I was able to argue him to my point of view which was that it isn't ALWAYS true. But then one of my dorm mates came in and held it to be absolutely true and I wasn't able to disprove his position because I couldn't find any counter examples he couldn't justify away. I argued that an individual can come away weaker from a negative experience and that that disproves the statement being absolutely true, but he argued that because it's a matter of perception and that it's an individual's own choice of whether or not to become stronger from an experience. I still want to win this argument so I need help.

Its from one of his books THE MYSTIQUE OF THE ISLAMIC ORIENT

'May any muslim who happens to read these lines forgive my plain speaking. To them the koran is the word of allah and i respect their faith. I dont share this idea and i do not wish to get carried away by such myths the way some orientalists have done in order to be in good terms with muslims or islamic governments.

while muslims have every right to read and believe every single word as logic in the koran , they must extend that privilage to any free thinker who is willing to stand up and question the absurd claims this so called holy book makes in the name of an arabian deity'

How will you answer dear old Maxime Rodinson?

Sex and City is a popular TV show. All four girls call each other friends.But in one of the episodes when they were having a lunch at a restaurant - they paid money individually for their lunch. It looked so indifferent. I mean, they call each other friends but they paid money on their own for their food. Such a things does not happen in our country. When we friends go out, one of us pay the whole money on our behalf, next time, another friend pays and so forth. May I know why such a different thing happens in the USA?

And those "EMO" term are stupid as a **** that has NO POINT at all.Those dress, those piercing, those leggings those thick eyeliners, and blah blah.... half of the world is covered by them.
-People have NO ORIGINALITY AT ALL! since that they don't make there own stories. Allot of singers just revive and revive of old GOOD songs! And they make this GOOD songs HORRIBLE! The movies, allot of them are just remake, can't they make there own?
-Bands today are ***, not like BEFORE! Their sounds are annoying and makes my(not me) ear bleed! They don't have voice anyway!

Worship-wise, the Catholic Church continues to celebrate the same sacraments that were celebrated in the first century. Fundamentalism uses a type of worship, depending on the branch, developed sometime between 1650 and 1920.

I have always given my supervisor a Christmas gift. If I buy it, I usually spend about $25. If I paint him something (I am a hobby artist) it would probably be worth more than that. I also usually give my hairdresser $25 - $50 cash each year. Coincidentally, these two are now married to each other.

Should I give them separate gifts, or should I give them one gift of higher value? I was thinking maybe a $50 gift card to a restaurant I know they like.

(Please no comments on the general idea of gift cards...I know some people hate them in principle. I am really only interested in answers to the combined/separate question.)

In the UK there has been a news report about a British teacher who was arrested in Sudan for letting her class name their teddy bear Mohammed.

Does anyone take offense to this? Seeing as Mohammed is the most common name in the world and one of her students is called Mohammed.

In Islam it is forbidden to harm the "people of the book" i.e. the people of the other Abrahamic faiths. Islam itself would not exist had not the Christian King of Ethiopia protected Mohammed's p.b.u.h. followers when they were driven from Arabia..... So where all of this fighting and "jihad against the infidel" stuff. And from the other side....why is Islam always perceived as an enemy and not the people who manipulate it?
