I can no longer support the religious right and there money grubbing and laundering and massive profits that are not contributing to this government-WAIT WE DO CHARITY WORK-WE HAVE BENEFITS-WE DO CONSIDERBLE-Fund raising-YES you are also tax exempt have had considerable controverseies that have cost millions of dollars in TAX payer money to hanle you disputes-have bough thousands of acres of land that could be used for businesses that could be supporting the government and business-and do more damage to THE CONSTITUTION and Bill of Rights than any other organization protected by THAT SAME CONSTITUTION! Your time has come to put up or shut up and for you to pay for your religious beliefs rather than MY Government-I am sick of seeing your ideas on Free television and you determining that mine are not correct-WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE WHAT I DO VIEW OR Worship in my own right-you are nothing but pacifists that NEED to have a GOD in your life because you are too weak to live in REALITY-GOODBYE

To me, a thumbs up is kind of nice, but a thumbs down... especially when you get a lot... means you really asked something that stirred the hornet's nest and made a lot of people angry. There are very few things that can get people angrier than making them question their beliefs.... Thumbs down's rule.

Obviously, there should be no dirt. Just like how there wouldn't be any more monkeys if evolution was true.

......is south bound after death?

I forgot that my friend Magda is a Jew. I had her over for dinner, and I served her a dish that included bits of ham. To make matters worse, I made the gravy with pan drippings and milk. I know I violated her strict dietary laws.....

Another poster earlier asked for people to provide proof of God's existence. Of course, so many people thought it would be clever to demand the poster to prove that there is no God. Sorry, but the burden of proof rests on those who making a positive assertion--not on those making a negative one.

Reversing the burden of proof is a logical fallacy because, first, it requires proof of a negative, and second, it places the burden of proof on the challenger, not the proposer of the idea. Before a claim is made, it should be proven, not asserted until disproven.

If I told you that there are invisible fairies in my garden that make my flowers grow, wouldn't you want proof of this? Now imagine if I turned around and said, "You can't prove that the fairies AREN'T there; therefore, my point still stands, and there are fairies in my garden making the flowers grow!" Would you accept my reasoning? Maybe if you were insane and lacked critical thinking skills.

In conclusion, shut up.

" the grace of God has appeared to bring salvation unto all men, teaching us to deny ungodliness & wordly lusts, that we should live soberly, and godly in this present world; LOOKING FOR THAT BLESSED HOPE AND THE GLORIOUS APPEARING OF THE GREAT GOD AND OUR SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST..."
(2 Titus 2:11)

The Minister of The First Baptist Church in Watertown, NY let go of a Sunday School teacher that had been teaching for 54 years. The Minister says women can perform any job outside of church but in church only men will teach since women cannot teach men. He has gone to the literal interpretation of the Bible.

What are your thoughts on this?

"Let there be no harm and no reciprocating of harm."
- Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)

Violence, crime, and violent crimes are not new to Western and American society. What is new is the use of high-tech advancements in broadcasting that beam scenes into our homes. An example of this is the graphic image that we see of youth storming the campus of their high school with guns blazing.

I had considerd that the oil seeped thru the door, but it was in a slightly different spot, and my back window was tamperd with- the only religious person I know is my ex's new girlfriend and now my ex- since he started going to church with her- but they are Morman- I can't find anything- that would suggest what the crosses mean- any ideas? I did call the police and filed a report but they can't do anything about it with out proof- they wouldn't even tell me what the substence is- whcich didnt wash off either- can anyone offer me any ideas? I am not making this up either-

God, etc. Don't you have preachers, or men from the church you attend to "learn" from? Many of you tell Atheists and other groups here to get off this forum if they don't like the questions and or answers. Well why do you need to come to this forum to "learn"? Why don't you just ask your question in church or bible study? Maybe you don't know as much as you think and you are just a bit curious about us Atheists?
So the question would be: What is the real reason you frequent this forum?

I think-- and, of course I cannot speak for atheists, nor would I want to-- that they are offended by a rejection of reason and the embrace of mythology.

Perhaps they are unable to distinguish between mere ignorance and willful ignorance. I know I am.

I mean seriously, if you believe you have no afterlife, you should be the nicest group of people on earth. I mean because if I was atheist, I'd make sure not to piss anyone off to where they kill me because that's it!! So why are alot of atheists on Yahoo such smartasses and hate Christians?

How can you all believe in something that you cannot prove? What evidence do you have to back up your beliefs??

The following are some of the ills far removed from Islamic teaching western civilization can offer our youths:

Depression and Bipolar Disorder: Depression affects people of all ages. As a parent, how can you help?

Suicide: Every minute one person will attempt suicide; Every 18 minutes one person will succeed.

Substance Abuse: Alcohol and drug abuse is one of the primary areas of concern among today's youth.

Teen Pregnancy: Approximately 1 million teenage girls get pregnant every year.

ADD / ADHD (Attention-Deficit / Inattention or Hyperactivity Disorder),

Lying and Dishonesty: Why is lying a serious problem and how can you encourage truthfulness?

Smoking: Adolescent tobacco use leads to experimenting with drugs and alcohol.

Oppositional Defiance: Children with frequent temper tantrums and who display resentful or vindictive behavior on a regular basis.

I can handle that, but Muslims, no virgins please, its too much work to train them. Allah is free to give all the virgins to the insecure Muslim men, I have no quarrel there, but theres gotta be some room for negotiation.

Also, the Islamic rivers of wine...I prefer a bud or rum...wine is fine at dinner but not for partying. Muslims, do we have a better bartender her or are we stuck with the cheap Allah version. Your not trying to tell me Heaven is liquour doesnt even meet a third rate bar standard?

Some Muslim will probably respond with --- "its not alcholic wine!!". Thats so funny, cause the Quran just says "wine" that is "a pleasure to drink". LOL...sounds 100% clear to me!!!


“(Here is paradise) which the righteous are promised: in it are rivers of water incorruptible… RIVERS OF WINE, a JOY to those who drink; and rivers of honey pure and clear.” http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/047.qmt.html#047.015
