They seem to have more "luck" in life ....
so what did people who are at a severe social disadvantage (like the handicap or people society consideres disgusting or reviling) do to deserve their punishment?

Are you ready to be converted to a non-believer, and start believing in commonsense, logic and science. Open your hearts to the beauty, safety and happiness that exists in reality, and say no, once and for all to mythical religious cults and beliefs.

By all means believe that the universe may have been created. By all means believe that there may have been a creator. By all means hope that there was a creator. By all means hope that if there was a creator, then that creator is good.

But please, for goodness sake, once and for all, please stop this religious nonsense of making up fantasy imaginary facts like God exists, Jesus exists, my Lord exists, God is good, the Bible is fact, religion is good, and all similar rubbish type hopes and bunkum.

Please stop this religious nonsense once and for all, for the sake of a decent humanity and better world for our children. Just try and open your eyes and heart to reality, it’s not that difficult, and that’s a fact.

I have an interesting concept for all to consider which I will present after responses are given. This is a serious question so evaluate what you truly believe before remarking.

That's what I hear everytime I'm with a lady, which is every night of the week. I'm so fly and buff! Why can't women be more creative and yell out something like "Mo! Mo! Mo! Gime some Mo! Mo!" Sure it's the thought that counts, but "Oh God YES!" is getting a little old. How about it ladies? What would YOU scream out as I'm giving you good lovin?

conception or do you think that the spirit or soul does not have a gender but ends up usually identifying with the gender of the body in which it was placed?

---Like people who society considers really reviling and disgustingly ugly, or a turn off? Are these people "bad" or are the inherently "good" just because they are handicap or societally challenged looks wise?

and before you say that god wants to teach us compassion or test you.
Does it sound right if you were to respond to a handicap's question "why me"? with : Well, you were made that way to test me (us)! Or so people like you can teach the rest of us some compassion! I'm sure that would sooth the mind of the person who asks "why me" that God made them a sacrificial lamb to society..............

It Ain't Gonna Happen! You have to make your heaven here fight now on Earth and you are not going to do it alone-You are going to need people that are not persecuted by a SATAN (another nonexisting entity created to try to scare you into religious ways) but see the value of Mother Earth for what she is and not what she can give-She is hurting now because these religious morons believe in this BE "fruitful and multiply" and now with 7 billion people consuming the air and at least 1 buillion cars burning 500 X's that amont of oxygen-not to mention the energy needs of the total population-JESUS AINT GONNA SAVE SHEET-Smart and Real thinking are going to be the necessary need and instead of having your nose in a 2000 year old manuscript that didn't even tell you the world was round-you will need to put your best efforts forward in taking the future of this planet serious-otherwise it wont only be Pluto that isn't a planet anymore-but we might become the second asteroid belt in the solar sys

I read a book "god without religion" that went back and forth, but it asked the reader to look at what we believe 'god' to be without the bias of religion and see what kind of a world we could live in without so much violence and chaos, hate and exclusivity, the idea of specialness and holy people, chosen ones etc. Is it possible to fathom a 'god' without what we have been told what 'god' is? LOL you try

and i close my eyes,
im so facsinated,

that Youre not real?
Youre the way,
Youre all i feel
Youre everything im looking for,

Some people say:
"All animals are heterosexuals, and that's how humans also should be, since it's the natural order of things". Since these two penguines (According to Christianity) have no choice and no souls, it means they're fully under God's way of creating them, and they're both gay, BORN this way.

I mean, most porn websites, full of Christians. Any best selling porn magazines, Christians! XXX films - Christians. I even found that Playboy is a multi billion dollar business in US. If US laws are based on Bible (I heard so) how come it allows these porns?

Or bible just teaches "Click here if you are 18+, otherwise leave.."??

yea yea go ahead give me a thumbs down and say REPORTED thats the best you could do but can't change the reality you pathetic fools!!

Archelogy of the region leaves no question whatsoever. All the rituals of Islam, bowing to the kabba, hajj, stoning the devil, etc...were all practiced by the pagans before Islam.

Muslims respond by saying "Ibrihim came before the pagans and set up these practices".How absurd. These pagans were the FIRST CIVILIZATIONS!! There were no other civlizations before them!!

Research it >>>
Did the Pagan Arabs in pre-Islamic times worship 360 gods? Yes
Did the pagans Arabs worship the sun, moon and the stars? Yes
Did the Arabs built temples to the Moon-god? Yes
Did different Arab tribes give the Moon-god different names/titles? Yes
What were some of the names/titles? Sin, Hubul, Ilumquh, Al-ilah.
Was the title “al-ilah” (the god) used as the Moon-god? Yes
Was the word “Allah” derived from “al-ilah?” Yes
Was the pagan “Allah” a high god in a pantheon of deities? Yes.
Was he worshipped at the Kabah? Yes.
Was Allah only one of many Meccan gods? Yes

An American Woman married to a Muslim man (visit her website) writes: I can't tell you how many times I heard that phrase, over and again, from well-meaning friends, when they found out I was going marry a *gasp!* Muslim! I was also warned that he was just marrying me for a green card. To add insult injury, when I was planning a trip to Pakistan with my baby and to meet my husband's family, I heard all the "Not Without My Daughter" horror stories. "Aren't you afraid they'll try to take your baby?" I would ask, who do you mean by "they?" The Government of Pakistan? The general populace? My husband's family? Are you telling me that my husband's family exists to totally screw me over and take my son? People have always been afraid of what they don't understand. To make things worse, the perception of Muslims and Islam in western society has been totally skewed by movies and the media.

"Glass Houses". We all know the adage, "People who live in glass houses should not throw stones." When you hear someone say something to the effect that "muslims don't treat their women well," then it's time to say, "Oh, and Americans do?" Here are some statistics on spousal (or significant other) abuse, murder, and rape that men commit against their women partners, here in America, in the twenty-first century.

No, I didn't make that up.

Actually it was a quote by Bart D. Ehrman who is one of the greatest bible scholars in the world. (I think he is Professor Emetrius in University of North Carolina) In his lecture CD, Historical Jesus, Bart commented that telling Jews Jesus is the messiah is like telling a modern day American that David Koresh is the lord of the universe.
