The first amendment says: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

Is freedom of speech the ground in which freedom of religion is planted? What types of freedom of religion are possible under regimes that repress speech?

The great sci-fi movie, now looks like sheer genuis.

Civilization quibble amongst itself, builds the weapons of mass destruction...and the apes take over.

Ape culture, as depicted in the movie, how different is that from any Islamic country today? Visually...philisophically?

I believe this great author should be given the Nobel prize and declared a Prophet, next to the great Samuel Huntington.

There are a ton of questions on this site from non-believers. If they don't believe, then why are they so concerned with God, the bible and the beliefs of Christians?

A previously unknown Islamic group calling itself "The Army of Guidance" pledged Tuesday to strike at Christian targets in the Gaza Strip in retaliation for the remarks.

"Every place relevant to Christians will be a target," said a statement from the group. "This will be until the accursed infidel, the Vatican, apologizes to Muslims."

The mainly muslim terrorists seem to justify their acts of violence by what is written in their holy book, but is the underlying reason for terrorism jealousy? The reason for this jealousy being the wealth, technology and freedom gained by the west has all been achieved without their religion. Whereas development under muslim control has generally been slow and problematic.

Like, is the pentagram part of Wicca? I've always wondered what that stood for. I've been shopping for rocks and crystals because I want to collect them, and I see a lot that are categorized as "Wiccan." How is that a part of the practice? Also, is "Wicca" the same as "paganism"? All these different names are confusing!

Please, I'd like to hear from some people who follow Wicca or can speak objectively about it. I understand that there's probably people who don't agree with it, but only hearing from people who hate the whole thing won't help! Thanks a lot!

1- Lack of credible, tangible evidence
2- Opposition to science throughout history
3- Fantastic and illogical verses in holy books
4- Threatening and violent verses in holy books
5- Contradictions in holy books
6- Disagreements and differences between religions

and how can these ever be enough to prove that religions are not man-made

1- Complexity and beauty of the universe
2- Amazing events and coincidences in life
3- Miracles which are claimed to be performed by prophets
4- Using tangible things like air and electricity in proving intangible
things like spirit or God
5- Positive effects of belief

Early in December of 2001, a Sharia religious court of appeal in Muslim-dominated northwest Nigeria ordered a stay of execution for a woman who had been sentenced by a lower court to be stoned to death for having sex outside of marriage. The woman contended that she had been raped. The court granted the stay to allow Safiya Hussaini, 33, to appeal her sentence by a lower Sharia court in the state of Sokoto. The woman is a divorced mother with five children who would be orphaned and probably perish if the execution were carried out.

The court imposed the sentence after Hussaini asked it to compel a man to pay for her infant daughter's naming ceremony. She charged he had raped her three times and impregnated her. When she charged the man with rape, the court dismissed the charges against him, citing a lack of evidence because she was the sole witness.

I believe that all animals from cats and dogs, to fish, insects, snakes, birds, etc. all have souls. I'm not sure what a soul is, but whatever it is, I think that if people have it, other animals definitely do too.

My boss at work and I always argue about this. He thinks humans are the only ones that have a soul.

What do you think?

So apparently today is "talk like a pirate day." Many "pastafarians," as they call themselves, are considering this a holy day, while Yahoo! and other sources claim that it was started by two guys just trying to see how far it would spread, and to dis his ex wife. So how is it a holy day when it's basically just made up? Does that say that the religion is made up too? Opinions?

Serious answers only!

I keep hearing that Islam is a religion of peace but is that what it's founder believed? Was the alleged profit perhaps two-faced? He talked of peace when it suited him, but did he not take Mecca by force? How do Muslims account for this paradox? Was Muhammad bi-polar?

Please don't respond with "Christians are violent. Look at the crusades". It's a moot point and not the concern of this quesion.

you are mistaken, islam IS peaceful

islamic definition of peace: absence of opposition to islam

there will be peace once no one is left who is not muslim or does not recognizes muslims as superior and pays the required fee
-a quote from someones else question.
why are the klling of non-muslims. cant you show love and compassion for the other man's life and family?
why are there just peace when there is only muslims on the earth?

I expect sensible remarks, if possible. Refrainf from quoting scripture, otherwise at the first sign of scripture I'll thumbs-down your answer and I won't read it.

Why do people keep asking the exact same questions about Muslims over and over again?...Shouldn't they be required to read the answers to the other stupid questions before asking the same question again?
