If you were a god, and you chose to create a world (or worlds), what would your creation be like? Would you make yourself known to your creation? Would you set forth any rules? Would there be an afterlife? Let's see some creative answers for a slow Friday afternoon! Hehe

I get as irritated as anyone else about propaganda overseas - portraying us as the "great satan." My intention is not to tell you there's no evil in the world. I know there is.

Let's be fair on both ends, here. How many parinoid stories have we fallen for in our own culture? We've been through at least three big red scares, the terrorists, Y2K, inquititions and witch trials. Roswell even. There's been stories coming out of our churches for over a hundred years about "who really murdered Christ." The Jews of course.

Look at the entertainment of even little children in our culture. What's the recurring theme in cartoons over and over. Some diabolical charactor. Some dark figure. Oh, save us, Batman!!

We teach our children that those who don't pick up our box of personal opinion will be thrown in fire by God. That anyone who feels differently than we do, votes for someone we don't, or looks differant than us is bad and will be damned.

IT'S OUR DOWNRIGHT HOBBY.

I think Chuck Norris is a little more trustworthy than God, and let's face facts if someone tried to bribe Chuck Norris he would swiftly roundhouse kick them in the face.

When you have survived the brainwashing, and the soulbashing, and your bitterness has dispersed...
When you no longer feel put down by their ignorance and arrogance, and hypocritical moral superiority...
When their man made idealogy no longer oppresses you...
When the Christian threat to Democracy has been overcome...

When the mindfuck is over...

Will you become free to believe in god?

I have read so many comments thats regarding christians and Atheist. Why is it that christians have so many negatives to say about the non believers and the non beleivers think that all Christians are idiots? Dont people know that relion (faith) is an argument that no one can ever win? Why do people judge each other so much? If people are generaly "good" shouldnt that be all that matters..Basically im trying to say..Why cant we just all get along???

There are many parts in the Bible that Christians obviously don't follow in reality, while regarding others they quote the Bible all the time. E. g. you always quote the Bible to justify corporal punishment of your kids. Still fortunately you don't follow the Bible so far that you stone your kids. You say the Bible is the base for ethics and morals, still you always use a selection of quotes. I suppose you don't kill or steal and you don't lie intentionally. But do you seriously offer your other cheek? Do you give everything you have to the poor?
It looks to me that you already have your thinking, and you ignore in the Bible what you don't like but you quote what you like and use it as if it was an unbeatable arguement. And I think your own thinking is often better than the Bible, so regarding the extreme violence like stoning your kid you feel you must not follow it although it is written there. But why do you use other parts of the Bible then?

No one which i know gone to heaven , No one was totally happy all the time , No one was totally healthy all the time , finally every body will die with pain , Everyday people kill each other for religous issues. Everyday religous salespersons try to get more people to their side, Since the history was written there are no prper evidence to miracles. My question is .

Why people still want to say , My religion is the ultimate answer for GOD or relief?

I asked this before to some degree, and if you want to argue that we don't use them, you are mistaken. It is declassified now and I can talked briefly on it.
But, any rational person would investigate this, I'm calling your bluffs right now.
If you want more info, just ask.

People seem to think that I'm "hiding" or making some sort of statement with my mask. I'm not, really. I just have a mask on because my name, Girl Wonder, is meant to be a superhero name, and superheros wear masks, so... there you go.

To prove I am not hiding, here are a couple pictures of me sans mask. Happy now?

Aren't these principles much better than those contained in the "Ten Commandments"?:

The Jain ethical code is taken very seriously. Five vows are followed by both laity and monks/nuns. These are:

Nonviolence
Truth
Non-stealing
Chastity
Non-possession or Non-possessiveness

18 activities, called Päpsthänaks, that should be eradicated:

Violence
Untruth
Theft
Unchaste behaviour
Possesiveness
Anger
Arrogance
Greed
Deceit
Attachment
Hate
Arguing
Accusation
Gossip
Criticism
Prejudice and Dislikes
Malice
Wrong belief

We are like cats who s||it on a concrete floor, going around the s||it to find some soil to cover it.

Truth is bitter.

We know the truth , but we are so addict to our past beliefs and because of tradition we cannot say - Yes our religion is stupid. And the Bible of Quran was written on the cave age. ( Australian Aborigien type age )

pray for my death ,
