"Priest and four nuns deny murdering novice by crucifixion...they had performed an exorcism to try and help 23-year-old Irina Cornici.

The five had last June kept Cornici locked in a room for five days at the Tanacu Monastery hanging on a cross with no water or food and a towel stuck in her mouth.

It emerged after her death that Cornici had been diagnosed as a schizophrenic and her "possession" was unlikely to be more than a series of schizophrenic episodes. "

How is what these people did any different than what crazy serial killers and sociopaths do?

For full disclosure, I am an atheist and I don't believe that there will be a “rapture” or anything like that but I do have an inquisitive mind...

If there is to be a final battle between the forces of god and satan and that it’s written that god’s army will win the battle, why would satan start the war?

Why would satan start a war that he supposedly knows that can’t be won?

Is it because you are secretly trying to find God and you want a Christian to help you along the way? If atheists don’t believe in God why try and persuade others that there isn’t a God with scientifical and political crap and become belligerent when you are disputed? WTF? Where does all the anger come? Why hang out all day in the Religion section disputing people beliefs of Jesus and God. We all know your a***s don’t believe in God. So what!!!!!!!!! and i keep hearing the same "Christians are hypocrites" Well no one is perfect and I sure as hell aint.

Thomas Paine the inspirational spark behind the American Revolution wrote in his book "The Age Of Reason":
"Of all the systems of relgion that ever were invented, there is none more derogatory to the Almighty, more unedifying to man. more repugnant to reason, and more contradictory in itself, than this thing called Chritianity."

Serious question. Why laugh about it? Why not take off the to-cool-to-care mask for a few minutes? Answer that question and you'll find out some extremely important things about yourself. Really…

It's amazing how much corporate and educational America teaches that "we must have a goal and a purpose" for whatever they are about. Every where you look there are mission statements and goal statements and objective statements, etc. With all that focus on a purpose, isn't it amazing that it never really gets down to the individual and his/her life? Oh yes, an individual person can have short term and long term goals for careers or family or education or finances or hobbies or exercise, etc. Perhaps you have some for yourself regarding these things. But the question remains, WHAT ABOUT YOUR ENTIRE LIFE - WHAT IS THE ULTIMATE PURPOSE TO THAT??? Are you going to take, trophies or bank accounts or homes or cars or careers or family members or pleasure or "fun" times, with you after you die? What will your life mean after you die?

tell their neighbors what kinds of flowers to plant in their front yard ...or what kind of car to buy....or where to send their children to school why do they feel it's perfectly OK to "instruct" them about their religious beliefs or lack of religious beliefs? Shouldn't we respect a persons choice even if they greatly differ from our own?

why are there people that "are not turly amish"? this is just not right. how can one not truly be what they've suposedly devoted they're whole life to? why would you go to the major grocery store in town and buy concentrated frozen orange juice if you were at all amish? you're either amish, or you're not amish. and if these people that are walking around that are driving their metros, and smoking cigarattes can wear one of those funny hats, than so can i. give me one.

last year i was out driving in the middle of nowhere, and this little girl, playing out by an amish farm, in amish clothes, was barefoot playing with a KOOSH BALL, she acidently threw it into the street, and we stoped so she could grab it, she ran out into the street in front of our car, grabed her toy, and ran up to her SINGLEWIDE TRAILER and went inside. WTF?! you are either amish, or not amish. you shouldent be "only some amish" like in other Yahoo! questions i've read that were asked several months ago.

"It is apointed unto man once to die, and then the judgement ? My only explination is that death only comes when the silver cord (if youre familiar with it) of the soul breaks. Maybe the soul of the baby only left the body for a period of time, and was ready to come back to life. Or maybe people who went into Hades could be brought forth by the Lord, and only after Jesus broke the doors of death were the souls condamned to "die only once".

…that you just wanted to think of the most blasphemous thing to say and let it fly.

There is this one poster today who seems to think she has all the answers about the myth of creationism.

What stopped me is that I would be attacking not only this nimrod, but some other christians who are reasonable and decent people.

Is there a way to smash these mental midget who claim christianity with minimal collateral damage
