Has anyone else noticed that there have been a lot more hateful "questions" towards Muslims/Islam lately on here?

I mean, normally us Atheists and the Christians are tearing at each other, but MAN....I have seen more anti-Muslim bull-honky lately than anything (yes, I said bull-honky...I'm from the south...).

Why do you think that is? Is something going on right now that would cause a new upheavel? Or, is it just a continuous fear of the unknown, and it's just more noticeable because the anti-Atheist/Christian comments have slowed?

Why are we so against each other? I know that people are always getting mad at each other on here for generalizing...so why do people generalize Muslims? Just because there are crazy extremists out there doesn't mean they are ALL like that!

Just curious is all. Any thoughts?

"But we do not say the words of cheer much any more. All smiles have become archaic [...] The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain. If you can't lick 'em, join 'em. If it hurts, repeat it. But to praise despair is to condemn delight, to embrace violence is to lose hold of everything else. We have almost lost hold; we can no longer describe a happy man, nor make any celebration of joy"

What if, as some Cosmologists and Mathmaticians postulate, there is a fourth pyhsical dimension that we as three dimensional creatures cant percieve.
A four dimensional cube is called a tesseract and would look like a normal cube to us but would cast an unusual shadow and be percieved that way.
Four dimensional creatures would, to us, be able to appear and dematerialize at will pop in and out of locked rooms and behave like ghosts and other paranormal phenomona.

Could the process of meditation, ritual prayers etc be a way of tuning in to this fourth pyhsical dimension?
Wacky I know and I'm not to sure of the math and science but could this be a rationalised interpretation of the spiritual experience?

This is an interesting article of some recently formulated theories which appear to have the supporting rudiments of hard evidence.

We may all be a tiny bit closer to answering a very, very big question. I found the report of it right here on Yahoo this morning. See what you think of it.

I've heard that abortions have increased since Clinton left office. The theory is that poverty and being unable to care for a child is the key reason cited for a woman to have abortion.

The vast majority of women who carry a child in their womb will NOT give up the baby for adoption. And in the case of an older child, it is even harder to give up that child.

So, do you thiink that if programs are offered to help these women care for their children, maintain an education, and obtain a decent paying job, that we could help these women to choose life for their children?

If you oppose abortions, and a mother will not give up their child, how do you propose that preventing abortions will save that child? Sure they live, but should we not care about what happens to that child AFTER they are born??

Does this sound like a plausible explanation tying religion and science? According to Newtons law of Physics he believed for every action there was an equal and opposite reaction . Keeping this in Mind Einstien once stated that if we could use 100% of our brain power , we would become pure energy. Does this sound plausible then at death , this would describe a person becoming all knowing and an angel in heaven?

There are many things that show that man knew of dinosaurs long before the 1800's.

One example is on a ten foot column at the Ta Prohm Cambodian Temple (dedicated in 1186) there is a replica of a stegosaurus.

The theory of evolution says that dinosaurs died millions of years before man, but the Bible says that man and dinosaurs lived together.

Does not the theory of evolution need to be changed?

"You are going to hell" That's what you say to people who ask you questions? I thought Christians were suppossed to be concerned and caring about their neighbor (or any person they come in contact with) Why cant you say it a differant way- like "the path of heaven is with Jesus" or "by accepting Jesus you have been accepted by God" You all sound like jerks. No wonder I know so many people who fled from christianity toward other religions as fast as they could.

People, think through the ramifications of a decision to overturn Roe V Wade. Almost every Christian will agree that abortion should not be used as a form of birth control and that is what we want to stop.

But let's say Roe V Wade is overturned, there are doctors who will still agree to perform abortions under the table and in most cases it will be performed by the "back alley" doctors and in unsterile conditions. Sure we can close them down, but that's like saying more police protection will stop drug dealers. Where there is demand there will be a supply to meet that demand.

So, how will making a law really STOP abortions?

im not sure i am. working in this ratrace, conforming to the 9-5 lifestyle, waiting for the next pay day, and trying to fit a few days of fun in here and there isnt how i imagined my life to turn out. I cant help but feel i have a greater purpose in life (almost a spiritual feeling inside) to do something more productive in life other than what im doing now. I want to get to the end of my life and feel life truly was an 'adventure' - and that i had done something worthwhile and successful on my time on earth (other than spend my life chasing money and material things). Anyone else have any views on this? TIA

In Christianity, we have the Holy trinity, or three aspects of God, in Hinduism there are many aspect's of God- symbolized as different Deity. In Jewish Mysticism there are 72 names of God. Couldn't these all be different ways of expressing something so huge- it's hard to put into words- the true totality of God. People negate these other expressions of the Divine as blasphemism- because they state that "they" worship many. I believe it is a misinterpretation- that the "many" are just aspects of the one Supreme God, and that even Christians have their own way of expressing this Truth with the Trinity
