Is it an assault on Buddhists , Muslims, atheists, or anybody? After all these people are in fact human so I still care about them. Is it a violation of anyone's rights or is it a recognition of their inherent human value?

I promise "I'm Obsolete" that I would post this question in the interest of fairness, as I posted it to atheists yesterday

The population of the earth was 6 billion in the year 2000.
In 1500 the population of earth was 450 million. Assuming the same growth rates over the last 6000 years.....(im going to round)
In 1,000 A.D. 33,758,000 people on earth
In 500 A.D. 2,530,000 people
in the year 0 190,000 people
500 BC 14,250
1000 BC 1070 people
1500 BC 80 people
2000 BC 6 people
I know what you are saying...6 people in 2000 BC? No way. But we cant use traditional math now because we dont know exactly how many kids were being born per family.A few extra kids here and there can really push the time line back. Not to mention that now we are getting into the time when people lived to be 900 years old according to the bible so traditional math doesnt work. Also remember that it was around this time that God sent the flood and killed everyone on earth. That explains the low population count also in the year 2000 B.C. The math isnt perfect but its close.

Last I looked humanity has never invented a weapon it didn't use and as I worked in R&D in the military I know that all of the researchers and developers where scientists and engineers, not a single member of the clergy, why should I trust science?

In fact I don't see where in history a priest, pastor, reverend or what have you ever invented a weapon.

Some hispanic man claims he is Jesus. His trademark number is 666. People are believing him! He drinks and smokes and uses the number 666. That is evil. Why would Jeusus use that? He also says you follow GOD with your mind not your heart. The BIBLE says to follow HIM with your heart. And he reads the BIBLE!!! He is making a lot of money and getting people to tattoo 666 on themselves. Is anyone else outraged?!!!

and love come into your heart?When I asked Jesus to come into my heart and asked Jesus to forgive my sins.Jesus filled me with peace and love.That does not mean that I have not had very hard times latter.But when Jesus saved me I felt a real experience.I love everyone and forgive everyone no matter what even if they would take me and cut my head off that would not stop me from loving them,But I am still making mistakes and screwing up.I try hard to help others.Thats Jesus' doing not mine.I am a person who commits sin and Jesus said if you say you do not sin you are a lier.Do You Understand What I Am Trying To Ask You???We are not good.But we have to tell others that we screw up.Because we do.And the religious so called Good.are no different.Jesus said if you break one commandment you broke all of them,So if you lie which we all do at one time or another Jesus then means we all are murderers.The only way to heaven is receiving Jesus in your heart.And dont live a lie.Your input ????

Just say yes or no. Unless you do believe in Him then you can give a long answer.

After all Christ himself taught us to love our neighbors as ourselves. He is also known as the Prince of Peace. I think it would be good idea if more of us who believe in Him worked harder to follow His example. Do most people agree?

Is this statement a presupposition and therefore a dogmatic statement hence it undermines itself or is there really a true neutral position one can start with and be justified in doing so.

I was told to say no to peer pressure. God seems to be a pretty mean guy in the Old Testament, even in the New. But all these God addicts are asking me to join in their trade. I even have to pay (it's not mandatory...but somehow you pay anyways).

Should I say no to GodDealers?

That is totally false, right? And yet Protestants do that all the time to Jesus' mother Mary? Do they honestly think that God will be PLEASED with their bad treatment of his mother?

Example: A man goes to heaven and says to Jesus: "I totally ignored your mother and called her an unimportant person! Don't you just love me for that?" I'm thinking that Jesus would be pretty PO'd at this guy...
