Since most Muslims are law abiding, surely this will reduce the terrorist concentration?

And should we not also try to accommodate the Muslim community better by obliging all women to were the hijab, whatever their religion?

Muslims are offended when they see girls going out uncovered, going out on dates etc.

does the word church mean to you? the Greek word Ecclesia means church and refers to a collective body of believers and do you agree we couldnt have a church until it was purchased by the blood of Jesus

I know that I am getting into heavy theology here but as a LDS Elder I feel that it is wrong for us to exclude others due to their Sex, Race, Religion, Ethnic Background, Language, Language Skills, Education Level, Sexual Preference, National Origin, Political Affiliation, Political Opinion, Racial Mate Preference, City of Birth, Occupational Choice, Income Level, Ancestry, Food Choices, Health Habits, Residential Status, Governmental Loyalties, Club Affiliation, Grade Point Average, Skin Pigment, Hair Color, Eye Color, Height, Weight, Circumference, Muscle Tone, Voice Tone, Media Preferences, or Clothes Preference. I know that I left out tattoo preference but I think that's nasty or is it? Get my point?

Also, if you believe that God is calling us to push others aside or exclude others because they are different leave your opinion here as well. You don't have to be a compassionate Christian just to answer my question.

Here is the intro from their website

The ACLU fights just as hard for INDIVIDUAL free exercise of religion as the ACLU fights against GOVERNMENT endorsement, sponsorship, or establishment of religion. Despite this fact, many people spread misinformation about the ACLU around the internet, innocently and maliciously, falsely claiming the ACLU is anti-religion or anti-Christian.

This list of FACTS counteracts that misinformation. These links represent just a few of the many examples of the ACLU defending the free speech and free exercise rights of Christians (for purposes of this list, the word “Christian” means a person who self-identifies as “Christian”).

In every example, the ACLU is defending the right of a Christian to speak as a Christian or to practice Christianity."

This is followed by about 30 examples of the ACLU DEFENDING the right of CHRISTIANS to practice thier faith.

There are a lot of people who say that all it takes to be a Christian is to believe in Jesus, correct? Satan clearly believes in the central tenets of Christianity. He believes, for example, that Jesus, the Son of God, was sacrificed to redeem the sins of mankind--for if Satan does not believe this, why did he tempt Jesus in an effort to sabotage his divine mission? He also believes in the resurrection of Jesus, in the power of God to work miracles, and in the existence of a heaven and a hell. Satan obviously believes in Jesus, so is Satan a Christian?

I have heard this argument over and over that statistically speaking, evolution is very unlikely. I asked a question about evolution and some guy claimed he had even worked out the math himself and said it was basically impossible. Alright creationists, I want you to give me a specific mathematical equation that proves that evolution is statistically impossible. Don't just say it. I want specific math. That means numbers for those of you who are not familiar with mathematics.

The LORD said to Moses, 17 "Say to Aaron: 'For the generations to come none of your descendants who has a defect may come near to offer the food of his God. 18 No man who has any defect may come near: no man who is blind or lame, disfigured or deformed; 19 no man with a crippled foot or hand, 20 or who is hunchbacked or dwarfed, or who has any eye defect, or who has festering or running sores or damaged testicles. 21 No descendant of Aaron the priest who has any defect is to come near to present the offerings made to the LORD by fire. He has a defect; he must not come near to offer the food of his God. 22 He may eat the most holy food of his God, as well as the holy food; 23 yet because of his defect, he must not go near the curtain or approach the altar, and so desecrate my sanctuary. I am the LORD, who makes them holy.

What technically is the real food of Hid GOd or Holy food? Is it the Holy communion?

and not God. Jesus was GOD, he came to earth in human form.
Why don't they believe that, and do they have the right to call themselves Christians.?
Should they call themselves something else,
and if so what should they be called.
When someone tells me they are a christian,
I believe them, I don't think for a minute I am talking to a JW, are they giving false impressions definitely YES. (Should they stop
YES)

Alright, a few years ago I was Christian, I had taken Jesus into my heart, etc. Now, I'm not Christian any more, but my sister said once you believe in God, your name is forever written in the book of God and you'll still go to heaven. Is this true?

Some KIDS come to me tellin me "Joe Smith WAS a Prophet!!!!" " The Book of Mormon IS another testament of Christ!"
they go: "Pray and Ask the Holy Spirit about this" ( I Did and,....so far as I can tell) 1.) 'Smitty' was a Racist
2.)He was a Wonderful Storyteller 3.)He had multiple wives(which i dont knock him for that;some of the prophets did it)
3.) I looked thru that Blue book & saw too many Nordic-Anglo saxon people in it(which turned me off) which goes back to #1 listed above
4.)Smitty was a Criminal(or he was always gettin into trouble with the law) He got 'Tar&Feathered' once and People was always runnin him up outta town!
5.) The wild "Gold-Plates" story (Scriptures are written on Parchment&the Commandments was written on Stone...why does Joey get Gold-plates?????)
6.) these KIDS that are recruiters arent even Educated about Joey Smith&the Mormons,... Instead theyre Indoctorinated
I know more about their history than They do!

was not actually an apple? It never says in the Bible that it's an apple, yet people always think this. John Milton first wrote that the fruit was an apple in "Paradise Lost" and it just kinda stuck. I want to know how many people actually knew that the fruit was not an apple, and how many people were taught in church that it was an apple.

2) Does whatever he can get away with.

3) Gets away with whatever he does.

4) Has everybody scared sh!tless of him and lovin' it -- any day now they'll be hanging pictures of him in every church, courthouse, school and dog pound in the country.

Hail, Cheney!

I am looking a common ground for all Denominations, Atheists, Pagans, or those who have no strong feelings about spiritual beliefs. Is there one universal taboo, no exceptions or "situations" under which the act or behavior might be considered proper?
