Nope. While I respect someone's right to believe in whatever they want, if
they believe in doG I'm going to ridicule them all day long. You have the
right to believe whatever you like. I have the right to think you are stupid
for holding those beliefs. Hell, religion is an IQ test. Have religion? You

If you hold that religion equals a low IQ, you must belong to a lonely
religion. Some of the greatest intellects of history were religious giants.
Moses Maimonides, Thomas Aquinas, and many others.

It's not that those without religion don't believe in anything; the problem
is that they believe in everything.

Stormin Mormon wrote:

Here's my take: When the Jews left Egypt to wander in the desert, they had
to have a system of laws governing virtually everything beyond worship. The
613 commandments in the Torah were the starting point and developed through
the Mishnah and Gematria.

The Arabs started with the revelations of Mohammed and Sharia law grew from
that.

Both Jewish law and Sharia went way beyond religious practice to include
marriage, divorce, inheritance, contracts, protocols of war, trade,
commerce, the planting of beans, regulations of occupations, ordinary crime,
and the entire corpus of what we would call jurisprudence.

The Jews, through exile and minority status, subsumed their laws to the
secular laws in force wherever they found themselves.

Christianity came into being in a society already sophisticated in law - the
early Christians had no need to develop rules regarding crime, adoption,
marriage, contracts, and the like. The Romans had already taken care of all
that. That is, the Christians were already used to living under a system of
pre-existing laws.

But the Arabs were not subjected to any society's already-existing secular
laws - Sharia simply grew and grew more powerful.

Give them three thousand years (like the Jews) or two thousand years (like
the Christians) and maybe they'll get their **** together.

Interestingly, Sharia law IS enforceable in the United States. If two
parties to a contract stipulate that disagreements will be settled under
terms of Sharia, U.S. courts will (usually) enforce that clause.

Sinai, plus women, children, slaves, donkeys, and people who got on the

life is messed up, they're shunned, banned, stoned to death, outcast, as

less fortunate than ourselves, and set an example for other religions
and cultures to aspire to.

Support the people who are out there trying to make the world a

Take your plonk and shove it up your plonker. Your an idiot!!!
Just because you don't believe don't get down on people if they
want to believe in God. For your information I don't believe in
god, but I believe in the Christian religion and Christians are
a group of people who *are* out there trying to make the world a
better place. I don't believe your a good person or you wouldn't
be down on people who do believe. Christian organizations donate
time, money, whatever they have to help people. I respect that!!
If they want to believe God exist, so be it, it doesn't hurt me.
Idiots like you probably never helped anyone and laugh at people
who need help. Your the kind of person that screws up the world
for decent people. You'd probably stand by and watch someone get
robbed and killed or drive by and laugh at traffic accidents when
someone needs help. You only care about yourself. Churches give
people (mostly Christians) a place to gather and an organization
where they can help people. There are more decent people at
churches than you hang out with wherever it is you hang out.

What organizations are you a member of? The Moose Lodge?
What have you done to help anyone, ever? You talk a good game,
and know some fancy words, while saying a person doesn't need
to be a Christian to do good works, but what have you actually
done to help anyone? Anyone who hates Christians as much as
you never does anything for anyone, unless it's for something
material in return.

Trying to figure out if something actually happened 3,000 years ago
is difficult, if not impossible, until something conclusive actually
happens to prove one way or the other. I let people believe what they
want to believe as long as it doesn't hurt anyone or anything. If a
higher power did exist at that time, he did things that started
people on a path that after all this time has developed into groups
who want to make the world a better place without anything they can
put in their pocket to show for it. That's the kind of world I want
to live in. Faith gives people hope, and spirit to endure, what must

of them washed out. Dumb. Incapable of rational thought. Annoying. Slowed
down the whole class. Gone. Duh. Respect doG believers? You MUST be kidding.


Well, let's see. There is a list here
http://www.adherents.com/people/100_scientists.html or
http://tinyurl.com/y3hmzb of scientists.
Some have their religious affiliation listed. Way at the bottom is
a list of scientists who are/were also Christians.

I'm not saying you have to believe in God, Just believe in the good
that Christianity does. It helps a lot of people who would otherwise
suffer when thoughtless people refuse to offer a little help. When
with a little help their lives could improve and as a result,
everyones lives could be better.
Support the people who are out there trying to make the world a
better place for everyone.

That would be a little easier to take if it was not for the reality. In the
news recently a couple of priests and ministers are arrested for embezzling
and/or misuse of church money. I'm talking in the millions. They you have
the priests with the little boys. Not to say most priests are like that, a
couple have run off with the girlfriends and married. In particular the one
that got a young girl he was counseling pregnant.

I just have run into too many hypocrites to get all warm and fuzzy about
Christians being better people than others. .

Nah, just human. Can't remember the shrink name for it. 'Cognitive
dissonance' or something like that? I've know several bible thumpers
over the years- very nice people for the most part, a few brilliant in
their career fields, but as soon as the subject turned to religion, all
the other compartments of the brain shut down, and they started spouting
the nonsense pounded into their unformed brain as a kid. I had a real
hard time once not breaking out laughing at a guy a worked with, when it
became clear he truly believed the crap about the earth only being 6400?
(or was it 4600?) years old. On normal subjects, including the stuff we
had to work on together, he was quite common-sense and practical. I
quit talking with coworkers about religion after that.

(Side note- one of the many reasons I am not a big fan of
home-schooling. Although few parents in general are qualified to teach
their kids past second grade or so, the home-school population skews
pretty heavily toward the highly religious crowd. I have trouble
believing those kids are getting anything resembling a complete science
education.)

Questioned or doubted is more fair than ridiculed. Peoples beliefs
are their own.

Nope. While I respect someone's right to believe in whatever they
want, if they believe in doG I'm going to ridicule them all day
long. You have the right to believe whatever you like. I have the
right to think you are stupid for holding those beliefs. Hell,
religion is an IQ test. Have religion? You have a very low IQ. Just
common sense. You, of course, have the right to believe otherwise.
You're wrong, but you have the right to be wrong, as well.

You're saying you don't respect me, you respect my rights.
Ridiculing doesn't make you the great thinker you wish you were.

Ridiculing anything that has zero evidence is OK. *He's trying to help
you.

Zero evidence? There were 700,000 eye-witnesses to God's manifestation at
Sinai, plus women, children, slaves, donkeys, and people who got on the
wrong bus. This phenomenon was finally written down in the Bible and has
remained unchanged for 3,000 years.

As such, it has as much accuracy and believability as, for example, the New
York Times!

Aha. Spouting you usual ill-informed ********.
Several hundred years after Christ, variourious synods of Antioch were
convened. Here the bible was edited and re-written. Large parts were
removed as they didn't fit in with then current predjudices. (For
example Jesus' female disciples.)
Extra-ordinary efforts were made to round up and destroy copies of the
bible deemed heretical. (And individuals). Neverthe less some have
come down to us in part .
There may be original copies of the bible in the vatican library but
htey ain't saying.
So the bible is just a bunch of medieval crap and predjudice.
As is Christianity that is based on it Esp. the Roman Catholic church
which was responsible for these lies.
The bible thumpers of the USA have just made religion into a well paid
career/business. Only the credulous and simple minded subscribe to
such bigoted lies.
